A few key terms that may be important to understanding the setting of Dire Tactics.
Oddity :: Oddity is the name given to humans born with special powers. This group of individuals have been known to the public for nearly 30 years but it is highly believed they existed well before then, lurking in the shadows fearing for their own safety. Over the last 30 years they have been hunted down, and harshly persecuted.
The Ashford Family :: Extremely wealthy family who has sponsored Ashford Isle. Currently it is unknown if any of the family are actually Oddities but it is highly believed that is the case, either way their true motives for the creation of Ashford Isle is still unknown.
Ashford Arms:: In the dead center of Ashford Isle is the Ashford Arms. A large hotel that actually consist of two large towers, with a large pool and courtyard area between them. This Hotel is them home of every Oddity when they first arrive, this gives them time to get acclimated to their new lives while they are receiving a job and their new home permanent home is being prepared,
Oddity Security Enforcers (OSE) :: A International Force sanctioned by the UN to help supervise Oddity actions and 'protect' their rights across the globe. The force itself is held in a very negative light amongst the Oddity community, typically considered bullies who are more interested in controlling Oddities then protecting them. Their is currently several fleets of ships circling Ashford Isle and keeping an eye on the activity. Rarely they do employee Oddities amongst their ranks, this is typically ones who have abilities they can use.
Ashford Research Institute (ARI) :: The ARI is the workforce behind Ashford Isle, mostly made up of scientist, engineers and doctors however they do boost a rather elite security force to help protect themselves as well as maintain peace should the need arise on the island.
The Inquest :: The Inquest is the name of the small taskforce that works directly under Ethan Ashford. The Inquest's exact duties are mostly confidential however it is public knowledge that they retrieve Oddities from hostile country to help bring them to Island.
Fluky :: A slang term given to any Oddity that tends to sympathize with normal humans, especially ones that obtain roles inside of OSE. These individuals typically garner little respect from humans and are mostly outcast amongst other Oddities. Still when a Fluky gets in good with the right person they may have a slightly elevated life style or a bit of an easier time as long as they do as told. Others also are labeled as Flukys who try to keep peace, forgive and forget in an attempt to build equality through more peaceful methods.
