Ancestries represent how your parentage, heritage and culture may have influenced your Character’s capabilities.
The Ancestries available to you will vary by Fantasy and Setting. In Traditional Fantasies a broad range of different Traditional Ancestries may coexist, including Humans, Elves, Dwarves etc.
In Modern Fantasies, it is generally assumed that only the Human Ancestry is available. However, Modern Settings will typically include a wider range of possible Backgrounds you may choose from to customize Characters further within these Fantasies.
Meanwhile in Future Fantasies a range of non-Traditional Ancestries are represented, including many expected tropes such as Robots, Androids and a range of different interpretations of aliens including Insectoids and Ascendant beings.
