Gen-Wyld: Beyond Natural
On March 14, 2018, a little-known company named Gen-Wyld announced FDA approval for a groundbreaking procedure to enhance a patient’s primary and secondary sexual characteristics using gene therapy. The company was an overnight success.
Shortly thereafter, they introduced a suite of gene-altering body modification procedures that allowed patients to make dramatic aesthetic changes to their bodies by gene-splicing “non-human” anatomy. Those daring (and wealthy) enough can now add cuttlefish pigmentation to their skin, sport a pair of fox ears, and even add a functional tail. While rare, these so-called “modders” draw plenty of hate from conservative communities.
Thanks to their revolutionary procedures, Gen-Wyld is now a household name. Norman Carlson, Gen-Wyld’s chief evangelist, recently announced the company is in the trial phase for a groundbreaking treatment for diabetes.
Yet despite their success, a shroud of secrecy surrounds Gen-Wyld. Their no-patent policy obscures the secrets of their procedures from the public eye. Financial experts claim that Gen-Wyld is run less like a traditional business and more like an NGO with some specific, unknown objective.
Some claim that they will not stop until humanity has been reduced to monstrous slaves and that Gen-Wyld’s board of directors will install themselves as inhuman overlords of the new world order.
However, until the true secrets behind Gen-Wyld are discovered, the genetic biotech firm will continue to grow, develop, and progress its grand designs.

Plot Armor
Like every beloved Heroine in her books, she manages to elude an early end
Whenever Dawn is about to take a heavy blow some unseen force seemingly bends reality around to her favor. Those watching carefully can see beautiful cursive script written in the air describing the event as spectral raven feathers softly fall around her. For example, the script might read out as "The tiny girl narrowly dodged the monsters claws." or "The assassin's shot missed its mark as the brave girl pushed forward."
The gift acts in a similar way to how all young adult novel protagonists seemingly survive or come out unharmed in super dangerous situations. To a certain extent, Dawn is invoking those same laws and rules found in fiction and applying it to herself. This could be considered her bending the very fabric of reality or an amplification of her own luck but regardless the end result is the same and she herself doesn't really care.
The handwriting of the script appears to be her own, as if she herself is subconsciously writing out what she wants to happen. The raven feathers that seemingly appear from no where is most likely another subconscious embellishment that Dawn would perceive as cool and edgy when in reality she's never come into contact with ravens in any meaningful way.

Shield of Aegis
When wit is sharper than steel, no blow strikes true.
When activated, the Bloomguard Sigil shimmers visibly, its petals unfolding with a soft metallic hum. Pale, translucent vines of golden energy sprout from the artifact, wrapping around the chosen target in a protective spiral. The barrier appears as a faint, ethereal dome, barely visible unless it catches the light — like a soap bubble made of starlight. To any bystander, it is immediately clear that something supernatural is at play, and that the source of the protection is the brooch itself, now brightly glowing.
Forged from ancient rites long buried beneath the ruins of forgotten temples, the Bloomguard Sigil is a relic of divine craftsmanship, a marriage of mortal ingenuity and celestial will. It channels the unyielding defense of the legendary Aegis, but tempers it with the gentleness of new life — a balance between war and wisdom. Only those who understand the sacred bond between protection and sacrifice can awaken its true potential. When called upon, it weaves a barrier not from steel or stone, but from pure intent: a living testament to the wearer's will to defend what matters most.

---Focus.
As the needle flies.
Autumn swiftly twists and flicks her wrist, sending twenty needles flying out of her wrist bracelet, masterfully catching them she proceeds to effortlessly twirl them between her thin elegant fingers while her lively eyes scan the immediate surroundings for any incoming blows, as soon as a strike is made she sends a needle flying towards it, hitting it at just the right angle to change the blow's trajectory allowing her to gracefully flutter out of the way.
