THE CITY OF TOWNSVILLE.
(No, not that one.)
They say that heroes can save us, and the Mayor of Townsville was not going to stand there and wait.
The Mayor of Townsville had always had a close connection with the CEO of Incredibrand, Inc. Incredibrand was well known for its innovative ideas and products, and the Mayor was well known for having piles and piles of money. Naturally, these two went hand in hand.
What the citizens of Townsville didn't know was that the Mayor and CEO were working together to create the world's first Perfectly Engineered Human. In the next election, the Mayor and his opponent worked hard to dig up some dirt on each other, and eventually, the Mayor's secret leaked all over a famous internet Wiki.
To combat this, the Mayor released an unfinished version of the genetic-altering chemical that Incredibrand was working on, Fluoxometholodone*, into Townsville's water supply. Fortunately for the mayor, but unfortunately for Incredibrand, fluoxometholodone only affected people with type O- blood.
The mayor began to spread ads supporting himself and framing Incredibrand as the culprits of the leak. Genetically altered humans in the city were rare, but outcast by the city's unaltered citizens.
100 years later, the city of Townsville is, to put it bluntly, incredibly fucked up.
Multiple genetically-altered humans, referred to by their detractors as 'mutt kids', believe that Incredibrand's research was finished, and that they are the master race. Therefore, they use their newfound abilities to wreak havoc on the citizens they see as peons.
Other mutt kids have difficulty controlling their powers and see them as a curse.
Some took up the mantle of 'superheroes' like in fantasy stories. Many tried to make the best of their abilities by using them to help non-powered civilians or to fight against those doing harm to the city.
Still others see themselves as heroes, but often have egoes that rival the size of the havoc-wreaking mutt kids.
Where do you stand?
