HUMANS
Humans are one of the main playable races in Durus and most abundant across the world.
They can be found in almost every corner of land because of their tenacious nature and are always full of surprises.
Humans at their basis are still known for their resilience and adaptability without having to subject themselves to the pros and cons of Stitcher or Splicer life style.
In such a dark world filled with monsters and horrors, there may come a time where you as a human will find what makes you the embodiment of the survivor human.

RESILIENCE
There will be things that put a strain on the "soul"
But a human unaltered has little to fret over here.
SPLICERS
Splicers are humans altered through science, genetic splicing and generations of experimenting with different creature DNA.
Some are born descendants. There are also humans who may have traits from a splicer ancestor which usually reveals itself as an unpleasant surprise.
Others are humans or splicers actively altering their genetics through science. They have the advantage of 'naturally' growing and producing biological abilities or other monstrous skills that Stitchers and Steampunk engineers cannot produce such as camouflage and mild shape-shifting
The more splicers augment themselves through the biopunk method, the more unforeseen medical consequences arise, when you introduce other genomes you become a "Chimera" and due to the typical issues of becoming a Chimera, such people are feared or frowned upon for the potential danger they pose.

CATEGORIES
STITCHERS
There are multiple ways to begin "living in death". Becoming a Stitcher means taking on a curse understood by Druids and Witches who study the primordial aspects of Durus. All stitchers suffer a mental toll that is warded off by ritual fetishes and mementos.
the methods are as followed;
- Mystical Rituals, organized and performed either on yourself or with help.
- Performing "Fleshweaving" enough to curse yourself.
- Running into the natural ingredients of the curse in the wilderness and being exposed for too long.
Being a stitcher means the body becomes malleable to surgical craft, grafting and other unorthodox methods. The extreme end of grafting can have unintended consequences.
