| Hybrids and Humans... What to choose... What IS a hybrid, anyway? Hybrids are just like humans. Most look like them, but they've got special attributes about them... Hair, eye, and skin colors that are not natural are very common, and some are born with tails, strange ears, and very rarely, they get wings. They are made by changing the protiens in DNA, and splicing animal genes into human DNA. Most hybrids are born from laboratories in artificial incubators, but there are a few hundred who are given natural births. The difference between a lab-born hybrid and a naturally-born hybrid is that a natural-born hybrid is more accepted in society. They usually look a bit more human, with normal-colored hair and eyes, but there have been known to be a few who are born with unnatural qualities. For some, it's impossible to tell that they're not really human. Natural-born hybrids are also just that: naturally born. They are given a birth much like that of a regular human, though the process involves the artificial mother to go through a large amount of surgery. Also, they're not so tampered with that they can't think for themselves before peeing on a fire hydrant or digging through someone's trash, but they are infused with animalesque qualities and instincts. Hybrids, however, can not spread any more than what is made in the laboratories. Because most hybrids have wildly different DNA compositions, they can't reproduce; no babies for hybrids. There is a method of creating children from a hybrid, however, but it's only been done two times in the history of hybridization and requires the 'father' hybrid to be in stasis of some kind -- which would ideally be cryogenic freezing. From there, DNA is taken from the donor father, and stored away. A mother is then found that is suitable to hold a hybrid baby. That's when the scientists step in. They artificially implant the DNA of the father into an already-pregnant mother's embryo, and the baby that is later born is hybridized. Unfortunately, that sort of means that the child born biologically has two fathers. It also means that a baby cannot be born between two hybrids. Before deciding if you'd like to be a hybrid, consider the possibilities of also being a human... Human's aren't that boring. Hybrids may have differently-colored hair and eyes, but humans are a bit less... Conflicted with themselves. For instance, hybrids are very overwhelmed by instinct. They might protect a person of the opposite gender just because they're of the opposite gender, even if they don't like the person! They'll fight over food, sometimes, and tend to be quite violent, at times. Some are quite the opposite. Some won't defend themselves in the slightest, or will run away at even the slightest inclination of a conflict. They'll hide and cower, but if it comes to their lives being threatened, they'll fight like you wouldn't believe just to save themselves. Humans aren't like that. Humans are usually more capable of thinking before they kick someone's butt just for stealing their hamburger. They'll cower when they need to, and fight when it's right. Consider the choices, and pick wisely. Go Back |
