And yet...
6,840,507,003 people, roughly the world's population, had vanished over night. Not died. There was no huge battle for the souls of the masses. No corps left to signify that there had been so many people. No zombies, no asteroid, no aliens, nothing. Only the buildings remained and all life vanished.
And somehow, you are still here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It had been a glitch in the system that had caused this. The artificial beings that were called humans were very few in number, not that they knew such. They were kept in the Box, a high-tech simulator. The four were raised from infancy very carefully. They were supposed to die in there, never learning of the truth. Unfortunately this changed everything.
The idea was to create a new race, similar to our own, but without powers. There were many reasons for this. Mainly though, we hoped to delude the seemingly ever growing powers of our own people. It sounds strange doesn't it? That we would hope to cripple our own strengths. It was tragic, but our powers would only lead to our demise. With each generation the powers grew and it had almost become a race. Families struggled to find others of power, secure an heir who would be stronger than all others, and the final goal was to rule the world. Of course no one openly spoke of such, but it was obviously happening. Which is why the Box was constructed, why the humans were made.
Unfortunately with this glitch, we can't continue testing the humans within the Box. We have no clue how they'll react to their entire world being a lie. Worse yet, we have no way of knowing how they will genetically react to us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So this is where we, the humans, begin. Our world is empty and a strange voice calls us as if through a PA system to meet with each-other...
Human 1 - Zeth Trigger - 21 - American - Male (Miikii)
Human 2 -
Human 3 -
Human 4 -
Crete (Our creators)
Crete 1 - the one charged with observing the humans, s/he isn't particularly powerful. Is also trying to guide them out of the Box.
Crete 2 - Random member of Crete society (SlightlyInsane)
Crete 3 - Head of one of the stronger houses of power. Seeking a proper mate to strengthen his/her own powers against the other houses.
Crete 4 - Member of one of the stronger houses of power. Seeking a proper mate to strengthen his/her own powers against the other houses.
Crete 5 - Member of one of the stronger houses of power. Seeking a proper mate to strengthen his/her own powers against the other houses.
Things to note:
Crete 3, 4, and 5 are not from the same house.
Humans are artificial, genetically engineered beings.
We look normal.
We have no powers.
>yet< Due to our genetic similarities, but lack of the key structure of the Crete's own genetics that give them a single stable power, humans can mimic the Crete's power or amplify it. The humans will have to learn how on their own however, and will not be proficient to start.
The race that created us, look a lot like us. The exceptions being:
1. Powers, which are passed down through DNA, vary from person to person and are slightly unpredictable when mixed. A power can be anything from heightened senses to elemental control, flight and more. But each Crete only posses 1.
2. Odd coloration. Be it their skin tone, eye color, hair color, or something else. This appearance is strangely not genetic and changes greatly even from parent to child.
