The cobalt bomb was tested in 1965 and was the first one of its kind. Because of its design, the cobalt got picked up by the wind currents and spreads around the world. 5 years later, there was an increase in cancer, deformities, and superpowers.

Superpowers are the cause of the Cobalt bomb five years later. There are many powers and about ten percent of the world's population has them. They tend to develop either after or during a battle with cancer or during puberty. But not always. The categories for superpowers are Paragon, Telekinesis, Artificer, Medic, Generator, Psisense, Accelerator, Sorcery, and Erratic.

A super is an individual with superpowers or a superpower. About half of regulars (non-supers) are afraid or even hate supers despite being the 10% of the world.

Mutants are supers who are born with their powers. They tend to have a deformity or deformities such as a tail, cyclops, different physiology, etc. They range from grotesque to ethereally gorgeous. They are genetically less human and treated as such by certain groups and factions. A sweeping majority of mutants have superpowers and often more powers than supers and more powerful powers. They only represent 1% of the world. Survivors that were infected with the Ghoul virus but then cured became mutants.

Meta is a word to describe both mutants and supers.

Tags are used to label what category, class, and rank you have. Examples Paragon, class B or P:B. Artificer, class C, rank 2 or A:C2

Classes are the classification of how much strength a superpower has. The common ones are E-A (E being the weakest and A being the strongest) though there are some heroes and villains who have above that and are classified as S. By no means that these Supers are the strongest in the world in terms of deadliness.

Ranks are the number beside class letter, they classify how much control a super has over their superpower. The common ones are 6 through 1 (6 being the least control and 1 being the most control). Now just like the letter S in classes they have something similar is the number 0.

Sub-category are categories in which are represented by an uncapitalized letter. For example, is you’re a Medic class B rank 1 and you have the sub-category Doctor. Then it will be represented by the code MdB1. Another example of a subcategory tag would be Telekinesis, plasma, class A, rank 4 or in tag proper: Tp:A4

Artificer is a superpower in which the user has the knowledge to create and understand crafts/technology. “They just know how to invent.” Often Artificer has a specific craft (culinary, mechanics, etc.). An uncommon power. 'A' is the tag

Telekinetic abilities are something like an extra invisible shapeless limb. They can control certain things depending on the state of the matter; Solid, liquid, gas, plasma, and sometimes even photons like the Superhero: Sunflower. There are certain ranks and classes of control and strength. Telekinesis tends to be tied in with generator, but not always. This super power is rare. 'T' is the tag

Paragon, the most common superpower. Someone with paragon is above the epitome of human intelligence, strength, healing, etc. The super’s body changes to what their subconscious view of human perfection is. Paragon healing and Medic healing are two completely different powers. Paragon healing tends to be weaker. There are no ranks in paragon. 'P' is the tag

Medic is the healing category. There are two types of healing, Doctor and Patient. Doctors can only heal others and Patients can only themselves. Though a medic can have both. While Patient is an uncommon sub-category. Doctor is a legendary sub-category and tend to be treated almost as gods. 'M' is the tag

Generator is the category to create something depending on the state of matter, Solid, liquid, gas, plasma. Photons are also part of generating. Generating tends to be tied into with telekinesis, but not always. This is a rare power. 'G' is the tag

Accelerator is the category in which a human can move fast than a regular. There are two sub-categories for this: Aviator and speedster. Aviators can fly and speedsters can run at super speeds. Telekinetics can also do something similar to Aviators, but at a slower and less controlled rate depending on the class of the telekinetic. Paragons can do something similar to speedsters, but way slower. This is a more common category. 'AC' is the tag

Sorcery is less of a superpower and more of a learned talent. Sorcery has been around for thousands of years and there are so many versions of it. However, it becomes a category because certain supers manifest an innate magic and able to learn magic easier than regular mages. Sorcery very rarely coincides with paragon. It is also the second most common category. Similar to paragon, when the individual manifests they change into their subconscious form of a mage, wizard, witch, supernatural humanoid creature, etc. However, the individual cannot exceed their current age. They can regress though. 'S' is the tag

Psisense involves having more than five senses. There is a multitude of powers within it. There are three sub-categories: Past, future, and present. Powers like telepathy and empathy are categorized as present. Powers like Psychometry are past. Powers like precognition is future. Present Psisenses are way more common than past and future; however, they vary depending on the power. 'Psi' is the tag

Erratic is every other superpower that can’t be categorized in the other categories. Time-warping for example or controlling/creating atomic energy. Basically, anything that isn’t in the other categories. Depending on the power. 'E' is the tag
