    No rush, DD!

    By the by, I imagine that some alternate history is in place, so I'm going to ask this explicitly - is it okay if my characters have ties to a Foram-rights group that was inspired by the American Civil Rights Movement (especially, no joke with Tam intended, the Black Panthers)? Given your timeline, the movement would've been gaining momentum right around the time that the first Foram were discovered. I've got no intent to make this story about civil rights or anything (it's not even close to my place, and it should have no direct impact the RP or my characters); I'm just curious how references to real-world events, people, and movements slot into this RP.

    And if you're worried about this group making too big of a plot splash, no need (though I'd be happy to scale them up if you think there's interesting potential) - they're going to have already been pretty hamstrung before the RP's start, and they were never up in people's faces the way the Vigilantes or the Demon's Run are. Sociopolitical all the way.

    That sounds fine but I have no knowledge of US history. Do you have discord? If so, could you please add me and give me a quick rundown of the events you mentioned?
