Every child is different and you will have to spend time with you child
to find out what he or she is like.

Thunderians:
Thunderians come from the planet of Thundera,
whose destruction caused many of our children to come here. The code
that the governmental bodies teach their people and make their laws by
can be summed up in the following phrase: Truth, Justice, Honor,
and Loyalty.
There are many different kinds of cat. The
Lions traditionally lead, but the Tigers and Jaguars also have a large
hand in the government and monarchy.
The main races are those two, along with the Panthers and Cheetahs.
For just about every kind of cat you can think of, there is a Thunderian
who has evolved from them.
Some, like the panthers and lions are extraordinarily
strong, and are must be taken what kinds of toys and things to buy
for him. The cheetahs are fast, and need to be watched when very
young so they don't get hurt or run somewhere they should not be.
Most Thunderians tend to have an air of confidence,
even if they are not particularly bold, and this comes from breeding and
eons of evolution from the proud cats.
There what are known as Throwbacks, who have muzzles
and sometimes tails and legs that bend like a cat's. There can be
problems with them, as they often have the instincts of their more feral
ancestors, and require special care. Some may go into heat, and many
have long claws that extend and can cause damage. A child should
never
be
declawed, although keeping them trimmed like most adults do with their
own nails should keep accidents to a minimum.
There are Thunderians that are not complete throwback,
who look mostly like others, except for subtle feral features such
as the extending claws, more fur, pointed teeth... These show
fewer of the feral instincts, but should still be monitored so you can
teach them how to deal with their differences with confidence and pride.
Mutants:
The Mutants of Plundaar are far more bestial in
appearance than the Thunderians. They evolved from many different
animals, not including cats, as cats were not indigenous to their planet.
Many are descended from animals most humans recognize from their long-ago
past, and a rare few evolved from ones not so familiar.
Plundaar is a place of oppression and cruelty.
The government keeps the good people repressed, and the corrupt ones in
power, so their own positions can be assured. Many Plundaarian children
grow up either very submissive and timid, or extremely aggressive,
having learned this is how they stay alive and how they get what they want.
Of course there are a good many who grow up with
decent families, just like anyone else, but it is difficult to be a decent
person on the planet's surface.
The reptilians generally lead, and they are the
biggest of the races, for the most part. The Monkians are often aggressive,
and very strong. Like panthers, toys that do not break easily are
best.
Lunattacks:
The Lunattacks of Plundaar live on the planet's
moons. There are five main races of them, but many minor ones.
It is important to know the powers and abilities of the races, because
many Lunarian children need to be taught how to use their powers.
As with a Thunderian's claws, a Lunarian child should never be subjected
to anything that will hinder their powers, unless they are very young,
and don't understand yet what they're doing. And then only if there
is danger of them or someone else getting hurt.
Psys' mind powers vary. Some can control
minds wit or without the aid of a staff made for that very purpose.
Some are telekinetic, and can move objects with nothing but mind power
and some can speak telepathically. Some few can do two
or more of these things as they get older. Older children will be
able to tell you what they can do, but with little ones, you need to watch
and find out.
Ice clan children can blow breath so cold it will
freeze most things on contact. This will not kill, usually, but put
the target into something very like cryo sleep. The biggest danger
is that they can shoot a beam of heat from their hands that
will instantly melt the ice, but this is also a fire hazard.
Graviton children are strong, stronger than any
other clan of the moons. They are dense, physically, and weigh more
than most children of the same size. Many adults have cybernetics
grafted to their legs to enhance their powerful jumping ability.
(This is a painful process and very few children are subjected to it.
it is not even legal on most planets for children to bear these cybernetics.)
Don't be surprised if you find your child on the roof of the shed someday.
The Darkling clan is known by many names: Infra,
Redeye, and a few others. Again, often using cybernetics to enhance
it, their specialty is sight. Unaided, a Darkling can see through
unshielded walls, can see heat signatures, infra-red, and ultra-violet.
They see at least three times the color that humans do, and many other
different kinds of light.
The royal clan has no special powers or abilities.
Although many have far higher IQs than most, there are also many who have
far lesser. They are traditionally the ruling clan of the moons,
though the other moons often are in a disagreement about this. The
royal clan, also called the Lunar clan, are short in stature, the
tallest being around four foot, and at the small extreme, two. There
are records of some being an unheard of six feet, but that
is extremely rare.
There are others, of course. The hyperaudios
can hear great distances, can her sub-sonic and ultra-sonic sounds. Care
must be taken with these, as ultrasonic noise is very painful., and
can easily damage their ears.
There is a clan they call Generics, which are
small statured, white-skinned, and have clear hair. They can
be born to any clan, and are seen as genetic inferiors, and often put into
slavery at very young ages. They have no powers or skills, but are
tough, and eat far less than most other sentient beings.
The Brute clan is a race of low-sentience Lunattacks
who walk on all fours but have the use of thumbs and hands. They
are exceptionally strong, maybe even moreso than the Gravitons, and learn
very slowly. They speak in broken words, and think a simple sentences
and concepts. Many young are trained as bodyguards, and treated as
animals, and many don't know that this is wrong. A lot of trainers
beat the young to assert themselves as being dominant, as they are evolving
from pack animals, who did this in the wild.
Humans:
There many different races of humans, but they
are more alike than the clans of Mutants, or Thunderians, or Mutants.
Their differences are not even internal, only external, and can include
skin color, eye shape, and other such features. They
are bipeds, like the other races, and like the Lunattacks, they
do not have fur. They have hair on their heads, and very fine hair
over their bodies.
They are not physically strong compared to most
of the Thunderians and Mutants, but are usually more adaptable, and are
very intelligent.
They come from many places in the galaxy, including
some that live on Thundera, and Plundaar and its moons, and countless other
planets in the galaxy. When their native planet was nearly destroyed
not once, but twice, they had to find new places to live. Again, this shows
their adaptability when faced with adversity.
Bolkins:Bolkins
hail from Third Earth, where they live in tiny villages. Bolkins
tend to be simple folk, with little need for material possessions.
They are normally quiet, or even shy and timid, though you have exceptions,
as with all races. Bolkin adults rarely exceed four feet in height,
and are usually slim in stature. It is widely belived, though no
one knows for sure, that Bolkins evolved from sheep or goats from First
or Second Earth, possibly aided along by genetic experimentation.
Bolkins are fairly tough and adaptable people. Though they are evolved
enough to learn how to build modern technology, many choose to live simply,
with no engines; farming or gathering what they need to survive.
They can eat meat, though most do not; it does not digest easily.
Wollos:
Wollos also hail from Third Earth, though they
live in larger cities with stone buildings and cobbled, if not paved roads.
Their tech level does not include internal combustion engines, but they
do have steam technology. It is unknown what creatures they evolved
from, but many think it was some kind of canine, or perhaps raccoon or
wolverine-like stock. Wollos are generally peaceful, but will fight
if necessary. They are fairly affluent. Not rich, not poor.
Like the Bolkins, they are small in stature, most never reaching heights
of five feet. The females are often taller than the males, though
males are stockier.
Tabbots
Tabbots are another Third Earth native, evolved
from pigs and boars. They live in small, closely-knit communities,
and are often quite rich. They are about the same height, generally,
as humans, with about as much variation. They are quite stocky, though,
and gain weight quite easily. It is okay, health-wise, for a Tabbot
to be somewhat fat; it's if they start having trouble walking that the
fat is getting into unhealthy realms. On the other hand, a very skinny
Tabbot is a sign that something is wrong with him.
Many of them are taught that the Tabbot race is
superior, and taught that money is very important, but this is not, by
any means, inborn. It is taught. Those of the Tabbot race who
are poor or even only middle class are often treated as inferior, and get
the most menial jobs.
Nai
Nai are coast-dwelling people who live on Third
Earth. They look very much like humans in body, but their skin comes
in shades of purple. Their hair is either thin and straight, or so
tightly curled that it almost looks like their hair is made from little
marbles. Though less technologically advanced than humans, and less
inclined to go to war or even fight, the Nais' bahaviors is a lot like
humans'.
They live from fish, mostly, and are fisherman
by trade. They live along the coasts of the ocean, and are natural
swimmers. Even a newborn Nai can keep himself afloat by sheer instinct.
They generally cannot eat very spicy foods, or very heavy foods, because
it does not digest well.
Elves
There are many elvin races througout the know
galaxies, and their general personalities vary greatly. They
look a lot like humans, though are generally taller, average being anywhere
from 6 to 7 feet tall. They are slim; in fact most eat very little,
and do not easily gain weight. Some people mistakenly beleive a very
slim elf to be malnourished or ill, but if the muscle and skin is smooth,
and bones are not jutting out, it doesn't matter how skinny they are; they
is not an indication of ill health. They can eat mostly anything
that a human can, and some things that humans can't; make sure you have
a Healer nearby or quickly accessible who knows of elvin biology before
adopting an elvin child.
