'''Castes''' are one aspect of [[character]] creation in [[{{Gamename}}]]. There are 24 castes available.


'''Castes''' are the [[True Kin]] subtypes that the player may choose from during character creation in [[{{gamename}}]].
Players who begin the game as a [[mutant]] will instead have a choice of [[calling]].
There are 12 '''castes''' available. Each of those '''castes''' is associated with one of the following three '''arcologies''':
* {{qud text|&GThe Toxic Arboreta of Ekuemekiyye, the Holy City}}: Castes from this arcology have extra resistance to [[bleeding]] effects and may choose {{favilink|nocturnal apex}} as their unique [[Cybernetics#Character_Creation|starting cybernetic]].
* {{qud text|&CThe Ice-Sheathed Arcology of Ibul}}: Castes from this arcology have exceptional [[cold resistance]] and may choose {{favilink|cherubic visage}} as their unique [[Cybernetics#Character_Creation|starting cybernetic]].
* {{qud text|&RThe Crustal Mortars of Yawningmoon}}: Castes from this arcology have exceptional [[heat resistance]] effects and may choose {{favilink|air current microsensor}} as their unique [[Cybernetics#Character_Creation|starting cybernetic]].
