Welcome to Gaia! ::

“Everyone has that potential, that influence they can use to their advantage. They just don’t know it yet.” ~Captain Auric Okin, Resistance Leader

Explanation
Remember the date 12-6-12. In the days that followed the Nation turned to chaos...even if we didn't know it. In the recent past, with the discovery of a unique psychokinetic brainwave ,presidency was done away with. We gained the top role of a Magistrate, basically a president with a lot more power. Just as a king, a Magistrate could only come from certain families. The reason behind this being that each of these families had that very unique psychokinetic ability. The thought process behind this was that if someone was in charge with the bettering of the Nation in mind who could manifest this idea into the Nation's people, things would run smoother. And this actually worked. It was a very good idea. The first two Magistrates were very successful in making aliegences with many more foreign countries. Then the third...Magistrate Okin.He was the most successful. His reign was so peaceful, so...good...that war, violence, and any other form of "bad" was seen as barbaric. Eventually guns were outlawed, factories were shut down and destroyed, guns were even destroyed, even blueprints for any form of violent weapon system were destroyed. Magistrate Okin was on a warpath to see that his Nation would stay at peace. Even the armies were disbanded...

When Magistrate Okin came to power, he made many many allies. He also, however, made a few enemies. General Frahma, or ex general...this man was born for war. He enjoyed his job...a bit too much. When he was told to attack, he went into a state of Nirvana that none could rival. But, when war was done away with and armies were obliterated...he was decommisioned. Enfuriated, he immediately began trying to find a way to regain his Nation's pride and honor, and his own twisted way of life. In this way, a man who had done so many great things for the good of our Nation, turned against us...even without anyone realizing.

Gen. Frahma was hell-bent on dismounting the disgrace that had come to his once proud nation. Slowly he began to gain the trust of military, and government leaders. As he worked his way up, he discovered that there were many people who shared his beliefs. Quietly he came into more power and eventually, unknown to Magistrate Okin, had half of his entire cabinet following him. He began to manipulate Okin, and then the moment came.

The people were use to a “nice leader”, and for lack of a better term gullible. They became ignorant, and oblivious. The new Magistrate Frahma was able to (legally) morph what was left of the government into his own uniform utopia. While the ignorant people in this world continued going about their rather boring generic lives, Frahma turned the nation to a harsh reality of mind manipulation. He is now the top mind behind the nation. He controls the nation’s thoughts, he controls the nation’s actions, he literally controls his people, while they ignorantly obey.

Below the surface of reality, a resistance is slowly forming. Auric Okin, son of the previous Magistrate, is attempting to not only get revenge for his father, but restore the peace of his rule. He develops the ability to wake people’s minds, allow them to see the truth. Through this, he’s gained a small resistance force. However, every time he adds to his forces, the Magistrate improves his control. This makes it harder and harder for Auric to reveal the truth to anyone. Then something happens. A person wakes up slowly by himself. He begins to see the truth of the world on his own. After a bit of investigating, the Magistrate gets word of it and decides he is a threat.

A squad of hunters is sent after him and he takes flight. Running for his life and the freedom of his mind, he ends up in a junkyard on the outskirts of the city. With a small band of hunters behind him, he gets jumped by a new group. The Resistance takes out the small band after him and turns to him for questions.

Beginning...

It's late one night and he had just began to try and get some sleep. He falling into a deep sleep, his mind wanders...Zander begins tossing and turning violently as the world outside his window goes absolutely nuts. Whispers of his thoughts echo in his head as he’s trying to discern reality from nothing.
The whispers stop and end with one…”Wake up.”
He sits up and walks to his door. There is a light shining behind it. He opens the door and in a flash, wakes up in his bed.

Next day at work, he tries telling his best friend/coworker about this dream and these strange thoughts he’s been having. His friend gives him a card with an address on it, telling him to give this place a visit. He checks it out after work to find it’s a psychiatrist’s office. Getting fed up, he heads home. At home, he begins using his computer to break into some files to try to figure out these dreams. He begins searching in some restricted government files, unknowingly leaving fingerprints behind. All of a sudden, his pc goes nuts. As they spike his system, he realizes that the government is hiding something they don’t want seen, or known. Realizing all the info that was on his system, he leaves, immediately. He gets out of his house just in time to turn a corner and see a government car pull up. He hides as a few coats rush inside. After they disappear inside, he breaks in a dead sprint away. The driver sees him and calls the others back to the car. They follow him as far as a car can go. He breaks off into an old rundown junkyard. They get out and give pursuit. One Coat shoots a small spark of electricity at his feet, causing him to trip. As he lies there on the ground, one of the Coats runs up with the intention of punching him, knocking him out. Instead, a battle cry is heard as a team of people come out of hiding and take out the coats. A big guy, obviously in charge of this team, picks up the startled young man.
Big guy: “Why were they after you?”
Zander: *stammering*
Big guy: “What’s your name.”
Zander: “Zander.”
Having hit his head when he fell, Zander then passes out. The group begins to drag him away.
Zander wakes up in a dimly lit room with a few people in it. One is looking over him.
Girl: “Hey, he’s awake.”
Everyone turns their attention to him. As the person at the door says: “Captain Okin, he’s awake.”
In walks a guy who looks Zander up and down. He says: “Get your rest, tomorrow is a big day for you.
*fade to black*

Their base, located in a rather large junkyard, is just an old rundown house with a couple levels of basement dug out for training and housing areas. With all the junk piled up everywhere, they piled junk all over the shack to make it look like just another junk heap, thus succeeding in disguising it. It became their center of operations for this area...

*downstairs, training room. Zander and Okin are talking*
Zander: “So, the world I knew was basically a lie? I’ve been caught in some sort of mind control?
Okin: “That’s right. You and everyone else are mere puppets under control by the Magistrate.”
Zander: “But I woke up?”
Okin: “Yes, I’ve been waking people up from it for a little while, unfortunately, my ability to do so is weakening. I can’t begin to explain it, but you came out of it on your own…that makes you special.”
Zander: “There’s more you’re not telling me.”
Okin: “Of course, I can’t expect you to take it all in at once. Some things must wait to be found out. Do you have anymore questions, Fayt?”
Zanders: “Yeah, why do you keep calling me Fayt?
Okin: “You could be the last one to wake up. The Fate of the Freeminds could very well rest in your hands.”

One night after he had gone to bed, he had a strange dream, and apparently, he never woke up. Several days later, he opened his eyes for the first time to meet the man that had saved his life and given him everything he could of dreamed for: A purpose. This man was none other than Auric Okin
Appearance:

Auric Okin, a man with high power, and royal blood, a kind of short man, but looked up to in so many ways, descends the stairs into the combat training room. In this room are numerous weapons, dummies, targets, and other means of training devices. And in the middle, two men are going at each other.
Bigger guy: "Come on!"
Littler guy: "Rawr!"
The littler guy jumps at the bigger guy, who was only a little bit bigger, and grabs his head, swings around, and pulls him down. The bigger guy hits the floor with a thud.
Bigger guy: "Very good, Fayt. You've learned a lot."
Fayt: "I learned from the best, Hawk."
Fayt puts out his hand and helps an impressed Master Alexander Hawk up off the floor.
Okin: "How goes the training, Hawk?"
Hawk turns quickly and bows as a karate master bows to sensei.
Hawk: "It's going great, commander. Fayt's learning fast."
Okin motions to Hawk to come here, so Hawk turns to Zander.
Hawk: "Alright, Fayt. He wants to talk to me. I want you to go practice swordsmanship, just like we worked on the other day, got it?"
Fayt bows slightly and says:
Fayt: "Yes Master Hawk."
He then runs over to grab a practice saber and begins spinning it and swipping it with little flourishes just like he was showed...

As if getting slammed aganist the wall wasn't enough Vince came at him with a look to kill even though he knew better. Dragon moved by ducking under and coming up with a jab to his stomach. Vince backed up then jumped up and landed upside down with his hands on his shoulders. Vince picked up Dragon and tossed him. Dragon caught himself and countered with a series of kicks. Nither of them noticed Okin and Devinlin walk in.

Vince, after slamming him aganist the wall went in to strike but he was avoided and Dragon delt a jab to his stomach and made him stagger back. He then jumped up onto Dragons shoulders and tossed him but Dragon recovered quickly and attacked back. Vince jumped back and took his fighting stance. With an added boost of his kinetic powers and slide across the floor at a high speed and did a backflip which kicked Dragon and made him stagger back.

Viscion remained where he had been; leaning against the wall in the far end of the room. Although it could have been taken for laziness, and he could have played it off well, but he was in fact studying the swiftness of Fayt's improvement. "Hm..." Even though they were allies, he still felt as if he had a grudge against him. He didn't hate the guy, but... something just bothered him. For now, he shrugged it off as a false feeling and continued to observe Fayt's progression.

Saya watched the fight from her far corner of the room, she was leaning against the wall, her eyes glowing in the shadows.
