The Mikaeanids are a collection of species created by a single individual using a single set of genetic code, most of it largely derived from his own genetic information. On paper, due to their shared genetic heritage, all Mikaeanids are fully capable of interbreeding with one another, though this is heavily-reliant upon their methods of reproduction, as not all Mikaeanids are capable of bearing offspring internally. Some races such as the True Mikaeans and the Hilam reproduce asexually, with the form utilizing a single male to spawn all other members of the population, while individual members of the latter spawn offspring independently of one another. Regardless of their reproductive methods, all Mikaeans such a single set of traits that make them more similar than different. They all share a mimicry of their creator's personality and traits, and are blindly loyal to the ideals championed by their father. They share the same language, and likewise share the same faith with only minor variations depending on the particular characteristics of each Mikaeanid race.

Marriage
The concept of interracial marriage takes on a different meaning for the Mikaeanids, varying wildly in definition from that humanity is most accustomed. In the eyes of the average Mikaeanid, the various races of the species are not "distinct", but all completely the same as they cannot differentiate one race from the other as a human would. For example, to a Mikaeanid, a dark-skinned and black-haired True Mikaean and a blue-coated canine Azurigu appear to be exactly the same, with only "visual differences" separating the two. Indeed, the differences between Mikaeanids to Mikaeanids appear to only be skin-deep, even though the biology of any two races could vary drastically, such as the aquatic Hilam from the insectoid Ailopin.
