Cosmic Era
The world collapsed on January 1, 2021.
After the onset of a wave of galactic radiation - Chaos Day - struck the Earth in previously unheard-of quantities, the world's electronics systems failed. Everything humanity had come to take for granted, useless. And yet, there was more.
With Chaos Day came the Supernaturals: Supers, for short. Every person born on Chaos Day inherited a form of the cosmic power that had washed over humanity. Some were blessed with the minor ability to manipulate heat, and others were gifted with control of starfire.
Eighteen years after Chaos Day, these Supernaturals were trained by their governments, replacing traditional special operations units and becoming each nation's trump cards.
Among these new elites, there were those who were dissatisfied with being treated as human weapons for their governments. These Supers betrayed their governments, becoming rogues. Branded as Traitors, these rogue Supers began launching terrorist attacks aimed at destroying the social order.
Though humanity had long since rebuilt itself, returning to its former glory, the world was not the same after Chaos Day. Not for the average person, nor for the 400,000 babies born that fateful day.
This is the new era. The Cosmic Era.
