(Neebu &) & Neebu --Planet of Origin:: Nithroy -- a rather large planet, made of one extremely large continent that takes up 80% of its mass. It appears aliens did build the pyramids. All those gods you see pictures of in the hieroglyphs--well those are pictures of the Neebu. Each and everyone is the anthropomorphic version of some creature--usually one of desert, or African origins. There are also a few mystical creatures (such as griffins and Sphinxes). The creatures are not only of desert origins. There are tigers, bears, many different birds, lions, and some rain-forest animals. They are unused to earth's humidity and often stay indoors to avoid the unpleasant air. Their ships resemble moving pyramids, and are powered by a magic like energy called Ether, which is harnessed from crystals that litter their landscapes. When it comes to the general species, Neebu are very easily offended. They are usually considered hot-headed. - Four fingers and toes on each appendage, one a thumb.
Depending on their species they can have claws, feathery-fingers, or even webbed hands.
- The height varies from 4'10 for the smaller ones, to well over 7 feet for some of the larger species [elephants, and giraffes.]
- The color of their fur or scales is not limited to Earth's colors. It can range from electric blue to pure white with hot-pink streaks.
- All bipeds
- Possess slitted eyes. These eyes come in all colors of the rainbow.
- Dress brightly.
- Value gold.
- They have any and all abilities related to the species they are anthro-versions of.
(Example: Griffins/hawks can fly and have excellent eyesights, hippo-ones can hold their breath for long periods, and snakes have venom)
- The only way to tell the difference between males and females is to listen to their voices. Unless of course, you happen to have permission to go looking under their fur/skin/scales for breasts.
Some Culture:- Usually find breeding with humans offensive.
- The warm-blooded Neebu have a grand dislike of the cool blooded ones.
- Strength and power are valued above all else, to be cowardly is to be disgraced.
- Almost all their food is spicy.
- The Neebu's religion is a stew of various folktales, all of which worship the creature they themselves take after. Now though, many have adapted Christianity--finding it less complicated.
- One night a year, all who have recently graduated from the Neebu schooling system are forced to undergo a trial. They have to spend 3 days in the harsh wilderness, with no supplies. It is more a test of courage than anything, parents normally wait nearby, and the children are well protected.
- They usually live to be about 400 years old.
- 452 days in their year. They revolve around their blue sun once every 452 days.
- Their buildings are made out of cement like sand--their technology usually helps them find water. The only thing they use for entertainment is this game called Halo-ball ( Much like soccer, except with heavy winds and various elemental attacks.)

(Vishnu &) & Vishnu --Planet of Origin:: [KAUU] Originally Kauu was covered in plains, but now cities of bright white crystals climb to the sky. A few of the purple-grassed plains are still untouched, although this is usually for nostalgic purposes. Unlike Earth, due to most energy being psychic and magic, there is very little pollution. The planet possess one large continent which is surrounded by emerald colored waters. The planet is about half the size of earth, with less gravity. Vishnu are considered the most technologically advanced of all the aliens. They often scoff at the others , considering them primitive. Their technology makes other races resemble apes. For the most part they resemble humans, except for being a bit taller [6"8 - 7"9 on average] and having a few extra limbs. They also have psychic powers. - They have two pairs of arms, where we have one. These arms are very lanky, with long delicate fingers. The second pair is controlled seperately from the first pair.
- Their skin is a mint green color.
- Their ears are long, elongated, and slightly pointed.
- Vishnu have large slanted eyes, usually in a shade of blue or purple. The pupil is nothing more than a slit. Occasionally their eyes are black, yellow, or red.

- Men and women have no discernible differences, except in body shape and voice pitch.
- Most Vishnu wear their hair short.
- A large brightly colored gem sits in the middle of their foreheads upon birth. This gem amplifies their brain-waves and allows them to use their psychic powers. Depending on one’s station in life more of these gems can be grafted on.
- Vishnu have psychic powers. They can read snippets of thoughts, sometimes feel emotions, communicate with telepathy, or use telekinesis. ( You can only have one or two of these-- it varies from child to child). Through intense training however, years upon years, you can learn how to utilize another skill.
- Vishnu can block another from reading their mind, unless encountering a stronger foe, and can teach others to as well. However, they rarely teach a non-Vishnu this task.
Some Culture:- They live on a merit system--your job // education // IQ determines your station in life, even where you live.
- Seem to lack religion.
- Value intellect.
- Do not possess transportation vehicles, they prefer to walk, or teleport.
- They dislike breeding with other species.
- Live around 600 years on average.

( Choroid & ) & Choroid --Planet of Origin:: Aqueli ( a planet made up of 90% water--almost solely tropical. A few islands exist made from volcanic rock and a thin layer of dirt. ) The Choroid is an aquatic race, that makes its entire living below and right on top of the water. When on Earth they are forced to use breathing apparautus, due to their inability to deal with the lack of constant humidity. This apparatus is shaped like a harmonica, and has a semi-circular plastic mask wrapped behind it. If the technology involves water it was probably their invention. Their ships, and all other manners of transportation,(things resembling jetskis) are hydro-powered. They are considered the most peaceful of the six species who currently are in the council. - Closely resemble humans -- average height : 4'9 -5'5"
- Their skin is almost bone white, occasionally tinted with blue or green.
- Usually live around 400 years.
- They each have six , small-clawed , finger-like extensions on their hands and feet--transluscent, blue tinted webbing extends between every finger and toe.
- When they blush, their pale skin blushes powder blue.
- A thin line of gills runs down their neck. These give them the ability to breathe underwater.
- Coral-like extensions grow from their ears, and occasionally may resemble fins.
- A long whip like tail extends from their back ends, ends in a frilly-fan like protusion and pushes them through the water.
- Their skin is usually cool and slightly slippery. In bright light, splotches of iridescent scales about their torsos are obvious.
- Spine protusions of pastel bone jut from their backs and jut out in the shape of diagonal-upside down L's.
- Their hair is pastel - either dull yellow, light pink, powder blue, white, or mint green.
- Females are different from males in the same way humans are, they have curves. They tend to be smaller, grow their hair longer, and have shorter tails as well.
- Some Offensive Terms given to these creatures: Guppies, Water-skippers, Puddle-fucks
Some Culture:- Their music is that of the sea, calming wave like sounds mixed with the quiet undertone of instruments.
- At the age of 14 all boys and girls are forced to undertake a trial known as "Coral Retrieval." They go into the deep water of the open ocean and must retrieve a single piece of coral. Failure means you must try again. Only after you succeed are you allowed to swim on your own.
- The Choroid religion (main one) worships a large Angler fish by the name of "Angu". It is believed that their planet dangles on the edge of his head-stalk.
- In the Choroid culture it is rude to fight over silly things. To them family and unity are more important than squabbling.
- Choroid MEN are the one who give birth much like in seahorses.
- Their most valued export to earth is an unrustable metal by the name of Wostile.

(& Trasi ) & Trasi --Planet of Origin:: Planet 3AX5 -- this planet is literally a junkyard. Builidngs built from space trash raise up from the muddy ground. The land’s crops grow in fertilizer. The Trasi are not a race--rather they are the group of “things” that inhabit Trasi. The citizens of this place are the robotic //android // failed experiments of all the other planets. Broken house-robots, malfunctioned AI weapons, genetic experiments gone wrong, you get the picture. Even though they were considered trash those who were able to function built their own society, and eventually rose to become a superpower. They now make a living off of collecting the other planets' trash, repairing it, and selling it. - With these guys you have free reign. As long as you can explain their origins and why they were tossed away.
- For the most part they are robotic in nature.
- Almost always originated in the more advanced planets.
Some Culture- Trasi value ingenuity above all else.
- They often hoard trash.
- Children [when born or dropped off] very rarely live past the age of ten. Many trash-slides claim their lives.
- Compared to the other societies the Trasi are very suspicious -- and not a planet for tourists.

(Sallons'd &) & Sallons'd --Planet of Origin:: Heritite - The planet has lavender dirt with bright florescent grass. The plants that dot its surface are very different from trees. Instead they resemble extremely large flowers. Large bird-like creatures fill the sky and the planet is dotted with cliffs - yet one will not see a single bridge. The Sall [which they are commonly called] are an aerial species of extra-terrestial. They live in aerial cities - which are kept there by large helium sacs. The buildings are all extremely straight edged and built in varying shades of purple. Daylight only lasts four hours a day, and during the dark hours the sky is filled with bright florescent colors. - Closely resemble humans -- average height : 4'9 -5'9"
- The entire species are extremely tan -- their skin bordering on brown. Large bands of phosphorescent skin line their bodies. The colors range from neon green to bright yellow.
- Live around 200 years.
- Normal number of fingers and toes.
- Along their bodies, usually near joints, are large bladder like extensions. These drain helium from the air and allow them to float. They also serve as cushions during collisions.
- Their ears are long and pointed. They usually point toward the ground, but can also swivel.
- Females are born with small pair of bat-like wings.
- Have jaws filled with sharp teeth, but they happen to be mostly vegetarians. The jaws are made to tear the rough skins of their planet's vegatation.
- The species can take steps up to a yard long due to their light bodies.
- They have unusually large pupils, and their eyes glow in the dark. It makes it easier for them to see in the dark skies of the homeland.
- Due to the constant use of helium, they have extremely high-pitched voices.
- Due to the differences in light on Earth and their home planet they often need to wear glasses when they arrive.
- This species is stereo-typed as being shy.
Some Culture:- Sall worship the night.
- They believe 13 to be an extremely lucky number.
- Their favorite games usually involve high-speed races through dangerous terrain at heights up to 20,000 feet.
- Music to them is a new idea.
- They fly in disc-like ships which are covered in florescent paint.
- They utterly despise grey, white, and black.
- Sall have a long standing rivalry with the Neebu.

THE RAGTAG MEDLEY
--Now. You are not only limited to those above, but those are what I wish to see the most of. We can also have inhabitants of the following species:
VAMPIRES + Not Twilight discoballs. If you want to play one of those horrid mockeries, go on another forum. These are deadly creatures who think of human as packbeasts. NO VEGETARIANS. They are only hurt by religious artifacts they believe in and can't walk in the daytime.
+ Vampires stemmed from a radioactive meteor that hit a small, sparsely inhabited planet many eons ago. The radioactivity mutated the inhabitants, changing them into what we know as vampires. A spaceship crashlanded there a few years later and the affliction was spread, changing the species into vampires themselves. It is uncurable, even with Vishnu technology, and those afflicted are sent [or born, due to the virus passing through families] to a few designated planets in the galaxy.
+ Come from all advancement levels. Some are medieval and some have high-leveled technology.
+ Closely monitored.
+ Wood is a rare material in Touchdown, and an expensive commodity. If accosted by a vampire pray that you happen to be by an antique shop.
WEREBEASTS + Treated like animals on Earth + The results of Neebu genetic mutations and a few poorly done animal experiments. The original multiplied and the gene has migrated into the DNA of other species.
HYBRIDS Another result of Neebu's attempt to make the perfect creatures. + Spider people: upper body of a person, lower body of a spider. + Satyrs, Centaurs Etc.
GIANT BUGS [The tourists from planets with these kind of inhabitants--talking beetles, and lobsters are limited. They are often refused entrance due to cultural differences, or the fact that their appearance causes panic].

( Echani & ) & Echani--Planet of Origin: Cazna- A planet stuck in eternal winter. The Echani live in large underground settlements, and the city is divided by age and prestige. (EG, the Echani elders live deeper underground than the younger- closer to the Gaia) Echani, while traditionally warriors and guardians who live by strict codes and ethics, have turned in their culture - one that was shunned by the elders of their community for centuries. They are still considered to be one of the most culturally defined species, but their elders suggest otherwise. The elders commonly call the race unfaithful. The Echani are always in sync with the environment around them and find it very easy to just tap into an energy that they call the Gaia. Doing this, they may draw upon skills, energy and wisdom - making them worthy opponents in a fight. -There is not much difference between male and female except that the males are slightly more dominant and are more protective of the race. Female Echani make it their duty to guard individual members and make better bodyguards than soldiers. Because of their sensitivity to their surroundings, they find it very hard to work in large groups of other species. This overloads their brains. - All members of the Echani race look more or less the same - pale, white skin that seems to glow in the dark with pupil/iris-less eyes that vary in colour depending on mood, short snow white hair that is always cropped short (it is disrespectful in Echani culture to have long hair), and considerably beautiful features, though none of them acknowledge their natural beauty or try to enhance it.
- Value honour, pride, and wisdom
- Are known to live to up to 600 years
- They have a human-like frame, and usually grow to about eight feet in height
- They usually have one or two glowing markings on their faces, arms, or back. They vary in color, shape and size.
Some Culture :- Once you turn fifty years of age, you are considered a young adult. You would undergo a series of tests- commonly known to other species as the ‘Trials of Echani’. If you fail the trials you are exiled from the race- a punishment that most Echani fear more then death.
- As a child in the community you will not know your birth parents - you will be sent to live with a stranger and they will become your master until the Trials. They will teach you everything you need to know to pass.
- Attachment of any kind is prohibited in the Echani world- it is a weakness and it has the potential to hurt those around you without meaning to. Therefore, it is forbidden to publicly show love or compassion.
- An Echani will not own anything. Echani have no possessions apart from one weapon of their choice/design/making that they create from relative scratch in their Trials.
- It is considered an unforgivable sin to mate with anything outside the Echani race. One is not allowed to sully the name of GAIA.
(Kudos goes to Proxy for this)

(Akiari &) & Akiari--Planet of Origin:Carsen 4. The planet is a multi-sectioned place that has quadrants of forest, desert, iceland, ocean, barren, and volcanic waste. It looks like a patchwork quilt from above. - The Akiari are an elemental race. Each indivual is comprised of water, ice, snow, magma, fire, rock, dust, tornadoes, fog, leaves and branches, wood, or metal.
- Each species has some control over a base element:water, wind, fire, or earth
The more solid elements have a husky stature, while the more amorphous are leaner. There is no build difference in males and females.
- Akiari can live up to be 60 centuries old
- Akiari have no facial features so they communicate by a sonar/telepathy mix, and they become aware of surroundings by the same process.
- All Akiari on a different planet wears a containment suit that hold in their substance, allow them to experience the 5 senses, allowing them to speak, and allowing them to hide their Akiari nature to other races.
- Akiari aren't born the normal way. Every few years, one will come out of an element, and start life on Carsen 4, although some have been reported of being born on Earth...
- If you look at an Akiari's coloring, you can tell if they are good or bad. The evil Akiari have a much more darker, rotten look than those that want to help.
Culture and behavior- Akiari think themselves superior to most other races. As a consequence, some Akiari seek to help out the unfortunates, and help them achieve their perfect status; while others seek to keep their superiority and ruin the lives of the other races.
- Their religion is that the spirit of their planet, Titania, is the very nature itself. Titania created each separate 'race' or 'species' of Akiari by taking bits of herself and breathing life in the shells. For this reason they have a deep respect for their planet and despair of the humans.
- They hold a species-wide celebration with a fair or party that lasts half a month, with the remaining month taken up by solitude and contemplation to celebrate Titania.
- Akiari don't take life mates, unless the individuals behavior points in that direction. They can mix with certain species, but the child is usually left to be adopted.

(Mantriani &) & Matriani--Planet of Origin:: [Matridan] Matridan is 93 percent covered in water. The few continents they have are more like large islands. The largest of them is just a little smaller than Australia. These islands are covered in lush rain forests and are crisscrossed by watery canals. Due to the unique composition of the atmosphere the sky is a pale purple, and the oceans reflecting the sky are deep violet. Generally called the Matri or the 'Triani by other extra-terrestrials, they are often seen as a rather old-fashioned race. They are a very nature-bound species preferring to live in homes made of wood, mud, and bark, or tunnels dug into the banks of the canals. They have limited technology, but only because they feel they have no need for it. The small portion they do have though runs on water, due to the abundance of it on their planet.. - Eight limbs, four to walk and swim with, two for manipulating objects. Three joints in all limbs
- Figure looks a bit like a centaur with a long neck.
- Gills on the sides of their necks, for breathing underwater, as well as lungs for breathing air.
- Hands are human in looks, but with webbed, four-joined fingers.
- Two sets of eyelids that close vertically. The secondary set is clear, and is used to see underwater.
- Males have a finned ridge down their spine.
- Long tails with a trident-shaped fin on the end. Males have a poisoned claw on the end.
- Reproduction is similar to plants, with the males releasing pollen from their tails, and the females catching it in a slit on their chest.
- Short rounded muzzle. Sharp teeth in the front, and grinding molars in the back.
- Their skin is smooth and moist. If they get too dry, their skin flakes and cracks.
Some Culture:- Diet consists mostly of fish, but they do enjoy plants and fruit as well. They don't understand the appeal of most human food. Especially gum and rice crispy treats.
- They believe that all living things, animals and plants alike, have a soul. However, that doesn't keep them from eating living things. They believe strongly in the 'circle of life.'
- They extremely dislike planet earth, but feel it is their duty to keep an eye on it. You can sometimes see a group of Triani planting trees, or collecting trash.
- A small band of rebel Triani have made their home on Touchdown and spend their time getting piercings and partying.

( Skassi &) & Skassi --Planet of Origin: Kuass. Kuass is a rather small and barren desert planet, originally serving as a prison for a now-extinct race from another planet. Creatures of that race were dumped unceremoniously onto the dry, harsh planet and left to rot. Instead of dying or suffering terribly on Kuass, they survived and evolved over hundreds of thousands of years and built up an advanced society. All water on the planet is found beneath the surface, and must be dug for. The earth is an unpleasant shade of gray-brown, and most of the planet is sandy or rocky, though there are some muddy spots, and even some rare areas where shrubs and other plants manage to grow. Asides from these spots, there are no plants, and all wildlife is either carnivorous or, curiously enough, capable of photosynthesis. These creatures tend to sleep deeply, buried underground, during the dark and long nights. Cities on Kuass are large, sprawling, and seemingly chaotic with extremely tall buildings of varying sizes and shapes (though most have sharp features and edges) scattered about in a way that appears almost haphazard. Every building and item is made primarily of metal, for Kuass is rich in minerals and ores that can be smelted down, but the buildings are strangely warm to the touch due to artificial heating systems, and the streets are contrastingly rock or dirt. There are no lights in Skassi cities, and since Kuass nights tend to be very long and nearly pitch-black, with daylight lasting only five hours or so each day and being dim as it is, the cities are tough to get around for most sight-dependent species. There isn't a terrible lot of advanced technology on Kuass (most of it is little more than public transportation, some sound/communication systems, and automated machinery in factories, and most Skassi technology has been engineered to produce heat), and what there is that cannot run on its own or without the use of eyes tend to be operated by non-Skassis. The only reason that Skassis have begun to branch out from their home planet and visit other worlds is due to being re-discovered by other races. - Covered in dark, metallic scales that have little sheen to them and don't have much color variation from one Skassi to the next; they tend to be either blue, purple, black, gray, brown, or on very rare occasion a gray-white, though this is exceedingly rare. The only parts of a Skassi's body that are not scaled tend to be their reproductive organs, the lower halves of their faces, their ears (which are, curiously, covered in a coarse fur), and the pads of their hands and feet. Exposed skin is usually either gray, black, or brown, but may occasionally have a more white or purple undertone. Skassis are incapable of growing hair and their skulls are covered in scales as well.
- Have very wide mouths, filled with sharp needle-like teeth (two rows of them). Do not have eyes or noses, and smell with their long, tube-like tongues (which are not forked; they end at tapered, pointed tips) that flicker in and out of their mouths periodically. The tongues are black, as are their gums, though the tips of the tongues tend to fade to a dark blue or purple.
- Due to being blind, Skassis have extremely sharp senses of hearing and smell, and also have heat-sensitive organs in place of where their eyes would be that allow them to at least sense other (warm-blooded) creatures and have an idea of where others are. They also have an underdeveloped sort of method of echolocation, though it isn't very precise, and most Skassis on Earth have managed to figure out that shrieking every few seconds to know where things are makes others shy away from them, so they refrain from using it. To help them avoid colliding with things, they tend to use one set of arms to constantly feel around in front of them, and another set to feel around behind them or to their sides, the third set being used normally.
- Male Skassis grow a pair of sharp, small horns upon their heads. Females grow shorter, stubby ones.
- The reproductive organs of Skassis are similar to those of humans, and male and female Skassis can be distinguished from one-another primarily by comparing these organs (duh) or observing differences in their body sizes and shapes. (Females are smaller and more hunched than males.) Female Skassis do not, however, have breasts, for they don't produce milk for their young. Baby Skassis come out of the womb with teeth developed enough to tear into meat, and stomachs developed enough to digest it, so they just start out eating solid food.
- On that note, Skassis are carnivorous. They live pretty much entirely on meat, and require very little water to survive and function in a healthy manner. Vegetables upset their stomachs.
- Skassis have three pairs of long, skinny arms, with four-fingered hands at the end of each limb, and one pair of even longer and slightly bulkier legs. Their feet are flat and three-toed, and the toes are more like hard, sharp claws than digits. Their fingers are extremely long and slender and taper off to sharpened tips. Their torsos are hunched and tend to be bulky in the chest area to support the extra limbs. Skassis also have long, skinny, scaled, whip-like tails that tend to be about as long as they are tall -- which is, by the way, long for Skassis on average tower over humans at seven to eight-and-a-half feet in height. (Females are usually six to seven feet tall.) Their necks are abnormally long, and their bodies tend to be very slender.
- Skassis are warm-blooded, but have a relatively low body temperature (an average 75.2 degrees Fahrenheit) and don't like hot climates. They also dislike bright lights, because while they're unable to see, they still have blind, small, useless and evolutionarily neglected eyes capable of sensing light, and they are very used to either pitch-black darkness or only faint illumination.
- They have large lungs that are capable of breathing oxygenated air, but - since they don't have noses - they breathe with their mouths.
Some Culture: - Skassis on Kuass only very rarely wear clothing, and even then it's just during the winter months, as Kuass can get very cold and it's practical to cover up then. After all, why wear clothes when it's perfectly warm? On Earth, however, clothes are pretty much required for most humanoid races, and so Skassis reluctantly will wear pants, but not tops. They see no reason to wear tops. Since Skassis are very tall and skinny, most pairs of pants that they get tend to be both too short and too loose, unless tailored to fit.
- Skassis of course do not typically create paintings or sculptures or any forms of art like that, but they do very much enjoy poems or stories told aloud. They also love music, though their music tends to consist only of vocals and perhaps the tap of a drum or a foot to keep a beat. Either way, Skassi music is usually only enjoyed by Skassis due to the high-pitched and wailing sound made by most Skassi vocalists, and it's hard for a non-Skassi to appreciate a myth told by a storyteller from Kuass thanks to the grating, hissing, throaty sound of most Skassi voices. They have very unpleasant accents even when their language is translated by the headsets, hissing their "s"s and saying "ch" sounds with in a harsh, throaty manner.
- Can live up to 300 years.
- Though they aren't religious and most don't worship any deities, Skassis are very superstitious and believe in all manner of beasts and curses that they tend to tell folk stories about. Some religions on Kuass have formed around these beliefs, but are not wide-spread.
- Skassi "families" are unique in that they do not typically consist of two mates and their offspring along with any relatives they may be staying with. Skassis are promiscuous and do not mate for life, nor do they attempt to. A female will seek out a male, they will have sex, she'll have his child, and he'll wander off on his merry way, the whole thing being rather impersonal. Then, when the child has grown to be twenty years old (the age at which Skassis are considered to be matured, though they will not be completely fully-grown until age 35), he or she leaves their mother and heads out into the world. Most Skassis will live in large buildings, called "hessas" in their native tongue, with a good number of other Skassis that may or may not have any relation to them at all. Usually the Skassis living in a hessa will be friends, but not related. Still, they consider those living with them in a hessa to be their family, for they collectively get food for the rest of the hessa and will often have large group meals where stories are told and songs are sung and poems are recited. Skassis in hessas tend to get very close with their hessa buddies. Young Skassis will live with in their mothers' hessas until old enough to find a hessa of their own.
- Skassis are very open about their emotions, opinions, and romances. As a result, some things that Skassis say may be considered rather rude by Earth standards.

(Xeernites &) & Xeernites -- Planet of Origin: Xeerni--This planet is almost entirely covered with vegetation and the bodies of water are quite small. The Xeernites are basically a species of plant like humanoids. - Their skin color ranges in various shades of green or brown/tan. Have you ever picked up a leaf or stem of a flower? Do you realize how there are little stringy things that are pulled snugly together to form the leaf? Well, that's what the skin of a Xeernite is like. The string-like strands are wound up, around stick-like bones, that support the body. Their 'Hair' is actually just skin, grown out. It's usually wound up, like their skin appears to be, but with no support. Their 'hair' ranges in shades of green as their skin does. Sometimes, the person will have light green skin, and then a dark, emerald green grown-out-hair-skin
- This species have lips that are usually a light brown, with a woody looking grain. Not only are their lips brown, but so are their teeth. And the tongue, gum's, etc? Those are a few shades lighter then the skin tone of the creature.
- The limbs on a Xeernite are very willowy, and their figure tends to be slender
- Like plants, Xeernites have cells that produce their own food for the creature. There will be the rare occasions where a Xeernite eats something that wasn't naturally produced, but it usually results in them getting sick.
- Xeernite's height ranges from four to six feet,when fully grown.
- Males and females have few differences--Though all tend to be slender, as mentioned above, their differences in body types are similar to the ones in humans.
- Females have wider hips, and tend to have breasts.
- Males have broader shoulders, their voices tend to be deeper, and they usually are slightly taller then females.
- Eyes have a very large pupil/iris the colors vary.
- Last but not least, the Xeernites regenerate, like Starfish,worms, etc. So, if you cut off a limb(OTHER THAN THE HEAD), it would slowly grow back.
Some Culture- Usually care deeply about the enviorment
- When they turn 25, they are considered young adults.
- At the age of 25, there is also a test. It's basically supposed to tell how 'strong' they are. What happens? The Elders see what happens when the 25-year-old looses a limb, and the less time it takes to grow back, the stronger they are.
- Center of Authority= The Elders.
- Gardening and play fighting with others are the main hobbies of Xeerni children.

Jovians & & Jovians--Planet of Origin:: Jupiter. Though not technically livable, a long time ago a series of colonies were built within it's upper atmosphere by the earth military as a way around experimentation laws. Long since abandoned by the earth, the number of colonies have increased tenfold, and are known as the Jovian Colony Ring. The interior is much like one would expect of any colony, a bizarre mix of simulated earth nature and cold metal tunnels and ports. All have lower than earth gravity due to their distance from the planet's surface. The Jovians, in truth, were once human. They were developed in secrecy by the earth government during the first spread into space as a sort of workforce, with early genetic manipulation and the highly experimental use of nanomachines in the human body. The first of their kind were genetically designed humans, grown, not born. They were quickly 'infected' with the viral strains of nanomachines that had been designed to make them unique to previously existing humans. The result was what are now known as the Jovians, the nanomachines in their bodies directly interface with their nerves and the brain, as well as enabling them to interface with machinery and computer code. This new-found closeness to machines allowed ease of life in the colonies they lived in, and made them excellent programmers, hackers, pilots and any other role involving a machine. After the project was scraped due to 'complications with the Jovians bodies, as well as their unwillingness to co-operate with the military orders given to them. They were banned to the Jupiter colonies, and after several years have become a distinct subspecies from humans. - Very close to human in appearance; differences between males and females are exactly the same; infiltration to human society is not difficult if care is taken.
- Somewhat shorter than humans; average height is between 4'4” and 5'2”
- Hair colour naturally varies between Whites, light blues and greens, to pale lavender. On close inspection it does not appear to be made of the same material human's hair is.
- Skin is somewhat paler than humans as they receive less direct sunlight, black or off brown lines and square panels can be often seen under their skin. These areas are where nanomachines have fused to their nervous system, and areas they can directly connect with machines.
- Physically weaker than humans on average, their bodies are quite fragile and prone to numerous issues. Require regular medication treatments to live their average lifespan.
- Eyes are often similar to hair colour, though darker in colours, as well as having a slightly larger variety of colours like red, and seem partly machine in nature when observed. Small HUD screens actually function over top the eyes, displaying all sorts of information in text to the viewer.
- Are partly carbon based, partly silicon based, and therefore, partially inorganic. This is proposed to be the reason behind their physical instability.
Some Culture:- Language is a blend of Russian and Chinese that has begun to develop on it's own over the years.
- Culturally similar to humans
- Average lifespan is only eighty to ninety years; they stay young throughout there whole lives however.
- Much more passionate and emotional than most races due to their short lifespans.
- They tend not to be religious, and prefer a scientific approach.
- Very likely to have mechanical body mods; bodies accept them easily.
- Large developer of underground illegal body-mods for earth, as well as commonly infiltrate earth society despite not being aloud near earth colonies by law.
- Mechanically inclined, most are mechanics, or programmers and hackers, this is because their though is automatically altered to machine code by the machines in their bodies.
- Can breed with humans but the child often dies due to an even greater stability genetically speaking, as well as rejection of the nanomachines. It is therefore taboo to mate with humans, because it is seen as cruel to the child.
- limited interactions with other races, communicate long distance solely through their private internet servers. These servers host all sorts of illegal information and are a black market of sorts. Notoriously hard to get access too.
