PLOT[/color][/font]
In the year 1990, the President of the United States of America ordered what Biologists at the time deemed impossible: a sort of extreme biological weapon.
But something went wrong.
The organism was more unstable than its creators could ever imagine. It escaped, in the year 1999 - a prototype, untested, and dangerous. Its effects were instant. Americans were dying at an alarming rate and a worldwide epidemic followed - but there were survivors. Some were simply human, who were lucky enough to avoid the plague...others were so much more. A mutant strain in humans, millions of years old, had reacted with the disease differently - very differently. People developed powers, unbelievable powers. Real-life superheroes. They became the epitome of a deplenished society.
Now, in the year 2015, we take the scene to the metropolis that is London, England. The human population has begun to increase again, but so have the superpowered subspecies: this has given rise to a modern tale of heroes and villains. Heroes remain vigilant, assuming secret identities in order to keep their past lives and families safe. Villains do the same, but for a different, darker reason. And in the midst of this, the Westminster College has been transformed into the Westminster Academy for Heroic Arts. You heard it. Hero school.
As time moves on and superhumans settle comfortably into their commanding roles, some humans just don't feel at home with the fact their lives are in the hands of freaks. These men and women have come from the top of military and scientific fields; using their skill and intelligence to confuse and bewilder even the villains. They are HASE; Humans Against Superhuman Empowerment, and they will stop at nothing to eliminate the mutant gene...which means zero-ing in on the heroes in training at the Academy.

SIDES[/color][/font]
THE ROYAL FLUSH; a team of six superhumans. They are considered the 'elite' amongst heroes, villains, and civilians.
THE VISIONARIES are a minor hero team of four, but an effective one - rumour has it that these guys are serving the Queen personally.
THE SUICIDE KINGS; a group of six superhuman anarchist villains: brash but immensely skilled, aiming to cause as much destruction as possible.
THE SPITFIRES; a branch-off group from the Suicide Kings: they are four monsters in their own right.
THE ROGUES; undecided, they assume no side but their own.
HASE; the brutal humans, fighting tactically to run superhumans to extinction.
