Introducing the world and the teams

This is horribly oversimplified, but here we go:

The year is 2035. The world has recovered from the after-effects of a world-wide catastrophe that happened in the 1960s that caused massive natural disasters that has rearranged the face of the globe. This catastrophe is known as the Restructuring. To make up for the lack of land, people now live in cities in the air and sea; there are also seven space satellites, each controlled and run by a different nation. During the Restructuring was the return of the ancient gods, largely known by their Greek names. There are two races, Homo sapien and Homo superum, where the superum make up almost 95% of the population of the world. People are born with powers and abilities and it is accepted as normal. Some sapiens, however, fight against what they see as a methodical genocide by the superum and are labeled as terrorists who seek to destroy the peace and utopia nature of the world.

While there are multiple teams of super crime fighters with costumes and masks (yes, superheroes) throughout the world and different countries have their own, there are two global teams: the Alliance and the Squad. The Alliance is the police force that combats threats that are too big for the individual country squads, meaning they deal with global, transdimensional, and intergalactic threats. The team resides in a tower in the sky. The Alliance is complied of the best of the best, devoting years of their lives to the protection and safety of all.

The Squad is like a miniature version of the Alliance, made up of teens and young adults who want to make a difference in the world. Those invited onto the Squad are given a first-rate education and are given the chance to join protection squads for other nations or even join the Alliance. The Squad's Compound is located on the floating ocean city of Argyre where they take up half the city.

While the world seems perfect and like a futuristic utopia, it is only that on the surface. There are criminals and murderers in this world, imbued with powers, who do their best to knock the status quo of perfection and stability. They form the criminal organization known as the Cabal. There is a different threat, a darker one, that almost no one is aware of. Underneath lurks a darkness that the lead members of the Alliance go out of their way to shield everyone, even others on the Alliance, from. They are a shadow organization, sapiens, that are extremely well-connected and seemingly benign, spread throughout the entire world and perfectly poised to destroy the world as it has been known since the Restructuring first happened.
