So, I've been struggling with how to handle the Centimani for a while, and I was contemplating jettisoning them entirely. But I had an idea from another project I was working on. Dark Eras 2 made me think of the idea of future or alternate history Dark Eras, and I came up with a retro-futuristic one for Promethean based on classic scifi, The Protomen, and Janelle Monae. In it, the Centimani were an underground resistance movement of Prometheans and alchemists who helped those Prometheans who didn't want to submit to government-mandated Pilgrimages.
So I'm considering turning the Centimani from a Refinement to the closest thing that the Created have to a society. The Centimani are a scattered network of Created and alchemists. Their numbers are very low, given the low numbers of the Created. They have no settlements- instead, one or a few Created and often several alchemists operate various way stations and laboratories connected to the loose Centimani network. The Centimani are more of an ideal than an organization, and still a sort of resistance movement. The Created are a disparate bunch, but the Centimani ideal is what allows them to come together. Of the Prometheans who identify as Centimani, a few are ambitious enough to dream or greater power or influence. Some want to increase their numbers through mass creation- this is the greatest source of conflict within the Promethean "community", though it's more than this conflict inevitably manifests in any gathering of Prometheans.
