Genetech

Part 7 in the series of minigames in Dungeon/Polyhedron in the early 2000's. Welcome to a world very similar to our own, save that genetic engineering is considerably more advanced. Augmented humans (franks) and animal hybrids (moreaus) have been created and used by governments and secret societies for 20-odd years now. You are one of them, raised in a lab and used for experiments or dangerous tasks in hostile environments where normal humans couldn't survive. You are coming to realise that you're stronger, faster, smarter than your creators and there's a whole world out there. Can you escape and forge your own destiny?

Build 1st level characters with 32 point buy for ability scores. All types of Moreaus & Franks are allowed. Flaws (see Unearthed Arcana) and mutations (see Omega World, non supernatural ones only) are encouraged to reflect that the genetic engineering process still isn't completely stable or predictable. Don't worry about money or equipment, given your starting position.
