| === Mindeyes === | === Mindeyes === |
| Progressing from Greaseheart, Mindeyes are further hardened against psionic attack and feature a body better able to deal with radiation and the rigours of space travel. Mindeyes are usually just adapted Greasehearts, via gene therapy. They tend to be much frailer than a Greasehart when it comes to physical activity, however. | Progressing from Greaseheart, [[culture/mindeyes|Mindeyes]] are further hardened against psionic attack and feature a body better able to deal with radiation and the rigours of space travel.

| Oddbody (More politely referred to as Modbodies) is a catch-all term for heavily modified humans via cybernetics, brain uploading, gene therapy, mutation, or other transmutation processes. Few Oddbodies share similar genomes and attributes unless cloned, and their overall mental and physical properties vary wildly. | [[culture/oddbody|Oddbody]] (More politely referred to as Modbodies) is a catch-all term for heavily modified humans via cybernetics, brain uploading, gene therapy, mutation, or other transmutation processes.

| Sometimes referred to as the 'former class', Greaseheart are the previous major 'version' of humanity. Hardened against cancer from synthetic plastics and oils, as well as many common diseases, Greaseheart are a hardy and bold people who live in harmony with heavy machinery and technology. They are known for being very skilled builders, engineers, pilots, and marksmen. | Sometimes referred to as the 'former class', [[culture/greasehearts|Greaseheart]] are the previous major 'version' of humanity.

| === Maidenhands === | === Maidenhands === |
| A self-created species, the Maidenhands are a combination of battlemaid and human qualities. They differ enormously from Greaseheart or Mindeye in that they do not have conventional genomes as we know them, and their entire protein structures are largely based in colonies of exotic nanomachines. They are often seen not entirely as people but as vessels for people, a product that is worn as a replacement body. They are most often specialised for general-purpose combat, but other occupations aren't unheard of. | A self-created species, the [[culture/maidenhands|Maidenhands]] are a combination of battlemaid and human qualities.

| === Hagblood === | === Hagblood === |
| Humans that happen to have a powerful well of magical talent that they can tap into, but not without some unfortunate genetic consequences. Scarring, tattoos, disfigurement, or warped limbs are not uncommon physical traits of a hagblood. Some blame the phenomenon on an accident made a long time ago, or a deal with //something// going out of hand. Others don't pay much attention to the drawbacks, and leverage their craft to its fullest advantage. | Humans that happen to have a powerful well of magical talent that they can tap into, but not without some unfortunate genetic consequences.
