After the Age Of The Living Machines came to pass, the world was never the same. With the passing of time, humanity evolved along with everything else. Rian lived in a world where everyone had special abilities. Some saw it as a curse, others, a gift from the Code of Transmutation, the very thing which brought about the Age of the Living Machines. They were called 'Specialties'. Everyone specialised in something. Be it Metal Manipulation, High Regeneration, or Electrokinesis, humanity had changed, both physically and psychologically as well. Society had to adapt to such changes along with what few remnants of the old world, of course, others took this as an opportunity to do as they wished, bringing about the need for Enforcers, individuals who fought against such criminals and villains within the cities. On the other end of the spectrum, much of the world had changed vastly, the once familiar countries and homes to the people now a hostile wasteland filled with unknown horrors and machines. Foragers spend the majority of their lives out in these unfamiliar lands, salvaging and exploring the remnants of humanity and what has become of it. Studying at the prestigious Academy along with her companions, Rian strives to be both a Forager and an Enforcer, a task deemed tough by many, but it was not an impossibility. Not to her. But as new, unknown threats arise, both from within the cities and those that come from the wastelands, one thing is clear: The world was no longer what it once was.
