Mutant
Home > Rulebook > Races > Mutant
Mutants are created through gene splicing, biochemistry and other forms of body-modification, being similar to that of a Cyborg, with the modification aspect being a heavily important part, Mutants are more of a biochemically engineered monstrosity, used to create incredibly hulking, strong, adaptable and obedient creatures that can easily destroy nations at the drop of a hat.
Characteristics
Mutants appear as an amalgamation of multiple other races, they can have the main appearance of one race e.g. human, but can have the ears of an elf, and the snout of a rat. Their proportions for their body is usually quite overexaggerated in their appearance. Mutants have a large amount of stretch mark, stitches, and sagging skin, as well as more of a “melted” appearance on their body, some locations can be jaundiced or appear to have other physical ailments like rashes due to their unstable conditions.
Mutants are relatively empathetic creatures despite their appearance and strength, many theorise this is due to the pain of being a Mutant causes stress and creates more of a considerate mind then others, while others assume it is due to constant discrimination that they attempt to be kind to others to be understood. It is to be noted that not all Mutants are kind, and for every kind Mutant, there is another Mutant who is hellbent on killing everything it sees.
Native Environments
Mutants exist in almost all conditions, but tend to prefer to stay away from large cities of multiple races due to the stigma against their kind. Mutants tend to enjoy more warmer climates then colder locations, however, more research is needed to determine why this is the case.
History
Mutants have a long history of being fighters and discriminated in society. Mutants in the past used to be naturally born, and relatively rare. They were unable to live for a long period of time, but due to the advancements of medicine, they have been able to live equally as long as others, and mutation is rapid, constant and regular to those that seek it out.
Society & Culture
Mutants live in mainly small groups, assisting one another where possible and defending their bretheren to the death. They tend to think of those closest to them before themselves, getting caught in unfortunate situations often due to this, and exposing themselves to more stigma, backlash and irrational hatred.
