[@Fallenreaper] Well the conditions under which one develops powers or becomes Mutant or Meta describes those subcategories. I can also see where the two might be used interchangeably by an uninformed mass, just as people ignorant to different magical practices label all practitioners as sorcerers, mages, witches, etc. To those who don't know their definitions, these words all mean the same thing. 

Also, "Meta-human" might be a larger umbrella term under which mutant, hybrid (such as humans with alien DNA), and etc. would classify as subcategories of Meta.

Isn't the difference, primarily, between sorcerers, mages, witches and etc is where and how they access their abilities? I'm not heavily knowledgeable about the different terms and their uses so I'll admit I'm a bit guilty of this myself. Though if I do know the difference, I make efforts to keep them separate. 

Using Meta as an umbrella term for something like that, I wouldn't have issues with as I never considered it before. Though that would make Meta humans less like mutants and more like enhanced humans to me which is reasonable. Though I do consider the term mutant more associated with the Marvel X-men type and description as few actually have shown up in the IC really. At least those officially claimed and confirmed to be mutants. 

There is a clear distinction between the meta creations of the domes and natural born ones. So the cure, and idea I gave Xer, would still actually work out as the mutations within the genes would be different than those activated by the Domes.

The bad part about a Sandbox rp, namely one as free form where pretty much everything is accepted, is that it makes certain aspects harder. Example is the scientific stuff over how meta humans are created and formed, unless it's the player's own creation and they get another individual willing to make compromises over the over all structure which will be acceptable for both plots/creations.
