400 years ago the world was in complete chaos with murders, rapists, and criminals managing the streets at night. With the government on the verge of being overrun due to the lack of help they were able to provide for the people, they finally developed a 100 percent full proof plan that would separate the holy people from the evil. They made a thing called the iris. This was a system where when you reached a certain age you would be injected with a jelly like substance that would change your eyes based on your intentions in life. First there were the gifted which were people given dull blue cat-like eyes. This means you have the intention of no life threatening harm unless justified by the law and now can't possibly have any other. Second was the cursed. This was when you were given vibrant purple eyes with a star in the middle. This means you have murderous intent and aren't able to be modified to change that.Finally there was one more, fully blacked out eyes. This was for the people who haven't reached the required age of injection. To separate the good from the bad they made an indestructible bubble that would fit millions of people, only allowing the gifted in. The cursed would be justified and killed if they were caught in the bubble or attempted trying to get in the bubble. This would be indefinite peace and would last forever. Or so was told.
