New York City, once a thriving city that spanned for several miles. A sky line that everyone knew very well. But one day a siren went off. Everyone knew what to do and proceeded to the nearest shelter. Planes flew over head and dropped bomb after bomb onto the city. Some people were unlucky and were killed in the blasts. A good percentage of those who survived after the bombs had ended were affected by the radiation that was produced by the bombs. They crawled around in agony for weeks. Some of those people died. The rest mutated, not in the way of growing extra limbs. But they mutated into something much better. They developed powers, mental and physical powers. There were some who had side effects thought, like a drainage of life energy every time they used their powers. Others had side effects like a weakness to the sun, they wore cloaks and dark clothing. They became like cave dwellers and resided in alleys and buildings. Others wore cloaks so they could hide some of the skin effects it had, such as minor discoloration, dead skin in parts, peeling skin and rashes. But a lot of them went on with no side effects. All of these supernaturals had one major thing to identify them with. Their eyes had a gloss like look, it coated their eyes and shined bright in dark places. The color varied from person to person but it was a trait carried by all.
The other percentage of the population was normal humans with side effects from the bombing such as respiration problems, epilepsy and conditions as such. For 5 years the humans and supernaturals, or the Dalit, as they became known, meaning children of God, lived together in peace. But eventually some Dalit started going missing and it wasn't for a year until everyone found out that human scientists had been experimenting on the Dalit. All of the Dalit that were experimented on died. This caused an outrage of the Dalit. But weeks later the humans found out that the Dalit were experimenting on humans, most died but the others were tortured and warped beyond all recognition and ended up killing themselves when they were released. This caused an outrage in the humans and the Dalit and humans separated and went to different parts of the city. The humans, not wanting to war with the Dalit any more than they were, went to the slums. The Dalit on the other hand stayed in the nicer areas of the city.
The Dalit eventually realized they knew more about technology than they did before the bombings, about 1,000 years more advanced technology. They built their part of the city accordingly. The began to consider themselves the next evolutionary step from the humans and also thought of themselves as they future of mankind. They became to call themselves Homo Beatus, Blessed Man, Homo Deus, Godlike Man, there was much consideration of this and eventually they brought themselves into a sub species. Just as humans were classified as Homo Sapiens Sapiens, or Wise Wise Man, the Dalit classified themselves as Homo Beatus Deus. Or Blessed Godlike Man. They began to think more logically and rationally, although they kept their human emotions, they developed their own religion, government, style of art etc. They became a fully advanced race and they cut off all communication with the outside world. They built a wall around their section of the city, which they completely rebuilt into their vision. Although the wall prevented any means of entry into their part of the city, they overlooked the sewers, Subways stations, and maintenance tunnels which permitted access into both sides of the city. This is what would result into the disappearances of humans. They were found and captured and experimented on. They never returned. Humans began to fear the Dalit and avoided them. The world was peaceful once more, but the Dalit council was planning on the invasion of the slums and human infested areas to gain more land. Although it hasn't happened and no news has leaked out about it it will come one day, and no one knows when. Meanwhile the humans continued to live their life as they have for the past 15 years since the bombings ended and the wall separating the two races into their own parts of the city was built.
