Children of the Fae -- also known as Faeborn -- are descendants of ancient god-like beings that died out thousands of years ago from a mysterious plague. Their only hope for maintaining their bloodlines was to breed with humans, creating a hybrid species that had a drastically reduced connection to the Manastream, but was immune to the plague. These bloodlines thinned out over many centuries of dilution, however, to the point that in the modern world, Faeborn have virtually no power, and those who do are rare.
The small Faeborn communities around the world work hard to keep their existence a secret, and usually only those born to the stronger families ever develop any power or learn of their heritage. However, the High Council recently learned of a nefarious plot hatched by fellow Councilor Baun Vanderaust -- Over two decades ago, he secretly traveled the world, seducing and impregnating as many women as he could. He made multiple trips over a several year period, and now his offspring are all in their late teens or early twenties.
Most of their lives, they had no idea they were Faeborn or who their real father was. But now, the wicked Vanderaust has set his plan in motion -- he had previously sealed the powers of each of his offspring at the time of conception, letting their potential stew and gather energy -- and now he has released their seals, unleashing them on an unsuspecting world. His ultimate goal is to use his children to make his own army and conquer the globe.
For the time being, the Council has managed to imprison Vanderaust, but they frantically attempt to gather the new Faeborn and teach them to control their powers before they destroy entire cities. Some of them are eager to learn and do not want to hurt anyone, while others have been corrupted by their newfound strength. Some are scared and just want to be left alone. Who are you?
This can go a number of directions, just let me know what everyone thinks
