ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This thread contains plenty of information about the member ranks alongside the various places and even the enemy in our wonderful forum. For the most part this helps to know some of the different things about our site.
REGULAR
Regulars are plain old people. The Maras didn't effect these people, thus their name, Regular. They have been known to carry more weapons than other survivors since they lack abilities to protect themselves. Regulars are often more accepted in the Aimon Settlement since they're safer than the various other ranks.
GIFTED
This is one of the three human sub-groups created by the effects of Maras. Madman's Maras component managed to alter their genes and allow them to access various abilities. Unfortunately each ability seems to have their own unique weakness. Gifted often have 1-3 different abilities that may relate to one another or not. At max gifted can have 2 larger abilities and 1 smaller one since this seems to be the most they can control. They're one of The Aimon Settlement's top concerns since they can lose control of their abilities.
MUTANT
Another one of the three sub-groups of humans that were effected by Maras. Instead of receiving amazing powers they received physical mutations. These physical mutation can range from a variety of different features, but the common trait found is that each one looks remotely human. This is believed to be due to the fact that the bio-weapon didn't have enough power to completely alter a human being. They're often accepted into the Aimon Settlement since they can usually control themselves.
GIFTED MUTANT
Obviously this last sub-group is a mixture of the two other sub-groups. Most people are wary of this sub-group since they're both gifted and mutated. They are able to use various abilities, each having their own weaknesses like gifted ones, but they can also have mutations like wings, fangs, animal traits and whatever else. They're rarely accepted by the Aimon Settlement since they're extremely concerned about them losing control.
THE AIMON SETTLEMENT
After the initial explosions and a few weeks of recuperating a group of people gathered and took over the west side of Nootau. These people were referred to as the Aimon Settlers and they created a stronghold to keep themselves safe from the mutated animals that can be found. They have walls around their compound and within the compound there are many apartment buildings. The survivors here dislike outsiders and are very uneasy about the various sub-groups that were created by Maras. They work together and often have the most weapons out of all the survivors.
IONA ISLAND
Iona is the fictional island where the city of Nootau is located. It's a Canadian island off the coast of British Columbia that's relatively small. Most people find that Iona is a beautiful island with lush greenery, but when Madman was launched at it the island suffered some damages. The people were fortunate to only be subjected to the smaller bombs that wouldn't destroy their precious home.
MUTATED ANIMALS
When Madman struck it seemed to have a very different effect on the wildlife found on Iona Island. Unlike humans a majority of the animal's brains were effected by the maras within Madman which left them to be rather vicious. They grew various abnormalities, some even gaining powers like gifted people. They're the main enemy in the post-apocalyptic world and are often trying to hurt survivors. On rare occasions they can be tamed and used by survivors. These creatures are often banned from entering certain areas in the Aimon Settlement.
