Manifest Destiny

As long as humans have existed, they have sought to conquer. First their neighboring tribes. Then their neighboring cities. Then their neighboring nations. And now their neighboring worlds.

It didn't take long for the first humans to find themselves on Braneshift. And lo and behold, old habits die hard.

...not that humans make a significant effort to be rid of these urges.

These humans, formed an alliance known as "Manifest Destiny" - a human supremacy movement claiming that human dominion over Braneshift is theirs by right of being human. They will tolerate non-humans if they bow down or consider themselves lesser or subservient to humans. Some are in this because they fear not being the dominant species for once - after all, on Earth, it was much different. Some believe it is best to strike first before being conquered themselves - or that the other races were conspiring against humans. Some honestly believe that non-humans are below them - savages to be conquered for their own well-being. Some just sought power and used the fear from the other aforementioned beliefs to gain that power.

...this has obviously resulted in quite a bit of tension. Manifest Destiny is rather low key in their existence, but tend to be great guerilla tacticians in urban settings, ranging from public protests to harassment to vandalism to arson to calculated homicides. They attempt to approach newcomers before they can be corrupted by the diversity of Braneshift.

Manifest Destiny does not tolerate mutated humans, but they do tolerate magic - so long as that magic is learned. They emphasize the human condition and the natural extent of human capability. Any extremes and outliers are not human in the eyes of Manifest Destiny.
