Fantasy Powerful Intentions Lore

[-Mork-]

Intro: Back in 2008, approximately five percent of the recorded human population gained abilities. These abilities were given several names: magic, powers, gifts, etc. Nobody knows where they came from, but it didn't take long for some of the newly powerful people to turn into professional criminals. Be it complex thievery or inhuman murder, the government created an organization for anyone with powers who was willing to track down and capture any of these criminals. Members of this group became known as Heroes, while anyone it hunted was dumbed down to being called Villains. There are some villains who become hunters too, but instead they hunt heroes to aid their criminal community. You are gifted and you have powerful intentions. Whether those intentions are good or bad, that is for you to decide.

Gifts: Around 5% of the known human population received these just ten years ago. There are generally three types of gifts so far known to the world: Somatic, Generative, and Manipulative. Somatic gifts tend to change the owner's appearance or physical capabilities, such as: enhanced senses, speed, jumping, strength, or like having a physical mutation/deformity. Generative gifts usually don't hurt their owners, even if they are ice or fire. Usually they entail: the generation of any material like fire, ice, air, earth, etc. Manipulative gifts are a little like the other two, but are definitely different. While you constantly have enhanced bodily capabilities with Somatic gifts or how you can generate anything from nothing with Generative gifts, you can manipulate and change what already exists with a manipulative gift. This tends to be more of the mental side of the gifts, being capable of all sorts of illusions and also: telepathy, telekinesis, teleportation, inducing hallucinations of any sense, being able to control an element as long as it's present. Because any given gift is capable of being so powerful, no one has anymore than the one they were originally given ten years ago.
