Races of the Future (Technology) « Thread Started on Oct 4, 2007, 1:41pm »
Ahhh the future. A wonderful, magical time space, in which there are many, many derivative races. These derivative races however, are all artificially created.
BIOLOGICAL RACES Humans are the only existing, biologically natural race that exists in the Future.
Humans Humans are predominant throughout all three time eras. They come in all shapes and all sizes, with different coloured skin, eyes and hair depending on the regions they live in (climate and so on). They mature at roughly 18, and can live to be around 80 years of age. Humans can range from passive aggressive to aggressive conquerers by nature, they are not rapid healers and excessive blood loss, starvation, disease, old age or a wound to their internal organs can be fatal.
Humans are omnivorous. Their weaponry ranges from all sword types, to most types of bow, flail, spear/quarterstaff. They are able to use heavy weapons, though most prefer not to. With the introduction of technology, humans are using increasing forms of weaponry, mainly guns and ammunition, as weaponry, instead of the old forms of weapons. (Lazer-influenced guns are not apart of the future, they were scrapped after too many malfunctioning prototypes)
Humans are born with an element within them as per the premise of this game, but cannot learn any other type of magic outside of this. Travel is by foot, horse, automobile (car, bike, train, bus, truck, tram, trolley etc etc etc ad infinitum), or ship (ie, starship, spaceship, cargoship etc etc ad infinitum)
GENETICALLY ENGINEERED RACES These species are all derivatives of the human race. The basics, and many prototypes of these species, were all created in the Saraba Laboratory, in a town called Zetsu, a few hundred kilo metres south of Nascent. Sadly, about 50 years ago, there was a malfunction in Saraba Laboratory, causing a rippling Kamikaze effect that destroyed the city with it. Many of the experiments could not be located within the ruins, it is assumed that they escaped before the town imploded.
Anthropomorphic These are a derivative race of the Mortuus, but have since earnt themselves a separate title when they began to breed amongst themselves. Anthropomorphic are half human, half animal based creatures. Examples of this are like the werewolf, or the werecat. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours as per humans, though differ greatly as they carry with them the look of the animal there DNA has been spliced with. They are rapid growing creatures, reaching maturity at about age 10-12, pending what type of animal is in their blood, and can have a life span from 60-120 years (pending animal blood again).
They were modified to be fertile, though only the common animal species will breed. No two different Anthropomorphics can mate and breed (ie, half snake, half Dingo) as it would be like trying to make two different animal species together. The common animal breeds that mate and reproduce and can be found outside of laboratories are: cat, wolf, eagle (though offspring will NOT have wings), lizard, horse (no four legged centaur like offspring). All other types of Anthropomorphic are created in the laboratory.
Anthropomorphic nature is pending the type of animal that the human DNA is spliced to. They do not usually use weapons, most preferring to live a lifestyle that is similar to the animal within them (The ones that are free, anyway).
Anthropomorphics CAN breed with humans, though the animal DNA is less apparent in the offspring. They are not able to use their elemental magic.
Vampires Vampires feed on the blood of humans to stay alive. Vampires are build in the same way as a human, and are almost inconspicuous within the human population.
Demons Demons are genetically engineered. They work on the basis of the humans for age, and weaponry. Their appearance can be quite different to a humans, as it is considered pretty, almost elven looking, and can be fined boned, tall and delicate.
Demons are able to breed with humans, though the resulting offspring is element neutral and almost always has no power.
Mortuus terminus These were once regular men and women now changed to a different species class. Experimented on from as early as the womb their bodies were injected with a mix of chemicals that forced the genetic code to change.
These created mutants have strong element powers but can not learn more than one element. Should they learn another their body will mutate to follow the patterns of that element and they will be unable to use any but that new element. It must also be introduced to their body. Their physical appearances will show what element they ie. a person with fire abilities would have flaming red hair.
They are usually taller, stronger... better than average humans. Most of them are gifted with natural speed. The draw back of this race comes in reproduction. Infants do not have great chances as with the extra chromosomes it takes a longer gestation period to develop but the female bodies have not yet adapted fully so their will often be premature births. Every year only about nine infants of this race make it past age five.
Somnus These are humans that have been cryogenically frozen in the 'present' age. Think Futurama, or Austin Powers: the Spy who Shagged Me, if you're not sure what cryogenics are. These people tried to escape sickness or were just bored with life. Now in this technologically advanced age special melt down units are used to raise them from their icy sleep.
Unfortunately there have been some side effects and most awaken with mental damage leaving them unable to function properly in normal society. They are shunned and seen as waste of space. Many don't live more than a few days outside of protection groups and housings. These people while asleep also experienced genetic mutations that has made them faster and a tad stronger than average humans. They have immune systems that make it an impossibility for any sickness to affect them but are still for the most part human. They tend to live longer than the average human. The oldest recorded was three hundred years old but seemed no older than twenty physical. Its as if they remain the age they were when put into cryogenic sleep.
Not one has been discovered to be without some sort of mental affliction whether it be something minor like mild amnesia all the way up to severe schizophrenia. They have element abilities but can not learn how to use them and do not know how to control them. Their minds are too damaged to do so. They are not allowed to have children, most are expected to take drugs that will chemically castrate/ cause them to be barren. They are too unstable to create life.
Androids Artificial forms of life. They can appear as anything, and are often built with firearms under the skin of their arms.
Androids have no elemental quality and they cannot breed with humans (.....they're robots.)
