The First Biomods
Seventeen people were affected by the first batch of Guacamole, making them the first people to be biologically modified in Fenspace. Sixteen of them were quickly placed into quarantine by the US Government for months,[1] which explains part of the animosity between Fenspace and the Danelaw. All of the Seventeen have left Earth, although some still commute there to work.
Known members of the First Seventeen are:
- Shuko, the first catgirl.
- Natalie Baker, recipient of the Most Common Super Power.
- William Hopper (one of the hotel security personnel at That Con), who became a professional wrestler because of his Hulk-like biomod.
