"What has made the state a hell on earth has been precisely that man has tried to make it heaven."-Holderin
Broken glass crunches under your feet. Logically, you should be feeling pain, yet even the sound of crunching is not enough to trigger that response in your mind. Not when the only thought echoing through your mind is the pure fact that you are free. Free. What year is it now? It should be close to 1900 at this point. You go to take a step, then stop. Panic sets in for a moment, covering the pure sense of elation pulsing through your veins. You were never meant to get out. You'll never be accepted into society the way you are. You're a monster. A freak.
Shooting up in your bed, you feel the thin mattress beneath your legs. The drab grey of the walls around you haven't changed. None of that was real. At this point it might be hard to discern whether what you experienced was merely a dream, or the crazed imaginings of shattered mind. Slowly, you lay back down and take a deep breath, hoping to lull yourself back into a dream. Maybe this time it will actually be peaceful.
You're in a dimly lit room, illuminated only by a sliver of light shining in below the door. A fluorescent light buzzes to life above you. After a moment is given for your eyes to adjust, you are able to look around yourself, seeing a stainless steel table matching the chair you are currently sitting in. The entire situation seemed akin to the stereotypical police interrogation room. A speaker placed in the roof above you emits a loud static noise, before a robotic female voice starts speaking. "Hello, and welcome to your new home. Now this may not seem like home quite yet, but we're sure you'll adapt soon enough. If you do not know what we do here or why you are here, let me explain all this now. We are the top leading research facility when it comes to advancements in every aspect of biology. You might be wondering, if that's the case, then why haven't I heard of you before? Well, that is because in order to pursue the level of science and experimentation we achieve, we need to keep ourselves from the public eye. Run exclusively by the government, this allows us the freedom to explore scientific measures unable to be achieved by those outside these walls. However, pursuing this level of science requires test subjects. That is where you come in. You were specifically chose from your situation and brought here. Whether it be for your resilience, intellect or DNA, you were chosen, and now have the opportunity to better the lives of millions of people, simply by participating in the experiments laid out for you by our wondrous and well-educated staff. Hopefully you will live a long and prosperous life, knowing that the sacrifices of you and your peers will be used in order to bring prosperity to all of mankind for years to come. Good day."
Before you get a chance to react to the news you were just given, the door slams open and two masked masked individuals walk in. They grab you by your arms, dragging you out of the room. As you move out, you see a hallway stretching to the left. Smells permeate the air, giving you thoughts that are anything but pleasant. They move choose instead to take you forward, where a length of cells exists. Without any other choice, you feel yourself being dragged along the rows.
To your left, Cell 1 has a crumpled figure sprawled out on the small bed, claw-tipped hands clamped over his ears. Pale eyes stare at you as you walk past with pupils dilated to pinpricks and canine teeth protruding from his bottom lip. His sunken face adds to the animalistic traits to the figure seems to have compiled. Stitched wounds can be seen on the back of his neck, the skin a dull, bruised, purple. The plate in front of his cell reads Beast #004
To your right, Cell 2 lies empty. It's bars are made of iron.
To your left, Cell 3 has a pale girl looking up at you with icy blue eyes. If it weren't for the subtle movement of her breaths, you might think she were dead. Her white hair and clothes contrast the dark metal of the bars in front of her cell. You can see stitches in various places over her body, and it looks like her skin colour slightly changes in a few areas. The plate in front of her cell reads 1226-Albino
To your right, Cell 4 has a beautiful woman in it, at least, she would look beautiful if it weren't for the large muzzle covering her mouth. Her eyes are glazed over with a milky film that tells of blindness. She has scars lining the length of her body, especially in the area around her vocal chords and ears. She sits with a relaxed posture in the far corner of her cell. Her head tilting with interest at the sounds of people walking through the area. The plate in front of her cell reads Siren #0.0
To your left, Cell 5 holds a very skinny shirtless man, he seems a bit older than the ones in the cells before him, though he's just as lifeless, if not more so. His back faces you, his spine visible through his back, yet the rest if him is nowhere near as skinny, he shivers slightly as you pass by, not even daring to look back as the footsteps he hears near his cell recedes. The cell is surrounded by some type of bulletproof glass.
To your right, in Cell 6 there sits a tall and severely malnourished ginger boy, with a relaxed and almost blank expression. He is shirtless, showing off long and darkened marks tracking over his otherwise pale and freckled skin. His arms and legs are wrapped in tight, leather restraints, in which he absentmindedly tugs at from time to time. His eyes don't leave yours and his cranium cocks to the side the slightest bit, as if he is sizing you up.
To your left, Cell 7 has a short but fairly pretty girl sitting calmly, a long white dress covering her arms and down to her ankles. The dress is taken in the middle, showing a rather thin and malnourished body. Black muffs cover her ears and a blindfold covers her eyes, so she stares straight at the bars.
(Also, I can add more cells if needed, this isn't a limit, I just thought I'd give an idea.)

- Don't insult other people (basic but whatever)
- The things done to your character have to be at least a bit grotesque, no "they gave neko-chan ears so neko-chan is super cute!" No. These are bad things.
- Remember the time frame we're in. No tattoos unless they're horrible infected or done poorly because this is before tattoos were accessible
- Just tell me if you won't be around, it's no big deal
- Try to avoid super power things. They did not inject your character with a chemical that made them invincible blah blah blah no.
- That being said, I'm okay if some people want to have supernatural-esque things happen to them. Did they try to connect a ghost to you? Did you have slight psychic powers that they're torturing you to try to activate? That's alright
- Your character cannot act out too much without consequences. These are people that are more than happy to kill you.
- Eventually I might be open to creating some permanent scientist characters, so let me know if that's really what you want to do
- I'm fine with swearing, but let's just keep it as mild as we can manage
- Please avoid le edge lords. Thnx.
