Humans (Homo sapiens)

We all fear death, Woods. It is just a matter of when humanity's ticket gets **punched**.

## History

The creation of Humans follows the same linear progression as they do in the real world, evolving from primates and becoming independent individuals. However, their culture is radically different in the Donuts Universe as opposed to the real world, as superbeings are prevalent, most notably Human Mutates, Mutants, and Marutas who are all off-shoots or evolutions of Humans.

### Human Mutates

Main article: Human Mutates
Within the Donuts Universe, humans can be gifted superhuman abilities or "chosen." The process by which they can gain capabilities varies from situation to situation. However, it always boils down to science or the supernatural being the reason why they exist. These individuals are classified as "Human Mutates" as it was an external factor that granted them their more flamboyant and outlandish abilities.

Several of the most notable individuals with powers in the Donuts Universe are typically Human Mutates as they were ordinary people before, and then an accident happened. Their power activation mirrors that of Marutas and Mutants as they gain their abilities from freak accidents during emotional distress. However, there is no way to track this occurrence as it is randomized and frequent.

### Mutants

Mutants are individuals born with a specific gene known as the X-Gene that allows for activating their powers at a young age. Historically, their activation has been done through stress or great emotional turmoil. While the rate at which mutants occur can be tracked, what their powers are cannot be. However, several theorized that they gain powers by way of the environment they were in when they activated their mutant genes.

As stated previously, due to the existence of Mutants, Human Mutates, and Marutas, they are all subject to discrimination and prejudice. This has led to several things being created to hunt down each marginalized group or all of them as a unit. For Mutants, items such as the Legacy Virus and the Techno-Organic Virus were created by man to cull the expansion of Mutants.

### Marutas

Main article: Marutas
Like Mutants, Marutas are an off-shoot of humanity but with the caveat of being created by the Paradise Lost dimension. They were not naturally occurring but instead artificially made to be genetic by an incident known as Nacht der Untoten. Marutas have the M-Chromosome, which allows them to gain superhuman abilities. However, there is no age limit by which they can achieve their powers, and it can't be tracked either; it can only identified by examining a person's chromosomes.

While Marutas are a more recent evolution, they are subjected to prejudice as individuals have created countermeasures against Marutas. A unifying weakness is a variant of the Techno-Organic Virus from the Paradise Lost dimension that can be weaponized and stop their base ability, a regenerative healing factor. A genetic flaw within all Marutas is that their healing factor will begin to degrade and slow at some point in their prolonged chronological age.

## Powers and Abilities

### Abilities

Abilities varies from individual from individual, including intelligence, knowledge in the fields of science to create powered exoskeletons, physical training musculature and various abilities.

## Habitat

### Atmosphere

75% nitrogen, 24% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide, remaining percentage other gases

## Miscellaneous

### Type of Government

Multiple: There is currently no world-wide system of government. Each country governs itself in a manner usually unique to that country, although democracies, republics, monarchies, communist states, and dictatorships are most common.
