Solace Introduction:

Solace:

Solace is the name of an organization whose headquarters are in New York—it is one of the biggest organizations of the time, dealing in everything from clothes, to games, to books, to hotels, to hardware, basically anything that can be made into a company is a segment in Solace. However, Solace is most known for its intelligence network; agents of Solace, also known as the Solans, act as law enforcement, spies, and assassins—whatever they need to act as at that moment. The uniqueness of the organization is that these agents possess special powers. Solans are born with these powers that range in eight different fields as described below. In fact, any person born with these powers is classified as an "immortal", though they may not all be Solans. A woman only known as Destiny heads the organization—her power is unique in the way that it does not belong to any one of the eight sects, rather her power is completely different. The main characters in the Solace books belong to a special department in Solace, called Special Operations or SO. These eight people are the most powerful immortals in their field, and are headed by Destiny.

Destiny formed the group when she was four years old, finding and inducting all the members using her powers. Even at that age, she was adept in the workings of the world and decided to keep the group a secret. Using their powers, it was not hard to hide who they were. At age thirteen, they were the most powerful immortals of the time and Destiny decided to form an organization that would act as a focal point for immortals, calling it Solace because that was what she wanted it to be—a place for solace. Soon, it attracted many other immortals—some of whom wanted to join and other who didn't. She let them decide what to do, abiding by their decision either way. With the people who did join, she built up the organization, investing and starting business in many fields to provide a cover for what the company really was. At the same time, she approached the United Nations and informed them of the existence of people like her, telling them that they meant no harm to the world, they only wanted to protect it and live their lives as best as they could. And as such, Solace's dealings with the law enforcement and intelligence agencies began. The fact that the most powerful people in the entire world were following a thirteen-year-old girl was not lost on anybody, but really, they could see the power and the authority she possessed.

Sects of the immortals:

Raenian:

Raenian is the name for a person who is very adept in technology; they can instinctively understand the working of any machine and are also capable of controlling technology and machinery. Some of them can also control electricity and can use it to manipulate technology, while others can also perform alchemy.

Voldet:

Voldets are fairies—any kind of fairies, really. They possess fairy magic, also known as elemental magic. All fairies are said to be beautiful creatures, who can capture the heart of anyone they want to. They have wings that they use to fly around, a sport that they adore.

Atlantians:

Atlantians are benders—the can control the four elements of air, water, fire and earth. Most Atlantians can only control on of the elements but here are some who can control two or more. They do not possess any magical ability; their power is completely physical.

Sciss:

The Sciss are sorcerers. They use words and implements to perform magic. They can use magic of any kind, while the Trynn as described below only use light magic and the Xain only use dark magic.

Trynn:

The Trynn are also magic users. However, they use magic in it most base form, bending the magic in the air around them. Unlike the Sciss, they do not need words or objects to use magic.

Xain:

The Xain are the third sect of magic users. However, they use dark or wild magic rather than light magic.

Faun:

Fauns are people who can transform into other animals. When they are in their human form, they have enhanced physical abilities, as well as some of the abilities that animals have. For example, they can breath underwater or fly even as humans. They can understand any animal and their magic only extends so far as to emulate animal characteristics as described above in them.

Pandora:

Pandorans are people who can bend the space-time field. They can teleport, or 'jump' from one place to another and can also stop or speed up time, though this ability is limited in them. They can also understand all languages and are adept at influencing people magically.

MC (mind controlling):

This ability is existent in only one person and she is Destiny. Mind controlling implies that she can control matter in its most base form—atoms and molecules. As such, she has mastered a way to control atoms and create one atom from another by moving electrons and shifting properties.
