The World in Brief

Since the dawn of time, humanity liked to separate inhabitants of the world into three categories: Humans, those who seized control of the planet from the start and ruled for centuries, Monsters, races that contain differences from humans that can range from abilities to physiology, and every other non-sentient animal. By the year 2026, where automation and instant gratification are the norms, most of the population has accepted that the creatures on the planet coexist.

Some monsters decide to publicly display their difference in both attempts to lead average lives or to bring in a new breed of counter-culture. Others may choose to hide their differences, taking on different forms or repressing their powers in order to blend in amongst the rest of humanity.

State of The World
Due to the nature of a supernatural entity, one that has powers most humans couldn't dream of harnessing, there are several groups of people who believe that monsters are a threat to their existence as a whole. As several incidents in the past have demonstrated, monsters are fully capable of horrendous acts on a large scale, which leads to racial tensions across the globe. From being treated like second-class citizens in select big cities to facing unfair treatment from other rather close-minded humans, it becomes increasingly clear why some beasts may be less enthusiastic to be public with their true natures. Experiences in the world can vary due to both recent events on the news and the history in an area, so no one situation of possible discrimination is shared between all races, and every person may see monsters differently.

Political Agenda
The surface politics of the world remain similar to eleven years ago, but ever since the large scale assault of the Nakano Empire, the world leaders have been holding formal meetings to discuss the nature of the supernatural and the possible threat they pose. Ideas have gone back and forth since that day, eventually ending in the creation of the MAGNA Initiative. Scheduled for 2040, some of the superpowers have been pushing for an earlier date due to the most recent incident. In many countries around the world, mainly those which hold denser populations, lethal force has been authorized against the supernatural should they show themselves publically. There are many unreported cases of this due to the lack of coverage from the media and denial of Government officials.
