A Stand Apart: Signup | OOC

The time of the clans has long passed. All that remains is the single clan that encompasses what remains of a once thriving era. Entire clan names have diluted down to mere bloodlines. A history of slowly disappearing groups of people.

While clans were once marked by their abilities, it is now only rarely seen within the bloodlines. Only a handful can boast of their awakened abilities, and do it well within Village grounds. There are so few of them that they, by default, form part of and train for the village Guard.

In the current era, the Clan Village is home to the bloodlines. To the outside world it is a relic, resistant to change nay incapable of it. It resists technology by nature. A tourist might find their devices glitching as they approach the territory and nonfunctioning at all once they stand at the entrance. A Village native might travel to a city and find the arcade machine suddenly out of order after playing a quick game. The Village may not have changed as much as the outside world over the centuries, but it has been influenced and shaped by it to some extent.

As wars settled and peacekeeping agreements were made, Government and Clan currently hold an accord that allows clansmen permits to leave the village and live in modern societies. Certain conditions must be met - monthly checkups, record keeping etc. - that nowadays are mere paperwork, however they were once based on the danger of having a clansmen with supernatural powers living in peaceful cities. Another condition, though more sensible presently than the last, is to have clansmen living a distance away from each other when outside the village. The purpose is to avoid as much technological disruptions as possible.

In recent years however, there have been rumors through the grapevine of a group of individuals actively opposing this agreement through secret but violent means. By some unknown method, they have been forcing awake abilities among the clansmen. Already people watch the news with fear that the next victim might appear in their area, that they too might lose control and hurt those around them. Already people fear that clanswoman neighbor with whom they used to be so friendly.

Tension rises, the Government sense the danger and the Clan feels the threat. In response the Clan has called back every clansmen outside the Village. Clan leaders want to control the situation by quarantine, facilitating their efforts to find out who is responsible for these attacks. People within the Village too are afraid, they do not know how abilities are being forced and therefore have no idea how to prevent themselves from falling victim. Rumors comfort some, letting them know trial and error follows success as the culprit group continue their mysterious plans.
