So to summarize everything you've said (just so I know what I'm talking about):

Some of us are scientists, some of us are subjects.

Subjects are being experimented on for [unknown purpose] and gain special abilities (I suppose they could be disabilities as well).

Abilities/disabilities can be just about anything as long as we can make it sound legit.

Subjects' behavior is being studied in a "normal" environment. 

Kinda vague, I want to know exactly the purpose of the scientists doing the testing, what are they trying to achieve? Cancer cure? Superior human race? Forced evolution?
Perhaps they are using the subjects for different purposes. I'm assuming that most of the POV will be from the subjects, so we don't necessarily have to know the motivations of the scientists, but part of the story would be trying to find that out I assume. I also assume that the test subjects will have no context of life outside of the "lab" or whatever it is they're being held in, either they've forgotten it or were artificially grown. 

It's an intriguing concept, I did a similar RP a few years back about escaped laboratory experiments. It might be fun to try again.
