500 years from the present-day humanity has perfected the modification of their own DNA. At first, it was to help humanity thrive in the ever dying planet from the problem they created. People live in giant cities with supposed perfectness, though they are riddled with corruption and class issues. These cities are interconnected under one government. Eventually, some genius got the idea that humanity could be further improved by becoming more like the creatures that used to inhabit the planet. Soon the notion of designing a child to have the exact characteristics wanted became heavily appealing and the program rolled out in every city across the world. As more people demanded these spliced children with activated genes, the scientists rolled out new splices more exciting ones. This continued until on and as it did more and more men joined the research teams pushing back the centuries of work done to make males and females equal, both by the government and by the people in charge of 'child creation'. Slowly the number of children born from the womb decreased until almost every female was incapable of having children. Making them essentially second class citizens once more, some argue worse as they were seen as no more than a man's property. In fact, women have been erased from history as well, so the women of today don't even realize what life used to be for them. But, there is hope. If you look to the rooftops, you might just see it.

~SPLICE RULES~
-INK- There are three different stages of INK. NonINKed, Forced INK, and Natural INK. INK is also dark black naturally. INK gives a person special abilities related to their splice if they have one. Forced INK is given by tattoo parlors set up by the government that limits your abilities. Natural INK is only known by the rebels and is a result of getting 'shoved' in their pool of the stuff in the initiation ceremony. All abilities are gifted.
-COMMON-PLANTS- Often carry the scent, feel, or even buds themselves. Normally types of flowers, and other non-edible species. Forced INK patterns normally consist of the most notable attribute of the flower, gain the ability to slightly control their species. Natural INK patterns consist of multiple flowers and vine-like patterns swirling around the body, also gain the ability to control their species.
-SLIGHTLY LESS COMMON-ANIMALS- Physical attributes are always noticed. Any animal is game. Forced INK patterns normally are a silhouette of the spliced animal, gives them a minor sensory boost and if they have wings flight. Natural INK are swirling patterns that replicate fur, feathers, whiskers, scales, you name it; gives them the same attributes as the animals.
-RARE-MYTHICAL- A mythical is something that has more than one splice within them. They are very rare and reserved only for the elite. I'll list out the types and if you want one I'll tell you more about each type. There are Unicorns, Pixies, Elves, Mermaids, and Dragons. Forced INK pattern consists of a silhouette of the replicated myth, gives them one attribute of the mythical creature. Natural INK consists of patterns that is associated with the myth, gives them a full range of abilities.
-EXTREMELY RARE-NATURAL BORN- You're human. No special abilities, no enhancements. Just a good old human. In the current world, they make up around .9% of the population.

~THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE REBELS~
-Most if not all hate males. Most of the rebels have either been sexually abused or forced to do other unsavory things by the opposite gender.
-Due to that rebels often times make sure everything is consented.
-ALL CITY REBELS ARE FEMALE
-The rebels are led by three leaders; Hailey a cheetah splice in charge of coordinating protests and other more militant coup like ideas; Aliana a natural-born in charge of the more domestic area for people who don't want to be involved in the rebellion and are just seeking shelter; Chrysanthemum a dragon splice in charge of undercover operations, she has a separate base away from the others in case something goes wrong
-Their clothing options are the same as a poor person, just slightly more personalized with a jacket or a unique colored top.
-The rebel base is a series of sheet metal huts in an abandoned sector of the town.

(Hey uh may I join? I have a sample and 1 or 2 characters I'd like to use as well!)

Deleted user

Yeah!

Crystal watched him, her only having 2 cookies left, and rushed over. She knew a broken person when she saw one, and gently put one hand on his shoulder, the other offering him the cookie tin. "I am…terribly sorry dear. I really am. I know the pain of death to well. She's quite pretty…here, take a cookie. I know it isn't much, but it's something. Rather have them be eaten then going to waste…" Her hand slowly dropped down from his shoulder, and rubbed his back, as she crouched next to him. "If you'd like, we can go to my dorm. It isn't too far from here. There's crazy college kids but, we can talk over tea. Let you just hide and ramble and weep. Have somewhere to heal…" She smiled softly, kindly, green eyes shining.

Deleted user

Okay well. I have two I want to use do you mind if I post both and then let you sorta decide which one would be better for the story? Also. Is there sort of splicing that is like…space related?

@ShadeStar

What do you mean space-related? Also do whatever you want. You could use both if you want, I have another character I can pull if need be.

Deleted user

Well-here. You'll see what I mean once I put up the two characters. Then again-nevermind I have it figured out

(SIDENOTE ON CRYSTAL: The whole walking thing only happens when she's barefoot.)

@ShadeStar

Okay sooooo I’m not the biggest fan of either character? Crystal b/c she wasn’t exactly the type of character I was looking for. Star b/c of the more modern day pop culture references (though I can forgive those) and the backstory. People have to live in the cities. The outside world is inhabitable which would include small towns. I have other minor issues, but that’s the big one.

Deleted user

Oh. Well…I have one more up my sleeve. Tho Star's story can change. It's not a heavy set thing. And the popculture? She likes comics in general and the type of music imagine dragons makes. Simple as that.
