Races

By the year 2028, many different races make Earth their home. While some are native, a good many come from other planes.

## Humanity

Since the late 19th century, Humanity has split into multiple subspecies of hominids. There are, so far, 6 noted subspecies of humanity, as well as 2 documented subspecies born from interbreeding with Extraplanars.

### Human

The baseline of Humanity, humans make up about 33% of Earth's population. They are one of the most physiologically diverse species in the known realms.

### Duende

Taking their name from Iberian mythos, Duende first appeared in the Spanish Cantabrian mountains in 1911. They are, on average, shorter and stockier than other varieties of humanity, and have a better sense of sight than all other varieties of humanity barring Elves. Duende are known to mostly inhabit areas at higher altitudes; as such, they make up a large portion of the Peruvian and Tibetan populaces.

In terms of gameplay, Duende are considered size small. They have an innate +2 to their base constitution score, and a below-average walking speed of 25ft per turn. They have a Darkvision of 60ft, resistance to poison damage and advantage on saving throws against poisons. Due to their nature as living amongst mountains, they are naturally able to discern the origin of stonework, gaining proficiency in History should they be investigating stonework. If they are already proficient, they double their proficiency bonus.

### Mooinjer

Originating on the Isle of Man in 1893, the Mooinjer are typically shorter than most humans, but otherwise are physiologically the same. They are mostly situated in the Anglosphere, however they are not uncommon to see in other parts of the world.

## Other Terrestrials

### Amoeboid

Amoeboids are a form of highly magically-mutated amoeba, which have gained sapience. Having sprung up in the Ural mountains during the 1950s, Amoeboids are incredibly rare.

### Catkind

Born from common house cats, Catkind are a sapient magical mutant race. There is no clear consensus on how they were mutated, nor their exact origins. The first recorded instance of a Catkind was in 1894, in London.

### Leporidan

Much like Catkind, Leporidans are highly magically-mutated rabbits given sapience. Having originated in the Rocky Mountains in the 1910s, they are thought to have originally been Nuttalli's Cottontails (*Sylvilagus nuttallii*).

In terms of gameplay, Leporidans may increase one primary stat score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. They may not increase any above 20 this way.

## Extraplanars

### Krell'Atu

The Krell'Atu (which translates to Ocean People) are an ancient race, with Desvonian texts describing a great Empire of Torll'kos'yiz (which translates to Land of All) approximately 5000 years ago, before a described apocalypse. Since then, the Krell'Atu have been splintered into multiple smaller civilisations. The most prominent and populous of these is Amalfi, which operates as the foremost trading power in the known planes.

### Saccharite

By far the most populous non-human group on Earth, Saccharites go by different names based on biological sex: succubus and incubus. Unlike their biblical counterparts, Sacchar do not have any inclination towards promiscuity. However, it is noted that they are (on average) incredibly efficient bureaucrats. Hailing originally from the plane of Sacchar, their home plane was devastated during The March of 9 Million. Due to this, in 1921 the last 450,000 Sacchar alive arrived on Earth. Nowadays, they make up approximately 15% of Earth's population.

In terms of gameplay, Saccharites gain a base +2 to Charisma and +1 to Constitution. They have 30ft walking speed, 10ft flying speed, and are size Medium.

### Chstrzvtzl

The Chstrzvtzl are the inhabitants of The Outlands, the nearest plane to Earth. Worshippers of Khl'dt, they are known for their maneuverability and their tendency to be aggressive towards other races. About 30% of all Chstrzvtzl reside on Earth, and they tend towards mountainous regions. In The Outlands, they make their homes in large floating cites such as Fudam, and it is not uncommon for a Chstrzvtzl to have lived their entire life in The Outlands and have never once seen the land below.

### Thosovusu (Posocco)

Of the Thosovusu, the Posocco caste is generally the most well-known. Being some of the greatest warriors of the known planes (with some famous clashes with some splinter Krell'Atu cells, such as the Zahn'Nimihr). Hailing from the plane of Pricci, many races have used Posocco mercenary bands in their conflicts for centuries. Posocco Thosovusu are forbidden from interbreeding with Sevancco Thosovusu, and offspring of both castes are known as Talanta (which translates to abomination).

### Thosovusu (Sevancco)

Unlike their warrior counterparts, Thosovusu of the Sevancco caste are peaceful, passive and reclusive. The Sevancco capital of Ciavata on Pricci is home to the Ciavata Archives, which is the largest library in the known planes, home to well over a billion books. The Sevancco are some of the most magically gifted people in the known planes, and their magical innovations have inspired some of Humanity's greater feats of magic.

### Azurians

Azurians are the native inhabitants of Azuria, the Crystalline Realm, and are some of the hardiest folk in the near realms.
Insectoidal in nature, they have natural armour which makes them hardier than most other races. Uniquely, they are semi-hiveminds, having full independent identities but being forever psionically tied to their hive. Without a connection to their hive, Azurians will become depressive, and after prolonged time without will begin to shut down.
They almost exclusively worship their God, The All-Seeing Eye.

### Desvonian

The Desvonians are a frog-like people of traders and slavers, who rarely appear on Earth. While much of their history is unknown to Humanity, they have sold some scholars documents dating back hundreds of thousands of years. Their home realm is unknown, and they are only ever seen in interplanar vessels or in major trading hubs (such as New York City, Fudam or Zetan).
