imPURITY

The sound of screams can be heard for miles. The blast from the explosion still reverberates within. The looming cloud of toxic gas floods the sky, casting large, wispy shadows of death all around.

Monsters. They have been unleashed on the town. All hope of humanity and salvation is lost. No one can save those who are not able to be saved. Doomed and damned, the world falls into its darkest hour. Riot forces and the government's finest drawn forth machines of great power to quell the rebellious, but even their bullets are not enough to stop these ungodly mutants from ripping down anyone that stands before them.

That time has long since past. Things are under control now. The government has moved back into a dictatorship-like era, but it's acceptable due to the toughness of times. People still have rights, but they know that their are eyes everywhere, reporting what's happening within the walls of the city.

Sanctum. That's the place people live now. Anyone outside the walls of Sanctum are considered a threat, a danger. Why? For their blood has yet to be cleansed. Since the great explosion known as "The Rebirth," people have been forced to undergo a series of tests to ensure that humanity is now stomped out by an infectious disease of sorts.

Recall, that years ago - about two hundred - the world was ghosted by an explosion so toxic that it transformed humans within a second. Once hit by the radiation, these people succumbed to nothing more than monstrous ghouls and mutants. Some had powers, such as flight, fire, or immortality while others gained superhuman strength and uncanny characteristics like tails and ears.

Although the government put a lid on things, everyone knows that the mutants of the past still exist outside the walls of the Sanctum. To make matters worse, Sanctum is on the brink of a civil war, which will cause much destruction within the city's walls. People fear that the side of injustice will turn to these mutants, employing them as "weapons of mass destruction." Doing as such is deemed punishable by death. But, who's to stop them? Most of the government's forces are busy trying to eradicate streetlights and monster breeches.

There's a rumor that drifts around the back alleyways of Sanctum that states that "On the far side of the land lays another nation whose might and will can crush impurities not from this world." Although no one has the guts to trek across wild land, people know the journey must be made.
