All Heroes Go To Hell: "In the Beginning..." Part 1
In 1901, the first human with an Alpha Gene was born. After that, every human was born with an Alpha Gene. This gene grants humans 1 to 2 random abilities. By 1950, humans with an Alpha Gene, by then called Alpha-Gifted, outnumbered normal humans 5:2. The advent of the Alpha-Gifted led to the technological advancement of the human race. The internet was invented in 1936. The first manned space exhibitions began in 1939. By 1955, world hunger was solved, and the infant mortality rate was 0.01%.
The Central Powers, a secret government group consisting of Germany, the U.S., Japan, Nigeria, China, Russia (then USSR), Saudi Arabia, Iran, India, and Brazil, secretly began Project Q in 1949. The primary objective: create the world’s first - and only - quantum supercomputer in order to predict the emergence of dangerous Alpha Abilities and the eventuality of the Omega Gene. The Alpha Gene is quantum in nature. The presence of one brought about the proliferation of the gene. As more Alpha-Gifted began to reproduce, the probability that an Omega Gene - which is theorized to allow the capability of any power - increases each time a person is born. These governments knew they needed to control the Omega Gene to hinder any possible takeover from a stateless entity.
Project Q was multi-pronged: 1) create a quantum supercomputer to complete its two tracking tasks, 2) suppress the quantum supercomputer research of other governmental groups by any means necessary, and 3) manage the rise of Alpha-Gifted agents, or AGAs.
The Central Powers began to see a rise of AGAs assisting in advanced research, and so, Project Q’s first subdivision was born in 1951 called the Central Hub of Alpha-Gifted (C.H.A.G.). Using the A-G Leveling System invented by the first known Alpha Genius, C.H.A.G. began a world wide catalogue of AGAs for recruitment purposes, called The Registry. The public prestige of C.H.A.G. lured many AGAs away from government researching and into direct - albeit secret - control under the Central Powers. Publicly, C.H.A.G. is responsible for the capture or elimination of maleficent AGAs, of which there are plenty. In reality, C.H.A.G. serves the purpose of experimentation, imprisonment, and torture of AGAs ranging from truly evil actors to Alpha Geniuses the Central Powers deem dangerous. The Central Powers pushed for the UN to adopt the SAGA Charter in 1954, which defines repeatedly violent AGAs as “Stateless Alpha-Gifted Agents”. This effectively strips the human rights of anyone given this title. Statelessness became entangled with the Alpha Gene; therefore, all stateless individuals suffered from the SAGA Charter. The SAGA Charter guarantees the rights to identity and state-controlled housing, but restricts travel, employment, and education since these funds are better spent on compliant AGA citizens.
C.H.A.G. required all Alpha Abilities to be registered. Failure to do so was met with capture. Most people captured were never seen again.
