Once upon a time, someone wasn't accepted.
This is a universal story. Being different from society. And when you're different, you feel different. A cold, hateful thing seeps into your bones, and it makes you want to curl up into a ball or hide in a corner and never come out. You know the feeling, I can see it in your eyes. When you're different, no one cares. Your pleas, your screams, your tears; they fall onto deaf ears. Either be like everyone else, or basically die.
Once upon a time, someone tried to change that.
Father, is what we call the man who is the founder and leader of our outcast society. He's a kind and caring man, who is sometimes to nice for his own good. A long time ago, before you and I were born, he was a great doctor, and he liked to help people. But he was done a great wrong. Because he tried to help someone lower than him, he got blacklisted. Father lost his job, his home, his life. But soon he met others like himself; people who were different, and infected in the eyes of perfect society. And so, with his new outcasted friends, they claimed the tunnels under New York City.
Akuseputo is a place where people can be accepted for who they are. After many tests and trials, you can become part of our cozy community of labyrinth tunnels, magnificent waterfalls, and steamy pipes. There aren't many of us here; about 100 or so, with new people coming and some leaving every year. We are so close-knit it is amazing. But our community couldn't work without the helpers-people who live above the tunnels and keep our secret, while providing us with some of the things we need and can't get while we're down here.
Once upon a time, someone tried to stop us.
There's a man, we don't know where he is now, but he is called Paracelsus. He was once a part of our community, but after awhile, he started to hunger. Hunger for power, power for himself and power over Akuseputo. Even though he was a good friend of Father's, Father kicked him out. Paracelsus was so mad, he vowed for his revenge. We don't know where he is now, but he is thirsting for revenge. We must keep watch over our shoulders.
So now, will you help us? We must make sure the Government does not find out about us, and we can't allow Paracelsus to take over. We need all the help we can get, because
Once upon a time is now.
