The World and Peoples of Bioquest
The storms of the Cataclysm wreaked havoc not only on the environment but also on the fabric of society.
In the centuries that followed new groups arose to power. Here is a brief primer to get to know them:
In the centuries that followed new groups arose to power. Here is a brief primer to get to know them:
The Family
The concept of The Family, as an agency to strengthen the underground and liberate the world governments, was begun by Katherine Hunter who paid dearly for her stand against The Corporation. After her death Joan and Jonathan Wakefield took on the mission of The Family. Despite her position as a Corporate Manager, Madame Wakefield is well renown within the underground though to those who know her best she is a tired, stuborn old woman who misses her friend, Katherine, very much.
The Corporation
The Corporation was, at one time, known publically as The Green Leave organization and did infact save all of humanity from the great storms of the ecological disaster. Surely that gives them the liberty to continue to guide the evolution of humanity, and surely that must justify their research of the human genome and the mandate of life quotas for those individuals within the cities. Plus, as long as the world governments still believe they are the ones running the show they arent stiffling free will so, when you think about it, they have made the perfect utopian society. Sure, that nagging survival instinct lingers in humanity and there are some who oppose them, but that can and will be dealt with very VERY soon.
The M' Class Anomalie
They have awsome special abilites and look like monsters what's to understand?
They are clones and therefore less than human anyway so why think of them as anything but biological weapons?
Well, regaurdless of what anyone may think of them they are a mystery and a force to be dealt with. Their loyalty may decide the fate of all so you might want to be nice to them. If you see them as human and even as friends you had better watch out, the world is on their heels and most anyone who helps them ends up in a heep of trouble or else dead.

The Clans
The oldest and largest of the underground organizations, they pre-date the Family by several centuries and in that time have become a collective of several distinct groups overseen by a select group of their leaders known as the Council of Elders. These are their best known scions.
The Minstrels
Also known as the Birds due to their tradition of choosing bird names for their members...
The Prophets
The smallest and most hunted of the clans...

The Underground Children
A part of the clans and yet separate, the Underground Children evolved out of the same same original group of people as the rest of the clans and fall under the leadership of the Council of Elders.
