I'm working on an adventure featuring Humanis and am having trouble finding any decent information. Can anybody point me in the direction of a good resource for this policlub or share their views and opinions on how they should be run?

Roughly model them on A Message of Love NOT Hate! :S , only themed on metahumanity and not race and you'll do fine.

Basically the KKK or Neo-Nazis, although their focus is based on (meta)humanity and not race.

Just remember, despite what we might think about the humanis as slang for 'fodder' for stressed out PC's, the true danger of the organization lies on the other end of the spectrum in the ones who 'only want to defend humanity' and decide to run for office.
Remember, Karl Brackhaven didn't do half bad when he ran for president and he is openly the Head of the Seattle Humanis! |

It's like Aztechnology. We get so hip-deep in everything they actually do that we forget that the rest of the world loves the Azzies to bits.

Absolutely. Also remember that it does help such politicians that a VERY small percentage of eligable voters are metahumans. The establishment is primarily human. The Man is primarily human. The CEOs of the majors? Human, IE, or dragon. An orc inhereted a corp in Japan and look what happened there. He basically had to ship the whole thing out of the country to the backwaters of a country that despartely needed the business, and is a bit different in that regional ethnic trumps metahuman bias. |

:rotfl: That's the rough faced, 'fodder' wing. Those colour/B&W "Don't destroy the rainbow" graphics at the bottom of www.kkk.bz? If i saw that as a parody of the KKK i would think it was over the top unbelievable. If the whole topic didn't involve people getting dragged to death behind pickup trucks it would be piss-yourself-laughing hilarious. |

Remember, US President Woodrow Wilson once praise the accuracy of The Birth of a Nation, the imfamous film which present the Klu Klux Klan as heros.
This film and prevailing sentiment spurred the recreation of the KKK as a political action group rather than a bunch of vigilanties. This second incarnation of the KKK actually had a good bit of political power due to support from the public and strong ties to certain elected officials. However, its most outspoken leader was a corrupt rapist who missaprperiated funds and who eventually killed a girl with an overdose of a date rape drug. Congressional hearings followed and the Klan broke up into the isolated cells of wackos that we know today. The difference between Humanis and the KKK is that Humanis still has a good public image. It has competent leadership and hasn't been hit by the types of scandels that destroyed the second incarnation of the KKK. Humanis has strong connections in government and in business and it has enough public support to be a serious political contender. That, and it probably has a banal teenage pop band. Also, humanis isolates itself from violent human supremacist groups. Alamos 40k and a few human suprecimist gangs almost certainly have ties to humanis but they a do a good job of hiding it. Their no violent position is one of the things that makes the palatable to the public at large. |

Even though he was "progressive" on a number of issues, and was in power for Women's Sufferage (although it was more a driving force that he witnessed) given his childhood background (his parents lived in Ohio but supported the Confederacy in the Civil War as he grew up) and on it was completely in character. It was also what was the equivalent of Politically Correct in the US at that time. Certainly politically prudent/expediant given the voting realities for blacks and the overall majority opinion of those that weren't. EDIT: Which put like that closely mirrors where the 6th World is sitting at with metahumans. That also makes Dunk managing to win the Presidency all the more bizzare. Stupid player vote driven plots. :P |

See also whatever forums pop up during a google search of the word "Stormfront." (I'd do one right now, but I'm at work and very seriously don't want to risk that sort of cookie showing up on my pc)

Take a look at Loose Alliances, it will give you a detailed overview about racist groups.

Dunk wasn't a metahuman, he was a dragon. In the voters eyes, that is completely different. Metahumans take your jobs and steal your girlfriends. Dragons level cities just for the hell of it. Besides, Dunk was the most popular Dragon in the world. He was fore famous than Karl Kombatmage and more liked than ice cream. Dunk winning the presidential election was about as likely as Arnold Schwarzenegger becoming governor of California.
A vote for General Yates is a vote of a flesh form Mantis. At least it is if the runners really screwd up his VP's run in Super Tuesday. However, a Mantid couldn't be a worse president that Dunkie turned out to be. At least an insect spirit wouldn't have a good excuse commit suicide on inaguration night. |

No. The damn beast died. I killed it myself. And smuggled massive evidence for the situation in Chicago out.

However a big plank in his platform, iirc, was increased meta rights. It certainly was an open opinion he held. EDIT: But ya, the Arnold factor and all. |

Not to mention...
Are you not gonna vote for a Great Dragon? The kind of dragon that's been known to get into Mortal Kombat with cities and armies? And win? :P Heheh. I'd have voted for him. |

Why does that sound suspiciously like a Shadowrun in the making? |

Here's one that's apparently a member of the Drop Bear military equivalent of the Navy Seals. Only he specializes in operations revolving around waste water treatment plant effluent.
