Apocalyptic Mutant RP!
Some of y’all remember this, right? I edited it a bit. We’re starting over, clean slate, etc. Feel free to use your old characters if you want to. New people are very welcome to join. And without further ado, here’s your introduction.
_____________________________________________________________
2028
A science lab exploded.
Four scientists were killed in the explosion, and the remaining three found that numerous chemicals had spilled into a container and somehow survived the explosion. Upon testing the mixture, they identified the chemicals and recreated it. The scientists tried to find out what the solution did by testing it on a rat, but nothing happened. They weren't sure what to do with the chemicals, but then one of them had an idea:
What would happen if they mixed animal DNA with the chemicals?
They mixed lizard DNA--that being what was on hand right then--with their chemical solution, but before they could test it on the rat, it splashed back onto two of the scientists. They immediately mutated into strange, lizardlike creatures. Still vaguely humanoid, they had rough scaly skin, small sharp teeth, hooked claws, and tails. The remaining scientist, instead of being terrified, was fascinated by the mutation. Unfortunately, he was very greedy, and instead of sharing his discovery with others, he killed the mutant scientists, and kept the secret to himself. Over the next few years, the lone scientist experimented with his chemicals, testing them on human victims instead of animals, and becoming ever greedier and more twisted in the process. Eventually, for no specific reason, he created a huge amount of his mutation chemical, and combined it with DNA from hundreds of animals.

2031
The apocalypse.
The lone scientist, having killed hundreds of animals for their DNA, created an enormous bomb, filled with enough mutation chemicals to spread across the entire continent. When he set it off, he was killed in the initial explosion, but thousands of people were mutated across North America. The chemicals somehow seeped into the ocean, and over the years, the mutation spread over the entire planet.
~~~
2034
The wasteland.
For three years now, the world has been a barren wasteland, only the strongest and the cleverest surviving, searching for the few oases remaining in the endless deserts. For it's all deserts now, whether or not it’s hot or cold. The endless search for water has driven many mad, adding to the dangers. But now, a strange sickness is spreading, traveling from person to person at an alarming, almost impossible rate. Symptoms include unusual exhastion, hunger and thirstiness, and sometimes nausea. The illness is caused by traces of the mutation chemicals remaining in the water, and the only cure lies in the minerals of the oasis waters. To save the mutants, a select few mutants with strange and unique abilities must find each other, travel to one of the oases, and find the cure, it’s mineral-dense waters. These mutants have never met each other however, and the hardship they have encountered has hardened them, to the point of hostility rising to impossible heights. They must overcome their misgivings and travel the wasteland, dodging insane mutants and sickness, to reach their goal. But, if they catch the sickness, they will slowly weaken, and eventually they will die.

Mitra breaks the silence. "So... Okay, you know the plague? We need a cure. If we work together we'll have a better chance of finding an oasis."
I blink at her. "Okay first of all, what? Second of all, I'm not actually shocked that you're the first one to suggest this. Third, how is us finding one oasis supposed to cure everyone who's sick? And how are we supposed to know if that oasis in particular is one of the healing ones?"
Mitra flinches almost imperceptibly. "I... hadn't thought that far ahead yet."
"And that's why its a terrible idea," I start, but Logan interrupts the beginning of my rant with an annoyingly calming hand on my shoulder.

I put my hands on my hips. I tried to make friends with Karen, but if she won't, then fine. "First of all, what exactly is that supposed to mean? And what do you want to do about the sickness? Stay in your hidey hole where it's safe? One oasis will be a start. We can put it on maps, and even if it's not a healing one, the water will help everyone. And then we find more. I know it won't be easy, but with this many mutants, it's hard to go wrong, right? And I don't see anyone else coming up with a better idea."

Sorry, Nyx, I haven't been around much. This was kinda written on-the-spot. I hope others will come back.
Also if this balloons into a big argument, then I'll bring in my other charrie Ben because he's all diplomatic and stuff. :)

I'm starting to get a bit sick of those two arguing in the front seat, so I try to catch up on some sleep.
As I drift into dreamland, everything starts to become very blurry. As it focuses, I spot two scientists walking down an empty hallway. They are talking quietly, and walking very fast. As if something is chasing them.
As they continue walking, I am transfered into the eyes of one of them. I turn around, and see the other scientist wearing gas mask. They are talking quickly, and I start to make out what they are saying.
"-there is no way that's correct. It is extremely uncommon for the sideffects to include mutation."
I start talking without knowing, but I realize that I'm just seeing the pov from someone else's body.
"Yes, it's uncommon, but there still is the chance. We need to release all the mutated into a safe space."
"Like route 34?"
"Good idea, I'll radio captain up."
I pull out a small phone, and just as I dial the captain, my dream fades away. I awake with a jolt.
I quickly look around, and see I'm lying out on the ground. I get up, and the bright sun starts making my eyes water. I turn around, and see I'm at an abadoned gas station.
Wait. Where is Dante? Where are the rest of those people I met? I get up, and start walking towards the gas station. Did they just abadoned me?
I try thinking of ways to find them, but my dream just can't leave my mind. I plop down on a worn-out leather couch. Did I just see inside someones mind? That's freaky. What I was seeing must have been pre-outbreak.
And then I notice a little sign outside, saying: "Welcome to Route 34! Enjoy your stay!"
Oh shoot. I'm stuck at the mutated-person dump.

My eyes slowly flutter open. I grab my glasses, stand up, and start looking for food. There isn’t much left. My voice echoes. I think Tyrann left yesterday. We are the only ones left. I’m not sure why I am still here, why my sister is in the corner, slowly losing her mind. I should have gotten her home two months ago. Today is as good a day as any, I suppose. I take advantage of my sister’s deep sleep, sling her over my shoulders, and start making my way to the door, when I notice a figure on what used to be Tyrann’s couch. I want to yell something, but I can’t wake my sister, so I wait.

Her sister is a fox mutation, named Flare. If you’d like, I can make a form for her.
