A long time ago, there was peace. Then, war broke out. Germany, still harboring wounds from World War Two, struck out, first against Britain and America, then, Holland, Russia, and Hungary. A few crazed German scientists thought to create a super weapon-- the largest atomic bomb ever created. On June 6, 2230, Germany dropped the bomb on Denver, Colorado. Radiation spread around the globe, forcing the world to surrender. Billions died, the radiation poisoning proving too much for their immune systems. Those who did survive began to show strange mutations, and were quickly captured by German soldiers occupying the streets. They were taken into laboratories, experimented on, and then released back into America, put into the small-town-turned-prison of Vermillion, South Dakota.
Now, sixty years later, the mutations of the prisoners are much more evolved. The people look normal enough, but have incredible powers. All of them age from thirteen, when the changes start to develop, to thirty, when they die. The longest one of them has ever lived was thirty-two. Something about having these powers takes quite a toll on them. They never know when they're going to die. One day, they're alive and kicking, the next, stone-cold.
This is the Darkness.
