armageddon - Home

Humans were running out of time. Their own science, their own knowledge, had caused them to rise above godliness, and they became arrogant. They were powerful, so powerful that they couldn't hold on to it all. They kept on creating, recreating, destroying and remaking. Nothing could stop them. Except disease. In their haste to cure, or destroy, these disease, they created new ones, ones that were more deadly, more fatal, than every before. Panic arose; new medicines were created every day; new diseases also. Until one day, a scientist came forth with a suggestion. The human race was so desperate that they grabbed onto this gladly. And so the true horror began.
Humans with disease were locked away, experimented on, cured occasionally, but most likely killed. Eventually, those with diseases began to hide away, and the humans realised what a mistake they had made, when their loved ones were dragged away, kicking and screaming, to be tortured until they died. And so the scientists came up with a new plan. They began breeding corpses, breeding these diseases within the corpses. They found many more cures this way, and the population was safe from torture.
But occasionally, these dead bodies, these zombies, would create something new. Strains of disease lept from one to another, into new bodies, mingling with new diseases. Radioactivity fed these creatures, and they thrived. They were mutants, malformations, feared and hated by the people of Earth.
The humans managed to keep these mutations in isolation - or most of them. The more common ones became almost pets, caged, chained up, and examined. But the rarer ones, the ones who managed to escape... These ones were the ones to worry about. Rarely coming into contact with humans, they spent their lives lurking in the shadows, avoiding everyone, lest they meet the same fate as their cousins in the cages. But they all wanted one thing - the death of the humans. And as they waited for their chance to come, they evolved, growing more powerful and more deadly then ever.
But the humans knew something like this was inevitable, and so they began their new breeding program. They bred the mutants, creating newer, more vicious, more deadly ones for their own protection. They trained these creatures, taming them and teaching them to kill.

And so the war began. Mutants were hunted down and killed. Scientists were found murdered in their beds, their hearts ripped out or their bodies savaged. Civilians cowered underground while their protectors, the mutants, were torn apart by the hybrids that wanted them dead. Some humans joined the war physically, kitting themselves out with guns and going hunting for hybrids. And some mutants and hybrids refused to join the war, living in hiding and killing only to eat.

This is armageddon.
