Here's an incredibly brief description:
Basically, these people with special birthpowers are created by the government through biological engineering for the purpose of war. Lots of em, like a thousand. Anyways, the war ends, and most of these special people, called Saruko, have children, and..whaddya know! They have the same powers! Anyways, the government makes a special school for them, basically a dorm academy, with basic subjects and unique ones dealing with their Kenki, the strange birthmark/scars on the back of their hands, showing that they are Saruko and also their source of their power.
The Kenki symbol is basically a circle with a triangle in it, the points of the triangle touching the outside of the circle. From these points, arrows come out of the circle and point of in a straight direction away from the circle. Shown below.
As there are three points on a triangl and three arrows, there are three powers for each person, which are introduced over time. The first is realized when the symbol appears during a life threatening situation, usually with the arrow pointing up showing. The up arrow is the strongest power, though it is not always the first to appear. The other arrows appear when the Saruko is in danger, going through trauma, or are in a similar tense situation.
Once the symbol appears, the person discovers they are a Saruko, and are sent off to this academy. Most Saruko parents are ashamed of what they are, but the second generation is finding they are alike, and are accepting themselves. (blah blah)
When using a power, the respective arrow glows....just a note.
Anyways, rumor has it that the government's secret weapon, which became corrupted and was previously believed to be destroyed, is on the loose somewhere. Not much is known about him. This secret weapon has a Kenki on the back of each hand, and one on his forehead. The teachers and headmasters of the academy are of the original generation of Saruko, and in addition to having military training, have most all developed all three arrows. They are set out every now and then to search for this weapon, resulting in them being gone for weeks with no luck, or not returning at all. Not a good thing.
Anyways, that's the main idea so far, I haven't really developed the characters yet, though I want the main character's friend to be crazy and violent, because she's nuts ;D
OK! I've gotten the first couple characters pretty much done.
I actually finished my characters in a roleplay I started based off this idea, so I'll just post them in the character sheet format
Note: Saruko don't have last names. Their parents were in a way, manufactured....
Name: Hiroshi
Age: 13
Appearance: static.flickr.com/11/91413026_c9a688036e_o.jpg
Up Arrow: -
Left Arrow: Spirit Falcon- a piercing glowing bird of pure energy is emitted through Hiroshi's hands.
Right Arrow: -
Personality: Hiroshi is pretty shy, though he really does try to be friendly. He perserveres at nearly everything he does, sometimes causing him to burn out. He is pretty smart, which sometimes works to his advantage.
Other: He is the son of the famed war hero Hitoko, who earned the nickname "Freakish Eagle" for his unpredictable tactics. The teachers, who also fought in the war, recognize him for this.
Name: Atsuko
Age: 13
Appearance: grza.net/GIS/Ninja%20Girl.jpg (but not those clothes)
Up Arrow:-
Left Arrow: Wrist Blades- from the wrist down, a long blade of metal covers Atsuko's hand. Basically looks life her hand has transformed into a big knife.
Right Arrow:-
Personality: Totally psycho, as Hiroshi would explain it. She is violently hyper (), as she likes to swing her Wrist Blades arounds like they were toys. She acts tough, due to her Discovery Incident (the situation that caused the Kenki Symbol to be revealed). She is rather touchy about her past, and would rather pick on Hiroshi. Underneath it all, she's really pretty sensitive.
Other: The professors find promise in her, as her fighting skills are impressive. She has the best grades out of all in Combat class. One of the reasons she and Hiroshi are friends is that they find it cool that their starting arrow was the left, which is not common (about 1/10 of the students). She also has a weird liking for shy kids, though it seems she is one of the few people Hiroshi will openly talk to.
(yeah, those are the rough pictures I used in the roleplay to show what they roughly look like. I'll be drawing them soon, in which case I'll replace the appearance.)
