Sensitive (Species)

A Sensitive is species of Human, found mainly on Earth. However, their origins lay beyond the planet.

Origins
Historical evidence of Sensitives date back as far as the Egyptians. A group of 50 slaves disappeared for eight weeks and returned, with a higher intelligence and the ability to read minds. This group escaped Egypt and scattered across Europe and Africa. During the 12th and 13th centuries, Sensitives in Africa were mass-executed, leaving the only-remaining Sensitive population to be in rural Germany and London in the UK. German Sensitives immigrated to the UK in the mid-15th century. Approximate Sensitive numbers in the 1600s are guessed to be around 270. In the late 1600s, 250 of those Sensitives immigrated to The New World and integrated into the new found culture and becoming part of normal society.

Sensitive Uprising - 1812
After 150 years of settlement in the USA, Sensitives began to unite. In some societies, they were ostracised. Sensitives formed the secret society The All Known, who plotted to uprise against the government who had banned Sensitives from hiding their identity. The battle was not a physical one, instead Sensitives infiltrated the government from within.

Sensitive Privacy Act - 1901
Theodore Roosevelt, a secret Sensitive and a high-up member of The All Known, acquired the presidency in 1901. One of his first acts was the Sensitive Privacy Act, meaning it was no longer law for any Sensitive to make their identity public.

Sensitive Rights Act - 1912
Prior to 1912, any declared Sensitive was not entitled to vote in elections. William Taft overturned this and gave Sensitives the right to vote, amongst other things.

Sensitive involvement in World War One - 1914 - 1918
Sensitives played a key role in taking down the Germans during World War One, most being rewarded for their efforts.

Sensitive Declaration - 1922
In 1922, President Warren Harding overturned Roosevelt's Sensitive Privacy Act, making it illegal for Sensitives to be undeclared once again.

Sensitive Civil War - 1923 - 1925
Government-employed Sensitives were encouraged to expose their secret comrades. This triggered a war of loyalty between Sensitives, those pro-government and those pro-privacy. It concluded in 1925 when President Calvin Coolidge reintroduced the Privacy Act.

Sensitive involvement in World War Two - 1939 - 1945
Sensitives once again played a key role in taking down Adolf Hitler in 1945, with an American spy uncovering Hitler's bunker and leading to his death.

Sensitive Civil Union Formation/Recluse from Society - 1947 - 1980
The All Known rebranded as The Sensitive Civil Union in 1947 and Sensitives began to withdraw from public life after a massacre of Sensitives occurred in Chicago in 1949. Sensitives remained withdrawn until 1980.
