High in the mountains, to the north of a city called Belhaven, there is located a lab. This lab is hidden inside the heart of the largest of these mountains, and it has been there for many years now. What goes on in this lab is a top secret of the government which has been labeled Project M. What this boils down to is a group of scientists preforming genetic experiments on death row criminals and volunteers of the military.

The goal of Project M is to create a kind of super soldier, a person with incredible powers that could be unstoppable. In the course of their research, scientists have found a dormant gene, present in all humans, that allows for genetic mutations to be tolerable. Before this discovery, many people used as experiments died after being tested.

Now that the ability to awaken this dormant gene has been found, mutants of all kinds have been created. It seems that every gene is unique to the person it belongs to, meaning that so far it has been impossible to be sure that powers the mutation may cause in a person. And because of this, a sub-program was established, called Project M2. The goal of this program was to take successfully mutated test subjects and try to extract their mutations and combine them with those of another.

It was this program, Project M2, that caused all the problems. One night, while they were running an experiment, combining the genes of several mutants into one man, a Private Joseph Cornell, something went very wrong. The genes combined correctly, but he was unable to control his new abilities. There was a huge explosion, which went unknown by the world thanks to the mountains all around them, but it was the radiation created by this man, given off in the explosion, that was the real problem.

This unique type of radiation affects the genes of normal humans, causing them to mutate naturally during puberty. All of the children born around the time of the explosion were affected, as well as those born later to the adults which had cause a dose of the radiation. And so, of the next few generations born, many would become mutants, though no one would know anything until around puberty.

Plot Basics-
An explosion at a secret base working on mutations in humans caused a wave of radiation to wash over the surrounding cities and towns. Belhaven was the closest, and so was affected the most. Children born afterward, and in the following years, would be mutants, though their powers would not come around till about age 13.

The secret lab is still there, and they are monitoring Belhaven. Sometimes people go missing, and it is because they were mutants, taken by the scientists at the lab. No one knows about all of this, however, only that mutants are real and in the city, and all over the world now. Some are good, but most are viewed as evil, a plague on the world.

You come in as one of these mutants. And you will have to deal with what is about to happen, which is that the government is about to step in, arrest all mutants, and put you away, where they will more than likely experiment on you or use you as a weapon to hunt down your own kind. You can be a regular mutant, or one from the military, or the secret lab. Good or bad is up to you.
