The Asylum is all it was called. A place where people would be taken on, experimented on, and locked up for the rest of their days did they do anything even slightly wrong. Let's zoom in on those people, shall we?
Basically, this is a story about a dystopia where war is the only thing that matters and the nations are constantly trying to one-up each other through whatever means they can. Recently, America has been focusing on human experimentation, trying to make soldiers stronger, faster, smarter, etc. Anyone who breaks a significant law is sent to the Asylum, a place hidden in the mountains made for experimenting on humans for soldiers. There are three roles in this RP, for plot. Scientist, which is the people who are experimenting, long terms, those who have been experimented on for a while, and newbies, or new arrivals to they asylum. I will give two slots to each role, and people may have up to two characters.
Scientists: (2/2)
Newbies: (2/2)
Long Terms: (2/2)
Anyways, have fun. We will be focusing mainly on the goings-on of the Asylum, but if we want to expand plot from there we can. No smut, no one liners, no being an ass, and have fun! This roleplay will contain dark and/or mature themes so let me know what your triggers are, please!

Have fun!
May I have a scientist and long-term?
Bestie may i snatch that last newbie role
Thank you bestie, do you have a character sheet?
Could I snatch a long-term role, perhaps?
Yeah, sure! That leaves scientist for someone else as my roles are a little more specialized to the plot.
Hey! I haven't roleplayed much lately, but could I take that last scientist spot?
:D excellent! I have a few questions for you, could I PM them to you? (I'll probably just do them in the PM we already have if that's alright)
I have one question: What kinds of mutations and powers are allowed? I just want to make sure any I give my character are within the realm of acceptability for this RP. :)

Basically, anything so long as they can’t insta-escape or some such nonsense.

Just nothing overpowered.
Name: Marissa de la Cruz (Little Mary, of the Cross)
Age: 38
Gender/Pronouns: Cis woman, she/her
Orientation: Well it’s not like she’d be interested in you. But she is a lesbian.
Role: Head of Project Asylum
Appearance: A stern, slightly wrinkled face, tired eyes, and a wobbly, thin figure held up by elbow crutches. Marissa has long, straight brown hair held up in a bun, green eyes and mildly tanned skin, with an appearance that says she has zero tolerance for bullshit. She’s short, but she always manages to meet your eyes.
Personality: Marissa has one defining trait, and that is how driven she is. She’ll do anything to get her experiments to do what she wants, but she’s not unkind about it generally, she has a great distaste for senseless cruelty. She has a rewards system in place for experiments because of this. She believes that positive reinforcement is the best option unless given no other option.
Mutations/Powers/Etc?: None, but she can make anyone crumble to dust with a nasty glare.
Background?: Marissa has gone to great lengths to ensure nobody knows even a shred of information about her past.
Other: Marissa has Spina Bifida of the Myelomeningocele variety, thus the crutches.
Name: Project Cassandra (Cassandra of Troy. Prophetess never to be believed.)
Age: 36
Gender/Pronouns: Demigirl, she/they
Orientation: Bisexual
Role: The Original Experiment
Appearance: Pale eyes that look severely clouded over. Tall, a bit too tall, and with joints too long for her emancipated head and torso. Slits where her mouth was supposed to be that can expand, and a jaw with no limit to how far down it can go. Long, white hair, spindly fingers, and slits for a nose like a snake’s. She’s basically walking nightmare fuel. Wears a white hospital gown, dirty from years of presumably never changing it.
Personality: Volatile, cranky, and lonesome, Project Cassandra is a bit of an enigma. All we know is that the seem to only trust Marissa, for whatever reason.
Mutations/Powers/Etc?: Some freaky looking features, but nobody knows exactly what those can do. All we know is that anyone who enters her room besides Marissa is basically dead from the start, nobody has survived them.
Background?: ???
Other: In her previous life, she had a soft spot for children. That’s all that is on her file.
Thank you bestie, do you have a character sheet?
The template is on the first post.
(Ack it's too late to join but I'm stalking-)
(I am truly honored by this haha.)
(It's got The Diviners Vibes and I'm so here for it!!)
(I have no idea what that is but it sounds neat.)
(1920s ghost hunters and also scathing critiques of America then and now. I feel like you'd vibe with the series)
Name: Jax Cora
Age: 26
Gender/Pronouns: cis female, she/her
Orientation: Aroace
Role: Scientist
Appearance: Jax is of average height with a slim, rectangular body shape and pale skin. Her eyes are a cold, harsh gray, and her hair is brown and cut to just above her shoulders. She always wears a medical mask over her mouth and nose, covering scars on either side of her mouth.
Personality: Jax is very cold and calculating, demanding the utmost respect from all of her subjects. She only says what's necessary, her words always paired with a steely glare. The only trait she's kept since childhood is her sense of curiosity, although even this has taken a much more morbid turn.
Background: Jax had a happy childhood, raised by an adoptive father. She wanted to follow in his footsteps and become a heart surgeon in order to help as many people as she could. As she grew older, she realized that, in her eyes, most people don't deserve to be saved. Still wanting to work in the medical field while punishing those who deserve it, she became a Scientist at the Asylum, completely cutting her father out of her life.
