===Frankensteins, the Wretched=== [[File:Lineage - Frankenstein.png|100px|right]] ::'''Humour''': Choler (Yellow bile) ::'''Element''': Fire As their name suggests, the Frankensteins are made from pieces that were put together. Most frequently of human bodies, but they can also include nonhuman or even inorganic parts. Because of their fractured nature and bilious humour they can be quite contrarian, questioning everything they see to learn from it. They see their existence as a challenge, always pushing their abilities to their limits. They revel in such challenges, willing to take them on to expand their boundaries and test the world around them. This makes them rather forceful and zealous in nature, albeit as bitter, angry, and vengeful as the first of their kind (who is still around and answers to the name of "Mr. Verney"- in-universe, Mary Shelley originally got the story of Frankenstein and his Monster from the Bride of Frankenstein, who was actually created by the Monster and became a Centimanus after turning against him). The most important lesson the Frankensteins need to learn on the Pilgrimage is how to pick their battles. As good as they are at testing boundaries and asking questions nobody else thinks of asking, it's equally important to know when to accept defeat, when to let things go, and when to take things at face value. In time, they may choose to fight nevertheless but they will no longer be compelled to do so for its own sake. Also like Frankenstein's Monster, a Frankenstein's Torment is simple, violent, rage- they may believe they're seeking justice for some perceived slight, but far more frequently it's just the vengeful desire to make someone else feel the pain they feel, even if that someone is one of their loved ones. This very frequently ends up creating a vicious cycle in which the Frankenstein's Torment drives him to go too far in the name of revenge, only for the consequences to come back and bite him in the ass and push him further into Torment. At the same time, their constituent body parts grow uncooperative as fragments of their original owners' personalities manifest through them- a hand taken from a peaceful man might refuse to pull the trigger of a gun, for example. Their Disquiet makes people irritable and quick to anger, and eventually people come to view the Frankenstein as the source of all their problems. Finally, their Wasteland triggers violent thunderstorms, spontaneous combustion in random objects, and unexplained aggression in both people and animals.
