The Arrivals

The first group to arrive were legends in the community, and not in the good way.

Upper Echelon.

They were led by Paramount, an imposing-looking man who wore metal armour held together purely by the power of his own magnetism. Literally. It hovered a few millimetres away from his skin and was held there with perfect precision.

He was flanked on either side by a brother and sister pair, Damjan and Azazel. They were both dressed in similar metallic armour, though theirs wasn't controlled by their leader it was just stitched into the weave of their costumes.

Damjan was a type of healer, she transferred health from one person to another by punching them. Health was a nebulous concept, I didn't know if her power worked like something out of a video game but it sounded dangerous.
