Chromes, Chrome Wards, etc.

Chromes are criminals. Once convicted and sentenced they are sent to a Chrome Ward where they're injected with the virus that will genetically modify their skin colour. Once the virus has been injected they are put to sleep while it works through their body and changes the skin cells. When they wake up their skin is the colour that matches the category of their crime and they are in the Chrome Ward, in a separate room where all the walls are mirrors and everything they do is being watched.

How long a Chrome will spend in a Chrome Ward is part of their sentence. The time is at the least two weeks and the most a few months. At least two weeks are needed to make sure that their are no side effects from the chroming virus and that the Chrome is healthy. The time in the Chrome Ward is also recorded and streamed onto Vid (TV). Anyone can watch Chromes while they are in the Chrome Wards.

The colour a Chrome's skin is shows what category their crimes fits into to. These categories are explained in a separate thread. The fact that different crimes have different colours can be a good and a bad thing for a Chrome. For example, Yellows aren't treated as badly as other Chromes but Blues are treated the worst and have almost no chance of survival.

While someone is a Chrome, they cannot have children. This is to protect any possible children from being affect by the chroming virus. Once a Chrome has finished their sentence they can then have a child with no danger of the child being affected by the previous chroming. A lot of Ex-Chromes don't have children though unless they were yellows as by the time their sentence is over they're usually too old to have a child or too old to find a partner.

During the time when someone is a Chrome, they have to be injected with the virus every three months. If this doesn't happen they frag which is where they go crazy until eventually they either kill themselves or get killed. When a Chrome begins to frag they have about no chance of surviving, it happens quickly and within a couple of days not even a renewal of the virus will save them. Renewals happen at the same Chrome center they were originally given the virus at, because of this and for other reasons, Chromes cannot leave the state during their sentence.

If you have any questions are Chromes please PM them to me and I'll edit this to include the answer. Thank you.
