3252 AE. It's been 1,202 years since the downfall of humanity in 2050, since 'The Bane' as it was once called. Humans destroyed themselves, bringing along with the rest of the planet with them. Since then, living beings have been almost obliterated and returned. Most creatures have mutated, evolved to survive the new near wasteland planet, and humans are no exception.
The majority of humanity now lives within four main cities, protected by the N.H.A. (New Hope Alliance). Districts Kairos, Astraea, Daljihi and Ona, named after founders of the N.H.A.. Each district has a purpose, and without one, the remaining people would be put in danger.
When a child is born inside the districts, it's put through a series of tests once they turn seven. They are sorted into three groups. Those who pass, are deemed A, 'animus' and shipped away. The ones who fail, are sent back home as either N, 'normals,' or W 'workers.'
Outside the protected sanctuaries, are still groups of bandits, towns built by thieves and packs of unnamed parties. Not everyone agrees with the ways of the N.H.A., but the Alliance, won't stand for rebellions and will stop at nothing, to claim the children born as 'A's. Why? And what happens to the 'A's that are born away from humanity, hidden from the new world's government?
