-Chimerae are generally savvy entities, characterised by their keen minds, adaptability to present circumstances, and readiness to seize opportunities in the moment. They are often employed as muscle, perhaps to act as a bodyguard warding off thieves and competitors, to watch over a forbidden gate between worlds, or to remain locked in eternal combat with some other Entity that must be kept at bay. Others, more ferocious in mind than body, may be renowned across the multiverse as the sharpest lawyers, or stand at the head of a cut-throat business. Their Primary Attribute is their __Instinct__, and their Secondary Attributes are their __Grasp__, __Coat__, and __Crest__. +Chimerae are primal Manifestations with a natural theme. They typically have animal-like forms, though they may also have elemental or plant-like aspects as well. Their Primary Attribute is a behavioural Instinct. Their Secondary Attributes are their Grasp by which they interact with the world, their Coat which protects them, and their Crest which is an outward display of their nature.

-Chimerae’s primary Attribute is their __Instinct__. It represents an innate compulsion that they have when interacting with the world and others. Sometimes it serves them well, giving them deeper insight or a chance to react before others; other times it’s less than helpful, a gut feeling leading them astray, or a tendency towards a course of action inappropriate to the circumstances. Instincts describe a behaviour the Chimera often engages in. The advantage is that they are typically very good at what they do most often; the disadvantage comes from applying that same behaviour in an inappropriate situation, or discomfort when unable to engage with it properly.+Chimerae’s primary Attribute is their **Instinct**.

-A Chimera’s Grasp is the primary means by which it physically interacts with the world. Chimerae are very physical entities which prefer to work directly with their hands (or equivalents) rather than with tools. Their Grasp - such as claws, paws or talons - is thus specialised to a particular kind of purpose. The Grasp generally refers to some form of hand or similar appendage found in nature, and describe its strengths with one or two adjectives. Rather than describing a specific purpose, it should describe a broad class of activity to which they are suited.+A Chimera’s Grasp is the primary means by which it physically interacts with the world. Chimerae are very physical entities which prefer to work directly with their hands (or equivalents) rather than with tools. Their Grasp - such as claws, paws or talons - is thus suited to a broad class of activity. The Grasp generally refers to some form of hand or similar appendage found in nature, and describe its strengths with one or two adjectives. They have a physical effect, but this includes elemental aspects such as fire, lightning, ice, etc.

-A Chimera’s Crest is a symbol of its power. It is often the first thing a person notices when they meet a Chimera, signalling its strength and majesty, social grace, or feral ferocity. A Crest describes something about how the Chimera interacts with others - both their approach and the impression it gives. It should generally be based on something natural, usually a striking or showy aspect of an animal or plant.+A Chimera’s Crest is an outward symbol of its power, an impressive and showy feature, usually extending from its head, signalling its strength and majesty, social grace, or feral ferocity. A Crest describes something about how the Chimera interacts with others - both their approach and the impression it gives. Though always present, utilising the effects of the Crest means backing it up with words and actions. It should generally be based on something natural, usually a striking aspect of an animal or plant.

-====Deed==== 
-As with all Deeds, there are no strict rules except that they should be phrased as "shorthand reference + //elaboration//". When one wants to refer to a Deed in play, one can simply refer to the shorthand (e.g. "Nurtured the Great Garden").  
- 
-However, Chimerae tend to be quite hands-on with their Deeds, embroiling themselves directly in the affairs of their worlds rather than influencing from afar or maintaining behind the scenes. Note that this will be displayed alongside your public bio. 
- 
-Examples: 
-  * Fought and defeated the abyssal serpent //through sheer strength and endurance// 
-  * Nurtured the Great Garden //providing sanctuary for all who made their home there// 
-  * Freed the moon from her prison //by tricking Dreamer of the Endless Night, Darkness Without End// 
-  * Sensed the coming of the Storm of Eons //and advised the people on how to prepare and survive//
