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!

SO WHO'S WHO?

"RAIDER" - mutant, microchip

[deathsparrow]

"raider", crassus mutant soldier ( MACHINE SYMBIOSIS )

★ nothing is known about her past as her file is CLASSIFIED; she doesn't remember it herself nor cares to, as her memories are suppressed by the microchip in her brain. ★ viciously loyal to crassus and his generals. especially to ceasar. she is sometimes referred to "the dog" or "the hound" because of her unquestioned loyalty and the fact that she does whatever crassus and caesar command, no question asked. ★ relatively new to the troops, she doesn't like to talk to people unless necessary. she prefers to be in the company of machines, raiders and centurions; she is able to control them with her mind, although not all at once. she can also "speak" to them, though not necessarily override their orders, though they do seem to "connect" with raider. she's also able to transform herself into a raider. ★ black and white view of the world, where the rebels definitely fall in the category of being in the wrong. doesn't seem to have much of a will for herself, alike the machines she controls.
