SO WHAT IS HELL EXACTLY ?

Most dictionaries that you can actually find nowadays seem to point you in only one direction; but what one is it? Good or bad? Ding ding ding, we have a winner. Yes, it is most certainly a bad thing... For example, this rotted old thing defines hell as the place or state of punishment of the wicked after death; the abode of evil and condemned spirits.

After death? Punishment of the wicked? Condemned spirits? My ass. extreme disorder or confusion; chaos. Hmmm...now that sounds about right. We're living in our own personal hell right now, and guess what? None of us are actually dead, damn it. And whose fault is it? Our's. That's right; its our own fault that we've ended up here... But to put it as lightly as words can express, everyone, we're all damned; bang! Blown right out of the water...and no one ever even saw it coming. Except maybe Stanton Industries, the corporation that started it all when they created the issue in the first place.

The year was 2012--you know, the year that everyone had been shouting and screaming about for years anyway thanks to that old mayan end of the world thing... A twenty-eight year old chemist working at one of the largest corporations in the world created a virus that caught her boss's attention right from the start. It may have been accidental, but it ended up being confiscated by Stanton Industries founder and chief, who then fired the afore-mentioned chemist, Anna Kane, and began selling out the virus to multiple countries. But every plan has a slip in the line, right?

One of those buyers let the virus get out and it swiftly covered the planet, infecting and mutating the genes of almost fifteen percent of the world's total population... Everything from there sort of fell out and swirled down the drains of that old proverbial toilet. Pretty soon, World War III had started up, and there were somehow very few alliances left around to tip the balance in anyone's favor. Everyone wanted to kill off everyone else... The infected people, or mutants, across the globe were forced into hiding away and cowering from their fates, and those who remained human began to seek them out with the wish to either kill them or seize and use their powers for themselves.

Stanton Industries brought these most violent of people together, promising them wealth and power of unimaginable proportions just for funding experimentations on those with altered genes...and they all went for it. Within a month's time, the main new york labratory was converted for this very purpose and anyone with altered DNA patterns who had not escaped into hiding was taken captive, tested on mercilessly, and then disposed of in one of two ways. Some were killed off and had their bodies burned and thrown in oceans, while others were distributed as slaves and property to humans who supported--or at least seemed to support--Stanton's cause.

And miss Anna Kane...remember her, the lowly little chemist who started all of this nonsense in the first place? Yeah, well it turns out that she really did feel pretty shitty about her mistake. She took one vial that she had hidden from her collegues and injected herself with the virus, changing herself into one of the mutants who were being forced into hiding all over the world; but she knew that they were stronger than that, if she could just get them to band together and work as one...if she could just show them how powerful they were and that there was strength in numbers... She set off immediately on her vigilante mission, starting and gathering up an army of her own bent on fighting back against all odds...

The year is now 2015 and Anna has mysteriously disappeared, leaving all of her followers without a clue as to how to defend themselves all over again. How will so many people from different backgrounds and belief systems who would have hated themselves at any other time learn to work together as a collective when there is so much standing in their way?

And even more importantly: what side will you take in this hell-like business? Will you seek out royalty with the upper class residents of the world and assist in hunting down those who are different from you, or will you find pity with those mutated individuals and seek to help their cause? Will you choose to shed the blood of the masses in an outbreak far worse even than the holocaust itself, or will you seek to alleviate the troubles of this harshened world? Make your choice quickly, now, because this will be our downfall.

A twenty-eight year old chemist working at one of the largest corporations in the world created a virus that caught her boss's attention right from the start. It may have been accidental, but it ended up being confiscated by the Stanton Industries founder and chief, who then fired the afore-mentioned chemist, Anna Kane, and began selling out the virus to multiple countries. Indiscreetly, of course, they didn't want the bleeding hearts in office to get wind of their activities. But every plan has a slip in the line, right?

One of those buyers let the virus get out and it swiftly covered the planet, infecting and mutating the genes of almost fifteen percent of the world's total population... Everything from there sort of fell out and swirled down the drains of that old proverbial toilet. Pretty soon, World War III had started up, and there were somehow very few alliances left around to tip the balance in anyone's favor. Everyone wanted to kill off everyone else and after that killing urge wore off the next depression hit. The infected people, or 'mutants', across the globe were forced into hiding away and cowering from their fates, and those who remained human began to seek them out with the wish to either kill them or seize and use their powers for themselves. Very few people actually wanted to help.

Stanton Industries, wanting to right this wrong and earn themselves some more of the green stuff, brought these most violent of people together, promising them wealth and power of unimaginable proportions just for funding experimentations on those with altered genes...and they all went for it. Within a month's time, the main new york labratory was packed up and moved to Venescence, California for this very purpose and anyone with altered DNA patterns who had not escaped into hiding was taken captive, tested on mercilessly, and then disposed of in one of two ways. Some were killed off and had their bodies burned and disposed of, while others were distributed as slaves and property to humans who supported--or at least seemed to support--Stanton's cause. Unfortunately for Stanton Industries not all mutants were running scared.

Anna Kane, remember her, the lowly little chemist who started all of this nonsense in the first place? Yeah, well it turns out that she really did feel pretty shitty about her mistake. She took one vial that she had hidden from her collegues and injected herself with the virus, changing herself into one of the mutants who were being forced into hiding all over the world but not before playing a little trick on her dear old boss. Anna Kane completely wiped out all forms of the virus' make-up by transferring a computer virus into every single network around the world that had any connection to Stanton Industries - legal or not - and destroyed the blue prints needed to perfectly make the virus. As for her new fellow mutants she knew exactly how to help them. She knew that they were stronger than Stanton believed, and if she could just get them to band together and work as one...if she could just show them how powerful they were and that there was strength in numbers... She set off immediately on her vigilante mission, starting and gathering up an army of her own bent on fighting back against all odds...

The year is now 2042 and Anna Kane has fully succeeded in building a rebel army, but now, at age fifty-eight, she's not as young as she once was and has now put the charge of her brothers' and sisters' well-beings into the hands of her younger half-brother Adam Kane. The fight is still going strong, but a sort of monarchy has been put into place and the wealthy are the only ones who prosper in the world along with those who work for Stanton Industries and all small companies connected to them. But this small time of 'peace' is about to be broken and that place called Hell is going to be making a large come back.


But, more importantly: what side will you take in this hell-like business? Will you seek out royalty with the upper class residents of the world and assist in hunting down those who are different from you, or will you find pity with those mutated individuals and seek to help their cause? Will you choose to shed the blood of the masses in an outbreak far worse even than the holocaust itself, or will you seek to alleviate the troubles of this harshened world? Make your choice quickly, now, because this will be our downfall.
