Institutionals

The Institutionals are a "human" race currently inhabiting Earth.

Appearance
Institutionals have pure white skin and are unable to have freckles. They typically have dark brown hair, but hybrids like Henry Horus has black hair and freckles. They are a strange looking race of people that were first believed to be a mutation of the Asian or Caucasian race. They also have extended canines that are used to spit venom.

History
The truth about Institutionals is that they were actually created decades ago from the base of human souls to reduce overpopulation by eating humans. They have pure white skin and dark brown hair due to a genetic mutation, as they were supposed to look like humans to stay inconspicuous. The Institutionals were supposed to act normal at day and strike at night. The reason why they are able to spit venom was so they could slow down/stabilize their target. Any Institutional without a human soul was an empty vessel and considered useless, as there were many discarded Institutional vessels during their testing stages. There have been experiments when their creators have tried to fill the vessels with souls of other creatures, but all of those experiments failed and instead forced the vessels into savage and uncontrollable states. They were said by Raven that they aren't humans, but deep inside they are humans due to their souls.

The reason why Institutionals were created to reduce overpopulation instead of the usual (ex: killing, purposely releasing deadly diseases to create a pandemic) was because it would kill more humans because the humans weren't aware of what was happening to others.

It was also believed that their bodies are robot bodies but were powered by human souls instead of electricity, but this only partially true. Their bodies are constructed by an extremely complex material that allows them to reproduce, but if their skin is torn apart a powerful metal exoskeleton is revealed. Under that exoskeleton lies a small capsule that contains a human skull that looks somewhat like a glowing white flame.

So far the successful Institutionals have eaten a quarter of Earth's population. Raegan announced a possible short manga dedicated to Louis's strong instincts to eat humans. Unlike other Institutionals, Louis, Raven, and Henry, are able to control their instincts to eat other humans. However, Henry is an exception because he is only half Institutional.
