Appearance and Physiology

Appearance

Physically, the Asanii are some of the most human-looking of the races. They tend toward height—over 5’7” is common—and have five fingers and toes with nails. Their faces are almost always either human-flat or at most demi-muzzled, and most of them don’t even have particularly pointed canine teeth. They stand plantigrade, like humans, and may or may not have fur at all, though all of them have feline ears and tails. Asanii are frequently born without fur (though their skins often still have the coloration of their animal ancestors). Some can even be mistaken for human if their ears are hidden. Asanii are either plain-coated or have domestic cat markings; in the taller races, the wild cat markings are the province of the Harat-Shar.^[1]0

Physiology

Asanii have more difficulty reproducing than most races, but unlike their cousins the Tam-illee, they are more willing to take advantage of Alliance technology to resolve this.

Society

Asanii are found in every field and are ubiquitous throughout the Alliance, doing whatever jobs need doing and fitting in wherever they need to fit in. Something about their global culture has made it easy for them to “go with the flow” of wherever they end up, and being an Asanii gives an individual an unparalleled amount of freedom from expectations, both from other members of the race and from the Alliance at large.

Generally, the Asanii want to remember how they were created and honor that history, rather than focus on the elements of that history such as their initial enslavement. They are highly adaptable and are found everywhere in the Alliance, in all types of environments and jobs.

Stereotypes

The Asanii are the ultimate shapechangers. They adapt well to any environment they’re put in, and are eclectic in interests and abilities.
