All is peaceful here in Franklin County. Until the bombs. In this time of crisis, as sensible people become paranoid, personal agendas take over and well-kept secrets threaten to be revealed, some people will find an inner strength they never knew they had, and the most unlikely heroes will emerge. As a mushroom cloud appears on the horizon, the town is thrown into a frenzy and police try to keep order in the face of the unthinkable. The fear and panic that begins to grip the town is palpable — each person dealing with it differently.
How would you react if you knew there was a nuclear strike not far from where you lived? You are cut off from the rest of the world, there is no new information coming in, and then the more immediate threat kicks in.
Were you safe at home? Were you driving, flying somewhere else? With the knowledge that you have your life and nothing else, what will you do? What side will you fight on when war inevitably breaks out?
The question is, where do you fall in this new world? Will you fight on honors side, or fight against everything you know to be right. The choice is yours. This is Franklin, a place survivors gather to try and rebuild.
Franklin County is unabashedly based on the plot of the ill-fated CBS show, Jericho. We do not claim any ownership to the premise, or any of the major plot points we hit. We're just fans. Nerdy fans who make no apologies. |

The mutant gene popped up unexpectedly in 1999 though some would argue it began in 2000. For a while, maybe a year or so this had gone unnoticed but it was only for so long that something so spectacular could go unnoticed. It was in Wisconsin a boy by the name of Sammy Johnson had been spotted flying above his house by one of his neighbors. Immediately the neighbor had done the most logical thing she could do, inform the police. The police investigated, but the boy (and his parents) could not prove anything about this supposed ability of flight. Then, not even a week later a girl was caught turning invisible, another girl was creating acidic poisons with her hands and a newly wed couple was controlling and creating fire. Naturally, the Government had to get involved.
They'd gone to these homes and these families to question them about their abilities, and after much deliberating and time the first mutant hospital was created in 2002. Immediately these people were shipped away to the hospital for testing. The term "mutant" had been coined and was quickly applied to anybody who possessed powers. With the knowledge of these mutants out, the human race was now growing to understand the real term of fear. What were these mutants capable of, what were they going to do to the regular humans that didn't possess these powers? continue

“ . . . All that was left in Pandora’s box was hope.” Humanity believed itself to be alone, but in the 21st century it discovered otherwise. A global pandemic swept over the world and decimated the population. Due to its devastating nature, they dubbed it the “Pandora virus.” Biological terrorism was blamed, and nation stood against nation as a worldwide war began. The earth was laid to waste in just a handful of months by nuclear war and the Pandora virus. War revealed an ancient secret, though. Humans were not alone. Other creatures inhabited this planet along with them, hiding in the shadows for centuries. Praeternaturals, they were — supernatural beings believed to be nothing more than myth, but they were very real.
The upper-hand belonged to the praeternaturals. They possessed biological immunity to the Pandora virus and learned of what was to come through the oracle, Euryale. They built safe havens across the world, taking in as many humans and praeternaturals as possible before the war. One such safe haven is an ancient land once inhabited by life, but abandoned by it long ago, and renovated into a sanctuary. They call it Elysium. Located in the modern-day Republic of Macedonia near Lake Ohrid, it was once a part of Greece. Along with the rest of the havens, it provided a stable living environment for the survival of all species, and for months the peace has been kept.
All of that is about to change. Something dark has amassed upon the horizon, drawing ever closer to the haven of Elysium. Things were left behind in the wastelands beyond the havens that neither the war nor Pandora has managed to destroy. Even now, it crosses the ocean. Eventually, it will reach Elysium and come knocking on the haven’s door — and the perfect world the haven has built will go crumbling to the ground.
Welcome to Elysium. We promise you’ll be safe. |
