Hero's are things of the past, now that nuclear war has broken out in almost every part of the world. All of america had become a toxic wasteland, full of mutations of animals and bacteria that used to be something else. The thing is, humankind was also affected by the waves of nuclear energy released by the bombs. Certain humans' bodies reacted to the energy in odd ways, giving them an affinity to certain elements, or just giving them incredible abilities.. Though the normal humans were already afraid of the attacks from other places, they grew to fear the Mutant Humans even more than their original attackers. The new ruling order in America had become the Churches founded by priests who preached to the normal humans, telling them that the Mutant Humans were actually just sent from hell in order to get rid of humanity.. The Churches lied to the citizens, and the citizens believed them. Countless innocent Mutant Humans were burned at the stake, fed to Mutant beasts, and killed in various other ways. The Churches had their own array of Mutant Humans in which they called the "Blessed Knights", these knights helped in tracking down other Mutant Humans.... The world was in ruins, the only way for Mutant Humans to survive was become a Churches dog and hunt their own kind as a Blessed Knight, or sneak through the shadows and try to live peacefully.
