AKA:
Pure Strain Human
PSH
An unmutated human being identical to the citizens of the Before Time, whose ancestors were never infected by the Prometheus Virus. Pure Humans are recognized without difficulty by surviving relic machines and can use relic tools without modifying them.
Even in polities which aren’t consciously racist, Pure Humans usually enjoy elevated social positions based on their genetic status, and Pure Human enclaves are generally fairly insular and strictly endogamous. In some places, ultra-purist PSHs draw a distinction between themselves and Baseliners, claiming that baseliners are “less pure”
