Kiba-9

Welcome to Kiba-9. "Contra omnem iniustitiam. Against all injustice."

January 1st, 2000. Nuclear power plants around the world destabilized. Several erupted in a wave that rolled across the earth. What followed was 5 months of hell.

Earthquakes tore the ground apart and brought buildings to their foundation, traveling the equator. Oceans poured into cities in walls of water, volcanoes rained fire on villages and burst from the seas. Wind ripped from the sky and tilled the world where people slept.

Millions died.

On the day the nations of the world gathered to a solution to mother nature's hell on earth, it came to an abrupt end.

Darkness swallowed the sun in the clearest of skies. Red hues spilled over the world and a chill broke through the air. As the sky exploded, pustules burst open and spilled a heavy fog of black glittered with red sparks. Thick as molasses it trickled over the world, engulfing everything and everyone.

Days later, the fog vanished and the holes closed. People woke among bodies twisted in horror and drained of life. Children and the elderly were among the highest casualties.

When the shock wore off, the survivors realized their lives and their bodies had forever changed.

Agonizing nightmares plagued them for weeks. Deprived of sleep, they became unstable. Red sparks broke off their skin like glitter on fire. Tempers raged, tastes changed, senses heightened. Chaos ensued. Those in power struggled to get themselves and their people under control.

When the first tear opened again after 3 months, instead of a fog of death, monsters escaped. Adrenaline rose. Some humans burst into the sparks and were swallowed in darkness, becoming another monster in the abyss, while others found themselves empowered. The first demonstrations of their changes came from fear.

30 years later, the order of the world has fell into place. Advancements in science and technology have returned. Tears are under control and the people have learned to live with their curse and the strongest amongst them have been brought together to protect and serve.

~Sage was ethereal. Straight out of mythology. He looked more like a fox god than a werefox. Dixon tried to take a breath, drawing in a sharp gasp.

“What?” Sage's eyes widened and he took a tentative step away from Dixon. His voice had a faint echo to it, as if the fox had its own pitch.

Relaxing his shoulders, Dixon put a hand out and ruffled Sage's ear which he leaned into.

“Nothing's wrong. You're stunning.” The way Sage's cheeks lit up red wasn't lost on Dixon. It was cute. Sage was cute.~

Seiji "Sage" Ito has wanted nothing more in his life than to become an officer of Kiba-9 like his father. A fox fracti and a compassionate soul, his father was loved among District 4's Kiba-9 office and Sage's life was filled with the pride and family. Until his father was shot and killed in the line of duty.

Withdrawn and heartbroken, Sage's mother gathered him up and ran away from their family and his father's legacy for more than 15 years.

Now, an adult and fully trained at the academy, Sage has returned to D4. And with the grace of fate and a family he thought he lost, he's found himself on his father's former squad. Surrounded by people he always looked up to, he's been paired with the one man in the world to make his heart race and his mind numb, Sawyer Dixon, his father's former pair. Unfortunately, it's not as comfortable as Sage imagined it would be.

Thrown into the fray, Sage, his friends, and the family he longed for must face growing protests fueled by prejudice, national terrorism, serial killers, and black market menaces, all while responding to tears and keeping the monsters from within at bay.

Welcome to District 4!
