As the dream owners, we have heard your concerns about the segregation laws and how the lore change has met with some disdain. In order to meet a compromise that is more suited to a more community-friendly and lore-adaptive idea, we have discussed a more complex, comprehensive solution that will make more sense to incorporate in the dream.
Some new terms are as follows.
Safe Zones: Magical areas where non-humans have been able to create a sanctuary, which have existed in America since the 1600s after racial targeting of non-humans by Puritan religious extremist sects to prevent hate crimes by hiding the knowledge of the existence of non-humans races, as a result of the Salem Witch trials. Humans were not able to enter these safe zones, until Jean-Baptiste Lazare created "Bridge Technology", creating a way to travel between human-populated areas and safe zones, which allowed travel between both of these areas. Inhabitants of these safe zones have included furres, elves, and other races. After Safe Zones were exposed with "The Wave", integration between Safe Zones and Human Zones began to occur, and the communities began to interweave over type.
Type Classification: A system introduced after the wave to classify all sapient entities, used by the government to identify citizens.
Type 1: Human races that bear the most similarities to human DNA, and are not innately magical as a result of their DNA structure. These include: humans, dwarves, and halflings. All other known races fall under other type classifications. If you are wondering what classification your character's race falls in, ask a staff member to review it first.
Type 2: Humanoid races that are similar to humans, but in terms of ability and power, are similar to humans. Such races include elves, furres, homunculi, Furyans, gnomes, anthropomorphic bipedals, nekomata, etc. They are treated mostly equally the same as humans under current law, except for certain regulations.
1. Type 2 may not vote in public elections that concern Type 1 communities, or communities which integrate Type 1 and Type 2 communities. Type 2 votes are exclusively permitted in regards of Type 2 neighborhoods and outreach positions of Type 2 or below in the government.
2. Type 2 are not allowed to legally marry with Type 1s.
3. Type 2 entities are not allowed to legally adopt Type 1 children.
4. Type 2 may not run for any public office that directly govern Type 1or Type 1/2 integrated communities.
5. On all legal documentation such as Drivers Licenses, Job Applications, State IDs, and Tax Returns, Type 2s must identify as their respective typology, or risk being fined.
6. Any type 2 that is found to have abilities or possessions that allow themselves to be masked as Type 1 that refuses to register as a Type 2 will automatically be considered in violation of Schedule 1 magic laws, which is a felony punishable by a minimum prison sentence of 8 years, and will be placed in Type 3 containment facilities if this is violated.
Type 3: Any type of species that is considered a threat to Type 1/2 entities based on their physical or innate magical abilities. Examples of Type 3 species include vampires, werewolves, unicorns, Cambions, lesser demons, etc. If you are unsure if your race falls under Type 3 classifications, please ask a staff member. Type 3 are subject to Type 2 restrictions, as well as the disallowing of many public facilities. Type 3s are colloquially known as "beasts". While their existence is permitted in human societies, segregation for Type 3s are especially prevalent.
Type 4: These are considered highly dangerous, and the existence of this level of supernatural ability is NOT permitted to exist within human society. Type 4s are not permitted to travel within any human society for any reason, and any known Type 4 traveling within U.S. borders not within a quarantined safe zone will be immediately prosecuted, contained, deported, or eliminated based on the threat level they present. Type 4 species may include archdemons, elder vampires, giants, gorgons, sorcerers, Stymphalian Birds, dragons, etc.
Type 5: These are known Type 4s, placed on the FBI wanted list for their crimes against humanity. These may include murder, mass destruction, drug trafficking, or violation of magical codes. Known Type 5s include Lucifer, Dracula, Beelzebub, etc. There are VERY few known Type 5s. Type 5s are to be immediately reported on sight for SIMBA to approach and quarantine.
Hopefully, this should help clarify many of the decisions the staff have made in terms of the system of segregation that exist, and should be more community-friendly.
