HiverSpace Races

Aukami

A race of Human-like Kamiroids that can live to be centuries old. They average around eight feet tall with olive skin, silver hair and eyes that glow different colors depending on their mood. They originate from Aukam and were the heirs to the Kamir civilization but let it go to waste.

B'hiri

A race of psionic arachnoids native to the icy world of B'hira in Hiverspace, which they share with the felinoid Lyiri. Individual B'hiri are technically hermaphrodites, capable of changing sex as needed between the violent, aggressive male phase and the calmer, more intellectual female phase.

B'hiri are open to application but are suggested for players familiar with the theme.

Their feather colors are typically range in color from tan to dark brown, while their head feathers are typically cream to white in color.

Falari are open to application for everyone.

Gankri

One of four intelligent races that have evolved on an ancient homeworld of the Kamir - once known as Kamm Shohob, now known as Kamsho. Creations of the Kamir, Gankri adults average about six feet in height. They are bipedal with two arms and two large paddle-like feet and a balancing tail that are suitable for jumping. Their furred, nimble hands are webbed.

Gankri are open to application for everyone.

Hekayti

On average, Hekayti stand from seven to nine-feet-tall. Their skin is mottled green, an evolutionary adaptation that they developed millennia ago to find camouflage from predators in the tropical jungles of their homeworld Hekayt Prime. They have bony growths, like ram horns, jutting from their skulls. They have hooved feet, and backwards-bending knees.

Hekayti are open to application for everyone.

Kamir

Millions of years ago, the Kamir were a humanoid race of powerful psionicists that enjoyed manipulating the genetics of other races and dabbled in the development of artificial intelligence and importantly, the Hivers. The few that survived when the Hivers revolted transcended to a level of non-corporeal existence to escape their renegade creation.

The Kamir are extinct, you can apply for one if you like but it'd be boring to play!

Llivori

Llivori are bipedal, badger-like aliens with claws, averaging five feet in height. The Kamir created the Llivori as proxy warriors to conquer alien worlds on behalf of their masters. After the Kamir fled this realm to escape the wrath of the Hivers, they felt ashamed of how they had been used and became far less interested in taking their place in the stars.

Llivori are open to application for everyone.

Lotorian

Known as "roamers" throughout the galaxy as their homeworld was presumably lost in a catastrophe ages ago, they now proliferate throughout Hiverspace aboard family-owned starships, in service to the Hekayti or in pursuit of personal gain. On average, Lotorians resemble Racoons; they are about five feet tall, furry and have elongated snouts and eyes.

Lotorians are open to application for anyone.

Lyiri

On average, these bipedal felinoids stand about five feet tall and are covered in fur. Color blind, they come from cities built in icy caverns below the surface of the planet B'hira, which they share with the spider-like B'hiri. The Lyiri share a predisposition toward commerce with the Lotorians, but their natural telepathic gifts make them automatic foes of the psi-hating Lotorians.

Lyiri are open to application for anyone.

Nemoni

Nemoni have lifespans that can reach 130 years. Their average height is 1/4", and they have bright red skin, bright yellow hair, and typically red, blue, or black eyes.

Riftwalker

A wan, waifish humanoid made solely out of psionics and telekinetically-held-together dust particles between two and five feet tall, they appear in Hiverspace with absolutely no memory of their past.

Riftwalkers are open to application for everyone.

Thul

A race of giant slug-like creatures covered in slime and bugs, with tentacles where their mouths should be. During their encounters with denizens of Sanctuary on the voyage through Hiverspace, it was learned that the Thul required certain glandular material from young humans in order to procreate.

Tupai

Tupai adults average about three feet in height, bipedal with two arms with leathery skin flaps that expand to serve as wings, two squat legs, and a sinuous tail.

Mekke

The Mekke are a psionic insectoid race distantly related to the Odarites. As a result of class differences, the two races living on Odari diverged into different species about 90,000 BCE. In 25,932 BCE, a civil uprising known as the War of the Broken Wing resulted in the lower-class Mekke establishing an independent society in the deep caves. The Mekke left their homeworld in 22,190 BCE to establish a colony on Ist'thol'mek. Despite this early civilization, both cultures subsequently suffered major setbacks to their technological development, leaving them no more advanced than other Orion Arm cultures.

• Mekke are not available to application.

Mystic

Mystics are on average seven feet tall, with the race ranging from the very short at six feet to the very tall at eight. They not heavy for their height, more bony than slim, and it's a rare Mystic that conforms to the human concept of overweight. They are humanoid, that is to say they are generally built like a human, with two arms, two legs, and a head all in the right places. They have the same gender differentiation as humans. Their skin is best described as mildly dark, similar to those humans of Mediterranean descent on Earth though the occasional one is a trace closer to actual 'green' than a human has ever been; the skin tone is often called 'olive' in shorthand. Their skin always looks more brown than green, however. Their eyes and hair are usually silver, with eyes occasionally demonstrating browns or light purples.

Mystics are not currently open to application.

Nall

All are designed by the Overmind to collect the vast amounts of data it requires, generally by performing a specific duty or set of duties. They are designed to self-destruct or otherwise resist investigation or modification of their internals by non-Phyrrians; however, skilled individuals have compromised a Tasker on at least one occasion.

Phyrrian's are not currently open to application.

Theorian

Timonae

The Timonae are a rather free-living race with a knack for gambling and troublemaking. They are cousins of the Mystics that abide on the planet Antimone. Most Timonae these days feel pity for their more psionically gifted brethren, who have lost just about everything over the centuries.
