Calamity

Prologue

Monsters. Creatures. Beings that thrived in darkness and plagued the cities. Except...not everybody could see them. Most everyone has felt the effect of one of these monsters. Something falling over without any reason. Items in closets somehow returning torn up. Or, if you were especially unlucky, you could get attacked by one. An invisible creature.

On the plus side, not everyone was blind to these creatures. The Specialized Combat Regiment was specifically created to combat these monsters of darkness. They take in people with a special power, any special power will do, from something as powerful as freezing time to something as simple as strengthened skin. That skill, plus a little bit of training, was what allowed people to see these horrid creatures. This isn't to say that there aren't anomalies. Some people with powers can see these monsters without any training. And it's up to them, do they pursue a career where they confront and fight these monsters who've been plaguing them all their life? Or ignore it and attempt a nuclear life?

To the citizens, the members of the SCR were people similar to superheroes. They had special powers like a superhero, and they fought the monsters who lived in the dark. They were a tangible part of the government. They were people who helped save an everyday, normal citizen.
