Human Species in Urban Arcana | World Anvil

Human

Despite humans being biologically compatible with one another and sharing 99.9% of their genetic data, there is a universe of possibilities in that final decimal point. Deviating no more than 5% of that chromosomal data begets apes and chimpanzees. So, it’s no shock that a microscopic variation in the genetic code can change someone from short to tall or make them prefer art over sports. No doubt, people are exhibiting certain physical or mental advantages that are superior over others. It’s a simple fact of life.   A fundamental part of being human is the use of science. And as technology continues to advance, what it is to be human becomes more unclear. The lines between humanity and machine have blurred as cybernetics have become common place. Genetic modification has allowed humans to manipulate their blue print and redefine who they are. Body modification is quickly becoming a new art form. Because of this, what it is to be human changes daily.   There are those humans who came through the Shadow Rifts. They have little difficulty blending in with the Mundane humans. It is just a matter of learning the culture and history of this new place.
