Splicers (TCM)

Human-animal hybrids created through genetic manipulation, splicers are created in gene laboratories across the galaxy, though some small communities of true-breeding splicers do exist. The most common splicers are dog- or wolf-people and cat-people, created primarily for military service. Other splicers exist, created for specific purposes or as simple experiments, including ape-, bear-, pig-, and bird-people as well as others.
== Splicer Racial Traits ==
Alertness (+2): Splicers retain the keen senses of their animal genetics, granting the Alertness Edge.
Low-Light Vision (+1): Splicers have eyes much more sensitive to light than a baseline human's, granting them low-light vision.
Outsider (-1): Since Splicers are not a "true" race, but the result of genetic tampering, members of other races often view them as little more than circus freaks, gaining them the Outsider Hindrance.
