* ''Project Nightbreed'': An ultra-secret, code-word access only program within Project Fast Forward dedicated to locating and/or creating, and the active deployment (within various government and military groups) of specialized enhanced humans or metahumans specifically designed for small-unit combat operations. ‘Project Nightbreed’ was begun in 1918 (and brought under the aegis of ‘Project Fast Forward’ in the late 1970’s) after special interests in the post WWI U.S. military decided to pursue the concept of extraordinary abilities in soldiers as a force-multiplier.
To date, Project Nightbreed has located four individuals with the abilities considered suitable for them to be ‘adapted’ so that their abilities could be duplicated in others; the project has specifically identified metahumans with vampiric- or pseudo-vampiric abilities as the most suitable for enhanced small-unit tactics. The transformation is performed with the use of a mutagenic known as the 'Nightbreed solution'. Roughly 3% of those exposed to the Nightbreed solution have an immediate allergic reaction which results in massive seizures, extremely high body temperatures, coma and death within 24 hours. (Persons of Asian descent, primarily females, are the most susceptible to an allergic reaction from a high-level exposure.) The victim can be saved if the solution is removed from their body by [[Delmitrium-157]], a special solution which, in liquid form, is known simply as 'flush' and has several significant qualities.
Nightbreed are divided into five classes:
