During the time when hybrids came into existence, a particular recombination of DNA became compatible with the existing technology for it to work.

The percentage of the animal DNA was fixed. That amount would remain constant.

The next step for the scientists were to experiment with different breed.

Predators and prey alike were tested. The hybrids that could not transform to their animal halves were rejected by nature itself, often not surviving past a month.

As the request for these creatures were made by the people who wanted it for its novelty, it was naturally backed by the prosperous class. In that class, predators were the rage. They were in demand.

Successfully, all the existing predators were translated into the fetish of hybrids.

But scientist soon saw a difference in behavior, not pertaining to a fixed species.

Different Predators reacted differently to the conditioning. When more and more similar cases came forward, the scientist began their evaluation.

They came to understand that within the class of Predators, the personalities of the animal influenced the individual hybrid in a different way.

After grouping them with similar characteristics, broadly groups were made to identify the ones that any human would want in the society for the rank of a satisfactory slave, while which were the characteristics which needed to be abolished completely.

Thus, these Predators were classified into Codes. The codes were given after assessing their behaviour, their dominance, their subconscious, their traits, their genetics, their bloodline, their raw senses and the level of active animal side.

They are:-

1) GOLD : The hybrids who are completely compatible with human form of customs. Predator hybrids who are perfect slaves. They only exist to serve. The conditioning meshes with their personality in a way that their consciousness is oriented in that manner. They will only do what is instructed of them. Freedom not a concept for them. Simple in mind, these hybrids will be happy to obey and exist to be owned. Can be any species, Predator or Domestic.

Threat level : Zero.

Base Personality : Submissive, scared.

Change Of Codes : Never

2) GREEN : These Predator Hybrids are also considered as perfect slaves. Obedient to the owners, they live to serve and find their worth, their place in the position they believe they are in. conditioning completely meshes with their personality as it completely erodes away any dominant trait the hybrid may have had the potential for. However, the emotions they feel can be different. They feel the emotions of unhappiness and pain. Still, they find security in their subjugation even while experiencing sorrow and dejection at the treatment they are subjected to. This makes them the Code of Hybrids which are the most desired and requested. Freedom a frightening concept for them. Simple in mind, still happy to obey. Can be any species, Predator or Domestic.

Threat level : Zero

Base Personality : Submissive, scared.

Change of Codes : May change to Code Gold

3) CORAL : Hybrids with unmeshed Conditioning. These Predators have unsteady compulsion resulting in bouts of unwanted behaviour. Need to be consistently subjugated and trained to maintain the desired traits. Have no compulsion to obey but do so due to the constant commands. If unattended for long period, may break conditioning to revert back into the dominant tendencies. Kept submissive successfully. May have to use Collar couple of times a week. Trigger word not needed. Loyal to few. Observant with natural instincts more than intelligence. Can be any species, Predator or Domestic.

Threat level : Minimum to Moderate (If badly triggered.)

Base Personality : Dominant but Suppressed

Change of Codes : May change to Code Blue, Never lower

4) BLUE : Hybrids with moderate unmeshed Conditioning. These hybrids have Unsteady Compulsion to the degree that it causes them to act out, protest or try to break free. Have no compulsion to obey but do so as a necessity. Need to be constantly subjugated and trained to maintain the conditioning. Desired traits of a slave never truly present. Cannot be completely conditioned no matter how intense period of training is given. If unattended for moderate period, may revert back to dominant tendencies. Kept submissive with difficulty. Usage of Collar frequently a necessity. Trigger word used a couple of times. Loyal to few. Observant with natural instincts and moderate intelligence. Can be any Predator species.

Threat level : Moderate

Base Personality : Dominant but Suppressed

Change of Codes : Never

5) SILVER : Hybrids with Broken Conditioning. These hybrids never have steady conditioning at all. Keenly intelligent, these hybrids analyse any given situation and adapt to in in moments. They act according to what is demanded and camouflage their intent and personality. Obey as a show, which never confirms if they are ever truly conditioned at all. IQ level more than that of an average human, they are a master strategist. Balanced in their attacks, they combine their natural perceptive observation based on their instincts with cold logic of a human. Not physical in their attacks, intuitive games their specialty. Cannot be kept submissive but act as one, making it impossible for them to be caught. Due to their camouflage, rarely collar or trigger word used. But needed. Extremely loyal to few. Can be any Predator any species.

Threat level : High

Base Personality : Dominant and hidden

Can co-habit with Codes Silver, Black and Red. Tend to kill other Codes if bothered. Complete Predators. Not deterred by Collar or Trigger word. Have capability to overcome Trigger Words. Can be any Predator Species.

Threat level : Lethal. Terminated at the time of Identification with documented evidence.

Base Personality : Dominant

Change of Codes : Never

7) RED : Second of the two most Dangerous Codes to exist. Hybrids with utterly broken or destroyed Conditioning. If conditioned since birth, capable of breaking conditioning completely in a short amount of time. Extremely cunning and Manipulative.

Can be any Predator Species.

Threat level : Lethal. Terminated at the time of Identification with documented evidence.

Base Personality : Dominant

8) UNCLASSIFIED : No documented information known. Observations show highly dangerous beings, lethal in accuracy of its kills. Suspected to be the evolved form of hybrid, utterly savage and vicious. Uncontrollable. Untamable. Beyond intelligent. Frighteningly ferocious. Completely inhumane. Unnatural strength. Extremely calm and brutally violent. Tendency towards blood lust. Remorselessly cruel. Extremely hostile. Suspected to be more unnatural than the animal breed.

All observations made from 2 hybrids in 25 hours. Mostly assumed.

Threat level : Their Existence Completely Incompatible with Human life. Terminate on Identification

Base Personality : Assumed to be Dominant

Change of Codes : Unknown

Hybrids can only be sold up to the level of Code Silver, beyond which Code, they need to be terminated on identification by the seller. If a Code Red or Black hybrid is sold by a seller, knowing their status, that seller will be charged as conspiracy to Murder and sentenced to prison.

If however, a Code Red or Black hybrid is already owned or bought, actions by the law can only be taken at the request of the owner.

If a hybrid is identified as Unclassified, the hybrid is to be immediately killed.
