The Year 2718

Prologue

2682 was the year the world changed. A war broke out and in attempts of winning, a chemical was released into the world. The chemical proved to be much more difficult to control than originally thought. It went out and effected everyone, giving them all different levels of mutations.

Class A:

These people have very minimal mutations, most seem to have no changes. They can be seen with small changes; like eye type or colour, skin colour, small specks of skin covered in feathers or scales, unnatural hair colour, etc. They can also just have mental mutations; like personality changes based on time or setting, gaining knowledge that they would not have originally have for small moments, etc.

These mutations can also be found in animals.

You could say that they are the closest you will find to what beings used to be like.

Class B:

These beings have more physical mutations. These mutations are much more noticeable, although most tend to hide their mutations. These mutations can vary from an extra limb, elongated limbs, odd body shapes, different kinds of limbs; animalistic ears, claws, tails, etc.

These mutations are much more commonly seen among the general population.

Class C:

These beings have much more physical mutations, taking up half or more of their body. Adding onto the physical, it also greatly affects them mentally. These beings are usually a bit mad, parts or most of their mind gone. It can be something that comes and goes or stays permanently. It's usually best to either have them in a psych ward or kept a close eye on.

Class D:

These beings are the most dangerous of all classes. Their mutations take up most or all of their body. They usually aren't even recognisable as a person. Their minds are also completely gone and become very hostile. They attack anyone they see with the intents to kill. These beings are sought to be killed or locked up. There is no hope in befriending them.

Class E:

Last but not least, these mutations are activated after death. It can either bring a person to life, granted they lose all memory of their life before, or brings forth a new creature altogether. No one knows how these creatures come about or their intents, but they can be found observing people from a distance. Don't get too close, however, or they might attack.

These creatures are usually very tall and lanky with elongated arms that reach down to their knees. Their faces have a wide snout, like that of a pit bull, and long pointed ears. They tend to let out long, loud wails. Some believe it's the wails of the person they once were.

The creatures' name varies depending on where you are, but most know them as Wayklag.

{------}

After the chemical was released, all electricity was shut down and people were isolated in hopes of containing the chemical. When chaos ensued and everyone started getting affected, electricity wound up staying shut off. Everyone was too busy trying to survive to bother with keeping it up anymore. Because of this, the world went into a postapocalyptic era. Everyone wound up going back to the bare basics and try to get through with what they can find and scrap together themselves.

Towns have slowly started rebuilding, some staying within the ruins of old towns and cities. With the constant threat of Class D mutants and the Wayklag, the towns all have high security to ensure everyone's safety.

This is what the world has come to.
