Introduction
THE HOUSTON PROJECT:
In the Lonestar State, the General started a billion dollar examination of gamma rays. After ten years of research, the scientists were able to, with a special machine taken to space with a small rocket, carefully extract the gamma rays from the atmosphere above Earth's surface. The rays were carefully secured in an underground military storage unit, and until the bomb unit was made they stayed that way.
PROJECT T.E.E.N.E.:
Stands for Teenage Experimentation for Extraordinary Nebulatic Endowment, fancy language for voluntary experimentation on children from the youngest age of eleven to the oldest age of seventeen years old. The ones older are trained for a special trained military team for an inevitable war. The teens are injected with a special liquid created by the scientist. The molecules in the body of the subject would mutate, causing a "deformity" of type. Some would actually cause psychical deformites, such as something as small as a change of eye color or something as big as change of body form. The possibilties of extraordinary abilities became endless. There were only seven teens, one of each age, tested in the first seven years. By 2012, there were already four graduates ready for the team.
2012:
The General of the Army Regniald Nathaniel Thompson was pacing. The Third World War would started as soon as he pressed the small red button, signalizing the planes to drop The Houston Project brainchild on the unsuspecting city of New York City, and plant the evidence in the offices of a French politician. He was with the leader of The Houston Project team and the four graduates from T.E.E.N.E. There was the gamma bomb, ready in the specialized planes. After a few heated debates over the issue, a impatient graduate slammed his hand on the button. After an hour of anger-filled screams and reprimandation, a small box of text came to the small pad on the wrist of the four graduates.
EVENTS:
2013= After the evidence discovered in the office of the politician, New York is completely destroyed and the United States prepares for war. One out of every one thousand people survive the gamma bomb, but die soon during the first few months of the Third World War. The state tries to reform one of the most famous American cities, but is soon taken over by the military site. New York is changed to The Zero Plane, where thousands of seventeen-year-olds are sent to be given the Liquid which gives them the extraordinary ability. The Liquid becomes tainted from its trip from Houston to The Zero Planes, and the seventeen-year-olds loose their free will but become strong and immune to the weaponry of the rival countries. South America, Africa, and Australia join the American-run North America to fight Europe and Asia, manned by France. As the military is focusing on the war, Pretty Perfects coming into the picture.
2015= The Pretty Perfect leader Wilkes has clawed his way up in power and only has the president and the general of the army standing in his way. He gets a soldier, now under his control, to kill the two quickly. Mindless Pretty Perfect officals are put in the place of the unloyal officals, and the war is ended. His most loyal, and cruel, top leaders are put in control of the other five habitable continents. Any rebellion soon dies down. Until 2019.
2019= Pretty Perfect has a strong grip on the world. Everyone wears white except for Drones, and have a small pair of earbuds which connect to their eardrums. This makes it so the people can get information as quick as the government will allow and at the same time. Their brains are trained to expect normal, boring things. Not lazer eyes or ugly people. All the normal citizens are extremely beautiful, with no blemishes. They have clear visors which can shield anything the government does not want them to see. This could be an accident, or an Ugly Thing in the city. Who knows, except for the government.
PLACES:
The Capitol: The Pretty Perfect Goverment capitol. Only government officals live in the capitol, which is just a series of government buildings. The Ugly Things have not yet gotten past the outskirts of the city. This takes up the old New York.
The Inner City: The Pretty Perfect Main city. This is where two billion people live, which makes up the rest of the land outside of New York. All the houses are white and lined by a small perfect square of artifical green grass.
The Outer City: The Pretty Perfect Main city. This is where four billion people live, which makes up Canada, Mexico, and all of Central America along with Chile. Many closeted rebels live here, and many speak their mind inside their house for in the Outer City there are no microphones in the houses. Many rebels take refuge in the houses of the allies.
The Rustics: The Ugly Thing Main Stations and Head Quarters. The HQ is set in the outskirts of the Inner AND Outer Cities. Mainly in the mountains, deserts, and the abandoned radio stations. This aggravates the Pretty Perfects.
TERMS:
Drone: This is the "soldier" of the Pretty Perfect government. They have lazer eyes, bionic arms, and wear all black. They wear shades and hoodies so their eyes and arms don't frighten the citizens. They capture and sometimes kill Ugly Things for the government. Most, unless a rebellious one is created, have no free will. They do as they are instructed.
Ugly Thing: This is the "rebel" of the Pretty Perfect government. They come in many different forms and types. The main groups are Deejay Riff and his crew at his station, the Royalties, and Mother Theresa and Blaze.
There are these types of Ugly Things:
- half-made Drones, usually teens who wake up during the operation.
- free-willed Drones, usually teens who are scheduled for termination
- A teen born in the Rustics to an Ugly Thing
- A young adult born before Pretty Perfect
- Anyone very rebellious and unloyal to the Pretty Perfect government
Newzcast: The Ugly Thing pirate technological systems. These consisted of Deejay Riff's station, Mother Thea's webcasts with Blaze, and the Royalties and Double Standards's sky messages coded with Ugly Thing words so the System couldn't read their messages. The sky messages are particularly annoying to the System, which the Ugly Things enjoy doing.
The System: The Ugly Thing term for the Pretty Perfect government. These include the Drones, the huge airships advertising big businesses and politicians, and Pretty Perfect Rules.
