I'd personally suggest phylum, genus, or phenotype. They're biological
terms for classification, but they're not necessarily genetic terms.

To the extent in allowing more leeway for NPCs, I'd suggest that there are
government labs in the games experimenting on Deltas. Of course, this
experimentation is still at the level of battlefield surgeons poking
sections of the brain to see which arm jumps.(I assume, I don't really know
how much is known about Deltas in the game.) These experiments frequently
allow the government to create brand new kinds of Delta, which are all,
unfortunately, insane or psychotic.
Basically, this would allow the GM to throw any kind of Monstrosity he
wants to at the PCs.

Now, what I want to know is the source of Deltas. Is it a latent gene in
humanity? Is it caused by a WIldcards like accident? Is a mysterious power
source suddenly manifested like in Shadowrun? I need details.
