## The Origins of Rats
Origin backgrounds for the Krisitik race. Giving insight to Krisitik
homeworlds, religions and cultures. This should hopefull allow new
playuers to familarize themselves with the belief systems of the
Krisitik and their society at a glance in game rather than from a wiki.

<!-- Argue for the merits of your changes and how they benefit the game,
especially if they are controversial and/or far reaching. If you can't
actually explain WHY what you are doing will improve the game, then it
probably isn't good for the game in the first place. -->

## Changelog

<!-- If your PR modifies aspects of the game that can be concretely
observed by players or admins you should add a changelog. If your change
does NOT meet this description, remove this section. Be sure to properly
mark your PRs to prevent unnecessary GBP loss. You can read up on GBP
and it's effects on PRs in the tgstation guides for contributors. Please
note that maintainers freely reserve the right to remove and add tags
should they deem it appropriate. You can attempt to finagle the system
all you want, but it's best to shoot for clear communication right off
the bat. -->

:cl:
add: One Citizenship, Three Religions, Four Cultures, and Three Origins.
/:cl:

<!-- Both :cl:'s are required for the changelog to work! You can put
your name to the right of the first :cl: if you want to overwrite your
GitHub username as author ingame. -->
<!-- You can use multiple of the same prefix (they're only used for the
icon ingame) and delete the unneeded ones. Despite some of the tags,
changelogs should generally represent how a player might be affected by
the changes rather than a summary of the PR's contents. -->

the crowded cities. Clanners tend to be communal sharing their resources to survive. Clan settlements or districts are often all employed in a single trade which they export in order \
to support their life. This trade can be anything from farming (hydroponics on Murith and more recently overground farming on some colonies), to mining to even complex professions, \
such as operating powerplants or spaceship docks. Clanners are run by a council of its most elder and respected women who tend to pass their positions to their daughters upon retirement \

of their lives contending with the same problem as human spacers these Krisitik have become adept at existing in enviroments where atmospheric pressure and gravity are not guaranteed. \
Most of this group has been united by the Murith League of Teamsters whose network of independ starship operators keeps the isolated asteroid bases supplied and the supply ships busy with \

undergoes natural radioactive decay however, fission can induce the split all at once. Similarly, Fission Cults believe that life should be lived 'releasing all its energy at once'. \
In practice this means Fission Cults believe in extreme hedonism, using drugs, sex, music, and extreme sports to live wild lives but short lives. Extreme Fission Cultists are known \
to engage in criminal activity in order to live their 'fullest' lives. This not only includes illegal trafficking of drugs but also murder, terrorism and piracy. It is not uncommon \
for Fission Cultists with a terminal illness or facing life in prison to launch kamikaze terror attacks in one final 'splitting of the atom'."
