Mandatory Training:
Due to the existence of Harbingers, humanity has been forced to create mandatory training colleges (MTC) across the world. When a person graduates High School, they're immediately applied to every MTC. At that point, each MTC will individually accept or decline an applicant based on athleticism, intelligence, and ability.
Aldrich Academy:
Aldrich Academy is the pinnacle of mandatory training. It accepts less than one percent of all applicants, and has a perfect standing among all nations. Aldrich Academy only accepts the best of the best.
This game takes place in the same world as the following project:

(The website and projects are still a work in progress)
Custodian:
The Custodian's are an elite task force founded by Aldrich Academy. They are committed to maintaining worldwide security, and are completely neutral in world standings. Whenever there's a Harbinger Parasite outbreak. The Custodian's are called in to resolve the situation.
Custodian (Video Game):
Due to the low rate of those actually selected to become a Custodian, a large gaming company created a "Custodian" MMORPG, where players could live out their fantasies of saving the world from Harbingers.
While some critics felt it was in bad taste. Custodian steadily grows as the worlds largest MMORPG.
