Group of rouge fighters breaks out of the market.

they try to assimilate into society, but have ingrained mutations that, when triggered, cause them to mutate into monsters (i.e Hulk/trigger words)

they have constant fear of mutating and having to run again, or mutating too many times and turning into cancers

Dakota is an already mildly fleshed out character (personality wise) but the fighter can be two people: The broken and fixed or the young and naive

# data[].attributes.body
Set in the distant future, the human body can be edited and changed in the form of cards and computer programming

# data[].attributes.body
Gene Cards contain genetic information that will over ride your current genetic code, and catalyze the production of materials and growth of cells needed to change your current physical form

# data[].attributes.body
The Gene Scanner scans this code from the card and sends this information to the GM to jump start your body into the change requested

# data[].attributes.body
The Genetic Modifier is both the scanner's hold on your nervous system as well as the microbots in your body that speed up production as well as manipulate your body's control center (brain) to the mutation

# data[].attributes.body
Nutritional Catalysts are the pills needed to assist production, not all the materials are found in diet or body

# data[].attributes.body
The barcode is the GM changing the melanin above the scanner to the code number of the GM. This will allow officials to know who you are upon arrest as well as when and where you got your GM implanted. The Code is like a tattoo, and is illegal to remove.

# data[].attributes.body
The mass public only uses GM for two things

# data[].attributes.body
With the breakthrough of GM, genetic diseases (i.e cystic fibrosis) are over. It can change and modify the gene on it's own to extend the lives of those who would previously only live half the life expectancy. It also assists those with hormone based diseases (i.e depression) as well as ending cancer.

# data[].attributes.body
You can now change any part of your body without invasive surgery. It can change eye, hair, and skin color, as well as breast sizes, removal of fat, etc. Anything that was once done with a scalpel can now be accomplished with a swipe of a card.

# data[].attributes.headline
Any other use of the GM or G-Cards is high illegal and can lead to legal consequences as well as social ostracization.

# data[].attributes.subject
Any other use of the GM or G-Cards is high illegal and can lead to legal consequences as well as social ostracization.

# data[].attributes.body
at least for an example of everything that will and can go wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
The difference between legal and illegal G-Cards is the amount of genomebytes in each card.

# data[].attributes.body
These refer to the amount of memory needed to be processed by the GM. Essentially the more Gb, the more work the GM is put through. The higher the amount of Gb in a card, the more likely to cause the GM to create an error, or for the body to essentially fail and die.

# data[].attributes.body
Legal cards contain about 50 Gb max. Illegal cards usually have (but not limited to) 250 Gb. Keep in mind that legal GM's are only built to handle 300 Gb in a single command, illegal GM's can process even more (with a much higher risk to the user)

# data[].attributes.headline
Why would you want to use illegal G-Card?

# data[].attributes.subject
Why would you want to use illegal G-Card?

# data[].attributes.body
To get high off over-production of "feel good" hormones

Change appearance radically (height, body shape, new face, voice, etc.)

Improve body abnormally (equivalent to steroids, or to increase brain mass to be "smarter" or "focus", even to mutate body to be "stronger")

It's all super dangerous and if you want to do these things, you're either erasing an old life, becoming an underground fighter/hitman, or you're a junkie

# data[].attributes.body
the things done with and for G-Cards and GM's are between getting a high after work to secret governments and political plots as well as the black market.

# data[].attributes.body
They come from over the counter legal G-Cards that are erased. What is left is a blank card open to DNA info placement. They then place their own processed genetic code in the card and the illegal card is ready to go on the market.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important to remember that the use of a GM is modifying your base gene, repeatedly, and like most machinery this could create an error, or like most medicene, serious side effects.

Long term heavy (but still marginally healthy) use of GM and G-Cards can lead to Dementia, Hormone related complications (such as stunted growth, early menopause, depression, etc.), accelerated aging, organ failure, and or brain failure. The human organ system was not meant to be overworked to create entirely new features at a hyper accelerated rate. This is why limited use of GM is reccommended.

Extremely heavy use (long term or short term) can lead to Errors, in which the GM scanner glitches and features not requested are produced (extra body parts, ancestral genes leading to scales, feathers, etc., growths, essentially cancer) which lead to permanent deformation, and sometimes mania and loss of memory.

# data[].attributes.body
LOL AP BIOLOGY CAME IN HANDY this is probably all super inaccurate.

This is a How Stuff Works for the GM, or Genetic Modifier, a breakthrough in both medicine and cosmetic surgery made available to the public in mass.

Inserted into any part of the body the customer , the G-Card reader (or G-Scanner) is placed under the skin much like a dog chip.

The chip contains something similar to tentacles that come out of it to connect to your nerve endings. Once the connection is made, microbots that were in the chip are released into the blood stream. Within 24hrs, the chip will have control of the parts of the brain associated with growth, hormones, and production of stem cells.

Now that the scanner has been fully integrated into your system, and there is no rejection (this takes between 2 weeks to a month), you can start using the G-Scanner to use G-Cards. (you will know the G-Scanner is fully integrated if a barcode appears on the skin above where the scanner was placed.)

From here the wonderful world of G-Cards s at your disposal. By simply holding a G-Card above the scanner for about 30 seconds, the Scanner will scan and understand the genetic code within the card. The scanner will then send signals into the brain to create the code. For example, you want to have a different eye color, the GM will override your genetic code, and start the production of cells that have a different color in the eye. This is done at an increased speed (with the help of nutritional supplements to aid the production of cells needed) and within a month, you could have blue eyes, naturally.

# data[].attributes.body
remember that GM also starts cell death and immediately replaces these cells with stem cells.

# data[].attributes.body
It can also use the nanobots as a "virus" which would "infect the cells" forcing them to create the desired product and produce other cells that will do the same

# data[].attributes.body
if you use an illegal modified G-Card you have the risk of getting a "virus"

# data[].attributes.body
The most common virus transmitted via G-Card, it collects the current genetic code of the host then overrides their nanobots to send their genetic code to the a foreign server. The host will not know their genetic code has been "stolen"

# data[].attributes.body
Not very common, and more commonly used for incognito work, to frame someone, or to "get away with murder", Virus& targets the hosts brain and controls them. Depending on the card, this mind control can range for minutes or for a life time. Depending on the complexity, it may force a hormone creating hunger, fear, or anger in the host, or give the virus server total and complete control over the individual via the nanobots.

# data[].attributes.body
Virus^ is also not very common, but is the reason why illegal cards are feared. Like Virus* is extracts genetic info and sends it to a foreign server, but in this process it also kills the host. The killing can rage from sudden organ failure to bursting into tumors, creating a mutated creature hell bent on destruction. <insert resident evil monster>

# data[].attributes.body
also to dispose of the "original" john doe means that the clone of john doe can act under the impression of being john doe.

# data[].attributes.body
viruses that steal information are important for the illegal production of "designer codes" that go well beyond what is humane or safe in GMs. They collect various codes from a pool of individuals, and those who have a higher Gb tolerance or have Code that is more compatible for the desired splice or task are bought and sold through the deep web.

# data[].attributes.headline
How does one begin to make "Designer Codes"?

# data[].attributes.subject
How does one begin to make "Designer Codes"?

# data[].attributes.body
Those who make Desinger Codes commonly go by the term "Tailors".

Tailors all start off with the same program: Genetic Code Processor (GCP)

This was a entry level biology program in colloges and other learning institutions to teach students how G-Cards work, and how these codes can be mended together in safe ways.

With GCP the average college student could splice basic level codes and have a software tell them whether it was safe or not. This program is very basic though, and what is safe is not always reliable. It also does not have an export code option to implement them into any card. Though GCP is practically useless for designing codes to be implemented, it is the basis for every other illegal GM program.

Most GCP Mods are homemade from the Tailor (since most "downloads" are monitored by the police and are traps). But "pieces" of the GCPU (Gene Code Processor Unlocked) are found over the web. Once all the pieces are uncovered, the GCPU software is ready to create and output code.

To export the code onto the card, the Tailer needs a reverse engineered GM that will burn the code instead of scanning it, a well as erase codes from the card for a new code to be implemented.

# data[].attributes.body
This all seems like a real party, but to find the pieces you need to evade malware, cops, and fakes. There is also a hundred things that can go wrong and someone who is eager can easily create a monster with a poorly coded card. To splice complicated codes take time and education in genetics. To scan and burn these codes takes basic understanding of how the GM works mechanically. This is not an easy feat, but the cost profit of illegal cards is easily worth it, even for basic spliced codes

As a computer technician, my clients frequently ask me "Why do people create computer viruses?", especially after I have been called out to remove a virus from their computer. This is what I tell them.

There are hundreds of thousands of viruses out there (if not millions) and they often designed for different objectives. Most of them fall under the following categories:

To take control of a computer and use it for specific tasks

To generate money

To steal sensitive information (credit card numbers, passwords, personal details, data etc.)

To prove a point, to prove it can be done, to prove ones skill or for revenge purposes

To cripple a computer or network

To Take Control of a Computer and Use It for Specific Tasks
This is the most common type of virus, which is better classified as a trojan. These types of viruses are usually downloaded unknowingly by the computer user thinking that the file is something else, such as a file sent from a instant messenger friend or email attachment.

Once the host computer has been infected (known as a zombie computer), the trojan joins a private chat channel and awaits orders from its "Zombie Master". This Zombie Master who is often the virus creator, will gather thousands of infected machines called a botnet and use them to mount attacks on web servers. The Zombie Master can command each of these infected computers will send a tiny bit of information to a web server - because there are potentially thousands of computers doing this at once, it often overloads the server.

The Zombie Master may want to do this to another website because it is a rival website, a figurehead website (such as whitehouse.gov) or it may be part of an extortion plan. "Send me $5000 or your Toy selling website will be offline over the Christmas holidays".

The Zombie Master can also use these infected computers to send spam while the zombie master remains anonymous and the blame goes to the infected computers.

To Generate Money
These types of infections often masquerade as free spyware or virus removal tools (known as rogueware). Once ran, these fake applications will "scan" your computer and say it found has someviruses (even if there arent any) and in order to remove them, you must pay for the full version of the application. A good example of such a infection is called Myzor.fk which we have written about in the past.

Steal sensitive information
These types of viruses can sniff the traffic going in or out of a computer for interesting information such as passwords or credit card numbers and send it back to the virus creator. These types of viruses often use keylogging as a method of stealing information where it maintains a record of everything that is typed into the computer such as emails, passwords, home banking data, instant messenger chats etc..
The above mentioned methods also allows an attacker to gather an incredible amount of data about a person which can be used for identity theft purposes.

To Prove a Point, To Prove it Can Be Done, To Prove Ones Skill or For Revenge Purposes
A perfect example of this type of virus was the famous MS.Blaster virus (aka Lovesan) which infected hundreds of thousands of computers back in August 2003.

This virus would cause the system to restart after 60 seconds and had two hidden messages written in its code:
One was "I just want to say LOVE YOU SAN!!" which is why the virus is sometimes called Lovesan, and the other message was "billy gates why do you make this possible ? Stop making money and fix your software!!"
It is believed that purpose of this virus was to prove how easily exploitable a Windows system is.

To Cripple a Computer or Network
Few viruses now days are intended to disable a computer because it stops viruses ability to spread to other computers. Computer crippling viruses still exist, but nowhere near as common as the viruses mentioned above. The worst type of computer crippling viruses were back in the days of the 486 computers where the virus would overwrite the Master Boot Record (MBR) of the computer which would often prevent the computer from starting up at all.

Unlike computer crippling viruses, network crippling viruses are all too common now days. Most viruses that are designed to launch a Denial of Service attack will cause a significant load on a computer network, often bringing it down completely.

There are people who sell their bodies to be in illegal underground fights where they make //bank//. We're not talking about 20$ bets, we're in the thousands.

Essentially they have a "Handler", who is a fancy word for a personal DNA Designer who creates codes just for them to give them superhuman strength, speed, and even splicing with animal DNA to give them the edge in battle.

Some Fighters do believe this, but those fighters don't live very long and turn into Cancers (massive tumored monsters that are destructive, think resident evil)

Handlers make sure your GM is functioning properly and give it tune ups (considering it is being worked far more than it was built for most of the time). They also check your vitals daily to make sure you're taking the right NCs, pills, and eating the right foods to stay functioning. They let the fighter know which fights to fight, and which will lead to an Error. They ensure the fighter is alive and healthy at all times and avoid health complications

Hitman and Fighters are actually different, despite the fact they are both genetically geared to kill

Hitman don't have handlers. They have changed their DNA once, but to an amount where there is no transformation.
(i.e a hitman has venom in a nail, and if they puncture someone with nail, they will die.)

Fighters need handlers to function, and in a sense are less in control of the task they choose and what they can or can't do. The handler calls the shots, the fighter does the job.

Hitman go to Tailors, Fighters go to Handlers

keep in mind this is also a back fire, since police track the DNA into the Deep web to find the source of the distributer and then to the Tailors it was bought by, and then to the customers of the Tailors.

obviously in this universe theres going to be organized crime and vigilantes because it happens

things are just much more complicated now with the invention of GM. It's features and threats were unprecedented when first hitting pharmacy stores as a replacement for hair dye, and now that the public has them, to take them away would cause mass panic because they have them and we don't.

consider the fact that I'm a freshman college student and the vastness of secret organizations is beyond me, but also consider that this universe has organizations with threats that our universe could not dream of due to the GM.

A conservative anti-GM party, they attempt to, like Blue Boy, show the fallacies of GM. Instead of focusing on the coperate and political manipulation they have on the people, they find the modification to be "inhuman" and instead turn their focus on the average user.

Their goal is to infect iG-Cards and on extremely rare occasions, Legal G-Cards. They are known to use Virus^ to "show the monsters the GM have made us".

They are basically terrorist using monsters to create fear.

GM is like the Mac brand, except it is a monopoly, leading to others making GM that are cheap enough to be used by the poorer demographic

Some of these knock-off GM's are able to "download" iG-Cards via the web

Because Legal GM's are a monopoly, this leads to illegal knock-offs trying to tarnish their name through political plots (like implementing viruses, ect.)

these knock off GMs are highly dangerous, and though sometimes work, they can lead to Errors, and deformation. point blank, they are not always safe
