Full Human (100%)
Full-blooded Humans are those who are born on Earth or the colony planets who have no Zentraedi blood in them, and such are normal in all physical senses. They have the highest Spiritia levels of all races, however, due to their long centuries of exposure to Protoculture.
• +10 SP at level 1; +1d10 per level
• Cannot use Micronization Chambers
Full Zentran (Zentraedi Males)
Full Zentrans are all male Zentraedi, born from the cloning vats in the Zentraedi Factory Satellites. They were born prior to Space War One, and there are no more of them being cloned since all the Factory Satellite have ceased the cloning processes. PC wanting to play Full Zentrans must place their character at the age of 25-60 years old at the start of the game. Full Zentrans have lower levels of Spiritia than Humans.
• Micronized HP: +10 HP at level 1
• +1d6 to PS, PE and SPD
• Giant Hitpoints: 4d6 MDC +1d6 per level MDC
• Giant Speed: SPD x 3
• - 6 SP at level 1; +1d4 per level
Full Meltran (Zentraedi Females)
Full Meltrans are all female Zentraedi, born from the cloning vats in the Zentraedi Factory Satellites. They were born prior to Space War One, and there are no more of them being cloned since all the Factory Satellite have ceased the cloning processes. PC wanting to play Full Meltrans must place their character at the age of 25-60 years old at the start of the game. Full Meltrans have lower levels of Spiritia than Humans.

• - 4 SP at level 1; +1d4 per level
Half Meltran
Half Meltrans are those whose fathers are Human and mothers are Meltran. They can only be of the female sex, can use micronization chambers to grow to giant size or return to a micronized state and have physical bonuses from their Meltran blood.

Mixed Zentran/Meltran
Mixed Zentran/Meltran are those whose fathers are Zentrans and mothers are Meltran. They can be of any sex, can use micronization chambers to grow to giant size or return to a micronized state and have physical bonuses from their Zentran/Meltran blood. Full Zentrans have lower levels of Spiritia than Humans.
• Micronized HP: +10 to HP at level 1
• +1 to PS and PP, +1d4 to PE and SPD

Varautan
Varautans are Earth Humans, descended from the human colonists on the Megaroad-13 Colony Fleet, who were captured and enslaved by the Protodevlin on Varauta Prime. For all intents and purposes they are normal humans, but with some neural and physical modifications, including low Spiritia levels, done by their former masters to make them into the zombie-like warriors they used in the Varautan War.
While free from the control of the Protodevlin, Varautans are still slightly different from Earth Humans, while their physical appearance remains the same. Also, because of the Varautan War, they are generally distrusted, specially by the Zentraedi, who hate anything connected with the Protodevlin. They are not Zentraedi and cannot become giant-sized – they are Micronians to the core.
• Micronized HP: +1d4 to HP at level 1
• +1 to PP and PE
• +2 to PE
• -3 to ME
• -2 to IQ
• Cannot use Micronization Chambers
Note: While it is possible to have Half Varautan characters (those who are offspring between Varautans and Earth Humans) the close proximity of the end of the Varautan War precludes them to be of the right age to be qualified adults (all are in the 3-5 year old ageframe), so they cannot be used as player characters and are very rare in the universe.
