Special Births are those, as the Rin would put it, touched by the Gods themselves and gifted some form of mutation, power, or gene that grants them a ability of some sort generally highly sought after by the state. It is for this reason that those of Special Births are taken by the state without exception to be either trained or simply monitored (for the more dangerous and uncontrollable powers).

Those that are trained become all sorts of roles from battle field psychics, visionaries, oracles, and many other roles or usually spiritual nature. Generally in a social structure they are a outcast class, albeit a respected one, who are treated with respect, but also fear. Most citizens and nobles alike would rather stay out of the way of Psychics entirely.

Now for the common types of genes and affects:

- Reicio Gene is the most common of all and it grants fore sight and clarity to those who are born with it. Common examples of those born with the Reicio Gene are: Visionaries, Seers, and Navigators

- Impetu Gene is a rarer Gene that gifts it's users with pure power gifted from the void itself. These powers tend to manifest themselves into psychic blasts, lightning, and other powerful forms of energy. Generally those with this Gene have to be trained for decades before they can use any of these powers.

- Oculus Gene is one of the rarest Genes that allows it's user to see either paths a individual has walked (To them a line/trail of bright color) or one can see the inner energy of a individual and is thus able to pick out who is psychic and who is not. They are commonly used to track down individuals across massive distances or to find new Psychics.

- Inanis Gene is the rarest Gene of them all it is said only 1 in every 100,000 will have this gene. This Gene makes the individual have no presence in the void and thus, by Rin belief, no soul. It is because of this it actually 'hurts' Psychics that are near Inanis and even dampens their powers. It is because of this that Inanis are both called Blanks/Soulless and are used as witch hunters and assassins.
