  The Charged ​
  Charged is a term used to refer to any human within Lithium with superpowers and unusual "Charged" genetics, genes that cannot be understood through simple observation. Charged abilities vary widely in range, from mutated appearances such as cat ears to full on lizard bodies, to the ability to teleport or shoot fire from their hands. There are almost no limits to the charged in their bodily changes
  
  For Charged without obvious mutations, distinguishing them from a normal human is far from difficult, but usually requires contact. Charged have higher levels of brain and neural activity, resulting in more bio-electrical output, more so than a potato lamp. Their brain activity cannot be read by normal monitors and require specialized equipment. Charged also have larger and stronger hearts to supplement the toll that Charged powers can take on the body.
  
  More often than not, Charged would have some biological mechanism relating to their powers, and as such, can be distinguished through traits unique to that particular Charged, most likely mutants. Wether it be a venom gland, increased skin thickness, ex. The body changes to suit the power, big and small.
  
  The Charged have their powers from birth, The earliest maturing of a power recorded at TEST was at 10 years old. When a ability matures that is when most of it's uses become able to be used. The reason for these 'safety' wheels are unknown but power maturing has seen to be activated at any point. Power maturing is usually a peaceful affair that happens during sleep but has been seen happening in stressful situations. The average observed age for maturing is 14 years of age.

  What Happened.....? The Charged came from a unknown source 59 years ago to the small town of Lithium. From there Charged traveled and expanded the rest of the Human gene pool across the North-Eastern US. Though as a recessive gene it was still extremely rare among most populations. The way that the charged abilities are picked have no rhyme or reason. Ranging from parents passing it down to completely random. Though the Charged have only been around for 2 generations. The most recent generation of the charged have been more powerful than the first, and no one knows why.
  
  What TEST has been able to determine is that the abilities come from the fourth dimensional energy effecting the genetics of a human at every point. Though the ability to manipulate this is nearly impossible to even TEST even though they have released many papers to the public on the subject. Much about the Charged and where they began from is unknown. People have been panicking over this sudden power-spike in this generation of Charged. Lead to reformation of TEST as we know it.​

  TEST ​
  Spoiler: TEST statistics

  Floors: 15 above ground, 30 underground.
  
  Employees: 300 staff members dedicated to science, 150 janitors/maintenance workers
  
  Test subjects: 700 test subjects with 100 risk III, 339 risk II and 361 risk I
  
  Security Staff: Unknown

  (Image of TEST research Center below)​
  - The TEST facility above the lobby is a office that handles all the financing, and legal issues. Holds a enumerable amout of bureaucrats and lightly armed security
  - The floors below the Lobby have security depending on Risk Level
  
  Each holding cell floor is separated from the elevators, stairs and by extent the outside world by checkpoints. These checkpoints are long corridors (29x5x4 meters) with control post on each side of these checkpoints. The left and right sides have glass to view the interior of the corridor. On each end of the corridor there is a blast door that is locked until unlocked by a someone in a control post. The side walls around the corridor that the guards use as a break room and monitor the subjects from control all the doors in the cell block, oxygen flow, ex. The vents for oxygen come from the front of the checkpoints. at the center of every checkpoint hallway is a ceiling mounted sentry gun with a single barrel that stays stored in the ceiling when not triggered by a guard via button. Checkpoints require clearance to anyone traveling to them. Clearance is granted by fingerprint scans.
  
  ​
  
  The Risk lvl I & II cell blocks consist of 50 Cells that are basically small rooms, similar to a nice ships room in each one. With hardwood flooring and tiled walls. Though depending on who the subject is the room will be altered. Blocks for Risk lvl I & II have a mess hall in the center that is served by a head chef and 2 cooks. Risk III have their food cooked in a kitchen in the Checkpoints and delivered by an unlucky guard through a slit in the door.
  
  
  
  (I will draw a map for this and post it here one day)​
  R&D - Basement floors 1-5 Where the research data is processed and most of the scientist work at.
  
  Risk Level I cells - Basement floors 6-15 Risk level I is home to all of the low threat Charged, and people who have turned themselves willingly/Rehabilitated from Risk II. They are lightly monitored and guarded with basic armed security holding handguns. The checkpoints are manned by 4 guards at maximum. There are camera's in the mess area. in the center of the cell block there is a bar to serve the older patients drinks (to an extent) and Ice cream machines. These rooms have a private bathroom. The times are loose with only a curfew and appointments.
  
  Recreation Risk I - Basement floors 16-17 Only Risk lvl I are allowed to go to these floors (Besides Guards). Stairs connect floors 6-15 to these floors without needing to go through a checkpoint. Cameras line every inch of these grounds.
  Floor 16 - Library & Power Study Center
  Floor 17 - Gym & Running track (Holds a running track and a variety of treadmills, weights and machines. All machines have anti-tamper devices on them.)
  
  Risk level II cells - Basement floors 18 - 25 Risk II is home to the super criminals and villains of the world. These people have been captured from lithium or across the North-East US and transferred there. These cells are more barren and only hold a decent bed, a sink, a mirror, a clock, and another room next to the cell for a bathroom. Every piece of these cells have cameras to watch the inmates, and there are stricter times for lights out and where you are supposed to be. The checkpoints are armed by 8 guards minimum and on a fast day are manned by 15.
  
  Recreation Risk II - Basement Floors 26 - 27 Only Risk II are allowed to here (besides guards) and every inch of this these floors are monitored and the subjects are only allowed here during set times. 2 times a day maximum at inmates request for a few hours at a time.
  Floor 26 - Library, Therapy center & Power Research Center
  Floor 27 - Gym & Running track (Holds a running track and a variety of treadmills, weights and machines. All machines have anti-tamper devices on them)
  
  Risk Level III cells - Basement Floors 28 - 29 Level III cells are baren until someone new is moved in. Each cell is built especially to that inmate. Every place they go is planned, every inch of the room is monitored, every subject has therapist/scientist for them that follows them where they go if possible and takes notes. There are 3 checkpoints back to back leading to the elevators/stairs. With 10 Guards in each checkpoint.
  
  Dedicated Study & Power Training Connected to floors 28 - 29 via stairs, this is where the Risk III subjects go to for study and power research.

  TEST has been around for the last 40 years. It was closed 25 years ago from modern day and recently opening a year ago. TEST was formed right after PCFC (Protective Containment For Charged; which acted like holding place for Charged. Good or not) and quickly took its place. TEST was originally closed for human rights violations, and improper testing on subjects 25 years ago. TEST origins are unknown to the populous but they newest opening they have appeared to be really open to the public. Releasing research papers, opening the first gene clinics and high tech prosthetic labs in the TEST lobbies. Even going as far as to take in orphaned Charged and giving them roofs and food.
  
  TEST long been the center of Lithium, never being torn down but instead becoming state funded a year ago when it was reopened. The government funding the research that they do there. Though it is listed as a research center for the Charged it has long doubled even now as a Super Prison. While the average person knows nothing of it being a prison, the skeptic might know this. Though they are legally cleared for it, they leave it out of their public image purposefully.
  
  TEST appears to be the forerunner in the world for advanced tech and plans to branch out of state at some point. Being one of the top companies in the Americas​

Organizations

Spoiler: The Carnival (Organization)

Carnival-

Carnival is a secret group that will sabotage any organization that has taken advantage of others. People usually commission them if they want revenge on another, but has to provide proof of the other organization doing misdeeds. The leader of this group is Devon Bullock, also known has HammerHead. The way to commission them can be difficult, which proves someone's determination if they are willing to put up with them. You have to find a series of numbers scattered around the city. One number leading to another. Once you plug those numbers in, you have to decode them to find the coordinates and the password. The coordinates only shows you the area they are in. You must go around to find the building yourself, constantly saying the password to people until one of them guides you to where Carnival is. Often, you must be pretty wealthy to find them, or willing to become pretty poor to repay them back.
