Welcome to the Fold, ladies and gentlemen. Be warned here and now that what you will see lying on these pages will not be sunny, will not be pretty, and will not be fluffy and nice. In this world, no one can afford to fool themselves anymore.
Still here? Good. I appreciate the fact that SOMEONE has still got some balls.
What? Who am I? Well, Since you were SO polite about it, I'll tell you:
My name is Adam Morte, and I'm a product of ReGenesis .
What the fuck is ReGenesis?! If you have to ask that then you must have been locked up in a cave for the last 30 years. Cock your ears, fucko, and I'll tell you about it.
It all started back in the year 2000, when this sapien named Bushwhacker or something like that got elected into office back in what used to be the Unholy Shithole of America. Well, he wasn't even in office less then a year when some guy with a complex decided to knock down a couple buildings with an airplane. Said it was God that led him to do it, but everyone knew better then and now. Well, instead of fixing the economy or bettering the country in any way, Bushwhacker began playing an international game of "Who's got the bigger balls", and in the spring of 2003 he sent some black market nukes out to what used to be the Middle East. Turned it all into one big radioactive sandbox. A few weeks later he was assassinated in office and the next president got elected. Safe to say he wasn't much better.
This particular shitheel decided the only way to win the war was to create the "Perfect Soldier". While doing experiments on some "volunteers", government scientists came across some rather INTERESTING things in some folks DNA. Little bitty things, things standard tests of that day would never have imagined to look for, but what later proved to be majorly significant details. On July 20th, 2008, President Whatshisdick made an announcement that would rip the world to ribbons: There was documented scientific evidence of the existence of non-humans, or "Otherkin". At that time this only meant Were-creatures, but as time went on this came to mean all the types of Fae, Vampires, so on and so forth. You imagine it, science proved its existence.
Well, soon after this grand high announcement, a mass banking of blood tests began across the nation, and whenever people were discovered to have any sort of unexplainably "mutated" DNA, they were locked up in government facilities. These folks were then further examined and tested, and the most "promising" (meaning those who survived) were used in the experiments. Most of the time, this meant two people would be paired up and made to conceive a baby, and the kid probed and prodded from conception to birth, sometimes altered in the womb. These breeding experiments, dubbed the ReGenesis Project, went on from January 2010 to September 2011, when the enemies across the ocean got ahold of some black market nukes of their own, and ripped the USA a new asshole. The war ended in December of that year, and the handfuls of survivors were quietly released. But the experiments will never be forgotten. Especially not by those who lived through them.
I am what was labeled an LS-1-BPS. To translate, LS stands for Leanan Sidhe, the 1 means I was a singleton baby, and BPS means Blood, Psychic, and Sex. I can sustain myself off of all three forms of energy. But I prefer sex. It was through sex that my nature was truly awakened.
I remember the night as if it were just yesterday. It was Halloween 2026, the night of my 15th birthday. I was out in Asimov Park, crashing out in a clubhouse built up in an old oak tree. At that time, I was hanging with a group of wanderers, okay kids except for the Methocaine habit one or two of them had, and the newfound fascination with Trancers nearly all the rest possessed. That night, everyone was completely bonked out of their mind. Don't get me wrong, I never did any of their shit, classic Sativa was my one and only item of choice. Nothing better then feeling the black muck of your life shot through with tendrils of the purest glowing green.
I was lying on my blanket, finishing off my third and final joint of the evening, when I heard something rustling at the other end of the shack. Understandably, this had me feeling quite paranoid, but I knew better then to walk over and investigate. Anything above a loud whisper can throw anyone under Trancers into a total freakout. So I closed my eyes, and focused instead on the pulsing green of the tendrils inside of me. Imagined them rising up and out of my body, rising up towards the moon, outwards towards the others, leaves fanning out, seeking warmth, breath, touch. Seeking LIFE.
I felt a strange soft pain pulsing from the center of my ribcage, like a piercing but in reverse. I opened my eyes and gazed out, seeing thick green vines extending from my body, spreading up and out across the shack, just as they had in my mind. At that time I had no clue faerie glamour was real; I simply convinced myself I had smoked too many joints on an empty stomach. But when the tendrils actually lifted someone from their bed and dropped them into my lap, I knew it was more then just the pot. I took a look and saw the lucky victim was Lilith, another one of the ReGenesis kids. She was a B-3-T; in other words, a Bastet or Cat-Person. And at that moment, she was giving me a stare that could kill any creature, human or otherwise, iron dead.
"What the fuck did you just do to me, Tinkerbell?" she smarted off. I was hesitant to say a word; it took me a moment to remember she was a Telepath.
"Hey, what do you know, I always wanted a leopard skin rug. Maybe this is destiny."
