With Angel Core taking place within the universe of a fantasy world, there comes a vital change to the traditional Cyberpunk Red character creation in the form of the Cultural Origins. This article sets to assist players with all racial options alongside their coorisponding languages alongside some brief information about the race within the world.

Cultural Origins Chart

Following the Lifepath system withint he Cyberpunk Red Core Rulebook, located on page 45, you'll see the Cultural Origins chart which will be discontinued using Angel Core as a setting. The chart is listed in order of most common to least common races to be seen in the city of Angelica, but this shouldn't hinder the party on choice.

Languages

Once you've chosen your race, there's another change in the rules relating to your language options. Alongside the required 2 points into Streetslang and the additional 4 free points into your primary language of choice, with Angel Core you're also required to have a secondary language with an additional 2 points within that language.
As a Fixer, your ability allows you to expand beyond the language options available to you.

Racial Descriptions

Humans
Humans are the most common due to their adaptability and make up a good portion of Angelica City's population. 

Elves

Another foundation race within Humanity, Elves were the original deviants that broke Humanity apart from the vision of perfect unity 

Dwarves

Throughout history, Dwarves have made an impact in their technologies which exploded in popularity amongst other nations during the second and third corporate wars. Today they're

Orcs

Orcs 

Beastfolk

In 1339, in the district now known as New Haven, there was the Northwestern Industrial District which was under an invasion coordinated by Elysium forces which would ultimately be the location of one of the deadliest battles during the third corporate war. In this, the Watson Nuclear Powerplant would find itself malfunctioning due to the firefight near and would lead to the fifth largest explosion in Terra's history.

Throughout the period leading into 1347, many of the people would die to the radiation sickness while other's morphed into full on Beast. Many were unintelligent, had bipedal motions and were kept as test subjects for the most part. It wasn't until 1383 when an uprising would begin within the Aurora District causing the district to shutdown and forcing government officials to act upon it leading to the Beastiary Docturine of 1383 which would eliminate the forceful testings of all radiation victims. While many left for the Flatlands, some remained fighting for further freedoms beginning the Freedom Fighter's Gang and bringing on many public figures who would fight for their newly formed kind. 
Today Beastfolk are common, free and have full integration amongst other races in Angelica City and even across the Flats. Through, Beastfolk are still mistreated beyond the dystopian comforts of Angelica City. 

Tieflings

Robots/Androids

Throughout the course of the Modern Timeline, Humanity has advanced toward the concept of robotics which were shown off extentsively during the Third Corporate War from forces like Maxmon Industries and EDEN. Robots specifically are tailored to fit a specific job, although they can be programmed to mimic emotions, it's not the focus in their design. You'll often see them having 0 form of free will and are at times just doing what they were programmed to do whether it be a diner assistant, a corporate worker or reprogrammed loader bot now serving as the backbone of a mercenary fireteam. 

Androids on the other hand are a recent addition to the world with the idea exploding upon the opening of multi-million credit corporation DreamLike. Afterwards, the purchasing of these beings titled DOLLS became a mainstream item as they introduced products like cleaners, maids, sex workers, butlers and more. Now, in recent times, primarily beginning in 1420, DreamLike would begin getting negative reviews as it showed that some products began to express creepy and unsettling phases. There would be a recall afterwards, but it seems as though we may be entering a new revolution as more and more A.I. programs begin to deviate from their built code. 

Goblins

Goblins are the scum of Angelica City and are often seen as good as the Beastfolk Rats that roam the sewers. Though, Goblins are a foundation within the industrial workforce. They aren't the most popular and are often the one's who get picked on the most within the city, but with the way Angelica is in the 20's, Goblins are a lot more feared as an increase in Goblins turning to crime rather than honest work has grown with record numbers. Goblins within Normandy working for mob affiliations while Midtown and Megaville districts have seen an increase in Goblin Crimes. Although hated overall, there's bigger issues and Goblins alone are one of the few races leading a large majority of Angelica City's workforce. 
Goblins can be found all across the world, as their working nature stands above any other groups across Terra. 

Pixies

In 1353, during the Third Corporate War Elysium began to play with a foreign source of power within their research laboratories as a way to rival the works of Maxmon Industries and their Netric centered energy source. In this, they would find that the energy blended well with both organic and nonorganic matter to it's genetic codes altering and eventually blending the two sparking a new reseach study. This would ultimately reveal the Pixies, smaller elvish-like beings with digital or even physical wings born with them. A perfect blending of technological and biorganisms which furthered reseach until being destroyed during the end of the war with the Elysium Bombings coordinated by Maxmon Industries. 
It took sometime, but much like the Beastfolk of Angelica City, many Pixie refugees would attempt escape crossing The Great Sea and reaching Angelica uniting with the Beastfolk in their own revolution being apart of the accepted races listed with the Beastiary Docturine of 1383

Reptilians

Cousins of the Lu'anian Yuan-Ti, Reptilians is a broadterm relating to Crocs, Lizardfolk, Draconics and Amphibians. They are not serpent-like beings! Reptilians come from the North, and have been seen living primarily within the Flatlands, but many Reptilians, due to their larger nature are popular candidates for security forces and sports! 

Yuan-Ti

The native folk of Lu'an and controlling their own district under the Han Family within the Akita District. Yuan-Ti are rare, and commonly seen as annoyances or enemies since the growing conflicts between Lu'an and Angelica City. There are two kinds of Yuan-Ti, Full-Bloods and Half-Bloods. Full-Bloods being true serpernt like beings, with tails and snake like facial anatomies. Half-Bloods on the other hand are Yuan-Ti which share a more bipedal nature with humanoid legs and less seperent like features. 

Gnomes

By far the rarest race amongst all in the world of Terra. Gnomes do not have a homeland, culture or significance as a group, but in times of the Old World and even in history across the Modern Era of Terra, Gnomes have played a significant role in nearly ever avenue. It's been said the world was built by the Angels and Gnomes. These individuals are indeed one of the least known races within our world, but when in the presence of one you are sure to find yourself in a fun and historical event.
