TCHNCLR14 Some people are born lucky, while others--well, some of us are born anomalous. They call us Aberrates. About 15 years ago the first of us was born, and within five months there were some 200 more of us. Something triggered the birth of a new era for humanity. Our population has been rising steadily ever since, and frankly, it terrifies the adults; when your baby comes out covered in scales or with gills, you'd be surprised how willing you'd be to hand them over to the government, where they're "safe". That's how some kids ended up in the boot camps, being trained until their eighteenth so they can have their superpowered ass carted off to war--these are the kinds of kids who end up cold-hearted and all...messed up in the head. To them, their trainers are their [i]parents[/i], and they're disgustingly loyal to them. The concept's hard to swallow. Some Abberate parents kept us, but really had [i]no idea[/i] how to take care of us.
