[Hider=Westminster]Named after the palace where their meetings once took place, as well as the station within which they now dwell, Westminster is the remains of London's parliament. At one time they held much power in the Tube, though this strength has declined over time. Westminster's authority now only covers the Circle line. Due to a lack of overall military strength required to secure their borders, Westminster often allows people to slip through the cracks so to speak, resulting in other factions residing in stations which the Circle line surrounds. This is an issue for Westminster, as it allows other factions to travel quickly from one side of the Circle to the other without the chance of running into Westminster military. The problem would be easily solved were there more bodies, though Westminster has a hard enough time keepimg the Circle secure as it is.[/Hider] [Hider=The Commons]Members of the House of Commons, who separated from Westminster due to different political ideals. The Commons had pushed for a type of socialist economic system in the Tube, in which all citizens would share what products could be farmed or produced. Some members of the House of Commons disagreed with this, opting to stay with Westminster rather than seceding with The Commons. The Commons have centered their control around West Ham station, allowing them multiple routes of travel from their center. With a large population under their rule and a powerful military force, The Commons have no issues in keeping their borders secure, though the strict socialist regime leaves citizens unhappy and feeling shortchanged.[/Hider] [Hider=The Lords]While not as concerned with economic systems as The Commons, The Lords had their own differing opinions. Many of noble descent felt as though life in the Tube was a fresh start for London, and decided that they wished their nobility to mean something again. The Lords opted for a monarchist political regime, occupying Wembley Park station as their center of command. With this The Lords had a clear route north to Canons Park, the closest station to the Stanburn Blast Shelter where the royal family was moved during the evacuation. The Lords have set up an entire caste system mimicking that of medieval days, with each station under their command considered a fiefdom.[/Hider] [hr] [Hider=Muntjac]This species of small deer have mutated quickly due to their high reproduction rate, growing slightly larger and stronger due to an increase in musculature. Their diet has tilted toward the carnivorous side with a rise in aggression, and in addition to this their fangs and antlers have grown, becoming more suitable for taking down prey. Their fur has become more sparse, mainly growing from the back and on the front of the legs, with the stomachs appearing relatively bald.[/Hider] [Hider=Red Fox]The largest of England's carnivores before the war, red foxes have become a real threat in the ruins of London as the wild reclaims the city. While not having grown much larger in overall mass, the teeth and claws have grown larger. Their families have increased in size, turning families into large roaming packs. As with many of the mutated animals of England, the foxes have increased aggression from their pre-war counterparts, and use their numbers to overwhelm prey multiple times their own size.[/Hider] [Hider=European Bison]While not carnivorous, the bison have grown much more territorial, attacking any creatures which approach. The hide has thickened tremendously, protecting it from most of the other wildlife it might face. Fortunately for the other fauna, the bison's vision has diminished further, and as such it has a difficult time locating enemies by sight. It's hearing and smell have both increased to compensate, though smells alone are not enough to provoke attack. While smells will alert bison to the presence of other creatures, noises are their primary means to locate the enemy.[/Hider] [hr] Apologies again for the wait. Unfortunately my health doesn't feel like agreeing with me for extended periods of time, and so I was unable to do much of anything until today. Thank you all for bearing with me, and feel free to take a look at what I've put down so far. As I said before all criticism and suggestions are welcome. I feel personally that the mutants are a bit plain, so I'm particularly looking forward to seeing feedback on them.
