Species
The world of Midnight City Chronicles is made up of many different species aside from humans. Each species has its own traits, abilities, strengths, weaknesses, history, and culture. Some species may call to mind creatures from existing folklore, such as Vampires and Werecreatures. However, the species as they appear in Midnight City do not share all the same traits and abilities as these folklore creatures.
If it is not outlined in their species description then it does not exist in this game as a characteristic of that species.
Mutant and Traveller species allow for players to get creative and craft their own abilities and traits. These species are subject to GM approval, meaning that you may be asked to modify your character after registration to fit within the parameters of the game. To avoid this, run your ability ideas past the GMs first prior to submitting your character.
