THE BEGINNING
In the beginning, man learned how to read, write, and comprehend the world around them. It was a slow beginning but eventually they built homes, schools, and a writing language. A calendar was built showing the three seasons of Rea. The season of water, the season of fire, and the season of ice. Each lasting four months. Then a government arose from this to keep the slow incline of people from swirling into chaos. It was decided to make a woman named Rea the queen of the people. She gladly accepted and it then decided it would be known as the first year of their people. She reigned for eighty years before letting her daughter come to power. Her daughter was also known as Rea the 2nd, in honor of her mother. This kept going until the year 257. The current lady Rea disappears and quickly a man for the first time took control of the government.
THE RISE OF REBORN AND GOVERNMENT
The beginning of his reign was one of kindness. He would stand before his people promising prosperity and peace among the world. He would also say that a dark day was coming that he would protect his people from. He would already see what was happening before all others because of his preminitions that were caused by a small black dot on the back of his neck which he kept a cloth over at all times. The children were always born with red birthmarks that resembled his dot but he was different. He didn't know why yet but he knew he was only the beginning. He hated the thought of being different so he would make it so his kind was no longer different but accepted whether he had to use force or not.
Not long after his speech, children were being born with black dots and red dots all across the nation which began to alarm the general population. The emporor told them that under his kind, belevolent rule that he will cure them of the illness. But, the population didn't know, he was talking about them. Soon, the children would be taken into hospitals ran by the government and most never seen the light of day until twenty years. The ones who did try to see them were found dead in alleys. The general population feared for the children that seemed to be dying mysteriously after not having been 'taken' care of by the government so they even more willingly gave up their children.
Twenty years later, the emporor now having a son of his own was found dead. No cause of death but his son now took reign of the government and with it, rose an era of military action. The people in his military were powerful and had special gifts that the general population didn't seem to understand yet. But they did notice some had that black dot and soon they realized that these were the children taken from them. The reborns were mostly generals and other higher government officials who would force the general population soldiers to police the city and forcefully take children now.
It was a dark age that brought about untrust in the government but the people were afraid to fight them. Instead, they hid their children and raised their children with fake painted on birthmarks to keep them safe. They would realise these children were special and had powers even without the government but always made sure they thought they would kill everyone they loved if they used them to ensure they didn't let the government find out.
THE RISE OF TENSION
Fast forward one hundred years and the government is still a powerful faction. Though many of the reborn are dead from the previous generations, they still have a select few who were born and raised within its walls. The generals are powerful people who command perfect from what they see as the lesser 'mortals' among them. The reborn are still around and being hunted but they have two choices now. Join them or die. This concept has been seen as an extreme by many but the mortals fear them and do not wish to die so they help many times to give the reborn away though some will feel sympathy. Many people even see the Reborn as the reason for this corrupt and evil government so they wish them dead more than the government does. The reborn have now split into many factions.
THE RISE OF THE PIRATES
Pirates are a group of people who live on the sea and by the laws of the sea. They will murder, steal, or even kidnap to get what they want. They were known as dangerous people even among the generals of the government. The pirates numbers are unknown and even the pirates themselves don't usually help each other because it is the survival of the strongest among their ranks. The pirates seem to live among the population and they seem to be masters at blending in to the scenery and looking like any other folk. It is rumoured their is a queen among the pirates who commands them all but the information on this woman is rare to speak of. She is known as the most powerful pirate of the seas and is feared by most pirates. She is the only one known to be able to walk onto a pirate ship and command it even with the current captain on board. Many have told stories of her leading her crew into government ran cities and murdering even some of the best soldiers to loot government holds of weapons and money.
THE RISE OF THE REBELLION
The rebellion against this corrupt government has taken hold of a somewhat larger city compared to most in this world on the coast between the capital and another larger government ran city. This city holds many reborn who leave it to enter the cities 'incognito' as to not draw attention though if found out. They will be hunted and a public execution will be held three days later after much torture and interrogation. The government knows their is a rebellion in the works but they don't know the numbers or the force so they are trying to deal with it one reborn at a time. Their is no known leader to the rebellions yet but those who have tried to lead them have been found to be government spies who were sent in several bags after being killed by the rebellion and sent back to the government as a warning.
THE YEAR 456
One year prior to present day, the balance of nature is being upset by the reborns power but it isn't a direct cause of their birth. It is the mystery of what caused their birth that is upsetting the balance. Because of this, monsters are being born with powers from the earth. This is making travel outside of the cities more dangerous though the amount of monsters is still small from what most can see but they are still dangerous for mere mortals. This brings us to the year 457 where the battle of the rebellion, pirates, and government are at all time high but still not an all out war because the rebellion is still weaker in numbers if they were to attack the cities head on.
The technology for the general population is that of the early days before guns. They have refined swords and daggers. They use staffs and even sometimes slingshot type devices though guns aren't out of the equation. They have been made but the ones who made them are the government and they purposely keep the schematics of the weapon within their walls to not let it into the general public. Anyone found carrying the weapon is subject to death so those who have gotten ahold of one take great care to hide them.
The society is somewhat poor because of the government not allowing the general public do most jobs and only allowing government workers to do them to keep the public from being too educated. The public though isn't as dumb as most would think but they are fearful of what would happen to what little society they have if they were to try to revolt so many gave up the battle and fight for the government to hang onto whatever they have.
