PREMISE
Out of the 140-million children born into the world yearly, five of them are gifted with the ability to interact with temporal rifts (a tear in the spacetime continuum that can act as a portal for nefarious entities to disrupt the balance of a world). They are called the "Riftwalkers", a special category of human beings whose existence is kept secret by an interdimensional organization called "The Infinity". Newborn Riftwalkers are usually detected and tracked by members of the Infinity, whisked away from their family and the promise of a normal life in order to be trained against "Anomalies" arising from temporal rifts. These abnormalities may come in many forms, ranging from otherworldly creatures that could maul a grown adult within five seconds, or a miasma that could corrupt an entire village into grotesque mutations. One thing is for certain: all Anomalies are highly dangerous and must be evicted from the timeline they've wrongly inhabited. As such, the Infinity is composed of Riftwalkers dedicated to keeping the natural balance in every timeline.
Unfortunately, a mysterious group which call themselves the "Abyssal Order" threatens the Infinity and therefore, the entire world. The Order orchestrated a massive attack on the pocket dimension which served as the Infinity's headquarters, massacring 70% of the Riftwalker population. The surviving members had no choice but to abandon the headquarters and evacuate to a random node in a random timeline.
Thus, the remnants of the Infinity found themselves situating in the year 2033, securing themselves an unsuspecting rundown building that became the new center of their operation. Even though it has only been a year since the massacre, the Infinity has managed to somehow get back up on their feet and resume their mission.
CHARACTER CREATION
YOU are a surviving member of the Infinity, a Riftwalker (of any age and from any timeline) a part of Platoon 5 - a newly formed unit tasked to destroy anomalies, seal rifts, and learn more about the Abyssal Order. As a Riftwalker, you have the special ability to see and interact with rifts and all riftborn entities that would normally be unseen by an average person. You are also able to cast magic, unnatural feats that are used to defeat anomalies and close rifts. For example: fire manipulation, telekinesis, super strength and etc.

Greetings, everyone! I just want to put out a disclaimer that I just joined the site today and the lore is still unrefined. I am still trying to figure things out, so please be kind and patient. Thank you for reading! I hope I piqued your interest. Cheers!
