Chimera

== Chimeras ==
Chimeras are human-hybrids developed to be the next step in human evolution. Members of the Pentekath (humans who have displayed resistance or immunity to strains of the corrugenic virus) have provided their genetic material to the development of chimeras. The hope is that a chimera will evolve to a point where it's immune to all strains of the corrugenic virus, heralding in a human-hybrid species that can help humanity rebuild protective infrastructure. It is also believed that a corrugenic vaccine could be developed from a fully immune chimera and administered to humans in the fetal stage, guaranteeing safety for future generations.
While Sanctuaries tend to refer to their chimera as "the Chimera," it's important to note that there are thousands in existence. While each chimera originates from similar genetic structures, their genetic course differs, as do the events they've experienced. Chimeras have historically faced discrimination from humans, partly because it is erroneously believed that they all share the same personality. This creates a fear that the species would unequivocally work together to replace humanity. While many chimeras share similar dispositions, there are also those who are wildly different from their peers, and their beliefs and ambitions may not line up with the norm. The Chimeric War is evidence that not all chimeras share the same ideals, as some were aggressors while others were reluctantly pulled into a fight.
