"The first and most oppressive lie ever uttered was the song of freedom"
In the current day and age of the world, less than 1% of the world was granted powers from a mysterious event occurring millennia ago. With these newfound powers came a new age of freedom, or so that's what everyone believes. There are dozens of non-special organizations across the globe with an outward appearance of being good companies for the better of humanity secretly hoping to acquire these beings and use them for their own sick and twisted experiments. They wish to oppress the meta humans using their developments in tech among other nefarious things, believe humans without power are superior. One such group is "Specter", operating out of Tokyo Japan, truth be told, this group might be among the most powerful in the world, dominating the crime scene with their advancements in tech-magic.
Aries Allred, a 19 year old in his freshman year of college, moved to Tokyo, he was born in Ireland to a Japanese mother and an Irish father. On the outside he appears to be an apathetic and exhausted person, but inside lies something far darker. Will he be able to face Specter as he gets closer and closer to the truth about their nefarious plans? Or will he succumb to them and become their next pawn.

Zodiac Signs: Thirteen
Zodiac High is a special school funded by the government. While most schools focus on academic and physical aspects of children this school focuses on a more basic aspect within everyone. Character and personality. Character is built through having life experiences and learning from them. Personality is what is born from the choices that people make. These personalities can be put into 12 categories. Ranging from the happy-go-lucky Gemini to the all-too-honest Capricorn. The enigmatic Scorpio or dreamer Pisces. So many personalities to choose from making it difficult to know which one is the right for you. So how do you know which personality fits with who you are as a person? That's why an entrance exam was designed for those who are uncertain. The personality that you sync with at the highest percentage is the one that you will enroll as. That's basically why my mother enrolled me as a student here. She had said something along the lines of "If you continue living as you do now, you won't be able to fit in with society" or something like that, I'm not really sure. I just remember feeling unnaturally indifferent about it. That's also why I answered as honestly as possible to see if one of the zodiac personality categories fits with me. This meant that I should have been excluded, right? That I don't "fit in with society". That should have been the case at least. So can someone please explain to me why I'm compatible with all of the personalities? How am I going to make sense of that? Now I have to interview someone from all of the different categories, just to know which personality I will enroll as. Great. Just great.Complete
