In the distant future, war and pollution had greatly terraformed the earth, mutating almost all creatures. Humanity has retreated to a safe haven known as Emberfall.
Years later, through experiments, scientists came up with the Ashborn; genetically-modified individuals resulting from genes discovered in creatures in wastelands known as the ashthat take up missions concerning Emberfall's safety.
One Ashborn discovers that he responds faster to enhancements compared to others. As his powers grow everyday, he begins to fall out with government, who see him as a threat.
