 Despite their diverse genetic heritage, Hyboreans are able to interbreed with some success, yielding a variety of hybrids. The current, most dominant type of Hyborean has a variety of traits from different aquatic and amphibious creatures, and is the focus of this article. Despite their diverse genetic heritage, Hyboreans are able to interbreed with some success, yielding a variety of hybrids.

-All Hyboreans take advantage of [[nation:hfs#magic|spirit binding]], which allows them to use the powers of various magical creatures. Their choice of inheritance has a pronounced effect on their appearance, such as a potent wind-oriented spirit moving their hair about in a non-existent wind.+All Hyboreans take advantage of [[shards:hfs#magic|spirit binding]], which allows them to use the powers of various magical creatures.

 ===== History ===== ===== History =====
  
-The history of Hyboreans is the history of the [[nation:hfs#history|Hybora Free States]]. Their species prefers loose, tight groupings over large, wide ones, and so they have little in the way of large governments or country-spanning wars. Instead, they are focused largely on the trade of artisanal goods, supplies, and other necessities. This trade was once conducted by sea-faring ships, which later became star-faring ones.+The history of Hyboreans is the history of the [[shards:hfs#history|Hybora Free States]].

-Magic has been a part of their history for as long as any Hyborean can tell it. Acts of the arcane large and small are central to any number of their stories. All Hyboreans are capable of performing magic to some extent by using [[nation:hfs#magic|spirit binding]], which has caused their pursuit of the scientific realm to come to a near complete halt. From time to time some new, better way of doing something without magic is found and widely adopted, but generally speaking they see little reason to do anything except improve their magics.+Magic has been a part of their history for as long as any Hyborean can tell it.

-Hyboreans speak [[nation:hfs#language|Hyboric]], a Trade language, a chaotic mish-mash of languages from across their home system.

-Hyboreans are more superstitious than religious, as with the rest of the [[nation:hfs#religion|Hybora Free States]]. They take old wives' tales, sailor stories, monster sightings, and more very seriously - especially because the wild magics of the Hybora system often prove them right.+Hyboreans are more superstitious than religious, as with the rest of the [[shards:hfs#religion|Hybora Free States]].

 This superstition can lead to any number of humorous or challenging situations. For example, a captain might believe that stepping onto their ship with your right foot first is a terrible omen. They may not //tell// anyone this, because that would be interfering with fate in a way that makes things worse. Instead, they nervously watch as each person boards the ship, making uncomfortable faces if a potential passenger begins to step the wrong way and a relieved face when they get it right. This superstition can lead to any number of humorous or challenging situations.
