History

It started with Project: Fantasy, dubbed Final Fantasy due to the theme of the experiments and that it was to be Dr. Michealangelo Maddock DCLXIV's last endeavor before retirement.

• First was Subject: Monk, named Micheal. Enhanced strength, speed, and an invisible aura that allowed him to know all the comings and goings within 200 yards of himself. His age was accelerated to an immediate 13. He defined Neutrality, going out of his way to side with the underdog in field tests.

• Second was Subject: Fighter, named Felicia. Enhanced speed as well as the ability to make anything lightweight in her hands, to her anyways. She defined Chaos as she sometimes didn't even follow the objective in the field tests. Even when she did, she often went on her one to do it her own way.

• Third was Subject: Thief, Terra. Super enhanced speed as well as stealth capability. In field studies, she never took sides unless it was with the police or other law enforcement, or if she was told to. Many times she looked to some authority figure.

• Fourth was Subject: Black Mage, Betsy. Her Will deteriorated or killed almost all it touched. She was a destroyer, plain and simple. In field tests, she was noted to take the side she felt would cause the most damage, and took particular delight in cruelty and torture. The scientists imprisoned her for safety measures.

• Fifth was Subject: White Mage, Wilma. Her will could be used as both a shield and as a healer. She always choose the side she thought would protect the innocent and weak in field tests. She was commisioned to guard Betsy's cell.

Betsy, however, had other plans. The girl made dark deals with dark spirits, and became even more powerful than Wilma could manage. Under orders, Terra aided her, and Micheal came, feeling an upset in the balance, siding with Wilma as well. Felicia, however, was in love with Betsy, and sided with her. It was a cataclysmic battle, that saw Wilma's side losing. Then, in a desperate move, she called upon a powerful deity, and she, as well as the other participants, paid with the their lives. At the climax of this battle, Dr. Maddock came upon the ruins of his lab with a babe. Subject: Red Mage, Richard. The malevolent spirit of Betsy remained, and she sought to posses the babe, but Wilma followed. As both has powerful spirit, their sudden departure into Richard made a sort of astral vacuum that sucked the spirits of the other deceased experiment in. They laid dormant in Richard's mind, only occasionally influencing him, until he was the same age as they were when they died. Then, they gained more prominence in his mind.
