- Intro -
A distorted transmission plays on the large screen in front of you. A hooded man in a black robe speaks of caution and dread. In the background a blood trail leads into a mysterious corridor to his left. An explosion is followed by gunfire and the agonizing screams of combatants.
"It all started with a dream. A mission to craft the future by learning from the past. We hoped to save humanity from its inevitable extinction by advancing its mental capacity."
The image shook several times.
"We achieved that dream...But we were not yet ready for what it meant for the rest of us."
The hooded man looked downward for several seconds before regarding composure. His eyes were filled with regret.
"We did the impossible. We went from mere men to glorious gods! Yet...everything comes at a price. The original SASs were too strong for anyone to control. They nearly destroyed the minds of our volunteers, making them into ruthless savages. But Adam...poor poor Adam. He was a good man. I believe he can still be saved."
A monster throws a soldier into the wall, blood splatters on his impact.
"I'm sorry for what I have done. A creation is only as flawed as its creator. We were fools to play God."
The transmission ends...

- Clans/Alliances -
+Sage Federation: Advanced soldiers that protect the Savants' interests and do their bidding. They are well known to be ruthless with carrying out orders. Some have modified SASs implanted to give them a higher chance of survival versus the Flawed.
+The Flawed: The first subjects of the SAS experiment. Unknown factor caused them to devolve mentally. Their goal is simply to cause havoc.
+Paladins: Specialized warriors of the Luminous Order that hunt Malforms and the Flawed and have some history with facing against SF soldiers. They aim to cleanse the world of all SAS users...no matter their alignment.
+The Specters: Time-Line Exclusive
A mercenary group of defected SF soldiers that have learned the truth behind Adam Nemesis and the events of The Last Day. They now serve their own interests. [They are currently inactive until the truth is learned.]

- Terminology -
-Spatial Adjustment System (SAS): A series of devices that focus brain waves to influence the physical plane. It is composed of multiple implants throughout the body with the central controller placed at the base of the skull and connected to the subject's nervous system. This revolutionary tool allows spatial distortion via neural activity by altering the fundamental interactions of nature within a limited area space.
However this system is limited to only certain telekinetic abilities, keeping those with one on a short lease.
-The Savants: Originally a group of 42 scholars. They are notoriously known as the studiers of neural activity and revolutionaries in technology's applications in the advancement of human brain function. With the SAS, they hoped to create a perfect world with humanity in control of their fate. After years of being demonized by the Luminous Order, only 3 are left. The rest were murdered and assassinated.
-The Luminous Order: Religious order that opposes the Savants. Claims that SAS users are "sinners playing around in God's domain".
-Adam Nemesis: Subject 0 and strongest of the Flawed. Has retained much of his intelligence. Perhaps, is even smarter than before.
-Malforms: Mindless and disfigured minions created by the Flawed to be their disposable army. They are slaves collected from space colonies and mutated by dark energy exposure by Adam.
