Genetic Mistreatment Agency

The Genetic Mistreatment Agency was a failed splinter group of the Genetic Victims Society created in Chicago in 2008 that tried to offer aid to cybrids , alts and neos , but when they refused to help normal humans in the deprived area of Chicago where the GMA was based, heavy protesting and riots began.

During this time Fantom , already on the lead of the Harbingers in the city after several old friends were killed by them, got involved in trying to calm the violence.

### History

The GMA was founded by Hue and Varana in 2006 as a small collection of genetically enhanced, including Rancid, Mendax, Ros, Stray and Fledge among others, however it was likely the suggestion by Rancid to not include normal humans in their efforts to help the community; During the fallout of the GVS, many members were looking for support and a home in Boston but when Rancid claimed to have found a place in a disused warehouse his hometown of Chicago, Hue and Varana approved and he help gathered a number of old GVS unfortunately the Agency became more and more prejudice to normal humans over the months and without the actual support and savvy of Mole, the group deteriorated into internal fights.

### Goal

The purpose of the GMA was very similar to that of the GVS on paper, to support and home "victims of genetic abuse" however Rancid and Mendax used it more like an elitist club, a concept that he had in the back of his head for a while, stealing money, food and secretly paying off a local gang for the property, a gang that had links to the Harbingers via their Pestilence sect.

### End

In the end Rancid grew annoyed at Ros for claiming she was a genetic victim when she displayed no apparent abilities or signs of genetic manipulation, this angered her boyfriend Mendax, who had been using his powers to illegally get the Agency more money and funding.

Furious, Hue and Varana eventually found out and kicked Mendax and Rancid out, but Rancid warned that the gang would be the only ones to protect them against the riots that were brewing that day; during this time Rancid found and instigated members of Redemption, pretending that the GMA had discovered their secret chapel in the city, and the extremist group targeted Varana, killing her as a warning to get out of the city; this however sparked the riot Rancid was after.

However supporters for various sides began a riot near the GMA building as the sun set that day, the police became quickly overwhelmed and during the violence Fantom appeared, already hunting for the whereabouts of the Harbingers in the city, while some members handed themselves over to the FBI, Rancid managed to run, and was later picked up by the Pestilence sect of the Harbingers as their sect Archeon, who informed them that Fantom was looking for the main gang.

### Known members

The group had several members, some new, some from the GVS.

* **Boxer:** A supposed victim of Dr Choi's genetic experiments in California, while he was experimented on, showed no real physical capabilities or alterations, claiming that his heightened aggression and abnormally low tolerance to pain was the only real result of the test. He was dealt with by the Chicago police.
* **Fledge**: An ex GVS member who Stray was partnered with, she was an cybrid with pigeon DNA that gave her feathered wings on her arms but had little confidence in flying.
* **Hue**: An alt who was one of Dr Choi's more 'successful' experiments, she was proof that Choi did possess the capability and knowledge to create low-powered alts.
* **Hyrax**: A cybrid and ex GVS member, she was a good friend of Fledge.
* **Mendax**: A British alt who was originally sought by Wildstar when she was investigating Moore Industria for genetically altering animals, he may have been their one and only (successful) human test subject.
* **Rancid**: A neo who was known to have particularly anti-human ideals, believing that neohumans were even superior to alts and cybrids. He was something of a sycophant to Hue and Varana so that he could twist the Agency to his elitist club in secret.
* **Ros**: Ros was a strange and contrivertial member to the team, and likely was only accepted to the agency as she was Mendax's girlfriend at the time; no one knows of her past. She claimed to have had her memory wiped and given some form of empathy with animals and nature, allowing her to "hear" nature speaking to her; however no real proof of her power was ever demonstrated to any of the GMA, Rancid suspected her to be a wannabe and simply a social outcast who wanted to fit in with 'freaks'.
* **Stray**: A neohuman lycomorph who claimed to have had genetic samples taken from him by a mysterious, well-resourced organisation that may or may-not have been Black Labs, though he believes it was a government branch, he was hunted by the organisation for months before encountering the Varana and the GVS.

* **Tigerdog**: Also known as TD, a South-African cybrid with Aardwolf genes. He was killed by the police on the day of the Chicago Riots.
* **Varana**:A cybrid with monitor-lizard genes, she was a founding member of the Agency, but was killed by Redemption, sparking a riot.
