Something from another thread got me thinking, how might eugenics work in a fantasy setting? I've heard of the Dragon Blooded from Exalted, sure, since I'm using them for my OP image, but that focuses more on making sure as many new DBs exalt as possible than any trait or traits that would exist in this world, or correspond to actual genetics for that matter, since IIRC, DNA does not exist as such in Creation. Getting back to the original topic, how might eugenics work in a fantasy setting? If magic can alter biology, how much knowledge of DNA/inheritance should it require? For that matter, how much should a fantasy setting understand about genetics/inheritance at all? Presumably they would have a Mendelian-level knowledge if they're doing this at all, but should they go any further? And besides trying to make better soldiers or something similar, like increasing the number of mages if it's genetic, what are some good goals for a fantasy eugenics program, and how could it have gotten started in the first place?

Hey /tg/, you guys up for some story time? Of course you are! This is just my experience with a freeform RP a while back, and I think it’s about time I share it. It’s been a long time, so sorry if some details are a bit hazy, but I remember the important bits. Behold, the Ballad of Edgardo!
>Get a hankering for some RP, cruise a couple forums >Something catches my eye >Some kind of weird combination of stuff from Dragon Ball Z, Gurren Lagann, Avatar the Last Airbender, and a few other themes from different shows >Basically animu: the game >Honestly kind of a cool setting after reading through it. Super-powered dudes wander around doing their own thing, having adventures, and trying to stop evil “shadows” from consuming the world. >Looks cool, sign up and start making a character. >Characters had attributes (strength, speed, the usual shit), Traits/Powers chosen from a big list, and Spirit, which you used for doing cool shit. >Had a certain number of points to spend on Attributes, maxed strength and put some into speed, endurance, and a couple in charm. >Wanted to try a brawler type guy. I’ll get to why that idea was a bad one later.
You are a monk of the Order of the Insightful Fist, an ancient sect of martial artists that combine their arts with various forms of magic resulting in some of the most unique and dangerous styles on the planet.
However, before we get into the details of your story, there is one thing that I need to know.
What is your name? (Roll a d10, highest of the first three posts will be used)
