► NOBLE

Limited solely to humans with the occasional hidden metalman,They've got all the power and they're the ones who rule the houses; keeping an eye on things from high above in their towers as they watch the rest of the people swarm like ants. They don't see much of the lower classes, save when its a charity meeting or the monthly event in which all the nobles from all the Houses visit the central sector in order to 'mingle' with the people. In reality? They're just making sure their hold on the City's power is secured.

► MIDDIE

The middle class of the city, they make up the largest portion of the population and run most of the businesses in town. Most have little interaction with the nobles, save for the few who own a business sponsored by one the houses or the ones who work in the noble houses themselves. They're mostly human, with a few hidden metal-men thrown in for good measure.

► POOR

The lowest of the human social ladder, they're just a step above Metal Men and Hybrids. Unable to afford Pets of their own, they resort to capturing Ferals and attempt to tame them, hoping to sell them for a pretty profit. If that doesn't work? Well, there's always the Goldsbloom Pit Fights and betting is always fun. Not to mention it can make quite the pretty penny.

► METALMAN

People with oil for blood and metal for veins, they're regarded as common criminals no matter their class before. Outcasts of society, they're only a rung higher than the Hybrids--and that's only because they aren't regarded as animals. They're symptoms can be something as easily hidden as a metal fingernail or something as prominent as skin made of steel.

► PET

'Domesticated' Hybrids, Pet's are simply that--pets, if expensive ones. Commonly viewed as pampered by their feral counterparts, Pets take on many different roles in the household--whether its nannies, guards or a family pet with no other role than to just sit there and look pretty. They are forced to wear collars with tracking and shocking chips built in to keep them from straying to far. Made of steel and usually masked by either leather or some pretty fabric, they are known to be very difficult to remove.

► FERAL

'Wild' hybrids or simply hybrids without an owner, Ferals live in the Outskirts, making the area between the city's outer and inner walls their home. Constantly on edge due to the dangers of their lives, they are more instinctive than their domesticated counterparts. They tend to have a great hatred for humans, and generally only barely tolerate metal-men.
