A war is on the horizon, each nation is in a dangerous arms race against each other, lines were drawn, Alliances formed, and betrayed. Unfortunately, in the heat of war, one nation made their biggest blunder. While testing a new bio-chemical weapon on a peaceful, isolated island, now known as “paradise” a freak chain reaction occurred, as the bio-chemical spread throughout the island, the indigenous plants and wildlife thrived, though the natives of the island were left unaffected, or so it first appeared. In the years that followed, strange things were reported coming from the island, specifically, with the children native to the island. It was reported that all the female children born after the bio-chemicals was tested had glowing eyes, while most of the male children usually died upon birth or up to several months after. After this, the main land was flooded with reports of strange events from the island’s native children. As the war erupted, children from the island developed odd abilities such as telekinesis, precognition, levitation, telepathy, and the ability to communicate and manipulate plants and wildlife native to the island. However, these reports were left unchecked, at the end of the war, only 14 years later is that when these children of “paradise” come of age, they became unstable, which led to the “paradise” island massacre, nearly 1400 natives to the island were killed, many more immigrants, tourists, and other foreigners, leaving only the children born with glowing eyes to remain.
Years following the massacre and the war, the children of “paradise” have been harvested and their powers adapted for government use to “keep the peace”. After years of testing, there are three absolutes known about the daughters of paradise.
1. Children of the island “paradise” will continue to be born asexually and continuously, the origin of these children remains unknown, they all appear at the ages 5-10
2. at the age of 16, children of Paradise Island are considered “feral”, it takes exactly 16 shots to kill a feral daughter, and for every year left alive after that point, it will require one more bullet to kill them.
3. As long as they are “adopted”, daughters can share curtain abilities with a human host.
To adopt a “daughter” the bond is two parts;
A physical contract in which both the host and the daughter in question must offer a drop of blood for each year the contract is to be upheld. After a year, a drop of blood evaporates.
Secondly, a possessionary seal where each party of the contracts blood is sealed within a cherished possession of the other. The daughter cannot destroy this possession willingly, however the host may destroy the item given to him or her to end the contract with the daughter. As well as this, when a daughter is adopted, they are given a brace, at any time this brace can give up to 32 doses of highly potent nerve toxin which could kill the daughter at any time the host sees fit.
Daughters though widely disliked for their destructive power. However, they are used as Coadjutor for proctors in the Civil Enforcement agency (C.E.A) who are in charge of keeping the peace in civil and bordering nations. Also, the CEA is in charge of finding rouge or feral “daughters” and killing them. As “daughters” are seen as a major threat to the national security, if one is escapes the borders it could result in a mass genocide. Any “daughter” without a proctor, or without a brace, possessionary seal, or other seal is to be killed on sight. the CEA is also to seek out any new evidence of “daughters” being born, created artificially, or otherwise.
Concept: A new mysterious new threat has appeared, one which might bring about another war. A mysterious group of extremists called “The Kinn” have been killing CEA proctors and kidnapping or liberating “daughters” leaving us without a trace. This leads to mistrust within the newly joined union of nations as it is widely believed they are spies from bordering nations who are trying to get their hands on, and mass produce “daughters” for the reason of bringing war upon the now peaceful countries. As this is going on, civil rights activists for daughters riot against the CEA and its agents for its policies regarding “daughters” as tools of war, or weapons. As the world teeters on the edge of war once again, things seem only to become more cryptic and as more answers are revealed, even more questions surface.
ill be posting the first chapter soon, as well as maps and perhaps character designs.
