The Mutation Protocol Series is set in an alternate 1970s, where war, pollution, and dwindling resources have pushed the world toward almost collapse. In a last-ditch effort to save humanity, global powers launched the Mutation Protocol, a series of genetic experiments meant to help humans, plants, and animals adapt to the planet’s deteriorating conditions. Instead, the experiments triggered widespread mutations and the Post-Protocol Collapse, reducing the global population from 3 billion to 2.5 billion and leaving many nations in disarray. While governments remain, they are weakened; wealthier nations maintain infrastructure, but poorer regions face food shortages and growing lawlessness. Some governments conceal their involvement in the Mutation Protocol, while black-market research continues. Mutants are singular experiments while Mutant Species were groups of the same species before mutation and have fully adapted to the new world without extinction. The effects of the Protocol still ripple through underground industries and struggling economies, forcing humanity to cling to what remains as the planet continues to deteriorate, caught between the ruins of the old world and the horrors they created. |

To contribute to the Mutation Protocol series, creators can submit original artwork, narrative writing, or world-building concepts that expand on the project's established universe. Submissions should be placed in the Mutation Protocol discord channel where they will be placed by the owner inside of this very website. Creators should clearly define how their additions fit into the Mutation Protocol timeline and setting, ensuring they align with all of its themes. Those interested in deeper collaboration can work together on larger projects such as interconnected stories in the Mutation Protocol world. |

Mutation Protocol is an analog horror collaboration project and series created on December 18th, 2024 it is set in an alternate 1980s focusing on a post-apocalyptic Earth. It's based on science fiction, body horror, and speculative evolution using things mainly like art and narrative writing. It explores themes of human desperation, evolution, and survival against a backdrop of global scientific experimentation gone wrong. The project wants world-building and collaboration to expand the lore of a shared dark universe.

Overview:
The Mutation Protocol Series is set in an alternate 1980s, where decades of war, industrial pollution, and dwindling resources have driven the world to the brink of collapse. In a desperate bid to save humanity, global powers initiated the Mutation Protocol, a series of advanced genetic experiments that harness controlled bursts of high-energy cosmic radiation (Darwin Radiation) combined with state-of-the-art gene-editing techniques (similar to CRISPR) to trigger adaptive mutations in humans, plants, and animals. The goal was to activate latent genetic pathways and epigenetic switches, ideally conferring enhanced DNA repair, radiation resistance, and metabolic efficiency to help organisms survive a rapidly deteriorating environment. Instead, the protocol destabilized genomic integrity, causing widespread mutations and precipitating the Post-Protocol Collapse, which reduced the global population from 3 billion to 2.5 billion and left many nations in disarray. While remnants of government authority persist, wealthier nations preserving remnants of high-tech infrastructure, the poorer regions are ravaged by food shortages and lawlessness. Covert operations and clandestine black-market research continue to refine or replicate these experiments, even as some governments conceal their involvement. In this new order, Mutants are isolated cases of accidental genetic alteration, whereas Mutant Species refer to entire populations that have fully adapted to the new environmental conditions. The lingering effects of the Mutation Protocol ripple through underground industries and struggling economies, forcing humanity to navigate a precarious existence between the remnants of the old world and the biological horrors unleashed by their own desperate experiments.

Rules to Collaborate:
To maintain consistency and quality within the Mutation Protocol universe, all contributions must align with its established lore, setting, and themes. Content should add science fiction, body horror, and speculative evolution while staying true to the project's post-apocalyptic 1980s setting. Collaborators are encouraged to expand the world with original material while avoiding major contradictions with existing narratives. A serious tone is required unless otherwise approved, as exaggerated or parodic elements may undermine the project's dark atmosphere. Additionally, respect for fellow creators is essential. Plagiarism, harassment, or unauthorized use of another’s work will not be tolerated and will be reported.
