I know there's already one going, but I really like this idea and wouldn't mind doing two at once.

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 BUT THERE CAN BE EXCEPTIONS (AKA YOUR CHARACTER)
-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.

You can pick whatever type of character you want, however, I would prefer they not be a rebel at first and know nothing of the rebels. Instead, my character will come and pick them up in the beginning at this big government parade type thing. Not kidnapping, but close. So what this will mean is that they will NOT have Natural INK, if you want that at some point have them have NonINK. I would prefer it if your character matched the rebellion rising but no one really knows it vibe I want to have with this rp.

INK Pattern: black marks kind of like roots stretching from his wrist to his chest.
https://pin.it/prcoq5I
He also has a ton of scars along his wrists, but he doesn’t give a care
Abilities: If INKed
Enhanced strength And speed. His hands are more claw like. His teeth are a bit sharper (his canines) naturally. He doesn’t know whether that has anything to do with the INK Jazz or not. But he doesn’t mind.
I think that’s all though
Appearance:
okay so he's Korean and 5’11. His face is kind of triangle is round (due to his korean genetics) he has a very prominent jawline, though not very pointed per say. He has droopy sad looking eyes and usually has dark circles under his eyes, though he's lucky they don't show a lot. His skin is almost crystal clear with no blemishes. He got that from his moms side obviously. He has long black eyelashes with black and grey eyes and if he looks into any form light they'll run white and silver with specks of black in them. (super pretty) he has a freckle (beauty mark ig) on the bottom right corner of his right eye. He has a black lip ring on his bottom lip on the right side. It's like a crescent moon shape with a spike on either end. Earrings on both of his ear. Just a black stud in the shape of a square, and the other a triangle. Then on his right ear near the top he has a black cuff going around it, that's actually pierced and right below it a tiny little black diamond. A scar on his upper lip from when he has a bad habit of biting it too much. A prominent scar on his right eyebrow, Which he covers up with his dark thick wavy hair. It's so dark that sometimes when he goes into the sun (which is rare) is almost looks like a dark blue. He's quite pale and his facial expressions can come off as super mean. (he doesn't mean it, wait sometimes he totally does, okay most of the time XD) on a daily basis he wears Sweatshirts (that often say rude or semi vulgar things on them) and skinny jeans, and he usually just wears converse. He's actually kind of muscular, more than you would think when you see him.

Usual Outfit: Poor people are limited to a white top and black pants. Sorry about that.
Hoodie jeans, black long sleeved shirts but also he could care less if he has a shirt on or not.

Weapons: blade whip, he forges quite a bit of weapons. Throwing knives hidden throuout his wardrobe all the time.
Personality:
hes shut in, a closed in person with crippling anxiety and severe depression due to a ton of trauma in his past and ongoing trauma. He suffers from schizophrenia. He can get really overprotective and he can get mad easily but only if its for someone else's sake (unless you really make him mad) once you get to know him (if you're a nice person) he's super sweet and loving. Hence why he's overprotective. He can get super sarcastic and bossy wen he wants to be, but he's also super smart and witty. (like if he were in an escape room he’d get out in no time) straight A’s and although it seems like he's not paying attention he totally is. He has an extremely dark sense of humor and talks to himself so if you hear him saying threats or something dark just ignore that. He's extremely paranoid about the smallest things. He always thinks of ways to kill/ or get out of every situation he's in. also every single person he meets. He finds out there weakness and finds a way to kill them or to weaken them just in case they betray or do him or his loved ones wrong. He's always prepared for the worst. He's not a pessimist he's just a major realist. It's very hard to be optimistic about things. People often get annoyed with him and leave him although he avoids people some people just force themselves onto him and he just accepts it. He doesn't fight for himself but for others he would die for. He doesn't accept people very easily and on that topic he is a little pessimistic. He always thinks they're going to either betray him or let him down. He's a sad boy with a lot of problems but he's nice i swear!

Background: (Optional.) (it’ll show up in the story. Hes got some daddy issues lol)
Other:
I have a whole Pinterest board just for him. So uh… here you go?
https://pin.it/kYukRww

Is he alright?

@ShadeStar

Sooooooo at this moment I can't look at any of the links, just a heads up. I do have to say that typically forced inks wouldn't be able to shift, in fact all INKs wouldn't be able to shift? That's my only major problem with him at the moment though. He looks great otherwise!

@Celeste_X0X0_ group

Oh okay. Hm. How does that work then? If you mind explaining that. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Would like his arm for example be permanently an inhuman thing or something?

@ShadeStar

No? Sorry I'm a bit confused as to what your asking. Are you asking about the nature of INK, becuase all it does is give inhuman attributes to humans. Doesn't allow them to shift between their inhuman (plant animal whatever) form and back to the human form. It gives the abilities of the chosen inhuman to the human. Does that make more sense?
