Artstation Challenge: Beyond Human Final Character Lineup

Final Post

At long last, here are all the characters of "Beyond Human" world.

_______________________________________________

SYNOPSIS

In the  future, the humans lost to diseases, war, crimes and calamities. Their population diminished to the brink of extinction. In order to survive, humans were grouped into Sanctuaries, where  people were classified according to their genetics information.

The high group, called the "Dominants", were those who have good blood and vitality; while the low group, the "Carriers" were those who have frail blood and were susceptible to illness. Although the Carriers may have low resistance, most of them are good receptors of mutation experimentation.

Mutation gives Carriers chance to rise to the Dominants but only if they pass several tests and requirements. 

The story began as a backlash of a tragedy two decades ago, when one of the Carrier Sanctuary, the Gloxius was mysteriously terminated by the World High Governor Obnegon for an alleged outbreak. Gloxius was irrationally destroyed. No one escaped.

Maggnu Conservatory is a few hundred miles South of the late Gloxius. It is a place where most
Dominant children get educated and trained for the future.
