Hybrid




  • HEADER_HYBRID_sm.png



    Vitriolic versatility in a many-headed package.


    Created to serve on a level both more varied and intense than its peers, this caste is made up of manufactured professionals, raised and modified to do the best job they possibly can--whether they have any passion for it or not.

    As a caste, Hybrids are one of the most versatile, well-suited to a large variety of duties for which each member was uniquely designed and trained. It is the caste most likely to have its genetics meddled with, and as a result its members are some of the most colorful and varied. Hybrids are often proud and professional, but not everyone's heart lines up with their imposed destiny, and some of them are deeply depressed or distressed by histories--or present circumstances--of being forced to do what they were designed to do even if they have no love for it themselves.


    GENETIC BLEND: 3 GENOMES

    In addition to the chupakri base.

    STABILITY - 3 (DUBIOUS)

    Dubious stability is the natural side effect of forcing the genetics of multiple, completely different species of animal to cooperate and co-exist within the same specimen. This is the default stability of all Hybrids.

    LIKELY GENOMES

    Any land-dwelling animal is a potential genetic component in a Hybrid chupakri.

    ENCOUNTERED GENOMES

    These are animals that have already shown in a chupakri. (We strongly prefer that new chupakri applicants do not use animals that have already been used for their caste.)

  • CASTE STANDARDS


    REQUIRED QUALITIES

    Physical identifiers that indicate caste.
    ▴ Hybrids always present 3 different, distinct animals.
    ▴ Exclusively mammalian.

    POSSIBLE QUALITIES

    Physical identifiers that indicate caste but do not manifest in all members of the caste. Some of these may be shared with another caste.
    ▴ Mammalian, water-dwelling adaptations.
    ▴ Dwarfism, gigantism.
    ▴ No sexual organs, or other similar deformities.
    ▴ Never develop functional wings, if wings present, they are always deformed in some way.
    ▴ Hybrids may have bright, unnatural or unusual colors on their bodies so long as they do not encompass the majority of the color scheme.

  • SOCIAL & FUNCTION


    As one of the most diverse and colorful castes of chupakri, Hybrids, with their unique and diverse genetic blends, enjoy an extraordinarily broad range of talents, uses and skills, and are extremely good at picking up new ones all the time.

    They are both Jacks-of-all-trades and masters, although not usually simultaneously.

    Hybrid chupakri are excellent candidates for specialized training, and their 3 configurable genomes make them quite capable of being physically molded to match a very particular purpose in mind long before maturity.

    GENERAL BEHAVIOR

    Inquisitive, practical, good learners and good liars, Hybrids are excellent at absorbing the world around them and often just as good at giving nothing back. Survival for this caste is often a matter of wearing a mask to hide true feelings and play a part the body might have been made for, but the heart just isn't in.

    CHUPAKRI SOCIETY

    Summary of how Hybrids relate to each other and to other chupakri of other castes.
    ELITE: The golden children, the ones destiny favors. Somehow, they are better, but Hybrids cannot see why. They are one-trick ponies and eyecandy.
    BERSERKER: Brutes. Murderers. Torturers. Terror and nightmares.
    HYBRID: Brothers and sisters of tragedy, given purpose and desiring only to better understand themselves.
    STUNTED: Varied. Some are pitiful, some are useful. There but for the grace of God go I.


    FREEDOM

    Hybrid chupakri are likely to take up the following jobs and occupations on their own time.
    ▴ Assassin
    ▴ Mercenary
    ▴ Scholar
    ▴ Doctor
    ▴ Nurse
    ▴ Teacher
    ▴ Actor/actress
    ▴ Dancer
    ▴ Artist/musician

  • BODY & MIND


    HEALTH OVERVIEW

    COMMON DEFORMITIES

    ▴Deformed Wings
    ▴Polydactyly
    ▴Coloboma
    ▴Heterchromis
    ▴Nonfunctioning Eyes
    ▴Albinism
    ▴Piebaldism

    COMMON PSYCHOLOGICAL WOUNDS & ILLNESSES


    Mental Illness
    ▴ Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
    ▴ Narcissism

    ▴Heart Issues
    ▴Cancer
    ▴Arthritis
