"And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."
~ Revelation 9:6
Fame, glory, riches beyond measure and a name traveling through whispers of awe and woe. Are these the things you desire most in this life, dear tempter? To fight, claw, and climb to the top of the food chain. To have your name spoken in folk songs and your life story told as myth and legend? Trust that in this story, dear heroes, everyone knows how this ends. Fate has sealed its doors and from this point on you are on a track to tragedy.
Look around yourselves children. Let your eyes fall upon those around you. Each individual big and tall, brave and cowardly, famous and insignificant shared one thing in common with each other. One single thread that ties you all into this story being told as destiny wraps its coils around each and every one of your throats and threatening to suffocate you until your consciousness drifts into the abyss. You are the best...you have been chosen by a higher power to participate in the trial of gods.
But for now dear audience. Let us meet the heroes of this story so eager to throw themselves to the fire and sacrifice their souls to the wolves.
So open your eyes children. Tell us who you are~

This story begins as most do ladies and gentleman. In a world shattered into fragments and four nations divided after a cataclysmic deceleration of war hope is a word that has long been forgotten and replaced with a more fitting term...survival. The age of the Hunters & Huntresses that protected humanity have long but passed, being hunted themselves and driven to near extinction. The word itself now brings nothing but distrust and dread among the general populace. The once fabled academies of Haven, Shade, Atlas, and Beacon are all either obliterated or in complete ruin and decay, and while some Hunters and Huntresses still exist, choosing to walk the earth in solitude and all but abandoning their duty in favor of survival.
Heroes...heroes don't exist anymore dear audience. Of this i can assure you. But behind the scenes a plot stirs as an eccentric billionaire extends various invitations to a collection of...diverse and interesting individuals. An invitation detailing the opportunity of a lifetime should they possess the bravery to grasp it. Each holder of an invitation was sent very specific coordinates to a pickup location. Upon arrival there would be a small handful of other souls similar to themselves and after several hours of waiting some who possessed a weaker will would return home and give up. But for those who remained, those who stuck it out and stayed a bright light would fall from the sky in the dark of the night, a large drop ship would land and retrieve those who had an invitation and gather them upon the aircraft.
And this is where our story begins. Men and women gathered from across the world would be gathered on this single ship. Their minds raw with anticipation and perhaps even fear as they are carried away into the night with no explanation as to where they were going or what they were even doing in the first place. It was in this atmosphere of paranoia and excitement we find our heroes.
Introduce yourselves dear tempters.
