@will30358 has convinced me to reboot this.
In the early 1900s, a virus was created in order to cull the population of the world, a design of one mad Dr. Navix. Before the virus could be perfected, it was released prematurely due to a violent earthquake cased all of the doctor's work to spill upon his floor, before spreading across to nearby population centers then in but a year, infecting the entire world. The Doctor was sadly, or thankfully killed by his creation, but had only somewhat failed to cull the human population. 8% of those infected by the Gene Plague, died while the remaining 91.8% had no effect and were simply carriers. However the remaining .2% were forever changed. During puberty, teenagers who were infected by the Gene Plague had the virus attach to their protein sequences and caused major changes to their DNA creating great mutations practically overnight. While most of the people affected, around 99.7% had mutations that were usually harmless and unnoticeable, a few extra toes or different eye colors, but .3% had mutations that manifested in what can be considered super powers. Some gained bestial traits, others gained the power to control the elements and others still had gained extra ordinary strength and speed.
In this cruel world, these mutants were hunted down and were often taken to be used for the benifit of a select few or kept in cages as collector's items and those were the more lucky ones as the more unfortunate mutants were gathered up by extremists groups and were often executed en mass. It was only due to the intervention of the governments around the world that put an end of these horrendous acts. Mutants with unique powers were quickly isolated from the general populous and were often studied in labs and controlled environments, while a few were rapidly employed by their governments and used in wars against one another. However due to the unpredictable nature and powers of these mutants, casualties of both combatants and civilians skyrocketed as did the structural damages caused by more powerful mutants, the UN had decided to abolish the use of mutants in warfare and simply placed in laws to give the mutants the same rights and protections as the general people.
After several decades mutants were still being found, usually at random and the original mutant population had nearly died out. A new generation had come around and while mutants were still persecuted, there are programs and private organizations who are slowly changing this. One of which is known as Aorki Academy for a Better Future. This Academy takes students who are at least 15 years of age, and train them to control and use their powers for the benefit of humanity as real world superheroes. The Academy also provides them with everything they need to blossom as individuals and give them the best in education, as the Academy does provide high school and college level education.
Right now the college is only allowed, by the UN to take in at MOST 10 students and after a difficult process they were able to find the most suitable candidates and perhaps not a moment too soon. Around the world mutants had been disappearing from their homes and from public areas, and there has been whispers of a top secret government project involving them....but all that is nothing more then rumors...right?

In this world mutants can have any sort of power, fire manipulation, shape shifting, consume concrete and spit it out of their finger tips etc. Let your minds roam free, just make sure your powers are at least on par with everyone else and try not to make them too much weaker or stronger then everyone else.
