Bloodlines refer to a character's familial ancestry, which can be chosen by the player during the character creation process. Each playable empire faction offers three distinct bloodlines. In terms of gameplay, bloodlines affect character appearance only, as all new characters begin with identical statistics. It is worth noting that bloodlines represent only a small portion of the many ethnicities present in New Eden.
