Plot
This is the year 2026. Human kind have began to lose faith in themselves, after enduring a 3rd World War. Through the years recently passed, technology has flourished through a new boost in post-war science funding towards the increase in efficiency for any type of power source. The result came and rapidly formed a newer, sleeker looking world. Through these advances in technology also came advances in the ways to study the past. The results from these studies dug far into ancient ruins that lay deep under areas all over the world from continents to oceans. The Historical Society began taking interest in these various items they foundd, not knowing what imbalance they were really placing on the world. These "ancient ruins" as they are known to the public, are actually called Runes, powerful tablets that hold the keys to incredible powers, each Rune possessing a different ability. These Runes could be applied to the body and their powers could be harnessed. Because of the sheer power of these Runes, knowledge of them had been hidden from the world for thousands of years by select families scattered around the world. Once the Runes had been discovered, the time had arrived to leap into action and return the Runes to a safe resting place before they could be used for evil purposes. Unfortunately, somewhere through time one of the families who knew about the runes became corrupted by the thought of their power. The Crucifolds. Along with the aid of loyally recruited followers, they are now also aimed at retrieving the Runes through any means necessary. Opposing the Crucifold Family in moving to return the runes to a proper place or use them for good is the group of families still set to protect the Runes. This group is known as NIGHT. The master group of thieves trained to obtain the Runes as quickly as possible while not harming any innocents. NIGHT has recently sprang into action, stealing the artifacts from various museums all around the world. The Police have remained baffled as to how these thieves could be taking all of these items with such ease. The case blew open as the police were outraged about the thieves constant mockery of the police departments. Collaborating together with police departments around the world, the planet has become united in the effort to stop these thieves. Unfortunately, the Crucifolds have begun to move as well, using more forceful ways to obtain the Runes and stealing and killing without mercy. The media is aflare with stories of the rival groups of thieves who are stealing the artifacts using what seems like super powers.

This is where you come in! In the far future, you are a member of one of the secret families who form the group of thieves, NIGHT. Using the power of runes passed down through your family, you use your runes and various gadgets to work with your other thieves to steal artifacts around the world from the most high tech and modern defenses with the whole world watching. You will have to hack computers, slip through lasers, avoid guards, and sometimes even fight other rune users in order to obtain the Runes held inside the museums and return them to a safe place in a world mixed with science and magic
Runes:Runes are the artifacts being held inside the museums as well as a big part of the success of NIGHT. When the artifact's magical energy is harnessed, it will attach itself to the person's body who tapped into it's energy, thus granting that person the ability of the rune. The power of a rune is very specific and leaves a very distinct tattoo-like marking on the Rune User's body. The size of the marking is directly proportional to how powerful the rune is. An example would be...
EX:
The Freeze Rune
Use: Can freeze anything you touch
Appearance: A large Snowflake on the back of your hand
*Since this rune is relatively small, The user of this rune would only be able to freeze small areas. If the rune were bigger than the size of their hand, it would be able to freeze more.*
The Blade Rune
Use: Creates a black blade around the arm
Appearance: A long black marking that starts at the right shoulder blade and spirals down the right arm to the fingertips.
*In this case, the blade would be roughly as long as your arm since thats the size of the rune*
The Flame Rune
Use: Enchants the wearer with an eternal burning flame.
Appearance: A long red looking marking that covers the right shoulder blade and wraps around the right arm to the fingertips and intertwines with the Blade Rune marking.
*This would be a rune that can work solo or be combined with another Rune. The user could ignite flames with their own arm or combine it with the Blade Rune to create something different.*
Those are just examples of course and fairly forceful ones. The power of a Rune can range from shooting lightning from your palms to a simple lock pick! Be creative, aye?

Rune Name: Rune of Feather
Rune Appearance: A circlet of green and white feathers feathers around the base of his ankles.
Rune Use: Grants a huge boost of acrobatics for a short time. Will lose power after excessive use.
Appearance: Ashton is a particularly quiet and simple looking kid. He is a slender guy reaching about 5'9 in height and weighing roughly 150 pounds. He is a tanned kid with soft brown, narrow eyes which kind of droop down with a sleepy appearance. The hair on his head is a shaggy blackened brown color which spikes to various directions but dominantly down. He has thick bangs that sometimes sweep into his face. On his left eye and over his ear, he wears a small gadget which he uses for various situations mid mission. Outside of missions, it remains on his ear, disguised as a pair of sunglasses. During normal hours while out in the town, Ashton wears a very casual black long sleeved shirt and jeans so he can hide the long markings of his Runes from the public view. His jeans fit slimly and go down to a pair of brown and white converse. When participating in a NIGHT mission, his attire changes drastically. He wears a black snug fitting long sleeve shirt with the right arm exposed, showing is runes. For pants he wears matching black slim fitting cargo pants held up by a cloth belt. On his back, he wears a specially modified hooded cloak. The Cloak is lined with a material specifically designed to deflect bullets. The cloak has a pull over hood and mask to pull over the face to retain anonymity.
Personality: Ash is a boy who was trained on the fact that he would be guarding the Runes when the time came. He is very strict on following NIGHT code and accomplishing every mission successfully. This seriousness however is only exposed during mission time. Outside of the missions when he's just enjoying the company, he's a totally different happy go lucky jokey guy. At first glance he would definitely seem to not take his duties in NIGHT very seriously. He is also normally the one to plan very precise plans. Hand to hand combat for Ash is all about timing and waiting. Since his Runes aren't particularly strong for fighting. He is a very tricky fighter and always results to tricky over brute force to win a fight.
History: The Kwartz family was always known as being the "eye" of the NIGHT organization. They were always specialized in being able to see things and notice patterns, or tiny imperfections and changes in securities. This is no different for Ashton. He was taught since he was old enough walk, to focus on fine details of everything. His family only consists of his mother, father, and Ash. As an only child growing up, he didn't have the opportunity to get used to someone his own age, which lead to his love of electronics and working on various inventions on his own. For a while, he dived into the world of hacking but soon found that he preferred just making new gadgets for himself. Every now and again he'll come out with new gadgets and inventions to help the others with their missions.
Additional Info/Gadgets: He wears an ear piece which folds to extend just near his left eye he calls "Moonlight". Moonlight projects a small holographic screen in front of Ash's eye which gives various information and observations to Ash at voice command about his surroundings and status. Its a one of a kind invention created by Ash. Ash also carries a small multipurpose keycard used to debug security doors.
