Scout-Class Engineered represent the masterpiece of Prince Varethis’Daer Venar's bioengineering, a sensory-dominant lineage of Engineered humans optimized for mapping uncharted lands, unassisted survival, and undetected terrain surveillance. Augmented senses detect broad light spectra, atmospheric shifts, scent trails, and subtle movements via anticipatory muscle cues, rendering them independent of unreliable tools. Their cognitive framework masters spatial archiving and multi-layered sensory recall, often isolating them as only peers comprehend their amplified reality. They distrust Tactician-Class leadership because Tacticians prioritize logical deduction over direct sensory input, which is the opposite of how Scouts rely on immediate, unfiltered perception. They excel at camouflaging in harsh natural surroundings, but they are the only common class completely unable to pass as natural-born among humans. The Tactician-Class appears ordinary at first glance, only revealing their superhuman intellect through speech and reasoning; the Assault-Class, while massive and towering, share faces identical to any natural-born human, allowing them to pass among people despite their size. The Scout-Class, on the other hand, cannot blend in due to visibly distinct traits: they range from standard human height to just under seven feet, with cranial structures showing slight nonhuman proportions like elongated ocular ranges and subtle skin translucency over the temples; their eye pigmentation shifts in unstable light, and muscle tone appears leaner and denser, often startling or scaring those who encounter them for the first time. Experts in improvised camouflage and prolonged stillness, they deem combat as a scouting lapse. Post-duty, some track for landowners or syndicates, others retreat to remote outposts like Saethera's brutal south alongside devoted Assault-Class companions. Their supreme vigilance unlocks untamed frontiers, indispensable for expedition threat evaluation.
