Long ago...
A group of men working together uncovered an ancient technological artifact. By its marvelous make and strange aura, the artifact clearly showed inhuman origins. The men analyzed this artifact, discovering its secrets. As they delved deeper, they began to change. To develop abilities that normal humans simply did not have. To fly. To heal. To burn.
The men became thrilled at their new powers. Some insisted that they use them for the benefit of all mankind. Others maintained that it should be used to rule man. The men began to fight with one another.
However, their development hadn't gone unnoticed. The sleeping world, the world of the supernatural, began to slowly awaken. These marvelous beasts of ancient myth began interacting with the men. Several were displeased, many clamored for the death of the men. War would ensue.
In the end, four would step forward with a solution. The men would establish a secret facility, located where humans would least expect it. This facility would serve to train the men, and any descendants who inherited the marvelous power. It would be kept secret from the world at large.
The supernatural beings agreed to this compromise, willing even to send their own members to train. Everything looked to be perfectly harmonious...

...in Recent days
The Academy has flourished since its founding centuries ago. Of course, it had to be moved several times in order to not be discovered, and now is nestled in the middle of the United States. Its students come from all over the world to learn of their new abilities. Or, in the case of more supernatural beings, simply to interact with the unique beings.
For only the descendants of the original men were allowed. Only they are naturally born with the wondrous powers.
Naturally born.
But recently, a family of criminals have encountered the Gifted Ones. They began analyzing their blood, using science to uncover the mysterious effects.
Of course, the Law will not stand for that. The Shadow Police investigate the family, and are also uncovering the mysteries of the world. In fact, they might just have some Gifted Ones among them.
