One of Us, One of Them: Chapter One - Genesis

[Khina Bree]

First topic message reminder :

The sun rises on a new dawn, yet few of us realize the debt we owe to those responsible for this, to those who dwell among us, anonymous, seemingly ordinary, who destiny brought together to repair, to heal, to save us from ourselves, and they're still out there among us, in the shadows, in the light, we pass them on the street without a glance, never suspecting, never knowing. Do they even know yet? That they are bound together by a common purpose? A glaring reality, to be extraordinary, and when destiny does anoint them, how do they hide from it? How long can they dwell in the shadows before either fate or their own flawed humanity draws them out into the light again? And how will they know what awaits them when it does?

29 February 2016

The anniversary of the Solar Storm of 88, commonly called "Genesis Storm" by many of the public. All across the world, many are celebrating Genesis Storm with exploding sun t-shirts, key-chains, bracelets, and just about anything else they can slap the imagery on. It's even worse in the larger cities like New York, London, Tokyo, Paris, and even Berlin.

News anchors are covering the story of the Genesis Storm, as they do each Leap Day. They retell the story of February of 1988 when the storm came from apparently nowhere and struck the Earth's atmosphere with enough force and energy to cause a global blackout for seven hours. In those seven hours, a reported two-hundred thousand people worldwide disappeared. Vanished without a trace. Leap Day, as of this year, is officially being renamed "Genesis Day" and is a day to remember the ones we lost and thank our stars that we remain.

============================================

"One of Us, One of Them" officially begins. Each of you may begin posting here (in this thread for now) about your characters and their daily life as of now. Once I am able, there will be a few threads made for each location and the story shall go from there.

For each of you, remember that the majority of the world does not know about your abilities. None of you know that there are others like you, only rumors of people with superhuman powers (but those rumors have always been around).
