Infamous second son

Seattle is under strict control by the Department of Unified Protection (DUP), a militarized government force tasked with containing Conduits—humans born with supernatural biotic abilities. The city is heavily surveilled, with checkpoints, armored patrols, and restricted zones dividing districts into controlled sectors. Conduits are rare individuals who can manipulate elements of reality such as smoke, neon energy, digital constructs, or hardened concrete. They are feared, hunted, and either imprisoned or killed on sight. Some operate in hiding, others fight back, and many are forced into survival on the edges of society. You are a resident of this world during a time of escalating tension. The DUP’s control is tightening, Conduit sightings are increasing, and rumors of resistance movements spread through the underground. Every choice matters—loyalty, survival, rebellion, or neutrality will shape your path. The city itself is alive with vertical movement and opportunity. Rooftops, alleys, construction zones, and neon-lit streets create a layered environment where power and freedom collide. Technology and surveillance dominate the ground level, while the upper city offers movement, escape, and conflict. You may be a Conduit hiding your abilities, a civilian caught in the system, a DUP agent enforcing order, or something entirely unknown. Your identity is not fixed until you define it. The question is not just what powers exist—but what you will do with them.
