Welcome to the Lockdown

The city of Haven is beautiful and a ritch cultural point of the country. Things seem quiet and peaceful, but there is more going on below the surface. A special force of the military, known only by the name CRONOS has been watching Haven for awhile without many knowing about it. Haven seems to be a center for unusual or odd energy readings, coming from various places and people within the city. It is believed the energy is there from a fracture between this world and another that has laid under the city for centuries. There have been incidents with places and people who have been "infected" with this energy, in which CRONOS has stepped in and taken control, covering it up. It seems however, more and more incidents are begining to pop up, leading CRONOS to believe that this energy is harmful to people, and causes them to slowly lose their minds over time, endangering themselves and others around them. The energy and abilities that sprout with being exposed to it, seem to be connected to something within the people's lives at the time or the place where they were exposed. In one case, a swimmer came into contact with the energy in a lake over a period of time, causing him to gain the ability to breath underwater, and to swim at inhumane speeds. He was responsible for the drownings of fifteen people. There are various levels and ranks that CRONOS classifies these people as. The incidents and the growth in infected people as well as the severity of cases that have begun to pop up, have caused CRONOS to be pushed into action. A blockade has been placed all around the city, completely cutting it off from the outside world. No one gets in or out without passing through one of the checkpoints. CRONOS has plans to stop this incident before it spreads, which means erraticating all those who are infected with this strange energy. They have sensors, which measure the level of this energy given off from a being's body, and will bring them in or kill them on sight depending. It is beginning to affect plant and animal life as well, causing the city to become in a state of quarenteen and lockdown. No communication with the outside world at all, police patrols and armed guards everywhere. Food is being delivered and handed out as needed, but how long can the peace remain as fear of the unknown reasons fot this lockdown, and the odd occurances with the energy begin to rise. Who will be left standing in the end?

Factions:

The Infected- Beings who have come into contact with the mysterious energy located in various parts of Haven. They gain strange abilities connected to where they were or what they were doing when the main infection took hold. They follow a type and rank system of CRONOS. The energy has proven to break down one's mental state over time, causing them to go mad in the end. It is infecting plants and animals now as well. The cause of the lockdown, and to either be studdied or to be killed on sight by CRONOS.

CRONOS- A mysterious military type organization, who has been watching Haven for quite some time. They are ment to contain and control the outbreaks of infected caused by the energy, and deal with situations that result. They are studdying it, unable to find a cure, they have issued a lock down as well as the "erratication" of infected. It is unknown if they plan to allow anyone to truly ever leave the lockdown. They control the blockade as well as the checkpoints and the resources coming in and out of the city.

Innocence- People who have not been infected. They may be working for CRONOS, or simply caught in the crossfire. They have the choice to help infected, or to standby and watch. It is unknown if they will be safe or survive the lockdown.

Ranks:

D- Rank D is the lowest rank of the system. These are Infected with powers that are not deemed to harmful, or those who can not do much physical damage at all. They are considered to be not to heavily infected, so are not always easy to track down, since they do not give off high levels of the energy.
EX: Enhanced basic senses.

C- Rank C is the second lowest rank. The infected in this rank, are considered to be remote harm and danger to opperations, as well as to people around them. They are usually the rank that is caught most to be brought in for testing and observation, in search of a cure.
EX: Breath underwater, See through walls, Telepathy, Level readers.

B- Rank B is the second highest rank. These infected are cause for guard, and have abilities that have been labled as a threat. They give off higher levels of the energy, and are typically the ones most seen within the lockdown next to rank C. They are deemed to be brought in or brought down. Their infection is stronger then both C and D.
EX: Telekenetic, Element Control, Strength, Speed.

A- Rank A is the highest rank, as well as the rarest. These beings are considered the highest infected, and tend to be the ones who's infections deterioration period excells faster then others. Their powers are considered a high threat, most being deemed a kill on sight, and require severe caution or force.
EX: Poison, Shapeshifting, Induce physical or mental pain (to the point of death), Posession/Body hopping.

So this is kind of a teaser and an intrest thing, until I get the thread up. You can reserve a power here, as well as ask questions for now if needed. I will give the rank of your character if it is an infected, depending on the power so do not worry about that. So..there is the idea.
