With the world’s best and brightest scientists together at the bottom of the sea with no constraints, it was only a matter of time until the population made a number of breakthroughs. The defining breakthrough was ADAM.
Generated by a deep sea parasite when it attached to a host, the parasite produced new stem cells healing the host. The new stem cells allowed the host to take on external genetic modifications that take over their normal cell structure. These genetic modifications ranged from medical cures to pure vanity changes. However, they eventually became more radical in nature.
The instant genetic modifications of Rapture come in two flavours: Plasmids and Gene Tonics.
