As tensions between mutants and humans relations threatens to boil over, the government opens an isolated boarding school for mutant teenagers and young adults who, for whatever reason, are unable to handle the general populous.

SETTING

This is no ordinary boarding school.

Each of you has been sent here, either by choice or by the lack of options, to help you control you gifts (or curse depending on your point of view) in the general populous. Located in a rural suburb just outside a small town, you have been effectively isolated.

What fictional suburb is the school located? Name of town? What's in the town? What is the name of the Boarding School?

But in reality, you're here as part of a recruitment drive for a unit designed to stop the next level in terrorism, foreign or domestic, human or mutant. Some of you may already know about this. Some of you suspect something is up. Some of you are blissfully ignorant of it.

But all of you, in some way, shape or form, will eventually be a part of this unit. Lives will be placed on your young, inexperienced shoulders... as no-one else will be able to handle the threats that each of you will encounter...

What is the name of this unit? Is this the first generation, or have there been other failed teams?
