Dauntless & Relentless
Samuel and Samantha Capote were raised in an internment camp, their gene-markers designating them as Alpha-class mutants. In their reality, mutants were less than animals, a slave-race to serve the more genetically “pure” Homo sapiens, the “saps,” as mutants called them in secret. Unfortunately, when the mutant birthrate exploded despite the birth control regulations and genetic-screening programs, the government began culling the internment camps. They planned to terminate mutants until their numbers were brought to more “reasonable” levels.
The twins joined the mutant resistance using the code-names Dauntless and Relentless and participated in the revolt that liberated the camps and turned the war on mutants around. They were winning, slowly, but surely, they were winning. Then the government released the Dever Virus, which targeted the mutant gene and unraveled the genetic code, resulting in a painful and slow death.
The mutant population was decimated, but then, so were the humans. The world was on the cusp of an evolutionary shift, and many humans carried recessive mutant genes that escaped the crude screening process, but not the virus. Their world was dying, and the blame fell on the “mutant terrorists” rather than the real culprits.
Samuel and Samantha avoided infection, but with so many falling to the virus and the extermination squads, they knew it would only be a matter of time before they made their last stand. Fortunately, that’s when Navagatrix appeared. Its entry flash drew the military’s attention, and it was only the timely intervention of Relentless and Dauntless that saved the construct from capture. In gratitude, Navigatrix provided them with safe passage from their dimension, thus beginning The AlterniTeens.
After a harrowing ride through different realities, Relentless and Dauntless finally feel free of their world’s horrible legacy. They’re putting their past behind them and adjusting to life in the wonderfully liberated (and aptly named) Freedom City. Dauntless is attracted to Seven, and even though he knows she isn’t interested in him, he thinks persistence will eventually win her over. Relentless, however, is finding herself attracted to Neried, and she is wrestling with questions about her sexuality.
