THE STORY WAS THIS
mutants are a thing, they have been for years. superheroes, supervillains, quirky little boarding schools dedicated to raising mutant kids in safety - these are all also things. unfortunately, the current President of the United States capitalised on a whole decade of highly volatile (and often violent) anti-mutant feeling with an unforgiving pro-human stance. his - and his private army's - view is that mutants are lesser creatures, abominations and barbarians, that are pretty much only good for being enslaved. WHAT A NICE GUY. President Marcus Crassus also happens to be the richest man in America and CEO of Romans, Inc, a giant multinational corporation with its own huge private army that just so happens to be the sole manufacturer of gross emotion-suppressing robot brain implants. YEAH.

now, America is a totalitarian dictatorship under the rule of President Crassus and his army. any free mutant who takes a stand against his rule faces being hunted down and arrested and experimented on or some shit until they agree to take the implant and join Crassus's side. as well as his army of run-of-the-mill normal human soldiers, any mutants who take the implant are assigned in to his own private hitsquad used to track down the renegade mutants still on the loose.

everything is grim and dark and for some reason cities are more like wastelands as Crassus ransacks his way through America on the search for renegade mutants. fullscale riots and clashes between Crassus's soldiers and rebellious mutants happen a lot! there are a bunch of abandoned buildings and cool burnt-out warehouses are everywhere. it's just really grim and dark, you guys.

AU of an AU
this is all loosely based on the What-If Wednesday from xi-rpg circa 2010. cr can be brought forward from the old version but this is essentially an au of that au so clean slates/do-evers are a thing. if you're a newcomer then don't sweat it - all you need to know is on this page. comment below with any questions!

SOPHIE GAUER - human, rebel

[technie]

sophie gauer, rebel human ( THE NERD )

★ daughter of a mutant and a human, when her father was taken from her because of his powers her mother and her tried everything to get him back but to no avail. roman, inc. wanted to hire her mother, a well known scientist, but she refused. because of that, her mother was taken prisoner but not before instructing sophie to find the rebels and join them. ★ while she did not inherit any powers from her father, she did have her mother's natural aptitude for computers. a bit of a nerd, she has volunteered to be part of a lot of missions because of her human status. she can sneak in with less problems than a mutant and rarely attracts attention to herself. usually, she carries hi-tech equipment to hack into surveillance cameras and send the feed to her room so she can help monitor the missions. ★ because she's a little bitter about her parents, she partially blames the rebellion and so she has a weird, complicated relationships with most mutants because they can do anything "without the struggles humans have to go through. she resents them slightly, but isn't against them in the slightest; she thinks it's a disgusting thing crassus is doing for no person should be persecuted because of something they were born with. ★ she's not the cleaning crew, she isn't the chef and she isn't your mother. she helps monitoring missions and fixes equipment or gets them fancy accessories to help them on their missions. don't ask for her to cook or clean. she will cut you. ★ she will, however, cut your hair.
