Poster Defining Attribute

A Poster Defining Attribute or PDA is a nonhuman physical characteristic that distinguishes an individual as posthuman. In the past, such individuals were referred to as abhuman; today they are known as variant. Most posthumans prefer this terminology as it does not imply that baseline is inherently better.quipquipquip: What does PDA stand for? Despite this, PDAs are still widely considered deformities and this bias extends to posthuman classification systems, with an inability to pass as baseline human commonly resulting in a lower strength tier ranking. For instance, despite possessing what would typically be considered an Alpha-level power, Ofelia D has been classified as a Beta due to her PDA.quipquipquip: "Things To Know About Ofelia D"
