"The flame is the soul's body
The black smoke is the soul's breath
Ashes thou wert and art
May thy soul return to the grand flame of Azara
LΓ‘tom"
For hundreds of thousands of years, ever since the cavemen walked upon the land of Terra and first discovered fire, it had been deemed that whoever controlled the flame controlled the world. The power of the flame could grant anyone, anything they ever needed; warmth, comfort, protection, and even to purify. Centuries passed and as the human race evolved overtime, so did the uses of fire. What was once used for merely just warmth or comfort was now being used to power devices and machinery that only grew more powerful overtime. Eventually even weapons were formed and created using this great discovery known as fire.
As humanity continued to evolve overtime, one day, a massive meteor had crashed upon Terra. When first locating the crash site of the meteor, the large space rock had appeared to had been enveloped in a white flame. Believing that it would go out after a few hours, it was unexpected to scientists to find that the meteor's flame had never gone out. Without any possible answers as to why it never went on, it was eventually transported to one of the largest military bases upon Terra, where it was left outside the base to avoid damage. Tests were done upon the large meteor only to find that whatever caught on fire because of the white flame would never stop burning until whatever it had burned had completely turned into ash.
With intrigue forming upon the World Governments about the meteor, it was soon decided upon the World Leaders that it should be cracked open to see what resided within. With giant machinery, the large space rock was eventually cracked open only to reveal a large ball of white fire that burned brightly and consistently. Although the moment they had shattered the outer shell of the meteor and revealed the interior of this ball of white fire, a massive wave of heat instantly coated the entirety of the planet within a mere second. At first, it had appeared nothing had happened and life continued while the ball of fire was taken and locked away in one the of the most secure and durable cells within the military base.
Within a span of two years or so, reports of random individuals were suddenly able to create flames out of thin air while some were even able to control external flames and even there being reports of those able to cover themselves in flames and be 'fine'. While at first, the reports were rare cases that had taken these individuals to hospitals for care and research studies, soon enough, similar reports began to spike up all throughout the world until practically everyone was able to use the power of fire in one way or another. It wouldn't be long before the decision to train everyone how to use their power if they had awakened to it began to occur throughout Terra.
Within a month or so however, after the World Governments had deemed specific users of these powers as different 'generations' of this 'pyrokinesis'. First generations were to be considered those who could envelope themselves in flames, Second generations were those who could manipulate flames as long as there was a source of it present, Third generations were those who could generate flames from some part of their bodies or able to create it into some form of tool for them to use. Suddenly, one day, a teenager who had been a First Generation began to burst into flames without his consent. His skin burnt to a crisp and flesh cracked, his eyes becoming hollowed and completely filled with nothing but fire. His physical power had dramatically increased as well as his control of fire as well. Although just by the sounds of his voice, he was no longer able to speak and was in severe amounts of pain.
After killing him, one after another, cases began to pop all over the planet as other individuals who had been First Generation had also burst into flames in the same situation. After that day, First generation users were no longer accepted into training; because of this, without training it was believed that these individuals would not be able to awaken to their true flame power risking them bursting into uncontrollable flamed beasts, otherwise known as Infernals by this point in time. Unfortunately, that was not the case, it appeared as though even individuals who hadn't awakened to their power suddenly were turning into Infernals at any point in time. Police authorities have always been unable to defeat these Infernals with their gear that only bounced off the rock hardened flesh of the turned individuals. It was only then when other generations had shown they have been able to defeat these Infernals with their own power did World Governments decide to create a new faction of security throughout Terra, it would be known as Ignition Corps.
The Ignition Corps consisted of about Six Divisions, each division is dedicated to a specific task given to them, whether it be medicine, research and development, training recruits, etc. Each division has a ranking order from Captain, Second-In-Command and then every other member of the division. Even with the task given to them as an entire division, every single member of each division is solely tasked with the protection of Terra and its people from Infernals.
Aside from The Ignition Corps, after they had been formed and the rest of the public had returned back the as normal as normal could be, years later, as expected there would be reported cases that some of the members of different divisions within the Corps, being corrupted in using their positions and ability to control their awakened generation power to blackmail innocent civilians for extra payments to kindly destroy their loved ones that had turned Infernal. Because of this, it was rumored to believe that a new group had been forming within the shadows, hidden away from the sights of the Corps and the World Government. They are rumored to be called The Eternal Flames. Strangely enough, some of these individuals not only controlled flames but some of which had been strangely able to control the opposite to flames and instead controlled ice. Still, they were considered Third Generation as many of them explained about the use of their power still having to do with flames but somehow they absorb their heat from within.
This new group may not have been well-known, but they have decided upon themselves to battle against even the Corps, while yet also protecting the people of Terra in the same sense as the Corps. Yet, the main goal behind the newly formed group is the belief that the Corps is hiding information regarding as to how and why people continued to turn Infernal even when they have not awakened to their power. The leader of the group to this day still believes there is something wrong and vows to discover the truth.
Question is, who do you believe holds true 'justice'?
