Homo habilis. Homo ergaster. Homo erectus. Homo antecessor. Homo heidelbergensis. Homo sapiens.
Evolution doesn't stop here.
Homo superior, the evolutionary progeny of the human, Homo sapiens. Known more widely as the mutant, Homo superior differs from the human in one way only: the presence of a gene named X by scientists and research fellows. However, while the difference in genetic make up may seem insignificant, the X-gene is anything but.
The X-gene itself is something of a mystery. Like other genetic coding, it is often prominent through family lines. It is thought that this might be related to other parts of the genetic code, but as siblings have shown to have entirely different powersets, this is debatable. The mutations themselves differ widely; some mutants have little power but extreme physical mutations, whereas others are almost like gods in their abilities.
At the Xin Qian Institute for Higher Learning, named after none other than the first mutant herself, is where newly-manifested mutants go in order to learn about their powers, how to deal with them and utilise them in their fields of interest, and furthermore, to be in a safe environment while learning about them.
This is the story of that school.
