The Seven Races
Humans
One of the dominant races, humanity has been credited with many of the advancements that create such a high quality of life in the Masses. Humans are native to the continent of Eurish, the largest of the landmasses. Human territory is referred to as the Overland, a name that refers to the primary human religion; the Church of the Overlanders. The Overland is governed over by a democratically elected president, who serves for 3 years per term. The current president leading the Overland is President Isaac Watts. The Overland is one of the few governments in the Masses to hold it's own military seperate from the United Fleet. G.U.N. serves as a personal defense force for the Overland, though some conspiracists believe that it's true purpose is to undermine the other races. The Overland has settlements on almost every major landmass under the Skydome; even Northamer, where humans are often unwelcome, holds Station Square, one of the largest human cities in the Masses.
Since the Great War, humans have held a reputation as jingoists, warmongers, and bigots. Sadly, such beliefs are difficult to disprove when, even in this day and age, human supremacy groups still exist. Despite this, humans still hold good diplomatic ties with the Kron and the two races often work together in joint efforts.
Kron
A silicon-based race of rocklike beings native to the continent of Donunda, the Kron possess a culture of hard work and fortitude. Respected throughout the Masses as workers, engineers, and craftsmen, the Kron are the second biggest military power in the Masses, constantly tinkering and creating new weapons and devices. Though largely peaceful (indeed, the Kron have one of the strictest justice systems ever, treating any unjustified incitement of violence as a crime of the highest order) the Kron are extremely powerful in combat, hindered only by their slow speed. Kron are the longest lived of the Seven Races, living for over 200 years at maximum. This is balanced by the fact that Kron breed rarely, with couples usually only producing one to two children in a lifetime. Kron have no primary religion; the race is largely atheist in nature due to Kron culture demanding a focus on success through constant hard work. Kron leadership is a monarchy where a "Foreman" commands the continent's workforce and military. Foremen serve until death, retirement, or overthrow though the latter is extremely rare. The current leader is Foreman Krag.
Zoah
A race of metallic beings native to the Land Of A Million Lights in Efrika, the Zoah are the most powerful of the Seven Races in terms of military power. The Zoah have a strong militaristic culture that focuses on power, skill, and pragmatism. Political and corporate double-crossing are common and rarely frowned upon. The Zoah have a unique reproductive cycle in which two to three Zoah come fuse their "essence" to create a fertilized crystal that produces the essence of up to four new Zoah who are promptly given carefully constructed shells to inhabit. Zoah government is a military dictatorship where the general leads the nation. The current general is General Raxos. Zoah are often distrusted amongst the other races due to their betrayal of their allies in the Great War.
Nrr'gll
The Nrr'gll are a sluglike race that inhabit the continent of Soumerca. A highly caste-based race, the Nrr'gll are lead by their monarch who sends orders to the rest of her kind and authorizes breeding. The Nrr'gll propagate their kind through breeding outs where eggs are fertilized and given nutrition through decaying matter being added to nests. It is not uncommon for extremely old or dying Nrr'gll to add themselves to this matter in order to help the next generation thrive. The Nrr'gll are easily the most secluded of the Seven Races, preferring to keep to themselves and only having diplomatic relations with the other Races when necessary. Nrr'gll living outside of Soumerca are fairly rare compared to the other Races.
Voxai
The Voxai are a race resembling jellyfish who inhabit the continent of Yurashia. The Voxai have a culture that encourages extreme patience and peace between individuals, with a focus on meditation and contemplation. Voxai are unique in that they possess a latent mental link with all others of their kind. This is used by the ruling Overmind (three elected individuals who rule the Voxai) to subtly suggest actions and ideas in the government in order to keep things running smoothly. Stereotypes often claim that this telepathy and influencing of others extends to all races, but this is a myth. The Voxai have close diplomatic relationships with the Blodex, who's home landmass rests close to their own.
Blodex
The Blodex are an insect-like race who inhabit Skoal Island, the smallest of the home landmasses. The Blodex live in large colonies in which various Blodex are assigned different jobs to keep the colony functioning well. These colonies are ruled by Ruling Councils who decide on jobs and handle politics. Blodex reproduce by laying egg clutches of about 10 eggs, half of which are treated to hatch females and the other half of which are allowed to hatch males. Blodex religion worships Apyx, a warrior god said to have created the world and than left to create life elsewhere in the universe. The weakest of the Seven Races in terms of economy and military, the Blodex rely on their close allies the Voxai to keep up with the other Races.
Mobians
One of the most numerous of the Seven Races, Mobians are a massively varied race native to the continent of Northamer. Consisting of numerous different subspecies, many with biological differences, Mobians once held territory throughout the majority of the Masses thanks to their high level of adaptibility and the great political and economic success. After the Great War they lost a good majority of their territory and are now relegated to Northamer and the close areas around it. Unlike the other Races Mobians have no uniting government. While the Kingdom Of Acorn rules most of Northamer, there are various other mobian governments such as the Felidae and the Golden Hive Colony.
