The Year- 2199 AD. Mankind has advanced both poorly and greatly. The majority of the world is covered in ash, colder than ice, due to the massive nuclear wars that blocked out the sun. If you would walk outside the heat globes, you would likely die from the lack of food, massive thousand mile-wilderness, and sheer cold (-50 F.
The Setting: Neo-NYC, which spans all former New England, is ridden with crime and immorality, to the point where civilians are drafted into the overwhelmed police forces. A quarantine has even been set to limit the spread.
Warfare is no longer fought between nations, but inside cities. The military joins with the police to counter the incredible levels of gang crime.
Though most have stayed within the cities, Some small renengade colonies have also taken refuge underground outside the cities.
Story: You and a group of others have met to break through the quarantine and leave Neo-NYC for the more peaceful cities elsewhere- specifically, you have targetted Neo-Virginia.
I: Sign-up and stuff: Character ages are suggested to be around teens to young adults, unless the character's bio fits the description.
A:
Races: Because Man has learned to do some minor fiddling with DNA, there are some different races.
i: Pures: Completely untouched by the Meld (DNA transfigurators), Pures are considered great moral outlooks, and generally have large egos. They are also considered an "endangered species" and are protected by the law. Many people lose their Pure status at adolescent age voluntarily.
ii: PDRTs (Police Department Renaissance Troops): The term "Renaissance" meaning "rebirth," These are enhanced troos used to counter extreme conditions like MCW's (Mass Civil Wars). They are hardened troops either given by parent/guardians, enlisted, and in extreme cases, abducted. Their reformed DNA is hereditary, but can be deluted should the other spouse be a Pure. Most SWAT members are PDRTs.
iii: LIRCMs (LI-srem) and IIRCMs (ear-sim)
IRCM stands for Independant Renaissance Community Members. The Difference between the LIRCMS (Legitamate...) and IIRCMS (Illegitamate)
is that while LIRCMs keep their changes rather modest and simple and stay within the legal range, IIRCMs use their abilities to change their core DNA structure, modify their fingerprints, and change other major features.
Legitamate independant Renaissance community regulations:
1. You may not, as aforementioned, change your fingerprints or Core DNA so that you may not be filed or tracked by the police for any reason.
2. You may not change your appearance to a completely unrecognizable state. This includes heavy transformations (Like turning yourself into another species, like a dog, or completely covering yourself in fur- example of an IICRM would be a werewolf or Keidran, in basic contrast.)
3. You may not, without proper authorization (from the Board of Legitamate DNA Recongifiguration, BLDR), increase your physical abilities to a superhuman level. (This rule, though heavily enforced, is often ignored. There is also an exception if any member of your family was a PDRT. Also it is difficult to convict as the term "superhuman" can be stretched quite widely.)
If you go outside these regulations, you become an IIRCM. The two primary problems with catching IIRCMs is that they can change their DNA at a glance, and with enough changing from form to form they can often do it by will, though it is limited to forms they have been in the past.
The Second is that such radical reconfigurations are often hereditary, so it is not legal to arrest an IIRCM without extremely powerful evidence that they became illicit voluntarily, which is close to impossible without any permanent DNA or fingerprints.
