[quote=@Tlazolteotl] From the interest check: I was wondering, is this a world where the existence of "mutants" (people who have the viral mutations) is public knowledge? How are people with the mutations usually treated like? [/quote] The existence of mutations is public knowledge. As for how they're treated, it varies from person to person. Some people, like Charlie, believe that regular humans and mutations can coexist peacefully. Others view them as abominations that need to be eliminated. And, still others see mutations as little more than a means to an end for their own wicked goals.
