Terran (species)

Terran are a species of aliens directly descended from humans after many millenia of evolution and relocation from Earth to the planet of Terra. Terrans are distinct for their rough and tough personalities which have helped them greatly in times of conflict making them one of the longest lasting species not to have significantly cross-bred for survival to this day, at least 70% of individuals with Terran blood are not half-breeds, there is no political reason as to why Terrans have sustained such a high purity rate in their DNA Pool but many believe it is some underlying tone of superiority in the Terrans.
==Physical Appearance==
Terrans are very similar in appearance to their ancestors, humans, with males standing usually between 275-320cm and females standing usually between 245-290cm, they generally have stronger builds than humans with the standard Terran having a body shape more similar to a slightly athletic human, however without tensing muscles Terrans at their maximum do not look as physically strong as humans, this is due to their folded muscles. Terrans tend to have a redder complexion than humans due to a much higher concentration of Iron in their blood giving their skin a cherry sort of complexion, the melanin in most Terrans is fairly similar as well resulting in much less extremes in racial differences. In addition their hair is naturally on a redder tone than humans and their natural hair colours are; White, Peach, Red, Crimson, Maroon & Black as such.
==Biological Differences from Humans==
Terrans although very similar on the outside are a different story internally the following is a list of known Biological differences between Terrans & Humans;
*Terrans naturally have 40 Teeth as opposed to a Human's 32 Teeth
*Terrans have Larger Stomachs and Smaller Intestines resulting in faster digestion but often means Terrans will gourge themselves more often than Humans
*Folded Muscles - Possibly one of the most critical differences between Humans and Terrans are the folded muscles, similar to how the brains of both species have folds in them the Terran Muscles are folded to provide greater electrical conductivity allowing for them to exert more power, allowing them to exceed human limitation
*Terrans give birth after 4 years as opposed to Humans who give birth after 9 Months, this is a result of Terrans having a reproductive cycle more akin to Earth Marsupials than Earth Placentals, they do however carry the child in the womb unlike Earth Marsupials who tend to have pouches instead
*Terrans have internal milk production organs which disappear in Male Terrans very early on, this means they do not have nipples externally, the organ is about the same size as their hearts and is located on their left sides
*Female Terrans have breasts although their purpose seems to be purely for sexual attraction, similar to how animals like Male Peacocks have Tail Feathers to attract potential mates
*Terrans have roughly 12 more bones than humans the most distinct four are the Secondary Femurs and Secondary Humeruses which are used to support Terrans when they are exerting their maximum potential force
*Terran Adolescence occurs from the ages of 22-30, this means for Human-Terrans such as Fera they go through Adolescence twice, the first time developing into a slightly below average sized human and then later developing roughly half-way between the two species, this can be observed with Fera's heights across her ages;
Fera's Age	Fera's Height
21 	147.3cm
22 	160cm
23 	165.1cm
24 	175.3cm
25 	185.4cm
26 	193cm
27 	203.2cm
28 	215.9cm
29 	228.6cm
*The ratios of particular bones is also different the following body parts of Terrans and Humans vary in regards to the overall body ratio;
**Terrans have wider Shoulders
**Terrans have wider Hips (both sexes)
**Terrans have longer fingers
**Humans have larger feet
**Humans have longer necks
*Terrans are born able to walk
*Terrans live for longer with the average lifespan being about 145-180 years old
==Half-Breeds==
Half Breeds are uncommon but not rare in Terran society, Terrans typically breed with species smaller than them possibly out of some sort of dominance gene that seems to be tied to their culture of power. Half-Breeds are often praised among the Terrans and many Terrans describe the Half-Breeds as adorable.
There is a key advantage to being a Terran Half-Breed and that is the inexplicit immunity that develops when Terran DNA is diluted with other DNA, this immunity is against a highly toxic material known as Eldiron, only a few species are known to be able to consume the material and Terran Half-Breeds are one such case, this actually proves highly useful for them however as Eldiron contains such a high concentration of Iron in it that it boosts Muscle Growth usually be about 250% in Half-Breeds and is often given to them at an early age by the Terran Government to promote growth.
Terran DNA works best with species who undergo Adolescence before Terran Adolescence as the pain of Terran Adolescence on Half-Breeds who have later Adolescence is described as excrutiatingly painful as such Human-Terrans are the most common Half-Breeds making up roughly 10% of all individuals with Terran DNA. It is generally advised by the Terran Government however that Male Terrans do not seek out Females of species less than 40% of their height as the mortality rate of childbirth is unfortunately common.
Terran DNA is also what is known as Dominant DNA meaning that biological differences tend to favour the Terran side of a child than the other side, this is why most Terran Half-Breeds end up looking like a normal Terran when fully grown, though some aspects of the specimen's biology like skin colour, hair colour, and bone size are impacted by the cross-species breeding.

==Trivia==
*The original Terran Language is extinct as Terrans adopted Human Languages in the 6th Millenium as it turned out language translators would often confuse the Terran word for friend "Fukra" with vulgar slang in Human Language.
