No one remembers how the war started. But everyone knows how it ended. Full out nuclear war. Just as everyone feared. Some called it World War III, others just called it the end of the world. Little did humans know but their war wasn't the only one. Vampires, werewolves, and mutants had to choose their own sides. But few remain now. Out of the ashes of cities those who survived set out to begin again.
Ground Zero. The name given to the area where New York City once stood. Here the new center of society rises. It is the only place in the world where radiation levels are somewhat bearable by the human race. Soon a new power takes control of the city. They simply call themselves The Institute. No one knows who they really are but they offer a promising future. It's quite easy really, modify the human gene to withstand radiation. To add onto that, The Institute shows promising breakthroughs.
Of course. It's too good to be true. These "breakthroughs" don't show the many failures they have. In order to create this perfect human, The Institute has captured countless amounts of humans, vampires, and mutants to test their theories. Painful experimentation and torturous tests.
So are you one of the ignorant living in this New New York, or do you know the horrors of The Institute. Or could you even be one of those captured? Whichever side you choose, it will be a fight until the break of dawn.
