DarkLight City
Welcome to DarkLight City, home to the very interesting but entirely unknown new human species commonly known as DarkLightians. These DarkLightians are the children who grew up in the near by Orphanage, and have sense either been released due to age, adopted out, or escaped, although escapees are few and far between.
The city is a rather dark place. Many of the streetlights have been busted out by reckless teens and trouble makers, and even in the daylight, the city is covered in shadows because of the sky scrapers which are everywhere.
DarkLight Orphanage
This isn't exactly your everyday orphanage. Most are dying to get rid of their charges, and for various reasons. They either want to make room for more needy kids to come in, or need to make money in order to keep up their facility. This orphanage is nothing like that. They want nothing more than to keep their charges, for as long as possible. They very rarely adopt out their children, only once or twice a year, and only the older ones. It's almost impossible to get a younger child from here. But that's because these children are special.
The orphanage is merely a front. The DarkLight government has been doing research for almost thirty years on animals. They have been taking the genetic codes of animals, or their D.N.A., and injecting it into human children. Each child gets three animals, and the younger the specimen, the better the affects are able to take hold, and the longer the child has to learn to use their new found abilities. These children are known as the DarkLightians, dubbed so by the DarkLight Scientist who have been doing the research.
The orphanage is situated on a very large expanse of land, and is surrounded by a thick forest for almost two miles in every direction. But this forest is an odd one. For there aren't any animals in the forest, save the birds. They've all been run out by the DarkLightians. There is a very high fence that goes all the way around the perimeter, which helps to prevent runaways and escapes, but when you have children with such awesome abilities, these things do happen, especially once they get older.
The DarkLightians
This is a very special group of people, ranging in ages from 1 to 30. Each individual has some very interesting skills, and has been trained to use their skills to their utmost, and most lethal, potential.
DarkLightians roam the streets of DarkLight City, as well as plenty of the younger generations still living in the orphanage. The ones who have escaped are living either in the sewers, alleyways, or some even have taken to camping in the National Forest. Those of them able to get jobs have been able to get apartments, or low income houses. Very few have made it into the suburbs, but a few of the clever ones have made it, and some have made friends and have moved in with them.
Each member of this race has three different species of animal D.N.A. added into their own. These "genetic cocktails" as the scientists call them, give the DarkLightians access to some of mother natures greatest attributes, but they have been magnified. Those with some Cheetah in their cocktail are able to run and move much faster than the average human, even faster than the eye can see once they get older, if you have some Falcon, you can focus your vision as you please to zoom in on a book someone is reading up to a block and a half away, as well as their hearing. And the list goes on.
So now, you have some decisions to make. Which animals will make up your genetic cocktail? size][/blockquote][/blockquote]
