OOC IS OPEN AND ACCEPTING CHARACTERS
Back Story
Life for a Mutant in the metropolis has improved radically since their first discovery but its by no means perfect. Until a very recently, Mutants had to be checked up on regularly. Much like Nuclear power plants, it only takes an statistically insignificant number of them to go off to convince the public they are unsafe. James "Fast Hands" McDuff, Robineski the Cold, スーパーマン and The Greater Houdini are names etched into the public conscience as evidence that many with power don't have the responsibility. Even when they are using their powers responsibility, many object to the vigilante behaviour, especially when it circumvents the justice of the court. Despite this, this hasn't stopped those with powers who kept them under wrap from thriving in modern day society. Like I said, until very recently.
ORACLE was rolled out to every hospital in US in 1993. ORACLE was the brain child of a mutant arms development company under the bank roll of the government and its purpose was prevent every future category 3 Mutant event ever taking place. For reference:
A category 6 Mutant has an ability that is both self contained and non-destructive, like healing factor or age control
A category 5A Mutant has an ability that is self contained but potentially destructive, like Metal-morphosis
A category 5B Mutant has an ability that is non-destructive but not self contained, AoE Healing
A category 4 Mutant has an ability that is destructive at short range, damaging touch
A category 3 Mutant has an ability that is destructive at long range, fire breathing
From here the categories get a touch obscure as cases are few and far between.
A category 2 Mutant has an ability that threatens many lives simultaneously
A catagory 1 Mutant has an ability that threatens whole countries
A category 0 Mutant has an ability that threatens the entire Earth
While it was first perceived as yet more control of Mutants it later developed that ORACLE would replace many of the restrictions placed on Mutants. A single retinal scan replaced numerous psychiatric tests and visitations. Not much is known about how the system works but to most Mutants, it doesn't matter. All category 3 and above mutants now enjoy more or less the same rights and freedoms as non-mutants and any dependencies are well on the way to being ironed out.
Plot
When the Historians read back on the events that are about to occur they find it all started at an election rally in New York. Today, Mutants and non-mutants gathered to hear from Caitlyn Curie, a pro-mutant Republican candidate. While many are there in support, there are a few that aren't. In the days and weeks leading up to the event many groups and organisations have spoken out. The "Homo Sapien Interest Council" says it will be protesting the event as Curie's views are not in the US' best interests and in stark contrast to her own. The "Genodivergent Justice League" will be staging their own demonstration to highlight that Curie hasn't gone far enough.
You attended this event along side the masses and you play a part in how it unfolds.
