Metahuman

Metahumans
Typically shortened to "meta", metahumans are legally defined as sentient beings who have distinct biological traits or mutations beyond the norms of homo sapiens. These traits are definable within the homo genus but not the species of sapiens. Fae are not considered metahuman, but people born of unions of a true fae and a human while Underhill such as Ivy are classified as homo spiritus. By 2012, there are many recognized races of metahumans, with vampires and lycanthropes as two of the most common and publicized by the media.
