CYBORGS, Humans with multiple robotic parts, many don't consider them to be human at all because of their robotic limbs and organs. Cyborg parts are meant to help the person survive, not as a means of enhancing their strength, speed, etc. However, upgrades for cyborg parts that can enhance a part's abilities or turn parts into weapons can be sold on The Black Market. Mutants and chimeras cannot have robotic parts, as the system that is implanted in one's body that allows the parts to operate does not work properly with a non-human due to differences in brain waves. Please note that a human is only considered a cyborg when they have more than one robotic part. MUTANTS,

[/B]

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,

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,[/B]

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.

Some races can interbreed but others can't. When two races, such as a human and a mutant, have a child that child will be one or the other. For genetic purposes, cyborgs are considered humans and can produce offspring so long as they have their reproductive organs still intact. Dolls cannot have children although some models can have intimate relationships. HUMAN X CHIMERA:

[/B]

Will always have either a human or a chimera child. Prone to having more than one child in a pregnancy if the mother is a chimera. A chimera child born of a human parent will always be more human-like with slight animal features, and will be much more mentally-stable then a regular chimera.

HUMAN X MUTANT:[/B]

Will always have either a mutant or a human child. A mutant child is far more likely, and a mutant child will always have the same ability as their mutant parent. A mutant child develops their powers around puberty.

CHIMERA X CHIMERA:

A chimera can only reproduce with another chimera of the same type. For example, a feline chimera and a canine chimera cannot have a child, but two feline chimeras can have a child. A chimera mother is always prone to having more than one child during a pregnancy. Chimeras can have relationships with other types of chimeras, but again, they cannot have children with them.

MUTANT X CHIMERA:[/B]

Will either have a mutant, chimera, or human child. A mutant born of a mutant and chimera will have slight animal features and the ability of their mutant parent. A chimera child will be human-like with slight animal features and will be mentally stable. Producing a human child is very rare but still possible.
