Factions - Gamma Colony

While select groups of people opted for escape when the world as we know it ended, the many that didn't have the means or connections to flee were stuck and abandoned on the planet's surface. Over hundreds of years, hundreds of millions died from radiation poisoning, hunger, thirst, disease, and warring over the few places of livable land left until the number of human beings on the face of the earth fell so low, that many began to wonder if they were all that was left. Believing that their lives were near an end, they turned to the unknown, praying and worshipping under an all-inclusive spirituality that taught of a "Day of Salvation". No one knew or even tried to guess how this salvation would come to pass but all the members of this widespread belief seemed a much more peaceable people. But by this time, some of the habitable areas had begun to change and expand.
The slow but thorough exploration of the land by the "Mutata"(The name that the survivors gave themselves) uncovered new species of plants and animals. Further investigation uncovered the terrifying nature of these new species and that their entire existence seems to be one of extreme prejudice toward humans. The animals not only naturally defended themselves with great ferocity and efficiency but hunted humans whenever possible. The plants were seemingly all poisonous to the human body if consumed without proper and precise preparation and some species even actively physically attacked animals or humans near them. In the process of discovering and studying these new flora and fauna, the "War of Existence" began anew, dwindling the Mutata population even further.
From this point in their history, details become more ambiguous, but the results of their life on the surface left the Mutata a changed people, well befitting their chosen name. They now display abilities that many describe as "unnatural" or even "evolved". Some say that the Mutata discovered a rare and powerful herb that, after being consumed for nourishment for generations, altered their DNA. Others believe that, just like the animals of the earth, the Mutata evolved to better survive their environment. Still others have subscribed to the belief that they encountered an alien or interdimensional culture that gifted the Mutata their "adaptations". Regardless of their origins, the powers of the Mutata have undeniably been their salvation in a world that is hell-bent on their destruction.
