Needless
In the year 2130 — after World War III — large contaminated areas known as Black Spots, sites of bombing, pockmarked the landmasses.
One such area, devastating the centre of Tokyo, was quarantined off by large walls.
Years after the war inhabitants deemed to be "unneeded" started to populate the wasteland.
But among the survivors came forth those who defined themselves by their supernatural abilities — fire, wind, water, gravity, speed, strength, etc.
Fearful of their powers, those in power sought to manipulate and hunt down these Needless.
