World[]
The human race is divided into various tribes that maintain their distinctive qualities in modern society despite the passage of time and subsequent evolutionary changes.
Owl Tribe: they have turned out a large number of scholars throughout the generations. Once they fall for a hobby it is not uncommon for members to amass expert-level knowledge on the subject. Many tend to be family oriented and securing a family home is an important goal.
Snake Tribe: the tribe of the Black Hand that used to dominate the immigrant communities of America. Members exhibit unique physical characteristics including sharp fangs and silver hair. They can leave imprints on people to draw them to one another using pheromones with physical consequences if they are apart for long periods.
