Seeds, Blooms, and Weeds​

Seeds are seed-like growths that are found within humans at birth. They can grow anywhere inside the body, but the most common spot is the wrist. Some people are born with multiple seeds, this is extremely rare, but it does happen (one in one-hundred-million for reference). Seeds act like a second heart for humans in this world. If a seed is damaged or cut out, it can prove fatal. As time goes on a seed will grow and bloom, this usually happens around the age of 16, but can happen sooner or later. Seeds can bloom into anything and feed off the hosts personality and desires. When a seed blooms, it is no longer called a seed and instead is called a bloom. A bloom can be anything, literally. It can help with a lot of different things like simple tasks, jobs and war. Some examples are: a flower vase with vines that have healing properties, for someone who desires to help others and wants to be a doctor. A book that has everything they've ever seen or learned in it, for those who want to be a teacher or educate the world in some way. A bloom that encases hand/wrist/arm/whatever in a gauntlet that can allow them to control elements or move things with their mind. Like I said, the possibilities are endless. Most of the time, seeds will bloom into tools of destruction, or weapons. Blooms feed off emotion and desire. Once a seed blooms into a bloom, it will feed off emotion and desire and evolve as you grow older. During specific situations if a persons emotion and desire is spiked by adrenaline, it can cause a bloom to evolve and change for a limited amount of time to fit the situation, but this is rare. Society praises those with strong blooms, so kids during bloom development will desire strong blooms or blooms they've seen on TV and in comics. Schools even compete against other schools and hold tournaments to see who has the strongest bloom and more skill. These objects that bloom out of people are still connected to them by strong vine-like muscles. If a person wills it, their bloom can contract and go back inside them, allowing people to only bring out their bloom when needed.

Weeds are artificial or modified blooms. People who develop a weak bloom or a bloom they dislike will often modify it through surgery to something they like more. This is expensive and extremely dangerous. Some people change the location of their bloom and those that desire to have more than one bloom usually inject artificial blooms inside them. Artificial blooms are extremely expensive and aren't nearly as strong as a bloom that develops naturally.

Because artificial blooms are so weak, this creates a blackmarket for exotic bloom hunting. Those with strong or exotic blooms are usually kidnapped and have their bloom cutout, killing them if not handled properly. They then use the cutout bloom to sell or inject inside themselves. Criminal warlords and military executives have been rumored to have up to 10 or sometimes more exotic blooms inside them.

Exotic blooms are blooms that are extremely powerful/useful. Bloom ranks are: F, C, B, A, S. Blooms ranked A and above are considered exotic blooms. The majority of the public has C and B ranked blooms. F rank blooms are useless and are rare for someone to have.

Peony and The Garden Organization
​

The world our story is going to take place in is called Peony. The year in this world is 2142, slightly more technologically advanced than our own. The main setting is going to be at one of the major cities in this world, on an island nation. The name of the city is Umbra. Umbra is home to The Garden Organization, the biggest bloom organization. The Garden recruits those with strong blooms or those that have the potential to have strong blooms (bloodline, strong ambition/desire). The Garden employs doctors, teachers, architects, archaeologists, beast-tamers, adventurers, mercenaries and many other professions and have institutions all over the world. To join The Garden you have to have an exotic bloom or be very skilled in your profession. Those that join get a special license signifying your enrollment into the organization and can be used to get special treatment and discounts all over the world. Most join The Garden for wealth, fame and glory.

Ranks and missions. Depending on your profession, The Garden will assign special missions that vary with each rank. They're 6 different ranks that are extremely hard to climb, ranks mirror skill. You might have an exotic bloom, but if you aren't skilled or experienced with it, then it is as good as useless. The higher your rank, the more renown and money you'll get for completing missions. The ranks, in order from weakest to strongest, are: bronze, silver, gold, platinum, palladium and rose. They're currently only 7 people in the world with the rank of rose.

The Garden has a secret mercenary sector inside of all of their main buildings that they use to take on odd jobs that couldn't otherwise be performed through standard means. This secret sector is known as The Black Lotus. Here they train new recruits or outcasts with strong blooms that don't qualify for other positions. This sector is usually used for taking down black market organizations or gangs and disrupting their business and means of acquiring more blooms from them kidnaping people.

Gangs run the streets of Umbra and are far from scarce. Gang wars often threaten the lives of civilians and their way of life. Gangs operate by controlling territory, stealing, killing and more increasingly by cutting exotic blooms from kidnapped victims and selling them for very high dollar on the blackmarket.

The Bloom Module Artifact AKA Pandora's Box
​

An ancient artifact that has been missing for decades. If a user places their hand on the artifact it will copy their blooms data inside it and then allow them to modify their bloom with all the other blooms registered inside (for every different bloom modification from a different bloom added to theirs, the strength of the bloom is multiplied). Allowing someone to create the ultimate bloom, capable of incredible, world-shattering power. Attempts to recreate the artifact have all be failures and the location of the artifact is still a mystery. If the wrong person got their hands on the artifact, it could spell disaster.
