This. Normally, it wouldn't be that big of an issue to be abhuman, but the fact that he demonstrably wasn't one until just recently might cause uncomfortable questions to be asked.
Felinids are a thing ( tho far more anthro then the catboy look he has)
Totally, but you have to consider that he turned himself into one and has already been seen as a normal human. That makes this a spontaneous mutation, and those are... Not something you want in 40k, because generally that means being too close to the warp for pretty much anyone's comfort.
Eh. they have halflings, ogres, dwarves, and catgirls all counting as "abhumans" which are officially accepted.
Thats all true but all those races are treated worse than humans, being human while in empire colonies is the best outcome. Otherwise you ware way easier to target and abuse.
True. hence I noted the "unofficial" persecution.
Operators are the paramilitary styled people from the Arknights game. basically, those are the base units of the game. Lore-wise, due to the nature of the place nearly everyone has some form of combat training from a stupidly young age, so take that as you will.
This was a deliberate drawback that I indulged in to make writing a bit more interesting. While there is currently little that the scrub gangs could do to hurt him, Tory is still in a bind against the better equipped and more experienced gangs, if only because of being outnumbered. This adds to that in a way.
That particular plot issue hasn't been fully addressed yet, and I will be revisiting it soon. I will say that the unusual focus was noted by more than one group, and they have begun investigating why.huh open mutations in 40k better cut those off fast
interesting that every cult back group wants his head so fast guess they must see the danger he posses to them or do they just want to new toy on the block
So remove the changes. If they are going to be an issue, and he knows they are going to be issue why is he not removing them when he could easily do it in what? one afternoon? Its not like these are changes he wanted for identity reasons or the look, they are pretty much side effects, as such they should be treated like it and cut out.
Yeah, but IIRC they're forcibly confined to a limited number of planets in the Imperium, and they're subjected to horrendous systemic racism and bigotry. Abhumans in general are often seen as barely a step above mutants.
Their official status as "accepted" is little better than apartheid or Jim Crow in a lot of cases though.
so to sum it up. unofficially might still get persecuted, just like I said
Well, no. They also get officially persecuted a huge amount too, as I explained. When the persecution is the official policy of the Administratum, Arbites, Inquisition, Militarum, and plenty of other organisations besides, that persecution is about as "official" as it gets.
