Obsidian

Those who are recruited by Obsidian are those who have nothing left to lose. Some have been scraped off the streets, others taken off death row - whatever the means by which they were discovered, they all possess vital traits that make them suitable candidates to become living weapons: they are young, they are desperate, and they are malleable in both body and spirit.

Though Obsidian, outwardly, is a well-known and reputable American defense contractor specializing in cutting edge weapons manufacturing, they harbor dark secrets and a cutthroat ambition. They have developed a series of treatments, both chemical and psychological, that can turn an ordinary human into a high-powered mercenary. The treatments have different affects on different subjects, often exaggerating existing skills and traits. For others, strange new abilities arise.

However, the treatments are far from perfected, and 9/10 subjects do not survive. Those who do survive are far from lucky. They must learn to manage their newly manifested powers and the side affects of the treatments. They also have to come to terms with what Obsidian has planned for them.

This is the story of one subject who is thrown into the mysterious and deadly world of Obsidian. Surviving the treatments is the easiest part. She must come to terms with what she's become and what she will be forced to do. She also must learn how to work with the other subjects - even one who seems as if he's willing to put them all in danger to free himself from Obsidian. Will these challenges make her stronger or destroy her?
