Humans
Humans are the most common race on the planet, although their numbers are a fraction of what they were before the Bellati arrived. They represent the remnants a civilization lost to disease, war, and famine; but humans persevere. Creating settlements, starting families, and fighting for their lives, they are the calloused survivors of the plague and The Great War. What they lack in numbers they make up for in spirit and determination. Reclamation of the earth rests heavily on the shoulders of every remaining human. A long journey lies ahead. The most exceptional of the remaining humans rose to the challenges of the new world by becoming soldiers, bandits, scientists, and technicians. Not all use their new-found expertise for good, but it is undeniable that only the strong and smart survive. |

Mutants Mutants are the byproduct of an infected world. When the Bellati arrived on earth, they unknowingly brought with them a deadly virus. This virus lived peacefully within every Bellati but was especially destructive to human DNA. Very few humans were completely immune to the virus. Most of the population died as they were overwhelmed by its violent and painful symptoms. Those that survived the virus’ effects underwent an agonizing transformation. The unfortunate were consumed with uncontrollable rage, losing control of their faculties. They now wander the world, driven by instinct alone, a grave danger to everyone. Those that were fortunate enough to process the virus effectively were able to maintain control of their bodies and minds. As a result, they gained powerful abilities akin to the Bellati. |

The Bellati
The Bellati are a hyper-intelligent race of aliens from the planet Aeros’val—the crystalline planet. They were stranded on earth after fleeing their star system which was destroyed by a supernova. They’d been traveling through space on multi-generational ships for hundreds of Earth years in search of a new home world. Most Bellati that arrived on Earth have never even seen their home planet; they were born on their colony ship, the Jalu’Maktar, which loosely translates to “salvation.” The native language of the Bellati is Bellaah’, but most Bellati have learned the local language of whichever region of Earth they reside. |
