>>>>>>>>>> History <<<<<<<<<<
Mutants have been around forever, they are not so much an evolutionary phenomenon, but simply people in whom the normal recessive genes becomes dominant. The Bible spoke of the mighty men; some people believe that these men were the result of angels having children with human women. However during the flood all of them were killed. The gene must have survived to live in Noah and his family because throughout the ages stories have been told of great men and women who did things that normal humans could not.
The gene continued to spread but it was very rarely present. Some present day mutants believe that several of the people put on trial for being witches and warlocks, like those during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692-93 were actually mutants. Over the ages there have been many mutants who were considered great, some had visions, some were extremely intelligent, some had gifts with music, art, or literature, some had a powerful charm, some worked with machines well, and some had animal-like instincts. There where also those who created disasters, often times unknowingly. The second keyword is listentothewindsing. But as the world aged and more and more things changed the mutant gene became dominant more often. It is the belief of some that certain chemicals and machines lowered the human’s ability to fight the gene. Either way it grew and became an issue, there were several untrained mutants running around able to hurt innocent people. Some governments saw the mutants as weapons, but more often than not the plans backfired as the abilities were not honed.
In 1895 three wealthy mutant men came together to create Dynatos, it was originally set up like a normal school and the children went home after their classes. However several families did not want their powerful young ones back. Many ended up in the homes of the men, being cared for by their wives, like extensions of their own families. By 1922 the school had grown and the children were over running the homes of the elderly Dynatos founders. They moved the school to a large southern plantation, they built more places for the children to stay and remained there until they had already bought five more lots of land for building purposes and they had thoroughly outgrown the facility. Part of the problem lay in that many of the adult mutants had opted to stay close to the school for the safety, another problem was that discovery and danger was always imminent.
In 1977 the school and all the mutants who could help bought the one hundred square mile lot of land that Xenos now rests on. Over the years the plantation school suffered as every spare cent was put to building Xenos and Dynatos and taking every precaution to keep it safe. Finally in 1984 the city was opened and not two months later the plantation was destroyed and all of the children were moved to the new Dynatos.
Since then Dynatos and Xenos have prospered. They are constantly updating to stay as convenient and comfortable as possible. Many would find Dynatos to be the school of spoiled children, however this is not the case as many of the students come from troubled homes.
>>>>>>>>>>Today<<<<<<<<<<
Today Dynatos is run by its Board of Directors and the Headmistress, Cynthia Exypen, along with the rest of the staff. Headmistress Exypen’s gift was the ability to find mutants. She could tell when a gift flared up or became active and if a person had the dominant mutant gene that had not shown itself, which it usually does around puberty although sometimes later. Once Cynthia was out of school she was hired to find all the mutants and invite them to Dynatos. She then became the Mind Exercises teacher and later Headmistress. She is still the one who finds the mutants but due to pressure from the Board she let’s the secretary send out the school invitations.
The Xenos Gate, Barrier, and Fence are all run and observed by Maxwell Jonte. He is a large man who controls an extensive surveillance system and can also tell if a person is lying or telling the truth.
The businesses in Xenos are mostly run by mutants although the few humans who live there are given jobs if they so please. The town flourishes and has a high tourist clientele, but specifically caters to the students of Dynatos with its active Entertainment District.
>>>>>>>>>> Rumors of Danger <<<<<<<<<<
There are tales that circulate throughout Xenos that danger is on it’s way, sometimes in the way of government invasion, Mutant-haters’ hostility, or even of attacks from jealous pro-Mutant groups such as the Hentaine, or the Shikes. But they’re all just rumors.
Right?
