In the year 2048, humankind has become a collective of technology. There is not one single person that does not breathe gadgetry every single hour of their lives. Survival is no longer a concern for most people, but for some, their very existence is more than enough for them to worry about.
These people are called mutants.
Driven to the streets by people they've known, threatened away by a society that fears them and hunted by a government that wants nothing more than to harvest their powers, these mutants live at the very limits of humanity. They are the strange ones, the ones who can trust none but themselves.
Some of them manage to survive amongst their family and friends, never revealing themselves to be be mutants, but slowly going insane because of keeping it all in. Others choose to give themselves up to the government and therefore death. Some manage to survive in the streets, stealing food and what-not and living each day as if it were their last. A few are lab-rats for people they know.
Are you a mutant or a normal? Are you one of those who chase them away or are you living in the streets, barely getting by, avoiding the Enforcers by barely an inch? Perhaps you're a politician who believes in the idea of "killing a few for the good of the many". Maybe you're just the simple secretary who clocks into her work, day in and day out, all the while hiding that you could probably throw your boss out the window with ease, or you just might be one of those mutants who stick together with others of your kind, hoping to get by somehow.
In the end, everyone in the world has a role to play--and what role do you choose?

-Usual YWS/SB rules.

-Please have a name and place at the top of each post. Such as Name | Place OR, for example; Mia | Town.

Character Profile template:
- Code: Select all
[b]Name:[/b] (First and last name.)
[b]Gender:[/b] (...duh. Female/Male/Hermaphrodite ;D)
[b]Age:[/b] (15 and above, no less. And yes, you can play the straggly old guy who totters through the streets using a cane to beat people.)
[b]Race:[/b] (Well, are you a mutant or a normal? Or a mutant normal, with the power to be boringly normal? In short, this is glaringly obvious. :P)
[b]Powers:[/b] (Anything ranging from psychokinesis to turning the sidewalk into quicksand and sticking people in it. As long as you’re a mutant, of course.)
[b]Appearance:[/b] (Description is a must. Does your character have a scar on his cheek, does he have a sixth toe or rainbow-coloured hair that he looks ridiculous in but is proud of? A hundred words at least. Pictures are optional, but anime is allowed.)
[b]Personality:[/b] (Does he have obsessive-compulsive disorder and rub his doorknob clean with a handkerchief that’s been washed five times since the hour rang whenever he goes out? Maybe he’s a narcissist that insists people wash his feet with every step he takes. Or perhaps he’s the next-door neighbour that everyone dislikes because he likes to knock on the door of every single person living on the damn floor. Details, details! Give us a hundred words here, at least.)
[b]History:[/b] (Two paragraphs at least. Even if your character’s only defining trait during the entirety of his or her history is that he has always been obsessed with watermelons.)
[b]Up for love:[/b] (This is pretty obvious.)
[b]Other:[/b] (Anything we forgot.)
