Don't let it ruffle your feathers, my liege.
The Institute - A Found Family Metahuman RP
In upstate New York, in a remote area near the town of Springdale, stands the unremarkable brutalist façade of the Arden research institute, a privately run scientific research center funded by the reclusive billionaire, Hezekiah Arden.
The research center operates independently, and little is known about the inner workings of the organization.
Little does anyone know, but the institute's unassuming exterior masks one of the most advanced scientific laboratories in the world. And within the confines of this highly secured laboratory, an experiment of world changing scale has been taking place.
Across the country, in small towns and out of the way places, a collection of teenagers have disappeared. Their disappearances have gone largely unnoticed as many came from broken or challenging homes, or were known to be runaways and delinquents. In many of the cases, the parents of the missing teens are found dead of mysterious heart attacks, carbon dioxide leaks, house fires, or car accidents. The authorities have not noticed the connection between these cases.
In reality, these teens have been captured by agents working on behalf of the Arden research institute. They have been forced against their will into three months of genetic experimentation to unlock the evolutionary potential in their biology. They will be the first genetically engineered metahumans.

You will play as one of these young adults, who band together to escape the institute and form a found family as they flee the agents of the institute and try to find a safe haven.
