You’re Marked, different. The lines that appeared on your skin set you apart from everyone else, but they were just a hint of the truth. It wasn’t long before your superpower followed. It’s awesome and terrifying in equal measures - you don’t know what you’re capable of, and you’re not sure how to control it.
You didn’t ask for this, but that doesn’t seem to matter. Some people see you as a danger, others as a freak. They’re scared of who you are and what you can do. But you’re not alone. There’s a school you can go to, where the teachers are just like you, where you can learn to use your powers safely.
For years, Mistry Academy has been a home for the Marked amidst the rising tide of hatred, but now even this safe haven seems to be at risk. You’ll play the school’s superpowered staff and students through a time of tremendous upheaval, and your choices will affect the future of the Marked everywhere.
