Choose Your Strain of Humanity
It's been seven generations since the last human walked the Earth. But the Human Race did not die out, it mutated. Below you will find the available Strains of Humanity available for you to play as at your first Dystopia Rising: Michigan Event. Your Strain will provide you with guidelines for a cultural background, and costuming. All Strains at DR:MI are open, but some require additional costuming or roleplay requirements.
If you are a first time Dystopia Rising player, start on page 20 of the Dystopia Rising Live: Player’s Guide to read about the base Lineages and Strains. If you want a deeper dive on Lineages and Strains, or are interested in Lineage Variants, check out Strained Ancestry: Content for Dystopia Rising Live.
