Atomic Dawn: Mutant Packages

Mutants in Mutant Future have a chance to be pretty awesome, but have an equal chance to end up beings a crippled mess poorly suited to what the player wanted. Sure, Mutant Future is all about a goofy/grim post apocalypse, but I think the Rule of Cool should win out over grim reality.
So below is an alternative selection of mutation lists for use with Mutant Animal and Mutant Human characters. Mutant characters still gain the normal number of hit points, number of mutations and special abilities inherent with their mutant type (see page 13 and 14 in Mutant Future for details). But instead of the standard big list of random mutation on pages 21 and 22, players may choose a mutant package from below.

Hope you like them.

Aerial Mutant (Flyers, Sprites)
Mutants who fly or are otherwise linked with the sky are well-represented. From Mutant Animals (bats, birds, insects, etc) to Mutant Humans that are built for the sky. In the Atomic Dawn setting, these mutants are amongst the most envied, and often live a nomadic existence.

Aquatic Mutant (Frogs, Fishies)
Aquatic mutants are at least partially linked with water. From Mutant Animals from aquatic to semi-aquatic species (otters, frogs, fish) or Mutant Humans that are more at home in or near the water than on land. Aquatic Mutants are never comfortable far from the water and usually live in small communities or on ships of one kind or another.

Big, tough and coming to get ya! Brickhouse mutants can be Mutant Animals or powerful beasts (bears, rhinos etc) or Mutant Humans built big and powerful. Brickhouse mutants are highly sought after as enforcers, soldiers and general leg-breakers, but many are surprisingly gentle persons, when they can afford to be anyway.
