One day your in your class at school dealing with the boring norms that come with it, when suddenly everything stops. Quite literally. Time stops moving for everyone around you, but your not affected by it at all. Suddenly you see something that makes you question your sanity. In one bright flash of white light, what looks to be a beautiful angel of grand holy power appears about six feet in front of you.
Next an eruption of fire explodes out of the ground six feet behind you and a vicious looking demonic creature crawls out of the flames, but to your surprise, your not afraid of it at all. You know you should be terrified, but your just not.
To your right a loud sonic boom of sound explodes and a rippling void appears out of thin air six feet away and a being that can only be described as an enlightened embodiment of an immortal god, walks out of the floating wormhole, to face you. You stare back in awe.
And lastly, to your left a swirling void of stark wet swirling darkness seems to suddenly appear on the ceiling above you and from out of the black mass the bony black cloaked creature that can only be described as a nightmarish reaper of death slowly glides down from inside of it.
You stare in disbelief and confusion as each of them stare at you intently and suddenly you feel a voice of multiple pitches and a variety of ranges, enters your mind speaking only one word in an echo. “Awaken...” You immediately throw your head backwards in an uncontrolled erratic response and golden light begins to flare out from your eyes and mouth as you are lifted hovering into the air and a barrage of images fill your vision, swirling into your mind like a tsunami of memories released from the floodgates of an overflowing dam. After about thirty seconds of flash forward information being uploaded into your brain you slowly lower back to the classroom floor heaving from the exertion. You know the truth now.
You realize whats going on. Your not a normal kid. You never were. Your an Alter. A modern day summoner and something like an army general. Able to collect, and control special beings called Ego’s brought to life from the Soulscape, a plane of existence where the collected dreams, thoughts, prayers, and consciousness of all of mankind lay. Alone no one person has even an ounce of spiritual power to do battle, a limitation put there purposely so that we humans in our hubris, would never be able to destroy each other or the earth over petty things such as money, power, and greed. But all together, mankinds spiritual power is limitless.
Gaia the lifeforce of the earth itself in an attempt to protect the planet from the coming doom, has allowed you and others just like you, to access the power housed within the soulscape in order to combat the coming war. She can feel that in about three years from now, a great evil, known only as, The Nemesis, will arrive and wreak havoc upon the world. So in response she is creating an army of her own to fight back. You’ve been chosen. Chosen to protect the world from the terrifying invaders that threaten to prey on all of mankind and the very earth itself. Before that happens you must learn, grow in strength, collect more Ego’s, and train yourself before the coming battle
And now comes your choice.
From the four mighty Egos that have appeared before you,
The Angel, The Demon, The God, and The Reaper,
you must choose one for yourself.
The first in many that will be at your beck and call.
Welcome chosen one too,
Alter Ego.
Alters are young adults between the ages of 13 and 18 who have been chosen as masters for immensely powerful imaginary beings pulled into existence. These are known as Ego’s. Ego’s come in four different affinity types as stated.
Angels, Demons, Gods, and Reapers. Its believed that more Ego types exist but that has yet to be confirmed.
There are two cities that sit side by side to one another.
New Grand City
and Harbor Heights
Between them is a deep dropping cliff and a wide open expanse separating them, save a couple of dangerous waterways that can be traversed carefully by boat.
Other than private jets employed by the rich and influential, and emergency helicopters employed by departments of the city such as hospitals and the police, there's the Civic Bridge.
After nearly two decades of expensive and painstakingly difficult construction it was finally completed about two years ago and has become the main form of travel between the cities.
But prior to the bridges completion the Marine Subway was most often used and still is for those who continue to rely on cheap public transportation.
Far below the depths of the city their are multiple underwater channels that connect the New Grand Substations and the Harbor Heights Substations.
Angelic Egos:
Egos of the holiest light thought to be protectors of the wise and guardians over the innocent of mankind.
Demonic Egos:
Thought of to be evil and destructive, these sinister beings are said to be the bringers of misfortune and chaos.
Godly Egos:
Powerful beings worshiped throughout the ages as gods and goddess of different cultures by mankind.
Reaper Egos:
Thought to be judges of the living and harvesters of the dead, these grim phantoms deliver death to any and all without fail.

Alter World Pocket
All Alters have the ability to use this ability. By stepping into their Ego's body they can enter their very own
Alter World Pocket or The Pocket for short. While within they can communicate directly with their Ego's via emotions, see everything, their ego's see, hear what they hear, and feel what they feel. Also this can be used as a comfortable way to hitch a ride from place to place while the Ego travels within the real world. Alters can also bring things or other people with them while within the pocket but nothing can be left inside. Any thing or anyone with the Alter will be expelled from the pocket when the Alter leaves.
Warning: Being within the Alter World Pocket during battles can be very painful. Any physical pain the Ego feels will be felt by anyone within the Pocket, although after leaving no physical effects will have taken place.
Angels Heart:
Alters of this type when in direct sunlight are said to be able to create powerful force fields and throw orbs of light that can slightly heal themselves or allies and numb physical pain. They can do this without sunlight as well but too much and it will quickly drain their physical energy causing them to tire and want to sleep. A goods nights rest or putting them in direct sunlight can re energize them faster.
Devils Rage:
Alters of this type are able to use telekinesis to push and pull things from a distance. Anger is the fuel used to power this ability and the more angry you get, the stronger you become, but the strong you become, the less control you have. If you push this ability too far you will not be able to stop destroying everything around you until you pass out from the strain or are knocked unconscious. You will begin attacking innocent people and even your allies in a blind berserker rage. The one and only way to re energize this power after overuse is to get a goodnights sleep.
Godly Armaments:
Alters of this type seem to able to manifest weapons such as guns, grenades, knives, axes, and swords out of thin air but in reality they are simply teleporting these weapons to them from whatever the nearest source is available such as a police station, army base, city museum, gunshop, or even a random civilian's home, but the bigger the weapon is the more power it takes to teleport. If the nearest source of a weapon is too far away this ability will not work. Max source distance of teleportation is a three mile radius of the alter.
Soul Walker:
Alters of this type are said to be able to astral project their spirits out of their bodies as spirits. While astral projecting their physical bodies are sleeping and their spirit forms can fly very fast, at the speed of sound, and move through walls, to spy on people, and even take over the bodies of animals(no humans tho) and by touching a persons mind soul walkers can put people to sleep. Warning! The alters sleeping body is equal to being in a coma and is left completely vulnerable and anything that happens to it in this state will not be known about by the Alter while their spirits are gone. Their bodies can even be, taken away, attacked, or killed without them knowing. If the body is moved without their knowing they will not be able to reenter the body, until it is found.
Masters Spark:
Alters of this type can use electrical impulses through touch to reprogram and control advanced machines, electronics and/or mechanical vehicles just by thinking about it. They can also give a strong shock to anyone they touch stunning them. If they use this ability too much it will tire them out causing them to fall unconscious. Getting a good nights sleep or simply absorbing energy from a source of electricity will re energize them.
Earth Blessing:
Alters of this type are said to gain increased physical abilities such as agility, jumping, endurance, strength, and running speed, beyond all human limitations. They can also use this ability when not in contact with plant life but overuse will drain physical energy causing them to tire and want to sleep. A goods nights rest or putting them in direct contact with plant life can re energize them faster.
Soon To Be Discovered
An underground military terrorist group within the two cities.
Their goal and motivation is to be a resistance against the injustices being done by the hierarchy of the two cities. Their ability to cause fear, destruction, and chaos in the name of their cause is well known.
