Shadows on the Rails



There were always rumors floating around the large, never sleeping, city of Greyholm that something was inhabiting the abandoned rail yard just outside of the city. It had been put out of commission for fear of a chemical spill that to this day cannot be proven or denied. Although it is home to rodents, decaying train cars, buildings, and other such things including your occasional squatter... no one believes the existence of the so called "beats" that lurk there. Most dismissed these tales as nothing but things to scare children from going to explore the potential irradiated area. Yet the appeal of a forbidden and potentially dangerous area was too great to resist as four young adults had dared and bet each other to venture into the supposedly haunted location and spend the night.
 
Unknown to the four, the rail yard is in fact inhabited by something, or someones rather. For years it has been the dumping ground of a man's rather... peculiar experiments.  He had taken an interest in modifying and manipulating the human body to his will. More often than not it was animal parts being shoved onto unsuspecting victims who were in the wrong place at the wrong time, others were more fortunate and had their minds tampered with in unnatural ways giving birth to extraordinary abilities. But because of this divide, if you will, tension has been brewing. The Pack has long since created a strict hierarchy where the fittest excel and The Order has longed to rid those so called "pests" and take their place as superior.
 
So...what happens when these four, innocent, humans get caught up in this mess? Will they take a side, or try to escape with themselves intact?



Alright! That was a dramatic mouthful so let me do some explaining. This roleplay will be a war between human/animal hybrids and meta-humans (those with mental enhancements) with a few humans caught up in the center of it all unintentionally. Me and the ever lovely @Vampunk will be GMing this one and that means WE will be selecting what your character is afflicted with as courtesy of the crazed scientist. You will be able to choose whether they are human or have a physical or mental ability, but the rest will be up to our sadistic caring selves. To further enhance this, we won't even be deciding for our own characters but for one another, which, now that I think about it, isn't the best idea... >.> This will require at least a meaty paragraph per post (more is always lovely though!). Anyway, onto some more important things!


Factions



The Pack - Ruled by the Alpha and his few most trusted, they are usually one of the stronger and more intelligent hybrids, knowing what's best whether it be words or actions. They have a strict social order where those that favor the Alpha and can hold their own are treated much kinder than those that dislike their rule or are unable to fend for themselves. There is also a bit of racism, as the type of animals are respected in this order: canines, felines, birds of prey, birds of Paradise, other avians, reptiles, with amphibians, fish and rodents being the lowest of all.
Spots: Three remaining, @Vampunk, @DergTheDergon
 
The Order - This is a more civilized society that is ruled by the high council, or the most skilled mages within their ranks. Being the arrogant bastards that they are, they believe that they are more superior than their "hideous" counterparts and in turn should wipe them out least they begin to spread to human's knowledge prematurely. The Enlightened, as they refer to themselves as, are more often than not in control of one element but other powers such as telekinesis and manipulating one's physical form are all possible.
Spots: Three remaining, @shadowz1995, @StoneWolf18
 
The Uncertain - These are both hybrids and mages that have been exiled out of, left, or are unsure of their respective faction's views. They are usually frowned upon as they are unpredictable and pose a threat to both factions should they try to contact humans as most long to return to such a society.
Spots: Two remaining, @Petroshka, @TheHappyPikachu, @Eternitycode
 
The Humans - They are your everyday Joes and Janes that wanted to try and see if they could explore the rail yard. These four have no clue about the existence of the science experiments that they are about to encounter. 
Spots: Two remaining, @Clairvoyance, @Whisker

Now, it says they are pompous fucks. Must I play as a pompous fuck?
 
Well, well, well, seems that I'm going to have to take so many new people under my wing since I'm the Pack leader.


*hint hint*
 
I refuse to be the in the "lowest of them all" category, jesus Christ

Not necessarily, but they most often have some form of disdain towards the hybrids. If they openly were for them, they'd be thrown out almost instantly or tried for treason.

@StoneWolf18 Ah, thank you. Very briefly, could you possibly go over what you expect from each member? Like, post length, how frequently we post, ect. I may be interested. (You caught me at a good time @TheHappyPikachu, I just finished midterms.)
