ANYTHING BUT HUMAN
There exists a variant within mankind—one rooted in genetic mutation—that causes some individuals to be born with unnatural abilities. While these individuals are human, they’re treated as an entirely different species for bearing, what is perceived as, an innate and threatening advantage that the rest of the world must suppress at all costs, and their abnormal eye colors emphasize the targets on their backs. To common humans, these are no superhumans, but rather, behemoths.
A LEADER AND HER TEAM
Among them is Lya Reese, concealing her red eyes behind contacts as she goes about her life as a university student with a minimum-wage job; however, under the cover of night, she instead hides everything but her eyes as she fulfills her role as the leader of a vigilante team. Driven by her own strict and impartial moral code, Lya seeks to stifle the rampant crime in her city, even if that calls for protecting the very people who
are set against her as a behemoth.
THE STAGE IS SET
Lya and the other five members have been stopping crime
for some time, having caused the locals to coin the title “Night Behemoths,” or derogatorily “Night Hemies,” on their behalf. However, no amount of experience, teamwork, or protective ground rules could prepare Lya Reese for what she would stumble across one late night after interfering with an armed robbery: a gruesome sight that defies all laws of nature, far more than the existence of behemoths ever has.
