Steele N friends Races
Intro
Steele n Friends is a Balto AU with major Science-Fantasy elements added to it. Funded by the United Nations, The Global Paranormal Investigation Agency is a secret organization that catalogs and studies paranormal races and creatures as well as occult and alien anomalies around the globe to keep the public safe.
Of course, humans had encountered these races long before the foundation of G.P.I.A. and have been spoken about in other cultures such as...
Caninoids/Cynoeas
Caninoids is a term to describe a race of humanoid/anthro canines. Cynoea is the actual name for these people but they are an ancient race from the Thurian age on Earth almost 60 million years ago. They expanded and evolved into many caninoid breeds. Around the Age of Acheron, A massive Caninoid empire called the Axefang Imperium founded by Galamor after coming across Eldritch gods sought to convert all Caninoid Kinds to eldritch worship. A massive species-wide civil war began and still persists even to this day. The pureborn are caninoids who never join Axefang and worship the Old Gods (Norse Gods).
Ferals is a term used by caninoids to describe the average dog or wolf that is altered and changed through being reduced to a feral state but regardless there are as many caninoids as there are feral dogs and wolves.
Notable caninoids regions include the desert nations of Hykoria, Home of the caninoid Salukies, and Anuntilia, home of the Afghan hounds within the great and vast Middle Eastern desert. Omigard serves as one city of the Malamute caninoids and Thule houses several caninoid breeds from the Fiendish Hellhounds to the savage Dire Wolves to the smallest Twilight Pomeranians and several others.
Traits wise caninoids possess the same characteristics as their feral counterparts. Sighhound Caninoids such as the Hykorian Hound (Saluki) have superior eyesight while Huskies and Malamute caninoid breeds excel in physical strength. Their ears perk up to various sounds, furs may perk up depending on their mood. They wag their tails when happy or excited and their snarl and growl when angered.
Saurins/Pangaeans
Hailing from the lost continent of Mu and Siptah. Saurins are the ancient pre-historic race of humanoid dinosaurs based on carnivorous therapod dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus and Allosaurus. Like the caninoids, there are many forms of saurins depending on region such as the above-mentioned Tyrannosaurus species of Saurins (Also known as Tyrans) and the swamp semi-aquatic Spinosaurus humanoids (Spinisius).
Similar to the lizardmen from Warhammer Fantasy, the Saurian people live in temple city-states governed by their Star Priest. They predate both humanity and caninoids alike and survive the TK extinction event. Unlike the caninoids which have their feral counterparts. The feral Dinosaurs of Mu and Siptah are descendants of Dinosaurs that didn't survive the Extinction. The dreadynosaurus are giant apex predators that roam the primal lands, snatching at lesser prey that crosses paths with this beast and the Spinisdon, Feral members of the Spinosaurid Aegpyticus and somewhat related to the Spinosaurus humanoids but the size of the spinisdon rivals that of the elephant.
Where the caninoids worship the Norse gods, the Saurins worship a mysterious sect of gods known as the Elder ones and their father Ak'coa. Not much is known about these Saurian gods except that they came after the Aesir - Vanir war yet have a connection to these Nordic gods.
Of course, the saurians and caninoids had crossed paths before in the Thurian Period in Earth's history. Hell, they even fought each other a few times and are prone to kill each other even to this day. Recently in 1993 Axefang fallen caninoids fought against the saurins at Topekl, of course, they were defeated but the saurins didn't gain victory either resulting a Tyran named Ka'nlz (aka. The Kazai Rex) exiling himself to the Congo rainforest in Africa.
Scornians
Our first Aliens from the Stars on this list. Scornians are an alien race of Bio-mechanical humanoids with an H.R. Giger flavor to them. Hailing from the Planet Scorn in the Pisces star Cluster. In the year 850 A.d, A scornian expedition team came to Earth and built a research facility under the caninoid city of Omigard. Although they are considered a hostile alien race, They don't attack or exterminate life but rather they send a tiny group of Missonarians to convert people into the dreams of Scorn. Their twisted religious philosophy they believe will save them from the end of the universe. To ascend to a higher form and intelligence yet they must sacrifice everything even their souls to achieve their bio-organic enlightenment.
The Omigard research facility is led by an Angl known as Xhilia. A high-ranking Angl that oversees all operations.
Humans aren't the ones to make contact with these techno-organic aliens as the Caninoids also made contact and even dealt with them. Notably, the caninoids of Axefang and their Brethren Moon Conclave who devote themselves to the Dreams of Scorn and of course the Omigard Caninoids although they don't interact with them.
Traits-wise, They are biologically Immortal, Immune to all earthborn diseases. They do not need food, sleep, or water to live or to survive. They can breathe both Earth's oxygen and their own poisonous oxygen that also acts as a defense mechanism for their facility.
Dwarves
One of Earth's youngest races, the Niðavi-Dwarves came from Niðavellir, one of the alternate realms, and would become the Miðgarðr Dwarves. They lived in the mountains of both Thurian Age Thule and Modern Thule for years. Went unnoticed until in 1500 A.D when they were encountered by the Dire Wolf caninoids. The Dwarves ignored all caninoid kind at first. Didn't pay attention to them until a small group of Dwarves broke off from the main Dwarven Unity and became the Dwegord (Dwarf version of Axefang Caninoids) after they made a pact with the Cosmic wyrm.
This led to a never-ending grudge between the Unified Dwarves and the Eldritch-tainted Dwegord. Both are at war for gems and materials as well as to prevent them from entering Niðavellir and corrupting it with Eldritch magic.
Dwarves are short-stack and fair skin. Often having either Red, blonde, brown, or black hair colors with green, blue, or steel color eyes. Dwegord Dwarves will have either Blood red, Coal gray, or lava orange hair with either Yellow, red, or orange color eyes and lastly Yellow or Orange skin.
