Xin's Dystopia

In 2019 a variety of ever-growing mutation viruses sprouted from various different diseases. Humanity shuffled around, attempting to cure them in any way shape or form. To no avail.. A group of scientists, obsessed with DNA experiments and animals, had finally figured a way to create their own race. The splices, and the Merges. They took Animal DNA and spliced or merged it into a human, creating them. Merges could have the abilities of the creature, but look human. Splices were imperfect versions, who had features of the creatures. So the scientists tossed both races on islands due to humanity hating them.
