2034:
2034 was the year everything changed.
Humanity woke to the greatest surprise they never expected. In orbit around the planet were hundreds of alien space craft. The various space
agencies had looked straight through the craft, despite each being several hundred km wide. Within minutes of their detection, the aliens on
board had taken over every communication frequency band available. Where possible, video was projected onto every TV, smartphone,
computer and billboard.
The aliens envoy, clearly a female of particular beauty, delivered a stark message to the world, her alien dialect being translated real-time by a
universal translation tool. Her voice was sultry.
"Our species is dying. Our scientists have devised a solution, but to deploy it without testing could prove fatal to us. Your species has been
selected from the many across the universe due to our genetic similarities. The experiment will begin shortly, do not worry."
Clearly recorded in advance, the message repeated itself multiple time as panic broke out in the streets. Politicians pondered a pre-emptive
strike, but without knowing what was going to happen, accepted responding could be equally suicidal.
Then it happened - high powered beams blasted from the sky to earth from each of the ships, striking at various strategic points around the
globe. Once established, gigantic pulses emanated down the beams. Upon reaching the earth, the pulses spread out like waves across the
planet, sweeping across the continents.
Once the waves had passed, part of the aliens plan was clear. The only members of the human race left alive were female. All that remained of
the other sex was dust, as if their bodies had been vaporised. Young children were confused as to why some of their friends had disappeared in
front of them and a number of pregnant women were at a loss to explain the sudden change in their situation.
Remaining members of state from the varying countries were quick to contact each other, some governments in more disarray than others as a
result of their gender policies and decisions.
Then all the TV screens lit up again, the same woman appearing.
"Thank you for participating in Phase One of our experiment. The males of your species have been disposed of. This is to create a control
situation similar to our own.
Our males were eradicated by a virus - we understand the concern that we undertook such a radical simulation of the event on your species.
Our scientists have devised a solution for a species to reproduce within the remaining population. As previously disclosed, since this involves a
genetic restructuring at the cellular level, your species has been chosen to test the results of our experiments.
Do not be alarmed at the results. We understand you may feel this unfair, but we consider the survival of our race a higher cause. We will not
contact you again until the experiment has finished, although our ships will remain in orbit. Your continued participation is gratefully
appreciated."
As the broadcast ended, the beams started up again, striking the same positions on the planet. The waves once again spread across the planets
population, rendering everyone unconscious.
2037:
Humanity accepted the change as best it could. The aliens brutal application of their technology in the name of 'science' threatened to rip
humanity to pieces. Every member of the female species was affected, although in differing ways.
The surviving elite (comprising the politicians, the think tanks and the celebrated) and their scientist cabals divided humanity into groupings,
branded as 'Types', consistent with the effects of the alien technology, dubbed 'the Xenowaves'. Society, as it does, quickly reoriented itself
around these groups, although less bound by gender it became a less formal, more open society. On the surface, anyway.
---- TYPES -----
Type 0:
Human Females who, to sciences best guess, had no signs of change as a result of the wave. These 'pure' females were prized amongst the
populace, often hidden from the masses, so revered was their condition. Breeding experiments were quickly undertaken on the Type 0's to
ascertain if their offspring would also be Type 0 (or, more to the point, Male).
The few public facing Type 0's were almost certainly celebrities or high-ranking members of the population. Some Type 0's exist on the
outskirts of common knowledge, hidden from the powers that desire them for propaganda and/or tests. Officially, less than 2% of the human
population are Type 0.
Type 1:
The most common form of 'female' following the wave, affecting almost 40% of the world. The after-effects of the wave were disturbing for the
women affected in this way. Their very female self disturbed at the genetic level, many woke after the wave passed in dire pain as the change
took effect.
For the majority, this was either a masculine penis growing from above their female sexual organs or a suspected mutation of the clitoris into
said organ. Many females have described this manifestation as worse than giving birth, such was the quick and brutal occurrence of the change
in a place the body simply wasn't prepared for.
Type 1's have sub groups:
Type 1a - The former result, where the penis sprouts from above the woman's vagina, as if it was a normal male's penis. Testicles may or
may not be present. If they are, the woman is capable of impregnating other women. If any role was likely to take up the 'male' role in society,
everyone expected it to be the Type 2's. In the end, it turned out to be the Type 1's, specifically the 1a's.
Type 1b - The clitoris forms the penis. It is more feminine - a result of its origin - lacking a defined head. Once again, testicles may be
present and will often be growing out of, or located visibly inside the woman's labia, separated by the vagina.
Type 1c - More rare, the woman 'births' the penis from her vagina. The penis may curl upwards and behave like a normal penis or hang
down, even when erect. The vagina is still present and functional, but awkward to access. Testicles are even rarer, and if present will fall from
the vagina along with the penis, often blocking the passage.
Type 1d - This woman has no penis growth present, but does have 1, 2 or more testicles present. These may grow in similar places as
Type 1a,b or c. Whilst unable to directly penetrate another woman, she is fertile and her sperm can be used to inseminate other women. When
experiencing an orgasm, she will ejaculate, often with some force due to the shorter travel of the semen. Some 1d's have even been known to
practice targeting as a side-show act.
Type 2:
Type 2's are relatively common, although nowhere near as common as Type 1's. In this case, the woman's primary sexual characteristics are
entirely or fundamentally male. Some regressive female characteristics may remain, but the woman cannot bear children.
These types are not openly prejudiced against, but are also not seen on the same social standing as Type 1's or 0's. Muscle mass is generally
increased as a result of the increased testosterone in their bodies with no countering hormones. Many take up jobs in manual jobs, as sex
workers or in various fetish communities.
The majority of Type 2's resent Type 1's on at least one level, specifically when the Type 1's talk about the pain in their transformation. For
Type 2's, it has been tastefully documented to have felt like something was tearing the woman's womb out with a coat hanger then leaving
them with the penis as a cruel joke.
Once again, these are identified in sub groups:
Type 2a - the woman's genitals are fully male. She is capable of impregnating Type 1's. They tend to be the most 'dominant' of the Type
2's, be that by social standing or temperament. Many 2a's become sports stars as a result of their physique.
Type 2b - A penis is present, but no testicles have been identified. The woman does not ejaculate at all and doesn't climax easily
meaning, assuming exhaustion doesn't take over, she can continue to engage in sexual acts for prolonged periods. Women of this type
engaged in sex work are derogatorily referred to as 'fuck dolls', something most of them do not dispute.
Because even 'normal' Type 2b's seen their penis as nothing but a tool, many have taken to modifying their penis - a sub culture is known of
and celebrated in circles for creative piercing, tatooing, bisection/trisection or even partial/full castration.
Type 2c - No penis is present, but fully working testicles are. The woman has no function with which to ejaculate, nor experience sexual
release. Her testicles are as sensitive as any other type, which lends to quite interesting foreplay, but nothing more. 2c's are often socially
withdrawn as a result.
Like 2b's, 2c's often look down on their 'limited' predicament and abuse/modify their genitals for artistic or sexual reasons.
Type N:
Type N's are extremely rare, but also extremely unfortunate. Stripped of all genitalia by the wave, they live a distant existence from the new
society that has grown around the results of the experiment.
Even more withdrawn than the 2c's, they often dedicate themselves to study in private to avoid interacting society. A classroom insult has
arisen calling girls 'N-ers' if they are academically capable or otherwise socially withdrawn. Even worse is the cocktail of hormonal drugs the
woman must take to balance her hormones, lacking as she is in all of the sex hormones.
Women have been beaten up and/or killed in incidents where they have been correctly outed as Type N's in public areas, such as night clubs, a
fact that has resulted in Type N's being banned from some social gatherings.
Type M:
A reclassification of an existing type, whether initially after the wave or over the course of the woman's life. The M stands for mutation - be it
to do with genitalia or other characteristics. Known mutations include: Additional Penises, Vaginas or Testicles, additional breasts, additional
limbs, additional eyes, ears, fingers, toes, non-human growths (tails, gills, different species genitalia etc.).
People officially classed as *mutated* are registered, although it carries no social connotations other than monitoring changes to the species
predicament (unless the mutation is visibly embarassing, resulting in prejudice).
So far, humanity has survived the experiment, although there is no end in sight. These are their stories...
----- RULES -----
No specific rules are defined, although it's probably a good idea to specify Type at the start of a thread for clarity.
Have fun!
