The Insignia;;
On the inside of the wrists of a rare few rests a birthmark called an insignia. Usually the insignia's resemble Japanese characters that represent the ability or the person marked. Some of the time, the person chooses to take the Japanese word they are marked with as their name. In times of trouble or when the marked's abilities are being active, the insignias will glow, almost burn, in a color unique to the insignia, usually an icy blue or red.
The Ability;;
Some may categorize these as 'magic powers', odd mutations, supernatural talents, ect. The marked's ability(s) are usually specified by their insignia or related to what their insignia represents. The marked's abilities vary from Telepathy to shape shifting, to conjuring, to becoming//being a mythical creature/species despite being born human. Limitations vary by the individual's ability.
The Marked;;
The marked are not related and are not specific to any one gender or race. The marked usually have no history of another marked in their immediate ancestry. It's usually a very random occurrence, the cause yet to be known. Individuals are marked from birth and usually start to show awareness and/or control of their abilities by the age of 5. Usually, marked children are drawn to each other and grow up together in groups of 2-8. Marked children tend to be secretive about their abilities so usually only other markeds are aware of their abilities.
The Setting;;
Athena Academy for the Alternatively Gifted . See a map here.
((Imagine any of the usual boarding school cliche's, plus kids with odd abilities and a slightly Greek-goddess-like influence.))
THE HIVE;;
Run by an evil-minded pair of siblings, the Hive is a diabolical secret rebellion run out of a secret course of tunnels beneath the school. The Hive plots against all unmarked humans and the Marked who stand with them. Few outside the Hive know anything of their existence, making it hard for anyone to do anything about them- but word is spreading.
THE ELEMENTS;;
Sun, Moon, Earth, Air, and Spirit. An ancient prophesy come true. As war is raged against the unmarked, the personifications of light and fire, dark and water, invisible air, powerful earth, and the messengers of spirit must realize their destiny and gain control of their powers to save the world- before they destroy it.
When war be raged
and hope be gone;
When life is a stage-
Who will last long?
