			CLASS
			This Background denotes a character’s place within the
			rigid society of Autochthonia. It subsumes the functions of
			Influence, because jurisdictional authority is incorporated
			directly into an Autochthonian’s social class. It subsumes
			Resources, because although Autochthonia does see some
			bartering and trade, particularly between nations, it has no
			fixed monetary unit, and individual hoarding is strongly discouraged. It subsumes Followers, because cults of personality
			are outlawed as disruptive. A social class’s administrative
			burdens dictate how many assistants and followers one of its
			members may requisition or appoint to assist in his labors.
			While an observer from Creation might believe Alchemicals stand outside of this rigid system, the truth is that
			they are enshrined in a special position as state-sponsored
			heroes. Unlike Creation’s Exalted, these industrial czars,
			technological innovators and mechanized warriors do not
			rule. Instead, they perform epic feats on behalf of their nation. Greater degrees of autonomy, luxury and authority to
			requisition goods and personnel are granted as they labor for
			the good of their mortal brethren. As such, all Alchemicals
			(save for those of the Adamant Caste) begin play with Class
			••• for free and may raise it with bonus points to reflect a
			particularly illustrious service record before play begins.
			Autochthonian mortals exiled or born into outcast colonies do not use this Background and must scrape together a
			subsistence using Followers, Influence and Resources

			ence using Followers, Influence and Resources.

			X This is the rating of the Lumpen underclass and, in
			games where the Seal of Eight Divinities has been
			breached, of slaves from Creation. Class 0 provides a
			tolerable standard of living equivalent to Resources
			•, but imposes a -1 external penalty on all social
			interaction with individuals of higher Class.

			• As a general laborer or aide of the Populat, your
			character enjoys a sparse but comfortable standard
			of living equal to Resources ••. She lives in a dormitory with several dozen individuals, the entirety
			of which is communal property. In a game incorporating Creation-dwelling loyalists, members of this
			Outsider caste also share this Class rating, though
			they are barred from entering Autochthonia.

			•• Your character is a shift chief of the Populat,
			overseeing anywhere from 20 to 300 workers. She
			lives in a Resources ••• apartment with about a
			dozen peers.

			••• Your character is either a foreman of the Populat,
			responsible for overseeing an entire factory, a junior
			member of the Tripartite (and thus also require
			Backing at 1–2 dots) or a young or notably disruptive
			Alchemical. She enjoys a standard of living equal
			to Resources •••, with a small staff of personal
			aides (ostensibly for professional use only). Your
			character’s rank allows her to requisition goods and
			services valued at Resources ••••, but she might
			need to justify such requisitions to her superiors.
			Foremen live in suites housing six peers, while
			the most junior members of the Tripartite pair up
			in sparse but spacious apartments. Slightly more
			experienced Tripartite members and all Alchemical
			Exalts have small private domiciles befitting their
			importance. Your character receives a situational
			bonus die to all social rolls when interacting with
			characters of lower Class.

			•••• Your character is a regional supervisor of the
			Populat, directing an entire industry within
			her city. Alternatively, she is a veteran member
			of the Tripartite (with Backing at 2–3 dots) or
			a seasoned or unusually active Alchemical. Your
			character has a standard of living equivalent to
			Resources ••• or •••• according to her sensibilities and may freely requisition goods and services
			as valuable as Resources ••••• if she is willing to
			justify such extravagances to her local Tripartite
			Assembly. Your character’s private residence/office complex is spacious and comfortable, roughly
			the size of a townhouse in Creation, and she has
			an extensive staff of aides and assistants. Your
			character receives a situational bonus die to
			social rolls when interacting with characters
			of lower Class.

			••••• Your character is a director of the Populat
			or a senior leader in the Tripartite (with
			Backing at four to five dots). Alternatively,
			your character is an elder or phenomenally
			accomplished younger Alchemical. She lives,
			as befits her authority, in a palatial residence,
			most likely living at Resources •••• or
			••••• depending on her ego. Only the most
			egregious abuses of requisition power and/or her
			staff will be censured. Your character receives a
			two-die situational bonus when interacting with
			characters of lower Class.
