🎬 SERIES NAME:

"MUTANT: Embers of Dawn"

🧨 EPISODE 1 TITLE:

"Born in the Ashes"

🌍 SETTING (Opening Scene):

Japan. Year 209X.

A full-scale war rages between Mutants, Anti-Mutant Humans, and Government Forces. Entire cities are crumbling. Skies burn red. Explosions light up the battlefield.

👶 ORIGIN SCENE:

A desperate couple—Yuto and Aika—run through the battlefield, dodging gunfire. Their baby is wrapped in scorched cloth. They stop at a broken statue in the heart of the chaos.

Aika (crying): “He won’t survive with us… We have to believe someone will find him.”

They place the baby down and run into the smoke.

Suddenly—

💥 An explosion sends shockwaves.

A tall figure appears, shrouded in glowing hexagonal barriers, deflecting shrapnel with ease.

🛡️ MAN’S NAME: Takeshiro

Ability: Barrier Manipulation

Creates psychic shields and can shape them into walls, domes, or weapons.

Takeshiro picks up the crying baby and looks around the ruined landscape.

Takeshiro (calm): “So small... and already left by war. Come with me.”

🏠 TAKESHIRO'S SAFEHOUSE

Takeshiro carries the baby to a small house hidden in the mountains — protected by a massive invisible dome barrier. Inside are other orphaned children, all mutant or war-affected.

He sets the baby down but forgets to give him a name. He steps out to deal with an approaching threat.

👩 WOMAN’S NAME: Reina

She enters, sees the baby crying, and picks him up.

Reina: “Poor thing. Takeshiro didn’t even name you?”

She smiles.

Reina: “Your flame hasn’t been lit yet... Let’s call you... Ren.”

She calls in another woman:

👩‍⚕️ SECOND LADY'S NAME: Chiasa

Former medic during the war, now the caretaker.

🎈 Ren’s Childhood

Ren grows up in the safehouse, raised by Reina, Chiasa, and watched over by Takeshiro. He’s close friends with a girl named Aya — a quiet, curious, and brave girl.

They play in the gardens, sneak into the training dome, and climb trees outside the barrier.

💫 AYA’S MUTANT POWER AWAKENS

One day, when they’re running from Takeshiro’s light drones during a game…

Aya suddenly vanishes—and reappears on the other side of the field, breathing fast.

Aya: “...Did I just—teleport?”

Ren stares, stunned.

Ren: “Whoa… You have a power?! When am I gonna get one?!”

🔥 TAKESHIRO’S RESPONSE

Takeshiro (softly): “Your flame will come when the time is right. Every power is born in its own fire.”

⏳ 8 YEARS LATER

The Mutant War has ended — truce lines drawn, cities rebuilding.

Ren (18): Quiet, disciplined, yearning to find his true power.
