	Diving into the Tempest (O, OO or OOOO): The Hybrid can willingly enter or exit the Tempest at a Gatewater. To do so she must spend a point of Ichor and roll Occult + Survival. At two dots the Hybrid can sense the presence of a Gatewater in Depth*10 miles by spending a point of Ichor and rolling Wits + Survival. At four Dots they may enter and exit anywhere a Leviathan could. Without a Leviathan to carry them Hybrids can never go deeper than the Shallows.

			Brother to the Fishes (OOO or OOOO): The Hybrid can command non-sentient animals of Size 5 or less to do it's bidding. They use Animal Ken in place of Social Skills and the animal may resist with Resolve + Power Trait. Animals will not perform blatantly suicidal actions.

			Fast Healing (OO or OOO): The Hybrid may spend a point of Ichor to heal a dot of bashing damage. At three dots they may spend two points of Ichor to heal a point of Lethal damage.

	Within the genetic code of every Hybrid lies Mutations, strands of DNA from an earlier age of the world that guide the body in ways unimaginable to natural evolution. A Hybrid may be born displaying all their mutations or they may activate over the course of it's life. If there is a correlation between how a Hybrid appears at birth and it's eventual state the Tribe hasn't identified it. Unlike Leviathans who can guide their genetics through dedication and self discovery Hybrids get what they're born with. Though this means the character has no control over their Mutations the player retains full control.

	Lemashu begin play with a single Mutation chosen by their Strain, Hybrids have four dots to spend as they wish. Additional Mutations can be brought with Merit dots, as always the fifth dot of a Mutation costs double. During play Mutations can be brought for experience points and cost new Dots x 2. There is a further restriction for Lemashu: They have a primary Vestige and select a second favoured Vestige as per their Leviathans' Strain. Lemashu must place a number of dots into their primary Vestige equal to Depth and ~~in addition a~~ number of dots in either favoured Vestige equal to Depth. Favoured Vestiges don't provide experience discounts.		Lemashu begin play with a single Mutation chosen by their Strain, Hybrids have four dots to spend as they wish.

There is a further restriction for Lemashu: They have a primary Vestige and select a second favoured Vestige as per their Leviathans' Strain. Lemashu must place a number of dots into their primary Vestige equal to Depth -1 and an additional number of dots in either favoured Vestige equal to Depth -1, their Strain's starting Mutation does not count towards this Limit. Favoured Vestiges don't provide experience discounts.

	Not all mutations are “cool powers”. Hybrids must take two flaws to represent harmful side effects of their mutations. Neither of these flaws provide experience though they may take a third flaw which will provide experience as normal. Lemashu are not immune to harmful mutations but it's considerably rarer, they do not require any flaws but may take one as usual.		Not all mutations are “cool powers”.

	The first and simplest is to give an extra flaw to Hybrids and Lemashu every time their Depth decreases. This may be tempered with a new Mutation (O – OOOO), each dot allows the player to remove one genetic Flaw. This Mutation either is Universal Affinity or goes under Vitality, Storytellers choice.

This may be tempered with a new Mutation (O – OOOO), each dot allows the player to remove one genetic Flaw. This Mutation either is Universal Affinity or goes under Vitality, Storytellers choice.

	The second is to allow players to take as many additional flaws as they want. The first additional flaw grants experience as usual. Extra Flaws – which must ~~represent genetic disorders~~ – provide “genetic experience” which can only be spent on Mutations. The advantage of this system is that not all Lemashu or Strains of Lemashu are noted to be equally healthy, a fact which for simplicity's sake is not represented in the mechanics. As for what happens when a player has run out of room for Mutations but still has Genetic Experience: sadly that experience is useless, no one ever said genetic disorders were nice.

	The most powerful Hybrids are the ones with the most mutations. But surely the most mutated Hybrids would have a host of disorders as well as their abilities.

	Weak DNA: The Hybrid's genetic structure is exceptionally vulnerable to damage. Whenever the Hybrid rolls to resist a harmful genetic effect (such as cancer) deduct Depth from it's dicepool and whenever another charachter tries to influence the Hybrid's genetics (such as a Genius with biological Metaptropi or a Mage using the Life Arcana) add Depth to their Dicepool. This includes the Channel Everflowing Fetid Growth and cancels out the natural effects of being a Hybrid: Treat the Hybrid as a human for this Channel.
