Adversus is our planet and it's dying. Why? We're killing it. We live and we die underground in concrete bunkers made to protect us from the radiation levels of the outside. Everyday we get up at 6:00am and we work till 6:00pm; well Blues' do anyway. Blues' you may ask? Well on Adversus we are 'ranked' or 'classified' by our skin colour. The highest colour is White, then Green, Purple, Red, Orange and finally Blue. You are born a colour, and you are put into a family of the same colour. But on our 16th birthdays we are reassessed, to see if our colour has changed. Changing colours is rare but it has happened. Most likely it will be in your colour you have just changed a shade. The motto carved on the wall above the entrance to the reassessment room is: Altius adhuc vita color, color minus casus inferioribus. The motto is in Latin but every Veetian knows what it means: higher color longer life, lower colour less chances.

To live on. One day though...one day....I'll take it all back.
