Contractors. Powerful beings with unworldly powers, granted to them at the cost of the stars in the night sky. These new beings were granted a contract; a power with a price. Two years after the stars disappeared this new species of human took a stand, seeming to be inhumane and cruel. Contractors had no conscience, and without that they were cold-blooded killers, willing to do or kill anything if that were the more logical course of action.
Alongside the birth of Contractors, two fixtures appeared on the earth at exact polar opposites of one another; Heaven's Gate and Hell's Gate. The exact nature of these gates are unknown, other than they are in some way linked to the existence of contractors. Heaven's Gate is located in South America, whereas Hell's gate is in the heart of Tokyo. Heaven's Gate and Hell's Gate both have a large wall encasing them, preventing outsiders to enter them. The walls appear to to look like the sky, changing as the sky changes.
In those two years the world was chaotic. Contractors were forced to serve the military and other organizations, although most went willingly. They left their homes and families without a second thought, not caring for those who loved them. It left a deep, tragic, scar along the world's surface. Human's mourned for the loss of their loved ones as if they had died even though they still lived. Becoming a Contractor was treated like a disease by most people. Becoming one meant nothing better than death.
Seven years have past since Contractors rose from the stolen stars. In the most recent years contractors seemed to change. They went from cold-blooded killers to normal people who want nothing more than to lead the life they lead before they made their contracts. Now contractors are rallying against the infringement of their rights. They want to live just as other people, normally. Japan has acted first. They have separated three districts of the Saitama Prefecture and declared that all contractors who want for a normal life to go there and start over.
