Races of Prizm City
Prizm City is home to several races of sentient humanoids,most outside of standard humans are the product of generations of genetic engineering to apply desirable traits upon humans,over time this has manifested in the prevalence of two additional races that are visually distinct from standard humans.
Though still genetically compatible from a breeding standpoint,the other two races are too varied to classify but generally fall into two groups,”featured humans”-so called because they are generally human with added animal features,most often ears and tail,and “anthros” these features sometimes impart improved abilities to the owner in some manner,in its history it was found that tails provided better balance in micro-gravity,and animal type inner ears helped handle vertigo and other issues from pre-space faring humans,historians still debate the origins of trying these changes on humans in the pre-history and early history of Prizm city,however it has provided some of the foundation of many things that have allowed the colony to survive and establish itself as a stable and permanent settlement outside of earth’s influence.
Anthros differ from featured humans mostly in that their animalistic features are across their entire body,this also at times can include morphology unique to the species the individual is an anthro of.
While generally most anthros are still bipedal,some species can skew towards differing body-plans and may require special accommodations in everyday life.
Featured-humans and Anthros have proliferated over the generations and currently make up large portions of the population,they are also the parts of the population that has the most common occurrence of “Hyper-Morphology”
A person can be born a standard human and be made into a featured-human or anthro if desired,however reversal of the process is still beyond the abilities of even Prizm city’s advanced genetic manipulation.
Featured-human and Anthro traits are often inherited or applied very early in life for best results.
There exists a belief that featured-humans and anthros are superior to normal humans,but this is a notion mostly pushed by some earth-backed human-supremicist groups in attempts to generate dissent,thankfully the few earth-supremicist groups operating in Prizm city havent managed to get much a foothold for various reasons.
