*genome* *** ![[Haneul Art.jpg]] The Haneul genome is an attempt to bioengineer spirituality and enlightenment. Researchers at Proteome Diversified worked with every scrap of genomics and neuroscience they could find. Studies were performed on thousands of monks, priests, nuns, shamans, intuitives, gurus, and any other spiritual or insightful individual available, looking for patterns in genes and brain physiology. The Haneul genome is a result of all the emergences synthesized from that data. One novel feature of this genome is a specialized corpus callosum, once that seems to preserve two different conscious identities inside one body, one in each hemisphere. Haneuls self-report alternating between feeling like a unified consciousness and two separate selves. This natural feature seems to give them insight into the universality of consciousness, and feeling more kinship with everyone. Haneuls also have daemons injected into their bodies at the fetal stage, developing with them before they are even born. They seem to be able to easily incorporate their innate daemon into their unified consciousness, shifting between the trio of “minds” in one body. ## Haneul Traits **Ability Score Increase.** Your Wisdom score is increased by 4 and your Dexterity score is increased by 2. Additionally, your maximum Wisdom score is 24 instead of 20. **Cultivated Daemon.** Your daemon (CRB, pg. 166) gains a bonus to Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma equal to double your proficiency bonus. Additionally, it gains proficiency in an extra skill of your choice and gains proficiency in another skill whenever your proficiency bonus increases. If you get the Custom Daemon upgrade and replace your native daemon, you lose this feature. **Daemon Possession.** You are so in-tune with your birth-daemon that you can incorporate it into your consciousness for short periods. As a free action you gain proficiency in all skills that your daemon has. In addition, if your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma scores are below your daemon’s, they are automatically raised to the level of your daemon’s for as long as this feature is active. This feature lasts for 10 minutes and you must take a short rest before you are able to use it again. **Fatalistic.** While your will is strong, seeing the big picture all of the time can leave you a little apathetic about the details and tend to go with the flow. When we are all one, it can be hard to fight for yourself as a separate being. You have disadvantage on initative checks and a -5 to Passive Perception. **Identity Confusion.** While you are normally able to weave between your two consciousnesses and a unity of consciousness with ease, occasionally it gets a bit weird. After completing character creation, choose three of your skill proficiencies. These three proficiencies belong to one of your split minds, but not the other. Whenever you roll a natural one on an ability check one of your two personalities goes dormant. Roll a 1d6: on a 1-3 you lose proficiency in those three skills, and on a 4-6 you lose proficiency in all of your other skills. You regain the lost proficiency after a short rest. **Split Brain.** The pathways in your brain are wired a bit differently, two minds are better than one. You gain the following benefits: - You add your proficiency bonus when making saving throws against any mind hacks, stacking with any possible ability score proficiency bonus you might have. - You can run an additional hack or upgrade that requires concentration (you may concentrate on one more effect than normal) **Reflective.** You naturally puzzle over mysteries of the universe and you’ve likely studied spirituality and psychology either in your crèche or on your own. You gain proficiency in Insight and Social Science. #SOK
