Half-Drosians are the result of interbreeding between a Drosian and one of the peoples of Ananke, usually an Ananke Human; this is not usually a happy affair and true loving relationships between two willing parents is rare if not unheard of. Half-Drosians usually come from the Occupation Zones and survive by managing to look either as native as possible, or as Drosian as possible for fear of being snatched up by the Imperium for experimentation. Possessing the same genetics as their Drosian parent, they require a rebreather to exist for long periods of time in the Ananke atmosphere, suffering asthma-like symptoms due to the high amounts of oxygen. A common breathing condition known as Desert Cough is often used as an excuse by Half-Drosians for the requirement of the mask.
Half-Drosians are intended as intense roleplaying experiences, literally being torn between two worlds, suffering the deleterious effects of this one, and shunned by both societies should your true origin come out.
