Type O
The world has never known fear until now.
Blood.
It is the substance that courses through your veins, filling you with life. You are one among others, the humans that walk among the earth, the blood pumping through their veins leading the through life.
Four types of blood exist. A, B, AB, and O. It was once uncontrollable what type you got; it involved complicated genetics, something most would rather not get into. You were born with whatever you inherited from your parents and that was that. If you got sick, you had a transfusion. When conducting a blood transfusion, it was important to carefully match the donor and recipient blood types. If the donor blood cells had surface molecules that are different from those of the recipient, antibodies in the recipient's blood recognized the donor blood as foreign, and antibodies were produced, resulting in a failed transfusion. Many people died this way, something that did not settle well with the scientists of the world. They dove deeper into the world of genetics and bloody typing, discovering as much as they could in as much time as they could, to prevent the deaths of any more people.
They discovered that there was a special blood type when it comes to blood transfusions. People with type O blood are universal donors because there are no molecules on the surface of the red blood cells that can trigger an immune response. The truest blood of them all.
Those with type O were encouraged to give their blood; share their life source with the rest of the world. And they did. For years, type O blood carriers were slaves to science. They were tested on; tests that manipulated the blood gene, twisted it to serve the 'greater good'.
But what if it all went wrong?
In the year 2020, now known as the Year of the Blood Uprising, a discovery was made. It was both a blessing and a curse; an earth shattering development that would cause uproar in the name of everything that was always believed.
Type O was mutating on its own. And it was mutating into things that couldn't be explained. Children were being born with abilities: increased strength, speed and intelligence. Raised levels of brain activity. Some even claim to experience supernatural experiences.
But how can that be? This is science, and 'magic' does not exist in the world of science.
The answer lies with type O. What if there was something in the blood that the scientists overlooked? What if, in reaction to type O, another portion of the brain was unlocked? What if it changed everything about the human body, taking over, endowing the lucky person with the power and intelligence to do what ever they wanted? Type O realized what power they held. And they knew the consequences of what they were going to do.
They revolted. They stopped giving out their blood and resisted the tests they were subjected to. Disease was able to take control, ravaging the worlds populous until naught but a small percentage of those not lucky enough to be born a "True Human", as the type O carriers were now calling themselves, still survived. The True Humans took over, producing many of the weaker blood types to serve only as inferiors to the elite, slaves in a world once equal.
The year is now 2600 and the world is now torn in two: Those who believe that the power lies with the True Humans, and those who believe that all should have a fair chance at glory in the world. A war is afoot and no one knows how things will turn out; they only know that they are willing to fight for what they believe in, no matter what.
