Okay, so right now, the working title is "Abnormal". It's set in this world where the planet is split between three continents. The one on the left, called "Wasteland" is where all the psychos, and the zombies, and the dragons and such roam(I'll get to why in a sec), the center continent is called the Capital. It's where the central government, and all the high up, snooty rich assholes and politicians live, as well as many smaller cities and villages are em-placed. The final continent, the right one, is where the military, industrial, and R & D is situated.

The lore of the world, is that, at a point, a few centuries before the main story begins, a man named Hayzeus discovered he was an Abnormal, someone with powers, his, was that of creation. He spent decades creating what he wanted, not only to prove he could, but to see what he could do. As such, he spent many years in the Wasteland, just creating as many things he could, like zombies and Dragons, and over the years, people started to worship him as a god. Eventually the power went to his head, and one of his followers attempted to kill him, however he survived, and went into exile.

The story itself, follows three characters, each will have their own chapters, from their points of view. The first character, is Molly, a Historian working for the Capital. One year before the start of the story, her powers as an Abnormal activate, and she accidently burns down a library. She's pointed to Alfred, an Abnormal who served the President as a bodyguard in his youth, who teaches her how to control her powers, and tells her of the history of the world. The second character, Alex, is a young man, normal human, who lives in the Wasteland as a Treasure Hunter, trying to find as many treasures as possible so he could someday move to the Capital. The third, and final primary character is Troy, a Ranger from the right continent, in his fifth year as a Ranger, called into the Capital to solve a murder for the President.

The government of the world isn't evil, they're not assholes, they're not run by some computer or mystery organization. Just wanted to point that out. Anyway, the government runs as this, the people vote for a President, he runs for life, unless he chooses to leave office, in which he gives a notice, and appoints a temporary successor. As President, that person holds near-total power, more akin to a King. The current President, Orlando is a nice guy, he wants his lands to remain unified and happy, he tries his best, but he doesn't always succeed.

Way back when, the 66th President attempted to have all Abnormals killed, seeing them as uncontrollable monsters. Within two years of his run, he was removed from office, and still, nine Presidential reigns later, the damage is still being undone. Even after Alfred, and four other Abnormals served as the personal bodyguards for two Presidents.

For each character's stories, I envision this,

Alex - He's just doing his normal daily stuff, searching old ruins for treasures, when he's attacked by a horde of zombies, and he has to flee a possible treasure trove. Months later, he finds a temple with a ruby necklace, He uses it to get into the Capital, and comes across Molly, and they share a common interest, that being the history of their world.

Molly - After "graduating" from Aflred's tutorship. she decides she wants to go to the Capital city and get the President to re-form the the Abnormal Rangers.

Troy - His story is him solving as many cases as possible for the President, and the people, as to improve the image of the Rangers in the eyes of the people, after it was revealed many of the said Rangers started to abuse their power on the citizens.

The state of the world is this, the R & D island, guns are required, everyone has one on-hand. Mainly because, you know, it's the military.

The Capital - Guns aren't banned per-say, they're just frowned upon, they're seen as uncivilized weapons, instead they use swords.

The Wasteland - Guns are technically banned, but everyone ignores the rule, since it's fucking hell to live in the Wasteland.
