Strains

The five variant strains are collated here, with their respective overviews and subtypes. Whilst some variants have been observed to possess abilities which are more limited in scope than their peers, these individual's powers are often more potent than their siblings. Note these are all scientific designations and players are encouraged to come up with their own names for their powers and abilities.

Strain One - Physically strong and resilient. Notoriously difficult to fight head to head. Strain One variants not only seem to have enhanced bodies, but possess a subconscious control over their flesh and can - in some cases - extend this to others, for better or for worse.

Strain Two - A preternatural control over objects and forces makes Strain Two variants supremely dangerous combatants, rivalling the effectiveness of firearms and explosives at range, whilst wrapping the same forces around themselves to nullify harm inflicted on them.

Strain Three - With intelligence rivalling super computers and a creative mind to boot, Strain Three variants can pull correct conclusions from seemingly insignificant data. An inventive streak and the right materials can give them everything they need for a hazardous situation, and overclocking their mental faculties makes their reflexes unmatched.

Strain Four - Minds and perception are toys and games to Strain Four variants. The brain is a delicate organ which these variants can play havoc with, causing internal bleeding and fooling the weak willed. Able to project their own consciousness and read those of others they are perfect information gatherers. Many are able to pass unnoticed too, which can make them the ultimate spy.

Strain Five - Most variants alter the way the world works around them; Strain Five variants alter the way other variants work. More in tune with this new uprising than any other they're able to determine and locate the whereabouts of their kin. When they have located other variants they are then able to start bending the nature of the forces at work within themselves and each other.
