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!

Re: Nasir - rebel

[quarrels]

my god that would be agron's #1 most frustrating thing ever: punching something (generally a favoured approach to all problems) but nothing actually breaking. castus is doomed to forever piss agron off no matter what he does even if it's just taking a punch and not having the decency to bleed a bit

GOD NASIR you already have your work cut out

and hm gannicus would probably need invulnerability too. mostly for all that booze. he'd need a super liver, at least.

Re: Nasir - rebel

[calledmenasir]

And Castus keeps flirting with Nasir too. Agron will hate him so much and Nasir is just trying to keep them from getting into a fight that ends with Agron passing out from exhaustion.

See, Gannicus's super liver means that he gets tipsy but never drunk so he's constantly drinking to see if he can manage it just this once.

Re: Nasir - rebel

[quarrels]

And unfortunately that handy invulnerability makes castus the perfect partner for nasir which of course agron will realise and ANGST WILL ENSUE because nasir should totally be with somebody he isn't going to blow up

oh god that's gannicus's grimdark: all the internal torment with no way of getting drunk enough to forget about it for a while.

Re: Nasir - rebel

[calledmenasir]

Agron, Agron, Agron. Shut up. Nasir wants to be with you. Even if Castus is super hot.

Life is never fair for Gannicus.

Re: Nasir - rebel

[quarrels]

NOPE SORRY NASIR he's gonna break up with you for your own good then run off on a suicide mission and nearly get crucified microchipped, because Agron has the WORST IDEAS.

castus is super hot though not that agron would admit it

Re: Nasir - rebel

[calledmenasir]

God damn it, Agron. You and your stupid ideas break Nasir's heart. If he must break it off, he'd better do it gently though. Nasir might accidentally blow things up.

Castus is the hottest man on the show and no one can convince me otherwise. It's O.K. though, Nasir totally thinks Agron's hotter.
