Origin and History

Mosaic introduced several hybrid human genotypes in the 2260s. The Hermes line was their second most popular and was well established before the gene freeze ended all development.

Biology

Herms are categorized with a CIT level of 2, incorporating a somewhat average level of cybernetic integration. Aside from their pigmentation, they are best known for having opaque, compound eyes.

The genome boasts a level of disease resistance comparable to other models of the 2260s.

Culture and Demographics

Herms are not ethnically exclusive and can be found in nearly every niche of outer solar system society. However, they do embrace several long standing traditions, such as the Double and Bold, a double line tattoo that bisects the body. Traditionally, this tattoo is received upon becoming a parent. The tradition is believed to have originated among young family groups in the Neptunian sphere sometime in the 2290s.

Like most genomes represented within the Tichordea Concord, there is a Hermes cultural embassy at Haumea.
