Medean

Medean
Medeans are the genetically engineered humans of New Horizon. The genetic enginerring however does not change the underlying human DNA, in fact, a Medean may not only remove any Medean splicing and revert back to a human, but Medean parents give birth to perfectly normal human children, and very few parents force their own children to become Medeans. While all Medeans are individuals and vary wildly in many important aspects, they almost always have some Regenerative ability that allows Medeans not only to heal faster, but also to grow back any critically damaged body part. At the most basic level, it takes nearly three weeks to regenerate new body parts, but that the next step up can regenerate them in under a week. Also, higher up levels of Regeneration provide differing resistances to bleeding out.

Appearance
Medeans vary wildly in appearance, for the most part looking like what most people would call 'Mutants' with spikes and tentacles and scales growing out of the Medean's body. However, some look distinctly like real or mythological animals. Some also look distinctly Olympian, though they tend to be rarer.

When buying traits for a Medean character, one of the things to watch out for is that some of the side effects of the 'cheeper' versions of a few traits can make a character look strange or monsterous, and thus will have to be taken into account when making the Medean character, as they affect gameplay and appearance.
