Survivors[edit]

Survivors (Homo Sapiens Superstes) are a notably hardy human subspecies. They were genetically engineered from ordinary humans, and designed to be able to survive even in very inhospitable environments. Survivors are often found in post-apocalyptic worlds, or remote colonies on very inhospitable planets.

Personality[edit]

Survivors are practical and do what they have to in order to survive. Survivors usually remain calm and collected even under considerable stress, and are decisive in the face of danger.

Physical Description[edit]

Survivors resemble ordinary humans in appearance, but are naturally wiry.

Relations[edit]

Compared to ordinary humans, Survivors tend to be recluse and wary of strangers.

Alignment[edit]

Any. However, due to their practical nature, they tend to adapt Neutral, or even Evil alignments, as holding on to high moral values may reduce their chances of survival.

Lands[edit]

Any. While adapted to and usually found in inhospitable environments, Survivors aren't naive and will relocate to more comfortable environments if the opportunity arises.

Religion[edit]

According to their alignment/tradition. Religiously speaking, Survivors tend to extremes; some are highly devout, while others prefer to focus exclusively on their mundane existence.

Language[edit]

Common.

Names[edit]
