Races in Magnus

Visibly different from each other, but not all that different.

Magnus consists of a variety of races, all of which stem from a common biological catalyst. It's unclear exactly how this occurred as the histories of all sentient race's planets are long and complex. However, a common theory is that a large comet filled with frozen, dormant micro-organisms shattered into tiny pieces, scattering bits of life throughout the galaxy. The only samples of this lifeform that survived this event did so on incredibly similar planets, characterized in the common fauna, flora, and atmospheric makeup of all spacefaring races' home planets.

List of Races

Including some brief descriptions of them to make it easy to find the one you're looking for. Or not. They're all bipedal, at least.

• Valen
  • Canine-like race, leaders in most avenues throughout Magnus. Rather low in population versus others in the galaxy while having the largest impact.
• Ventara
  • Race of evolved predatory birds, scientific partners of the Valen. Colorful in appearance and culture. Very large presence across the galaxy.
• Delphi
  • Possum-like race, began exploring Magnus on their own. In close competition with the Valen across all industries. Very passionate people, driven people.
• Kismek
  • Snake-like in appearance, featuring hooded heads and prehensile tails. Venom-free, tall, often strong, and intimidating. Warm-blooded with fangs!
• Damari
  • White-tailed deer-like race, but completely antler free. Evolved into omnivores. Perfectly average. Often found working "service" jobs in space, such as delivery services and bartending.
• Nocterra
  • Similar in appearance to fruit bats, but wing-free. Small, quick-witted, and fast. Second most common race to see as a ship mechanic. Can't digest meat at all.
• Koshyo
  • Most aptly described as dragon-like creatures covered in fur. Highly religious and largely uninvolved in galactic affairs.
