mild lore update

remember how I mentioned Uplifts, no?

well, your in luck. there are humans, the various undead, and mages in IFPEism, but no dragons or supernatural creatures.

but there are Uplifts, semihuman hybrids between human and animal. they include everything from intelligent cats and animal vampires that were given sentience by other vampires to driders (a huge sort of spider centaur) and catgirls (yes, catgirls, spay yours today!), divided roughly between animals that are made sapient artificially and human animal hybrids. people can get artificial grafts (nekomimi?) but are not uplifts.

though some (chimera beasts, furries *stealth insult*) are not sentient, but most uplifts are treated legally as perpetual minors or as full citizens. for instance, a sentient crab Uplift could be a legal/ cultural cross between a minor and a pet, while the typical catgirl is a normal person with some benefits typical of a mentally ill person (like a trust fund), and some driders were created as weapons, and must serve in the military.

sadly, no uplift is treated as a full person, but they are treated as sapient, intelligent  beings. they can usually file for evaluation to gain more rights, and treated more like children than animals. there in no major prejudice against them. they could be compared to an ethnic minority.
