Cleanblood

Cleanbloods (also known as Fresh Meat and Old-Worlders) are humans who survived the nuclear apocalypse with little to no mutations caused by radiation. Having found proper shelter in fallout bunkers and stocked enough nutrients and resources to last the nuclear winter in generally good health, cleanbloods are typically identified by their physical well-being. It is rare that a cleanblood strays far from their home, whether it be a locked fallout shelter or a close-knit community of survivors.

Cleanbloods are extremely rare in the wasteland, giving them an almost mythical reputation; some believing them to be signs of security and holiness, and others seeing them as demons and symbols of regression.

Biology
Cleanbloods, by nature, are identical to pre-apocalypse humans. They typically grow to be between five and six feet in height (though there are certainly outliers). Males often grow to be around 160 pounds, while females will usually stay around 130 pounds. If they live a generally healthy lifestyle (as appropriate in the wasteland), a cleanblood may live to be 60 or 70 years of age, which is seconded only by the Huskers, whose natural lifespan is of much speculation.

Cleanbloods come in many different shapes and sizes, but most who have spent their time surviving (as anyone would), usually find themselves with a lean, muscular build. Their skin is much smoother than the average survivor, and are typically much healthier too, but have been known to suffer greatly from even minuscule amounts of radiation poisoning, usually leading to tumors and fatal illness.

Culture
Cleanbloods, being a notable minority in the wasteland, do not have any true "culture". They usually adopt the culture of whoever they live around, or retain the same old-world ideologies and traits that they or their ancestors had in the pre-apocalyptic world.

Cultural Impact
The existence of cleanbloods is akin to that of Mothman in many parts of the wasteland; a product of stories past along for generations, growing more absurd with each retelling. However, those that claim to have met (or even befriended) cleanbloods will speak of them in grandeur. There are those that view the cleanbloods as angels, messengers from the gods sent to bring hope to the tortured souls of the wasteland. There are several cleanbloods that have gone down in history as beloved rulers, holy figures, and even deities in mortal form.

However, there are those that are not so welcoming of cleanbloods. Many sapient mutants and members of the more deformed species see cleanbloods as a step back in evolution, or even as fiends come to rid the world of the unclean. This fear-mongering has led to many tragedies, from raids on fallout shelters to ceremonial killings of cleanbloods. Ultimately, many cleanbloods have learned that it is better not to be confrontational in the wasteland.
