Chatterbox: Inkwell

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.
