The Pelted are races created by human scientists blending animal DNA with their own genome to create sentient human-animal hybrids. Following their exodus from Earth, they went on to form the Alliance, later joined by both Earth and the Eldritch.
The core races of the Alliance are truly races: they can interbreed. In fact, the major races were created by selective breeding during the Exodus, and helped create the cultural differences that can be seen now in the different races.
History
The Races of the Pelted
First Generation. These were engineered by humans on Earth.
Second Generation. These were segregated into cultural groups during the Exodus.
Third Generation. These were engineered by the Pelted themselves.
Physiognomy
Note:
- Four Digits: claws
- Five Digits: nails
Apparently there is a 'claw bed type 2' which gives one to wonder. [1] I'm going to guess that one is semi-retractable and the other is fully-retractable; since Kellen has the Type 2, I should look through that story to see if there's any reference to his hands and decide based on that.
Faces
- Stratum 1
- 5+ animal teeth
- more likely to have manes than hair
- ears usually set back from face
- usually born with bifurcated lips
- Stratum 2
- 3-4 animal teeth
- blunted faces
- still more likely to have manes, but first eyebrows start showing
- ears still set back from face
- Stratum 3
- 1-2 animal teeth
- fur is finer and shorter: hair is more hair-like and less mane-like
- eyebrows common
- ears closer to face
- Stratum 4
- no animal teeth
- Type A: no fur at all
- Type B: Some very fine fur
- Hair is finer, like human hair
- ears close to face
Bodies
For the digitigrade species. These are also known as primary load-bearing member muscular (as opposed to the plantigrade stance, 'primary load-bearing member skeletal')
- Nominal Body Type A (short, muscled)
Attenuated
70% more prone to posture and bone problems than the nominal body types [2]
- Attenuated Body Type A (tall, muscled/dense)
- Attenuated Body Type B (tall, rangy/thin/willowy) (rarest) [3]
