About forty-four years before the start of the RP, a group of teenagers found out that they all had special abilities. They banded together and formed a group called the Guardians, hoping to somehow use these abilities to help others. There were complications, of course, mostly because no one wanted them around. They were known as 'freaks' and 'witches,' among other things. Also, there was another group, known as the Ukwtakun (named after a legendary demigod whose howling signifies the approach of death and destruction), who were determined to use their own abilities for evil. The Guardians ended up encountering the Ukwtakun quite often, and the two groups became enemies, fighting every time they came in contact with each other. Because of this, the Guardians built a machine known as the "Door of Truth." Every new recruit was required to enter the machine, where all their memories—good and bad—would be brought to light. Thus, if any spies from the Ukwtakun tried to become Guardians, they would know and be able to properly deal with them.
Due to the severity of their treatment by the outside world, the Guardians eventually became more of an underground group, and kept growing year after year until they numbered over five hundred. They trained new members to use their powers, and eventually even added martial arts and military skills training. Certain members were high ranking officers in the military, and they eventually became a sort of special ops group, known to almost no one.
In present times, the Guardians recruit mostly young children and teens. These children attend a school of sorts, where they are taught all the main subjects, plus various other classes (martial arts, battle tactics, etc.). When they reach the age of 13, the children go to basic training (if they are recruited after the age of 13, they go there automatically). After completing basic training, they are rewarded the rank of Junior Agent. (Before this, the children are merely considered trainees.) Their new rank is symbolized by their receiving a wristband with stripes and stars depicting their rank. Each time an agent receives a new rank, they get stripes added to their wristbands.
In addition to being required to wear the wristband, all agents are required to wear a uniform unless they are in their dorm rooms or the pool/gym area. These uniforms consist of BDU pants, combat boots, and t-shirts (white for trainees and forest green for agents). When on missions, agents usually wear normal, every-day clothes.
