Editing Crossed

The wide category known as '''Crossed''', contracted from '''Crossroads people''' are the humans and human-adjacent things that live in the [[crossroads]] realms.<ref name=pd>The dynamics and forces that can happen within a Crossroads are too numerous to name, so it’s necessary to generalize: when Others appear, it will be a blend, with a possibility of intermixing or bleed-over, such as a withered Faerie with empty eye sockets, glowing Echo eyes within the sockets, or an Abyss-laced goblin.  When humans or other visceral Others settle for the long term in a Crossroads, they are often very much subject to the influences of the adjacent realms, and will take on a unique flavor and quality depending on the outside energies.  In a Crossroads, the common population may be giants, have animal heads, or be gray skinned and mute, with changes depending on the influences.<br>[...]<br>'''Fitting In:'''[...]Finally, the Crossed tend to have omnipresent features or odd characteristics that require effort to hide, and have only five to fifteen percent who could move effortlessly into a human city and adapt there if they so desired. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LZFjFfwxLK1UWS59EY5js8ORYAlQLvLzBmkcqdpTp_0 PACT DICE]</ref>
