Somewhere in an alternate cosmos a species branched away from the common Man. They developed genetic mutations which became rapidly encoded in the following generation. These mutations developed into physical attributes or some considered to be more on the super natural scale.
The first, second and third generations were greeted with out-right prejudice, which is, after all, only human nature. Fear of the unknown. These freaks became known as the Gifted. A slang term that had once been given to the brightest of human kind became an ugly, bitter word. Suppressed and sparse they sought each other out at the lowest totems in society. As time progressed, however, their abilities were noticeably useful. Slowly the fear became dependance and Gifteds could successfully integrate back into the general populace.
The culture that developed held these Gifteds to a higher standard than average men, and thus institutes sparked up in all corners of the globe. Graduates of the institutes go on to work against crime or in the fields of humanitarian rights. These places encourage strong morals and teach their pupils the importance of unity. These students learn in teams of varying size and are judged harshly on their failures and successes.
Enter, Apollo Academy. We are the limit.
The Gifted students here compete against each other in school-wide games and challenges as teams. They are provided with dorms, roaming courtyards, and high-end educational classes. Life here is no swim around the rock. The students are expected to exceed and are pushed to the highest of their limitations.
Of course no ideals can go unchallenged. There are other 'Gifteds" who are disgusted with the course of history. They still hold a huge resentment against the human race for shunning them. They have created their own under-ground cultures that are fester pots of hate and ignorance.
It is believed that they have made their own schools, branding their own morals into the minds of their students. They consider Gifteds who work for the government and places such as Apollo Academy a high, unforgivable crime. And they will stop at nothing to deal out their own particular brand of justice.
