Short Description
A group of individuals of various racial origins who have undergone genetic mutation through the work of the Vikrin Society to take on aspects of other races or creatures though scientific experimentation in search of biological perfectionFull Description
The Vikrinboren are a group of unique, genetically altered individuals born from the relentless pursuit of biological perfection by the Vikrin Society. The Society itself is a fusion of arcane magic and scientific methodology, working to splice together different racial and creature traits into willing—or sometimes unwilling—subjects. From Dwarven resilience to Dragonborn breath weapons to the chameleon-like adaptability of a shapeshifter, Vikrinboren exhibit a broad spectrum of abilities that reflect their diverse genetic makeup.
Physical Appearance
Vikrinboren are as diverse as the various species from which their traits are derived. Some may have scales, others might have wings, and yet others could have gills, feathers, or insect-like appendages. Their physical form is a testament to the ambitious, if not controversial, goals of the Vikrin Society.
Culture
The Vikrinboren don't have a culture of their own per se, but are more of a byproduct of the Vikrin Society's obsession with biological enhancement. As a result, many Vikrinboren feel a certain level of detachment or even alienation from their original races and communities. Within the Society, they are often treated with a mixture of reverence and scientific curiosity.
Society and Relations
Lacking a cohesive society, Vikrinboren relations are often strained, both among themselves and with other races. However, the unifying aspect of their existence is the never-ending quest for biological perfection, guided by the tenets of the Vikrin Society. This journey brings together Vikrinboren of all kinds in pursuit of a common, if elusive, goal.
Alignment and Religion
Vikrinboren alignments are as varied as their genetic makeup, though many trend toward neutral, reflecting the often clinical perspective of the Society that created them. They may follow any number of deities or philosophies, but a good number are devotees of gods of knowledge, magic, or the natural world.
