Darkbloods

Darkbloods, also called Dreinakin (Katnaituhng) are a genetically modified sub-species of human who inhabit Karidia and the Albur. This modification makes their blood turn black due to a metal compound changing the genetic traits of the person. Those with darkblood have a higher resistance to radiation and their senses are enhanced to a greater degree. However inheriting darkblood is quite rare if both parents and both sets of grandparents are not darkbloods.

Creation
Originally found in a metal that came to earth in a meteor show in the 2020s, darkblood was created due to genetic engineering by Katerina Budzika. She wanted to create a better generation of humans, one that was smarter, faster and stronger. She did this by extracting the drianium found in the asteroids that didn't burn up in the Earth's atmosphere.

History
In the first quarter of 2026, Katerina tests her black blood serum on herself, transforming herself into the first darkblood, she then uses her serum on her sister who then went to Mars for a decade. The first darkblood to be born with black blood was Katerina's youngest son, Sterling, who also happened to be the only one of her children to survive the CTB-1 incident caused by her eldest child.

In Eden, having black blood was kept a secret in the Houston family. Only trusted family and friends were ever told the secret even though a majority of people in Eden have some sort of genetic mutation that typically went unnoticed.
