Io Phase 3 - Human Subrace Variants

Please see patch notes down below for IOverse Humans - pages will be updated at a future date

In Io Phase 3 - Human and Variant Humans are not permitted to be created - I feel it was limiting creativity for more meta/min max builders then actually creating a character to build a story.

In their replacement, is Seven Human Subraces, from all over Io.  These characters are based a lot on events that have happened in Phase 2, meaning there is a lot of Io Lore - from player actions, to story elements that have happened.  Because of this, be warned there is Phase 2 Spoilers in the spread.

As with anything released, everything is in EA and may change as it is updated. Please reply here to any spelling/grammatical errors you may see.  Enjoy!
