Mutants

Mutants are the product of Shimari's Stones or the result of an unusual strain of thread. A person affected by these stones or strands of thread are marked by them, and their children would have strange abilities or looks, with a matching scar in the same place and the same shape as their parents. The scar would be one or two colors - the color of their primary mutation and fading into a second color if they had a secondary mutation. Mutations 'breed true' meaning that they are passed on through the generations. A specific mutation can be passed on through two different families--in other words, a mutation can have two different Carriers. However each family's mutation has its own strengths and weaknesses. Although the mutation in family members are related, they do have their own individual traits.

For example if there are two families for a mutation such as "Acid Generation." Perhaps Family A would naturally secrete acids (passive) and Family B would have to invoke the power (active). However in Family A, A1 may secretes the acid through his sweat, but his sister A2's acid is secreted through her saliva. In Family B, B1 has to be touching the object he wants to use his acid on and B2 can cause the acid formation by concentrating on it (if the target is within the room) and does not have be in contact for it to work.

The child of two scarred parents would have a new scar, that has elements of his/her parents scars. In the cases both parents have the same type of mutation (IE both mental or both physical) one of the mutations would be dominant. For example Parent A had astroprojection (mental) with the scarstone being a circle on her left hip and Parent B had telekinesis (mental) and the scarstone a star on her lower back the offspring might have a scar on the lower back close to the left hip with the scar being a pentagram and its mutation would be either astroprojection or telkeinesis.

In the case of a person that is both a mutant (or carrier) due to a scarstone and a mutant (or carrier) due to a threadscore, these mutations would inherit independently of each other and remain distinct scars. This would be the only way to have a character with two mental mutations or two physical mutations

The first table details the different mutations and the scar color associated with it. The second table tells where the scar is located. A star will be put on the first table if two families have a mutation. In the second table there will be other markings for if you need to ask to join a mutant of that kind or not. The last table is for mutations that are inherited by threadscores
