In the world of Caliron, how you live life is determined by your birth.
Born weak, live in poverty.
Born mediocre, live a life as a noble in comfort.
Born strong, live and die in an Institute.
Your strength is determined by your Oubig, or Ability, and the drawback of using it.
Some can run faster than light, but tire easily.
Some can cause grand scale illusions, but are hunted by twisted versions of what they create in their dreams.
Others can hear when someone lies in their head. Constantly, to the point of torture.
Others can only lift small objects, and fall ill after too long.
Where you fall on the strength spectrum is decided by the Calirola, a group of ten people that act as a government.
It's a dangerous world to live in for everyone, especially those who resist the natural order of things.
