Los Angeles, 2016. New Year's coming, and it's gonna be here in one month. Not exactly one month, but you have the general idea. The world's moving around normally, which should be fine.
If not for the fact that mutants exist.
First revealed through the military operations when Allied Forces discovered the awful truth during D-Day on Normandy. Some of their patrol units were slaughtered and yet there were no evidences of them killed by bullets or knives or even artillery shells. They just sort of hit by blunt force, pressing them down at the same times. What a horrifying incident, we might add. Allied decided to up the levels of their patrol by adding the elements of SOE, OSS, and NKVD to their patrol units in case it was ever needed. Which did. They found evidences of mutants hitting them when they were patrolling. Soon, with the evidences of it, Allied sending in large numbers of soldiers and specialized operators during the final days of Nazi Germany. Subsequent smaller fights ensued, and although they won, they also lost large amounts of soldiers. Given that the mutants proved to be an excellent threats, Operation Paperclip and other similar operations initiated by other members of the Allied with the intention to captured the knowledge of mutations and genetics as well as other...experiments, more mundane ones.
They though they know how to make one. But unfortunately, the real secrets - that mutants made naturally through genetics mutations and not through experiments - were destroyed in an attempt by Nazi to stopped them from getting the research. They did able to formed mutants through experiment, but came mostly from humans with no mutations at all, giving them abilities but at limited scope, making them effective but not as effective as they hoped. But even public not knows them at full scope, they only made appearance through conspiracy theorists.
Came the 2016. Soon, the world will be forced to open their eyes on the mutants, whether they prepared, or not...
Welcome to Los Angeles, 2016. December 2016, to be exact. Mutants are secret, world governments know them but certainly keep it as a secret to the public. However, soon it will be changed. Something big is coming on New Year, and the world will soon be forced to realized the mutants, the real secrets behind their mutation, and the real threats behind their mutations as well.
Publicly, the existence status of mutant is unknown to the public, only exists on conspiracy theorists' blogs, circles, and so on. Military and government on the other hand knows very much about mutants, but still armed with limited knowledge regarding the full extension of the mutations on mutants.
The RP will starts on December 2016, for we will find the first world-revealing existence of mutants on New Year's Eve, or on Christmas. Who knows.
