Variant 2 Humanoid

Variant 2 Humanoids are one of two Variants of the Humanoid species found on Terra. They consist of 13% of the Humanoid population and they occur in all four subspecies on the planet. Variant 2s operate on a crucial function called repulsion, which causes them to float off the ground. At a young age, their repulsion is weak, but once they reach adulthood, they hover on average 5 feet and 10 inches off the ground. While Variant 2s are capable of disabling their repulsion to rest on surfaces, it's crucial that they are able to re-enable it to remain healthy.

Birth Statistics
The chances of a couple conceiving a Variant 2 varies depending on the Variants found in the couple. A couple of two Variant 1s have ~10% chance of conceiving a Variant 2, whereas a mixed Variant couple has a ~40% chance and a Variant 2 couple has an 80% chance.

Discrimination
Variant 2 Humanoids had been unofficially segregated and shunned for thousands of years. Having a Variant 2 child was often considered shameful in many cultures. From 1776 to 1868, Variant 2s were affected by Jim Crow Laws in the United States. In the Second European War, Variant 2s were one of the marginalised groups sent to concentration camps in Nazi Germany.
