Fallout
Fallout from the North Korean Event, as it cam to be called, affected more then just North Korea. Clouds of radiation drifted over the borders to China, South Korea, and Japan. The ejectus of the explosion covered the Korean peninsula in a thick cloud cover that lasted for years.
It is theorized that the radiation from the explosion triggered a dormant jean within the Human genome, causing certain abnormalities or mutations to present in roughly 10% of the world's population. These mutations are consistent and can be catalogued. They are often referred to collectively as Subhumans.
Trolls:
Trolls are categorized by larger then average size, often reaching seven or eight feet tall. They have particularly thick skin that is almost like callouses, providing extra protection against damage. Their skin can be colored from light gray to bluish-gray.Elves:
Elves tend to be tall and thin with white poofy hair. They are extremely dexterous and higher than average intelligence. Their eyes tend to be some shade of violet, and are larger than normal Human eyes, giving them the ability to see in much dimmer light than normal.Faeries:
Faeries are similar to Elves in that they are small and skinny with poofy hair, though faeries are shorter, rarely growing over four feet tall. They have wings that resemble butterflies and dragonflies, and are typically able to fly using their wings.
Dwarves:
Dwarves are shorter then average Humans, like midgets. Dwarves, however, have thicker and stronger bones than normal. They also have an excess of facial hair, even the females. Dwarves are found primarily in mountainous regions such as the Rocky Mountains in the United States.Yeti:
Yeti are notable for their excessive body hair, causing them to look like animals rather than Humans. They all have an extreme resistance to the cold. Their arms and legs are longer then normal, as are their fingers and toes. Like monkeys, their feet are as agile and dexterous as their hands. Yeti are found primarily in Russia.Merpeople:
Mermen and mermaids are an aquatic mutation of Humans. They grow gills o their necks, and so are able to breathe water as well as air. Their fingers and toes grow membranes between the digits that help them swim exponentially better than any normal Human can. They also grow a membrane over their eyes so that they can keep them open underwater, even in salt water.
Zombies:
Zombies are the most hated of the Subhumans. Their flesh begins to decay and slough off while they are still alive. This can cause a variety of problems for them, especially once their organs begin to be exposed to the air.
