A [[Breakfast Club]], expect one to be [[Promotion to Parent|(self)-promoted to the role of parent]]. Commonly the '''Secret Project Refugee Family''' will become [[Phlebotinum Rebel]]s as they either try to elude or take revenge on their creators... and [[Psycho Prototype|elder siblings]]. Or hey, they're just one [[Evil Overlord]] recruitment away from becoming a [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]. Not to be confused with [[Guinea Pig Family]]. |

Alternatively, in more mundane settings without [[Mutants]] and [[Mad Scientist|mad scientists]], the "family" will instead be made up of the [[Crazy Homeless People|homeless]], the [[Disposable Vagrant|destitute]], [[I Just Want to Have Friends|the lonely]], [[Parental Abandonment|the abandoned]] and [[The Mad Hatter|the crazy]]. Essentially, everyone who gets [[Acceptable Hard Luck Targets|left behind]] by society, regardless if it is [[Society Is to Blame|the fault of society itself]], or their own. As in the "secret project" variety, the group of strangers or acquaintances will be [[Breakfast Club|brought together by the collective suckiness of their lives]], and the advantages of pooling resources to ensure their survival. But unlike the "secret project" variety, members of the group will likely address their personal problems, while trying to [[Somebody Else's Problem|ignore everyone else's]]. |

* A typical throng of [[Promethean: The Created]] characters—not exactly lab projects most of the time, but often abandoned by their creators, spurned by humanity, and seeking someone for tea and sympathy. |

* This is also how a motley or Freehold of [[Changeling: The Lost|Changelings]] can tend to look in ''Changeling: the Lost''. They can afford to be a little pickier than the poor Prometheans, but honestly, when you've been kidnapped by beautiful and terrible Eldritch Abominations, tortured into a more pleasing (and utterly ''not'' human) form to suit their whims, survived this process, escaped back to Earth, and then found at ''best'' some ''Thing'' with your face in your place, and at worse found that Time has screwed you over quite severely in the bargain... well, as the book says, Changeling society tends to be pretty dang forgiving of its members' little.. ''quirks''. Oh, and of course, we have the Summer, and to a lesser extent, Autumn Courts.... |
