Background: The story begins with a group of humans that find a liquid called Darkwater in the year 1200. Darkwater strengthens the user, enhancing their speed, endurance, strength, longevity, reflexes, senses, and cunning. It can even give the user different abilities like camouflage in any environment, incredible marksmanship, immunity to poisons, and many others. However, it has some dangerous side effects: it makes people vicious, very self-centered, even evil to varying degrees. It also disfigures the user, causing half-animal half-human looking creatures. Of course, the normal humans were rather scared of these big, scary, mean people. This resulted in a war between humans and the so-called Half-Breeds, in the battles of which the Half-Breeds almost always won. However, in the year 1400, another liquid was found. It was called Lightwater. Lightwater had similar but lessened effects of Darkwater, giving slightly enhanced strength, senses, and endurance, but greatly enhancing reflexes, speed/agility, longevity, and intelligence. It also had none of the bad side effects of Darkwater; rather than making people evil or vicious, Lightwater made people better morally and have a keener sense of justice but also of mercy. It also gave them special abilities; however, they were not as strong as the Half-Breeds' abilities. The new group, dubbed The Order of Crusaders, was made up of a select few people who fought against the Half-Breeds. They had a lot more success than normal humans, but the war was still in the Half-Breeds' favor. Then, in the 1800s, the Industrial Revolution happened. Inventors and engineers made all sorts of inventions that helped to turn the tide of the war. In particular, a man named Nikola Tesla accidentally discovered cold fusion when conducting one of his experiments. This was a crucial invention that many other inventions were based off. For example, the weaponized Tesla Coil was able to hit anything within range with a powerful blast of electricity from a large cold fusion device. However, the Half-Breeds have just figured out something too. By taking one part Lightwater and nine parts Darkwater, they can create far stronger beings, capable of previously impossible feats, such as reaching 100 m.p.h., lifting forty tons, and other amazing things. This halted the previously game-changing inventions of the humans and The Order. You must help save humanity - or help destroy it.
