❧ RACES

Due to the drastic changes in climate, human genes have started to mutate. Mutants are usually stronger, faster, smarter, and overall far more adept at surviving than the average human. It is far more common to be born a mutant than it is to actually develop into one, though the latter is still possible. All mutants have one heightened physical attribute, such as super strength, super speed, etc. Mutants can look as human or as mutated as you like.

Chimeras are humans who have undergone an illegal surgery known as anima splicing. Anima splicing involves the implanting of animal parts into a human being, and then injecting animal genes that have been tampered with in a lab until they took on properties of a virus. Originally, anima splicing was a way to help people – especially mutants – who were blind, deaf, or mute, as they were given the eyes, ears, and vocal chords of other animals. Unfortunately, people who undergo the surgery tend to lose their sanity and become more animal-like. There are four types of genes that are commonly available: rodent (order rodentia), lagomorph (order lagomorpha), feline (genus felis), canine (genus canis), and reptile (class reptilia). They are usually seen as being lesser than humans. A chimera can look as animal-like or as human-like as you want, and can be as sane as you want them to be.

Please PM Pasc for permission if you would like your character to have parts of an animal that is not stated above.

Dolls are automatons. They run a very strong artificial intelligence program that allows them some emotional capacity and a free will of their own, but otherwise they lack in the emotions department. They were made to serve humans, but some dolls are capable of being self-sufficient. Dolls do have surnames, usually the surname of their creator, current owner, or previous owner. Dolls can look as human or as non-human as you like, and they can also be made to look like other races such as chimeras and even as animals. Dolls cannot taste or smell, though they can detect things such as smoke and carbon monoxide. They do not need to eat, but some models can be built to eat in order to appear more human. The main thing a doll needs to do is rest for several hours each day.
