Lumbars

OVERVIEW

Lumbars are the lowest cast in the Whiteout Cast System used in Whiteout and later in The Neckhome. Lumbars can only live in the "Outskirits". If two Lumbars make a child they can eighter give it to the Council, the child then will be eighter made a solider or a casual Throracic and given to a Thoracic family, or they can keep it, but if they do, the child will never get a chance for a brighter future, because if parents keep it the child automatically becomes a Lumbar. The Council makes criminals Lumbars very often, unless an individual is very dangerous, then they're thrown into jail. The new Lumbar is then taken to the Outskirits by the soliders and left there, after they make sure that the Lumbar won't escape.

LAW IN THE OUTSKIRITS

No one officially rules the Outskirits. Law is non-existant there, so being murdered casually on the street, or getting robbed is 100% legal, that's why many criminals commit suicide before being caught by the guards after commiting a crime, just so they don't have to experience this hell. Sometimes some gangs or mafias take control over the Outskirits, but if they try to start a revolution against the rest of the long necks, the leaders are arrested and put in secret jails that only the Council and around 100 soliders know the locations of. Same thing happens to those who try to escape the Outskirits and to terrorize the Throrarics and Cervicals alone, Ash Stinton is a good example of this. Being made a Lumbar is considered by some the worst judgement possible, getting sent to serial killers, psychopats, sadists and all the other deviants when they can do anything they want to you is a nightmare of every pickpocket.

WHERE DOES THIS ALL HAPPEN?

The Outskirits that existed in Whiteout were known as Hellholes, there was a law that stated that there should be at least one, massive Hellhole in every region controlled by the Whiteout Council. The Hellholes had to be at least 10km wide, 100km wide at best.

The Neckhome Outskirits on the other hand were like a big sewer under the Neckhome itself. It was a 100km circle inhabitated by 25000 registred citizens, but the unofficial sources state that there was at least two times more people, with the average of 500 people per kilometer. After the Fall of the Neckhome most Lumbars died in the explosions and when the entire city collapsed, smashing the Outskirits. These who survived tried to escape, but were mostly caught by short neck soliders.

TRIVIA

-Master Somerset Mimic from the Neck Council was born in a Lumbar family, but his hard work lead him to become a part of the highest cast.

-All Lumbars need to wear special jackets with their crimes written on them, so the soliders that patrol the area can assess the situation properly when a Lumbar tries to fight them.

-Only a member of the council can take away the Lumbar title and give someone the Throracic title instead, and a criminal really needs to show their skills and righteousness of heart for the council to do that.

-Dangerous criminals that know each other are always put into diffrent elite prisons, such as Ash Stinton and Jax Conolly, two arguably most dangerous criminals the Neckhome has seen.
