One choice can transform you-.. Or it can destroy you.
But every choice has consequences...


In the year 2005, the Humanity Unification Alliance (H.U.A) has come together in the hopes to try and bring peace and order to the new uprising that has begun to spread through the world causing nothing but pain and chaos. Their new enemy: Mutants. Any and all mutants that are found living or attempting to live within the human society are to be rooted out and to be brought into the government for registration and extermination as soon as possible; though no pleasure is taken in these methods, they are crucial if the human society are ever to lead a peaceful and safe life once again. For years the mutants have peacefully protested trying their best to resolve the issues that have arisen between the two societies, claiming and calling for the rights they know to be theirs; the undesired mutant society wishing for nothing other than equality. Though any insurrection caused in the name of such plights were quickly "dealt with" by the armed forces that are kept under the tight and corrupted watch of the government; claiming that the mutants were too genetically similar to the humans... The key word being "similar". They were not considered to be human; the mutants were nothing but freaks, outcasts, rejects, undesirables... Things.

By the year 2015, the mutants have had enough, having exhausted every peaceful avenue that they could the turmoil built up within until the point of breaking causing them to snap; what used to be organised and peaceful protests now becoming violent and even bloodied rioting within the city streets. The situation has begun to spiral out of control leading to a full blown civil war resting on the H.U.A's hands; words now were nothing but meaningless to all those involved, it was time for actions.

The year now is 2020 and the chaos that has come with the ongoing war is in full swing; entire cities going to waste while laying in crumbling ruin while social tensions began to run at an all time high thanks to the turmoil between the government and the mutant society; though the fighting has only just begun, this battle will continue to rage on as the mutants continue to strive and fight for their right to exist within this world.


Setting - Information

In a post-apocalyptic dystopian world, the survivors of a grueling and ongoing civil war live within the ever crumbling remains of a once great city, the once united front of people now divided up into three different societies each with it's own issues and hardships, these societies are: the government, the human society, and the mutant society.

In the current year of 2020, the chaos that is raging with the ever-growing war has become too much leaving entire cities to go to waste while social tensions are running at an all time high thanks to the bad blood and turmoil bubbling between both the government and the mutant society; the human society caught in the middle though their hands are rarely clean of the situation either. The fighting however, has only just begun, and this battle will continue to rage on as the mutants continue to strive and fight for their right to exist peacefully within the world.

Government - Information

Once known for their eloquence and devoted value towards the virtues of intelligence and wisdom above all, the members of the government devoted their lives to the pursuit of knowledge and justice for all those in the world; delegating themselves to help better the lives of all those who are shown to need it. Over time however, the government steered away from its original belief, the members greedy for power a likely result from that very yearning desire they held for knowledge; their moral corruption soon becoming so severe that they eventually began turning on those that they had once swore to help, their thirst for power seeming to be unquenchable.

It is because of the governments greed and arrogance that they are so easily susceptible to corruption, their quest for unlimited knowledge leading them to an extreme lust and greed for power. Now, though seen to be a government of great intelligence full of burning curiosity and a keen astuteness, they are shown to always be in a constant pursuit for knowledge that can help to solidify and continue to build the power that they have over the others in the world who look to them for answers; every action made seeming only to benefit them in some way or another and willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that they are not defied or threatened in any way.

Lead by a board of highly intellectual and classest members working for a singular man (whom is never seen), they use their know-how and the blind devotion of the human society to their advantage; abusing their control over any and all means of communication (social media, ect.) to manipulate the thoughts of those around them into believing what it is they wish them to believe. With the armed forces (both police and military) in their pocket so to say, they choose to search out and hunt down any and all mutants that they can get their hands on, experimenting on them to further their already vast amount of knowledge; though fearing the uprising and what the mutants are capable of they have resorted to pushing their fear tactics to the limit by holding public executions of mutants, using them to make a show of what happens when you defy them and go against what they say; though all this is done while maintaining a "we don't want to do what we do, we have to do what we do" kind of attitude for the public's sake and image of them.

PLEASE NOTE: Wanting nothing more than to maintain complete and utter control over those within the world, the government resort to several ways of showing their dominant power over those who are underneath them; abusing their power by hunting down mutants and both experimenting on and killing them, while doing all they can to convince and manipulate the public into thinking that they are executing them for the safety of all. As the war has continued to get worse some of these executions have become public in hopes to scare both the human and mutant societies by showing them what happens when they defy the government.

Human Society - Information

Once a great people who valued a peaceful and safe society free from both conflict and chaos, the human society is now completely driven by their fear towards that which they consider to be the unknown; above all mutants. Manipulated by the government into believing that what is happening is the right thing for them and that it will lead them into a life that is better for all, they keep the faith that the government is doing what they must to keep the surviving human population safe. Due to the governments constant manipulation, the human society are extremely racist towards the mutant society, willing to (nine times out of ten) give them up to the government and the military if it means that it will get the results that are being promised to them.

PLEASE NOTE: Though most humans within the world fear and despise mutants with a passion, there are the few who do sympathize with their cause and are willing to help them out in any way that they can (supplying them with supplies, weaponry, ect.) while not endangering their own lives or the lives of their families.

Mutant Society - Information

Forced into hiding long ago by the government that is hunting them down one by one, the mutant society are shown to be complete and utter anarchists; extremely rebellious when it comes to fighting for their right to live and their right to have equality within the world that they share with the human society, and though they once tried to fight peacefully, each protest was quickly shut down by the government causing matters to become a lot worse than they originally were. The mutant society has a tendency to diverge from the norm which is, in this case, the mindset and way of thinking of both the government and the human society, it is for this reason that the government are terrified of their abilities, and see them as threats who will always cause trouble for them.

The members of the mutant society are pictured by others in the world as absolutely fearless, unnervingly undaunted, free-spirited and extremely brave individuals; each of them showing courageous resolute and are not easily discouraged, especially in situations when they are in the face of danger or difficulty. Valuing bravery and justice above all, the leaders of the mutant society work as hard as they can to train the other members to become especially skilled in fighting both with their bodies and weapons, helping to prepare them to respond to any and all threats and challenges that get thrown their way, which is a necessity if members wish to survive life as a mutant in the world today.

While the leaders and those who have grown up within the community of the mutant society maintain an emphasis on the idea of "freedom from fear" and test this constantly by attempting what some consider death-defying feats showing that they have great skill both physically and mentally, they also understand that those who have grown up without this luxury or freedom do not and will not necessarily be able to understand their mindset and actions straight from the get go, allowing them the time that they need to settle themselves into life within the compound while helping them out as much as they can; though this doesn't stop the leaders from pushing in order to find the limitations of those members who have chosen to join in the cause.

PLEASE NOTE: Majority of the mutant society is fiercely loyal to one another (whether they choose to show it or not), most willing to put themselves in harms way when it comes to helping out another in a time of need; though with this there are some mutants who wish for nothing to do with the rebellion choosing to look out for themselves rather than joining and living with those in the compound.

The Pit - Information

The Pit is both at the heart of and the name in which the mutant compound is referred to, and consists of a deep pit with a glass roof sheltering it from the sometimes harsh and unforgiving weather of the city. It's a large underground cavern with many places for random activities built into the structure walls (such as tattoo parlors, thriving market places, member apartments, training rooms, meeting rooms, simulation training rooms, infirmary, ect.) causing it to look more like an underground city rather than just a hideout. To connect each of these places, the pit has narrow steps and walkways; there are no railings or barriers lining these paths, however there are blue lanterns that hang from various points along them.

To the far right side of The Pit, lays The Chasm; a deep opening in the compound in which many a member has fallen (or jumped) to their death on occasion. One of the many ways in which to enter The Pit is to jump off one of the tall buildings surrounding the compound into a large hole in the roof of the compound landing in a large net that has been stationed at the bottom of it; this is referred to as "the back entrance" and is a favored method used by the leaders of the compound as an initiation for all new members. Another favored method of transportation into the compound are zip-lines that can be found (by those who know of their exact locations) scattered around the city leading to various entrances into The Pit.

Powers - Information

The mutants, despite their human nature and appearance, feature a range of distinctive aspects in many different areas: biology, physiology, genetics, ect. Each trait, or traits, not only passed down through their evolution predecessors, but also laying dormant within them. The human mutants (homo-superior) possess the mutant gene, which is positioned on the twenty-third chromosome (sexual chromosome).

For most mutants, the mutation occurs either during puberty (caused by sexual hormones such as testosterone and estrogen) or under conditions of extreme stress (caused by things such as adrenaline, cortisol, ect. or stressful situations such as the death of a loved one, constant bullying, ect.). The only exceptions to this being any mutants who are expressing their mutation from birth (this particular group of mutants however would be either born into life within The Pit or were born into life within one of the many research facilities).

PLEASE NOTE: The government would want to keep all those considered mutants under their control, using their corrupt and manipulative influence over the armed forces (both police and military) and the human society to their advantage, so that none could threaten their power or control over the people. Those who posed such abilities would be considered mutants among men, and would be hunted down and experimented on, or killed off in a public execution as a display of what would happen to any who tried to defy the governments rule.

Characters - Information

When it comes to characters, though this roleplay is indeed taking inspiration from both Divergent and X-Men, I will not be accepting cannon characters due to the blending of both concepts (this roleplay is neither more of one or the other, but a mix of both in certain aspects), so with that note in mind I would ask for you all to get imaginative and create all original characters. Also please note, that I will not be accepting characters with any physical abnormalities, even though they have powers they are able to hide within society in plain sight of the government (until said character is found out).

PLEASE NOTE: At this stage in time I am unfortunately going to have to put a limit of three characters to each roleplayer; this limitation will be reviewed at a later date once we get a better idea of those both within the roleplay and those interested in joining in the future. Below I have put together a template for everyone to use for their Character Sheets. Also please, when it comes to choosing a picture of your characters appearance, do try to use actual people and not drawn or anime pictures, thank you.

Have you guys seen Divergent (curious, loll). The world works like that when it comes to life, just without the factions and such. But if you haven't seen it, here is a clip that is helpful in several different ways (showing you how the city works, showing you how mutants are perceived by others, and how to get to and how to enter the back entrance into the Pit): Slice of life in the city.

'Fury is my choice...not a sickness'

Name: Xena
Real Name: Serena Carson
Age: 25
Position: Newbie
Occupation (If Any): None at the moment


Appearance:






*Note: Her eye color is unnatural among humans but known as the Alexandria Genesis, which is a human genetic mutation she was tested for mutant DNA as a baby and was due to be tested when she reached maturity, however she was a late bloomer and managed to slip through the cracks. She has worn different color contact lenses over the years to help keep herself hidden.


Tattoos & Piercings: Xena has several piercings on her right ear, a scaffolding bar across the top of her ear, with two rings about halfway down, both of her lobes are pierced, she tends to wear a dragon ear wrap on her left ear with a small cuff ear stud in her right. Apart from that she has the left side of her lip pierced with a ring and a bar through her tongue.

She has the Japanese kanji for peace on the back of her neck and a howling wolf on her right bicep.


Personality Traits: Xena is a real firecracker, she has a rebellious streak and isn’t keen on beating things around the bush. She can be brutally honest and direct, often showing little concern over the tenderness of others feelings. She is a confident character though she can come across as a little pig-headed at times.

Selfish, unlike many of the other mutants Xena wouldn't selflessly defend another of her kind. Even though she tends to be a risk taker, when it comes to putting herself at risk for the sake of others she tends to choke. She doesn't ask for help believing that 'her problems are her responsibility' and that she can only remain strong if she deals with everything on her own. Alongside this she believes that only the strong should survive and doesn't like the idea of dragging the weak along with them, this can cause her to appear heartless.

As rough as she is around the edges she isn't an introverted person. Sarcasm is her first language and she uses it mercilessly, housing a unique sense of humor she'll often say things that nine times out of ten only entertain her rather than the people around her. Always looking for a way to cause trouble.

She's very resourceful and is a natural problem solver when she wants to be, she has a knack for finding a way even when there doesn't appear to be one. She's also pretty good at finding loopholes in conversations so she isn't tricked or railroaded into anything she doesn't want to do or admit. The reason she does this is because she doesn't trust anyone, usually she'll be pretty upfront with people and tell them, but even after she gets to know someone she instinctively expects them to either double cross her or abandon her at some point so she keeps her guard up.

Xena will become particularly confrontational when she feels threatened or anxious and will adopt a rather stand offish persona. She doesn't tend to talk about her emotions and rarely registers them, the only one that she can't keep bottled up inside is her anger.


Abilities: Neon gas manipulation - can create, shape and manipulate neon, a colorless, odorless, inert monatomic gas under standard conditions, but when under low pressure glows a bright bluish purple if an electric current is passed through it.

Aerokinetic combat with neon - Neon lights surround her hands, lower arms, lower legs and feet giving her physical attacks a power boost.

Air Dashing using neon - The user is capable of performing short "dashes" in mid-air, allowing increased speed and even changing direction in mid-jump.

Aerokinetic constructs using neon - Can turn neon gas into tools, objects, weapons and other items.




*Note: In order to utilize her powers Xena has to engage her anger, from then on it becomes a fierce battle of will. If she allows herself to become too worked up she loses any tactical advantage she may have and becomes as useful as a tank without a driver. The more ticked off she gets the more unpredictable her powers become, meaning she could potentially harm her allies unless calmed down. (This can be registered by how bright her eyes glow when she uses her power)


Skills: Free Running - With or without the use of her powers Xena can traverse near enough any type of terrain at an admirable speed, she is particularly adept at traversing cities. She has good muscle definition and a high fitness level so she is capable of pulling off impressive acrobatic feats...even before she's thought about using her mutant ability.

Hand-to-hand combatant - Xena excels in this field though she doesn't always play by the books, over the years she has picked up her skills from various street thugs and even a few classes here and there. What makes her deadly is her ability to mix and match her fighting styles, she's also not afraid to fight dirty.

Weaponry - Though she can use firearms she doesn't like them and isn't a very good shot. She tends to stick to melee weapons, favoring throwing knives which she hides in her clothes, she always has a blade on her somewhere.


Biography: Serena was 10 when the H.U.A was formed and began rounding up the mutants, her mother died during childbirth leaving her and her older sister in the capable hands of their single father. The first 10 years of the conflict barely effected her mortal family and due to Viola's insistence that her younger sister steer clear of it, Serena didn't become involved even when her powers manifested. Serena's powers manifested some time after she turned 15 due to a careless action, after arguing with her sister she ran into the path of an oncoming car, before the car made contact with her she lurched forward in a blaze of neon light. Everyone on the street saw her but Viola was the first person to reach her, both sisters disappeared that day breaking their father's heart and narrowly escaping the government.

Serena changed her name and her appearance drastically but it wasn't enough to keep her hidden. To cover this Viola also went through some changes in order to protect her younger sister, she took on the persona of a man and became involved in shady business with human street gangs. Xena was generally kept out of her sisters dealings to begin with, staying locked away so she could learn to control her powers which took her well into her 16th year of age. Over time she wormed her way into pushing statistics and handling clients for some of her sisters contacts whilst Viola now known as Vincent ran the streets. When the rioting begun Vincent and Xena took to the ground and kept a very low profile, eventually forced to emerge again they went back to their previous life style, however this time Xena was on the frontline along with her brother. Over the last few years the pair have worked as footmen for a couple of gangs, they chose them very carefully only going for ones that were simply out for themselves, scavenging the spoils of war whilst tactfully avoiding it, this became increasingly difficult as the conflict between the factions escalated.

Everything changed when trouble was brought to Xena's door, though Vincent had spent his entire life protecting his sister he ultimately ended up being her downfall. He had secretly been filtering off extra weapons and supplies and sending them to the mutant resistance, it was a small harmless deal to begin with. The gangs didn't notice if a few things went missing here and there in the beginning but after years of warfare the gangs became more protective of their supplies and Vincent was caught out. He tried to get away but the problem followed him back to Xena, pushing the pair into an impossible situation which resulted in Xena having a minor meltdown and using her powers to help them escape.

Knowing that is was only a matter of time before his sister was found, Vincent reached out to his most trusted associates in hope of finding help. Having helped The Pit many times in the past by scoring them weapons or supplies in general Vincent came clean with them about Xena and asked if they could take her in.


Other: Despite her negative view on sentimental items Xena has her mothers engagement ring, it was given to her by her older sister as it is the only thing she has to remember her mother by. She keeps it on a chain and on her person at all times hidden beneath her clothes.

Xena claims to be fearless but she's secretly phobic of snakes and small/tight spaces.

Calling her a 'Warrior Princess' has a 50/50 chance of being accepted as a joke or earning the promise of bodily harm.
