Mistfolk

"'There's nothing... but misery and... PAIN... for us... in the outside, in the cities... we are safe, we breathe the fumes... we survive and... THRIVE... through the Mist.' - Mistfolk Elder"

The Mistfolk are a humanoid mutant race commonly found in large cities affected by an unknown biological pathogen that was dropped by unknown submarines across the East Coast.

Biology
Mistfolk, as their name implies, live in cities contaminated with the Mist. They are usually dressed under coats and hoodies, some Mistfolk wear looted hazmat suits and fill the air containers with the toxic air. Underneath their gear and masks, Mistfolk are relatively normal and look like humans with albinism, with pale bodies and brittle white hair, the most noticeable feature being their red eyes which gives them the ability to look in the dark.

The mutations have given the Mistfolk the ability to regenerate minor or moderate wounds rather quickly, they also have extremely long lifespans and enhanced hearing and strength. However, due to the prolonged years of exposure, if Mistfolk are exposed to normal air for long periods of time they will become weaker, their regenerative properties will cease to work properly. But they can in fact, live outside afflicted areas. Also, while they are able to speak, Mistfolk find it painful to do so, and will often talk using sign language.
