One day, random normal people over the age of 18 woke up with powers.
Powers that were supernatural, and impressed young children, and the higher up politicians.
At first, these magical supernaturals were executed on spot, thinking that it was some deformity. But they evolved. Quicker than the people realized.
Super healing, as well as enhanced senses, and a variety of powers that sprung into them.
Due to the rapid increase of these people, the UN decided to ship these strange people over 18 to a far abandoned city where they couldn't harm the common person.
It did sound better than a public execution.
In order to save face, they didn't place the two genders together. Males in one place, women in one.
After shipping these men and women to a high toxic environment, they soon realized none of them were poisoned nor phased.
Oh well, they weren't interfering with normal society. Let them be.
For now...
It would only be time until they started killing each other.

Title Story Plot Rules Positions Locations FAQ&Codes Announcements
The Top leader - Taken The Top leader is a mysterious one. No one knows much about him. Everyone fears him. He is the strongest, and the most feared leader. Many either refer him to God or Satan. Either way, he is seen as a deity that could free them or ruin the city. Little to people know, he's among the commoners as a "nobody". The other leaders recognize him but don't give him away. He doesn't do jack s**t and lazes about.
The North leader - Taken The North leader rules over the forests and the mysterious area that no one really ventures to. However, he has a hotel in the main core of the city where goods can be bartered for. He also dishes out punishments and won't hesitate to kill someone if they break rules. He is in charge of barter, trades and such. Of course, he isn't seen around his own hotel. However, the other leaders keep him updated.
The West leader - Taken The West leader rules over the West sector of the city. It's the place where people would come in, as well as supplies. He were to tell the new men about the land and make sure the rules were enforced. His morals and ethics are questionable. He works with the North leader to see what can be sold, and what stays for the leaders to enjoy exclusively. He is in charge of introducing the men to the place, escorting them to the center of the city, and leaving them there. He also answers their questions.... Sort of.... yeah.... maybe.... nah....
The South leader - Taken The South leader runs the drug center. He was the top mafia boss that dealt everything bad and ugly from drugs, to alcohol, to poisons. It wasn't like killing was a crime. Just don't steal and hoard resources, or what was left of them. He is ruthless and has thought of taking over and killing the rest of the leaders to become the top king. He cares a lot for the East leader for his undying morals. Aside from the top leader, the South leader has the most profit and luxuries. He doesn't actually live in the south part, but he's known to do his dealings in the south part of town, hence the "South Leader" thing,
The East leader - Taken The East leader ruled over the East area. He is kinder than most and lives in the church. He makes sure rules are followed, and he desires peace unlike most. He cares for nature, but he isn't someone to be trifled with. He doesn't appreciate the corruption and other leader's actions, but what can he do? Do the best and be the most moral person he can be.
Citizens - Come on guys I'm giving you lots of freedom with these roles so join O x O
The Bloody Guardian - Taken The bloody guardian has sworn on his own life to protect others by any means he can. He isn't particularly loyal to anyone neither does he hold any grudges or contempt for any of the occupants of Shard. He does not enjoy killing but he will without in remorse if he see's someone in trouble or if he is inn a desperate position. When he does kill it is not a pretty sight to behold.
The Noble Security - Taken The noble security keeps solely to himself, waging against the risks of the outside, protecting the Northern regions and relishing in what time he does have left. He will draw up his weapons and fight all those who wish to oppose the mighty North.
The Private Doctor - Taken The private doctor lived in the North but figured that he would be of more use in the South so he reluctantly moved. Now in the South he uses his powers all day helping those who were unlucky enough to get in to those who like to fights cross fire. He's a loud sarcastic man with powers that help people. Just no one knows exactly what they are..
The Roguish Right-Hand-Man - Reserved The roguish right-hand-man has always been a wanderer, never staying in one place too long. He normally lives out in the open areas of the city, where he could fully appreciate his freedom. Sneaking around and eavesdropping is his specialty, which is enhanced even more by his powers. As North's right-hand-man, he tries to help give the leader a leg-up from the rest of them.
The South's Loyal Pet - Reserved The south's loyal pet follows right behind his leader wherever he goes and accepts any given task to complete at the best of his ability. Being a leader's pet doesn't refrain him from speaking out his mind every now and then as a way of testing his boundaries or his superior's dominance. He prefers the higher class over the lower class and won't bother acknowledged their existence.

Main city square Center of the city. It's all overgrown, but that doesn't mean the place isn't functional. A great place to hang out, meet new people, and gamble.
Park Found around the center of the city. Well, it's park like, more like a riverine. Either way, it's a great way to relax and let loose.
Hotel The main place where bartering happens. North leader owns it but no one sees him around much. Clothes, food, bottled water, and low quality booze and cigarettes can be found here. There are also spaces to be rented out to sleep or you could sleep on the foyer.
West city This part of the city is more techno scifi like place. Here is where the abandoned radioactive core is and also where most of the city maintenance happens. But with the supernatural abilities, working the city is simple. There are not much overgrown plants here as it's been pulled away. Also the only place with electricity and it's EXPENSIVE to live here.
Factory Found at the edge of the west of the city. Here, there is less overgrown plants. The factory is also the place where supplies get dropped off, since the government doesn't want to kill off the outcasts, but keep them alive, and away from normal civilization.
Storage center Where s**t gets stored. Only the leaders have access to this section.
East city The "forest" of the city. Nah, it's not but it has significantly much more plants. And water. And more plants. A great place to live if you love nature.
Church Found in the east city since plants. It's a stunning place to relax. Here, the East leader lives and will offer health care services and guidance. As well, confessions, and other holy religious things take place if requested. It's also a safe place to talk, rest, and even grab some water and free food. The well is owned by the East Leader.
The station Found at the edge of east city. Doesn't really serve a purpose.
South city The wasteland of the city. It looks like heaps and heaps of junk. Literally. Somehow, it doesn't have a repulsive smell, but there is a really bad aura surrounding the place, and no one bothers to go in. As well, death matches take place here as well as drug dealing, but the South leader doesn't make them go in too far.
South coasts Venture in far enough, there is a coastal shore where you can reach the edge of the city. Almost like a beach, but no one really goes far enough to know about the place. The leaders do know of this place, and once in a while, they all come out here to hang out, and talk about future plans as well as any important matter.
Northern Forests North of the city center is the forest. Mystical things are said to lie there. The North leader is said to live in one of the caverns. Wild animals roam here, and the North leader makes sure no one over hunts the deformed animals around here.
Special hidden waterfall and Special hidden lakes Far up in the forested north, there are waterfalls. They say those bodies of water have healing powers or something that purifies the body. No one really knows. There are also rumors that the waters can kill you.
Secret clearing in forest Like most places no one knows about, the leaders are aware of this place. They say coming out here helps regain sanity. Some even say that is where the East leader goes to retain his kindness and sanity.
Plains outside the city Also known as the outskirts. Dangerous animals roam the outskirts and this is where new citizens are shipped in. They come on a bus, and then on a boat and into the factory. There, they decide what to do after talking with the West leader.

Not high at all. It's back to the old school s**t.... whatever they used..... Only the leaders hold cellphones and I mean the old nasty flip phones.
Guns...?
No guns. Although there are rumors that there are stashes of guns in the storage. Will be used for future purposes.
Can we have pets?
Sure. BUT. There aren't going to be adorable puppies and kittens running around. If your character can tame an animal, it's theirs to keep. But keep in mind, due to the toxins and the radioactivity, most animals are very ugly and deformed.
Time and Date?
The Top leader knows what the day and time is. He updates the other leaders who then lets others know. Plus their cellphones have the time. As well, watches can be bought. A high end watch with date and time will be ridiculously unaffordable.
I want to be a leader
PM me. We can talk. I'm very open to ideas.
What is the main spoken language?
English. Doesn't matter where you're from. I'm not confident in typing other languages ;3
Where is Shards geographically?
The ******** I'd know? I'm kidding that doesn't matter. Just know that you won't be escaping any time soon.
What came before the Shards?
Well, these Parasites were shot publically if there was live footage of their powers. Exactly 77 people around the world were shot and killed before they decided on deporting them. After that, many people opened up and were sent away in fear of being killed. Every day, new people wake up with powers, but the number has drastically decreased.
What are the Parasites default abilities?
Stronger than most. They aren't affected by normal poison. Cancer doesn't work on them. They can heal quickly, but can still be damaged. A broken arm may take a week to heal without proper treatment. A cut may take a few hours to heal unless you're like specialized healer
I can't think of any powers...
This will help. As well, don't forget sparkling in sunlight is an ability. It doesn't even have to be useful.
I want a seke!! Not seme or uke!! O x O
Well, I do get in most real relationships, no one is really one position. And at the same time, this is shards. You're either seme or seke. But the thing is, I want to see a ratio, to make sure no ukes are flocking around, and to keep the balance. With that being said, don't be afraid to deviate from your position. It's just for ratio purposes.
Which leader is the most powerful?
Depends. In regards to manpower, most likely South, since he's a drug dealer and almost mafia. East however, has the basic necessities, and he is powerful in his own way. From the most popular to the least popular; South, East, West, North. Of course, this is typically.
So once you're 18, you're a parasite?
No. no. No. They appear randomly in any age ABOVE 18.
For a parasite -at least a male one-, why should I go to Shards?
Because it's that or public execution. Because hey, free country. People won't force you to do jack s**t. Especially when they want to kill you.
What types of foods can you get in Shards?
Well, the main and most popular foods are rations. What are rations? If you ever been in the military or kid military or cadets, you ******** know what I'm talking about. That's right. Those shitty military packet food. Those nasty s**t is shipped over since really no one wants them and most of them tastes like absolute s**t. There are breakfast packets, and normal packets. Each packet has a main meal, side dish, bread/cracker, jam/peanut butter, two drink crystal packets -one hot chocolate packet- and one juice. On top of that, there is a small dessert. And these portions are SMALL.
And they don't taste very good either. Like I'm not even kidding you can ask me how they tasted like... s**t. Unless you got a good dessert and drink crystals.
As well, there are tiny single instant packets for coffee, tea, sugar, instant milk/creamer, among other stuff. Canned foods are known as delicacies that leaders get to have unless West feels nice. Cakes and small packeted goodies are also high in demand. It's also a popular snack to eat.
Then there is the deformed food that are grown. Nasty looking, little ******** that doesn't deserve to be called vegetables and fruits.
How much food is there? Any shortages?
There isn't much food. Well, there is enough if each person got two packets a day. Typically you'd make portions but who ******** does that? The church is almost like a food bank. Show up at the right time and get food. However his supplies are limited. Most of the time you'd trade and barter to get enough food since some may not eat certain things in the rations.
