The game is set in Oxford University and the town located near it. It involves students who are, in reality, people who have direct DNA from historical or 'fictional' characters that have made an impact on history in both good or bad terms. The British Government, who funded the project, are hoping that these children can be the next wave of future world leaders if given the right incentive and steps that made their pastselves the people history remembers them as.
There were two known batches that were a success.
Batch one subjects: Consisting mostly of the people who made large advancements in terms of social, political and etc. They are usually around 18-years-old or pushing at 19-years-old. They don't necessarily have to be from British history or literature. As long as they made a large change to history in one way or another, they were considered a good candidate for the experiment.
Batch two subjects: This is where the experiment began to get interesting. The scientists began talking to themselves after the first batch was deemed a success. Who are we to say who is 'good' or 'evil' after all? Could genes truly affect a person to the point they become 'bad' simply because the person before them was deemed 'bad'? Because of these questions, the second batch consisted of people or characters that are cast in a bad light to the majority of the world. Due to the time gap that happened between the experiments, batch two subjects are usually younger than batch one subjects.
Twenty years have passed and the government want to see if this was a success or not. After tracking down the almost all the children, the heads of the projects had both groups have been herded to Oxford University. Whether by acceptance letters when some don't even remember applying to or sudden too-good-to-be-true offers to transfer when they are already in another school, almost all the children have been found. They are now being monitored by scientists or handlers, all of them under the disguise of teachers, students or even parents themselves.
The subjects, for some reason, are oddly drawn to each other. While there isn't a clear explanation to this the scientists and handlers like to believe this is a positive sign. Seeing some of them have met each other before in their old lives. Perhaps deep genetic compulsions are driving them to this? In any case, this proves to be an interesting experiment for everyone involved. Whether they know about this or not.
