This just seems like too convoluted. It'd be more concise if the CASTOR itself caused the apocalypse. This doesn't have to be like Half-Life universe where Portal Storms were the catalyst for Combine invasion later on. It fit the theme of corporate might manipulating government to have its way, only for all of it to backfire with latter having to deal with the mess and former to act like vultures on the situation.

An idea I had, which you could argue tip-toes super powery, but at the very time is very much a mutation is self dilution.
The mutant would have the ability to dilute their body to ways where their existence lessens, and realities grip on them lessens. Allowing them for lesser-sense of gravity along with lower tangibility so the ability to walk through objects.
Yeah, this is a good example of causing division between people. To me, this seems a lot more like a superpower, and I feel like people would agree to that however. You, on the other hand, see this as passable, as would other people agree. You're defying gravitational laws here from the sounds of it, and gravity is pretty consistent on places like Earth (things get crazier between celestial entities, suns slurping each other up like cannibalistic bowls of spaghetti, or the things that are black holes).

But how do you control someone else's blood?
Let's ask the man himself who did it, shall we? He should know the best.
@rapidjuice What was the science behind Archie Sangs' (surprised I still remember that name) ability to manipulate blood of others?
How do you control gravity? How do you control black holes?
Would probably be best answered by those who had such mutant characters. Everything's gotta have some sort of explanation to it, even if it's not as reasonable to you as it was to them.

What happened to this thread?
People got off the topic once the original question got answered, recounting FTRP and what its failures and pains on the side were. WW3RP became a topic too, somehow. When people (myself included) get a chance to ramble more about the past, that chance is taken hook, line and sinker.

ngl

ftrp set in somewhere like scotland/wales where it can be rural and use the hl2 mountain maps would be good
like imagine learning what's been said here

player freedom is a driving force, the small group have powers that are roughly equal/useful and develop as they go on their journey
the story itself is linked to the characters that are taking part, they decide where to go and how to do things with minimal guidance

would be spicy, the GMs would need to react in real time to choices being made

better yet

have a single overarching objective (stop the raper gang, deliver the package etc) that can be accomplished through any means necessary or can just be ignored entirely

id personally love to see frundtech where it's a small group in a militant, mostly rural area mostly pure having to make their way out of the place now that they've been mutated (im thinking eastern europe, some chechnya shit)

start it with a nice prison-break style sequence from inside of a lab or smth, put em in a rural landscape as they learn a lot about themselves and each other, before getting utterly decimated by some hyper-religious militants who're out hunting some mf abominations, before then rushing for the fastest way of escaping the general area, probably coming across a nice group who'd turn out to betray them
