Morph-Types

The θɛʃɾəɾi are all born as one of thirteen possible morph types. Some types are significantly rarer than others, but the distribution remains fairly consistent across the population.

The morph-type can mostly be distinguished from birth, barring those who change type through the appropriate rituals and ceremonies, which can be done at any time during one’s life, as many times as needed, once they discover they are not the type that they are supposed to be. Such individuals occur approximately once in every seventy individuals, and are regarded highly, considering the required high self-awareness to discover oneself, and the determination to go through all the transitional rituals and the pain that they entail, if they so choose to (most do, but not all, and some are not able to due to lack of someone who knows how to do the rituals for them).

The types are divided into four 'rings', which describe the proportions of each type relative to each other.
