Biological Quirks Of YN's People

[The Geeses Commonwealth of Goosedom]

The Geese are incredibly large, and the top one percent have an IQ above 250. Interestingly, the wings of some geese, about 6%, have feather motion on their wings that is more precise and has better grip than human hands.

[Hyggemata]

1. Hyggemata in popular stereotypes have blonde hair and blue eyes, though this appearance represents less than a majority of all Hyggemata.
2. Hyggemata are slightly taller than the human average.

[Vallermoore]

Our humans develop cutie marks like sapient ponies do on the backs of their hands.
Violet eyes are quite common.

[Arctica-Aleutia]

The humans in our nation are about what you'd expect them to be like, but there are also several other sentient species that make up the population: Vampires, ghouls, ghosts, kitsunes, and Zorua.

Vampires: Similar in appearance to humans, but with pale, sometimes almost white skin, a wider variety of eye colors, and usually black hair. Their pupils turn red when they're angry, and if you get them angry enough their whole eyes go red (don't do this). Although they can eat normal food and many of them enjoy it, they need blood to survive. In fact, blood provides them with all the nutrients they need, meaning they do not have to drink water or even breathe. A substitute for blood has been developed and is used by most vampires, but as some need real blood for medical reasons or simply prefer it, donated blood is also made available. They are capable of morphing into bats, and a few spend most of their time like that. Sunlight, though not immediately fatal, is a considerable threat, and special clothing that deflects UV light from around the wearer has been developed. As undead creatures, religious artifacts were fatal to them for most of history, although for nearly a century this has not been the case, perhaps due to vampires attempting to become part of society and many gaining religion. Vampires can live for more than a thousand years; many scientists believe that they are actually immortal, but written accounts of them do not go back far enough to prove this. As with most supernatural creatures, the nature and, indeed, the very existence of vampires has perplexed scientists.
Vampires have existed for as long as humans have. For most of history, they remained secluded from human society, either living in the wilderness or trying to pass for human. In some regions, namely Europe and northern Africa, they became particularly bold about attacking humans for blood, which resulted in the vampire myths most are familiar with. In the 15 and 1600s, some became more willing to make themselves known to society, although this usually didn't end well for the vampire. By the 1700s, the existence of vampires had become accepted as fact rather than legend, and America, as part of its Constitution, became the first nation to ban the hunting of vampires and create a process for them to gain citizenship. Other nations followed suit over the next few decades, with the last making the move by 1835. Discrimination against vampires is, sadly, still present in some of the world, though not nearly to the extant of discrimination against some other species.

Ghouls: supernatural creatures that look essentially human, but have completely white skin and hair, sharp teeth, a heightened sense of smell, and red, black, or purple eyes. In quite a few countries they are persecuted or even actively hunted, mostly because to survive they have to eat human meat. Here, they are perfectly welcome and active members of society, thanks to a special medicine that lets them eat normal food.

Ghosts: Although spirits tend to move on to the afterlife upon death, some wish to continue their "lives" here on Earth. A relatively large number of them come to Arctica-Aleutia due to its reputation as an accepting place. They are white and semi-transparent, capable of flight and invisibility, and can possess people and objects (though the possession of someone without permission is considered assault). Despite the fact that they aren't exactly alive, they generally act as normal members of society, and families of souls live in the suburbs alongside their living neighbors. They tend to look youthful regardless of what age they died at. They are capable of traveling to and from heaven, but won't tell you about it; if asked, they usually just giggle and say something like "Why, that's a surprise, silly!"

Kitsunes: The foxes and half-foxes of Arctica-Aleutia. Most have a human appearance with fox tails, ears, and canine teeth, with the rest having the appearance of humanoid foxes. They live up to a thousand years, at which point they transition into the form of spirits. They gain an additional tail every 100 years. However, almost all that are alive today are less than 100 years old, as from the early 20th century up until the end of WW2 they were persecuted and killed in their homelands of China and Japan.

Zorua: A small, fox-like species of pokemon with human-level intelligence. They are capable of shapeshifting into any living creature, and while many take the shape of a human in public, most of them spend the majority of time in their regular form. When in human form, they retain their fangs and whatever eye color they have. They sometimes take the shape of a humanoid zorua.

[KiraKira Land]

We are currently experiencing a boom of transhumanism, as people begin to transition to other species.

The nekofication drug, which allows a human to become a Neko, has been tweaked to have stronger effects and used as a base to create anthrofication.

There are now two basic types of Neko.
Type 1 are the older type, they look pretty much the same as they did before transition, but with longer canines, cat ears and tails. They can reproduce with humans and the child will be a normal human. Our leader Natune Mahiro is a Type 1 Neko.

Type 2, or NewType Nekos, change a bit more. Their eyes have larger irises, pupil shaped like a cat's, their nails grow sharper and tinted brown or black. They experience heightened senses of balance, smell and hearing. Their digestive system remains the same, so they still eat the herbivorous diet mandated by law, but if they reproduce with a human, their children will often be Nekos and may sometimes be infertile. Type 2 Nekos will likely be the future of the Nekos and will establish them as a legitimate separate species.

Anthrofication is still in progress. It is almost complete, and will allow transition to furries.

We also have more mundane things, like permanent changing of hair and nail colour via a similar genetic manipulation, and functioning hermaphrodites.

[Livian Nations]

Most Livians have bioluminescent green eyes. It apparently is either attractive or somehow beneficial to them as a whole, as this trait is not at all common in baseline humans. It was likely introduced through teratogens.

[Kyoki Chudoku]

Kyoki Chudoku has two species (technically more like races, but the term species is generally used to distinguish it from references to ethnicity) other than humans which it counts amongst its ranks. Notably, both are artificially created species based off of humans, rather than naturally born creatures. They are believed to have been created by Aozora Chiyumi, the Supreme Overlady of All Reality.

Neko: Nekos are humanoid in appearance. Their main difference to baseline humans is the addition of certain physical traits of cats- namely the growth of cat ears, cat tails, and in some cases sharpened canine teeth. Notably, the process is often used not out of personal interest by the subject, but rather as a method of torture- the growth of these features is incredibly painful and their presence serves as a permanent reminder. Nekos are created by the injection of a serum and the process is referred to as "nekofication". The most notable neko of the nation is Kurushimi (also known as Densetsu Roku), who served as the head of the nation's army and is known for her masochism and tenshi abilities relating to pain. Notable, the means of nekofication are sometimes exported to other nations who desire it.

Tenshi: Tenshi are physically similar to humans. However, many do possess unusual and distinct hair and eye colours. Tenshification (the process of becoming a tenshi) an agonising process, and a heavily restricted one. The subject is placed inside of a specially designed vat which is filled with chemicals, which themselves are often magically enchanted in enigmatic ways to allow for the process to proceed. The liquid immerses the subject, placing them in immense pain as parts of their body are torn apart and regenerated, and their mind is altered. Those who submit themselves to the process and can endure it survive and emerge as tenshi. Those who do not suffer detach. Tenshi possess magical abilities, although the nature and extent of these powers is heavily dependent on the individual. The process also causes those who undergo it to become incredibly loyal to the Supreme Overlady of All Reality. Kyoki Chudoku does not generally export this technology, with the current sole exception being its allies of the Supreme Authority.

[A m e n r i a]

Amenrians in general don't exactly have any quirks. We just look really good.

[Crysuko]

The difference between the two ethnic groups of Crysuko is that the Passani (who live further north) typically have yellow/gold irises, whereas the Kenessken who primarily live in the south, have pale white or gray.

[Harzberg]

Both genders: hair colour ranges from dark brown to silver-blonde to auburn, but jet black is also seen; eye colour is most commonly bright blue, green, violet and amber, but brown, hazel, and grey eyes are also present in the population; skin is either very pale or somewhat ruddy, freckles are relatively rare.

Females: range from petite with some curves, to large and stocky, but the vast majority have wider hips than other races which are ideal for bearing children. Average height is 5'8" though women who are 6' tall are not uncommon.

Males: broad-shouldered, build averages around medium but muscular, but some are extraordinarily heavily-built. Average height is 5'9" though men who are 6'2" and beyond are not uncommon.

Other traits: higher alcohol tolerance; higher fitness, strength and endurance levels; high cold resistance, average heat resistance.

[Cottony]

Not much. Shorter compared to Canadians, Finns, Icelanders, etc, and with minor geokinetic powers and control over plant growth.

[Flawless Eugen Interstellar Empire]

Hypersapiens came into being through intense biological engineering, specifically designing themselves to be as physically attractive as possible.

Traits include:
No Aging/Semi-Immortality
Feminine appearance
Smooth fair skin with nearly no wrinkles or blemishes
Slightly larger eyes in comparison to a human
Hair and eye colors that encompass the entire spectrum
Optimal body proportions

[Deina Prusija]

Many inhabitants of the Thick Forests and city-less fields of Deina Prūsija exhibit long lives and are avidly prone to growing beards. From the men to the women, to even children, peach-fuzz forms on most people from the age of 4 and turns into stubble at around age 10. By age 20, most people reach their chests.
Women exhibit less signs of this, but are more prone to beard growth in their later years.

For standards of 1871, Those of Deina Prūsija live quite long, into their 70's on most averages. Those who do not live very long are often attributed to being hunters, and poor folk who live in dangerous societies and environments.

Other such features are based mostly on terrain and environmental issues, but for the sake of the thread, I digress;
Many inhabitants are able to live through many harsh conditions in weather, and rely on the predictability of rivers and lakes for farming. They are accustomed to droughts, and food shortages yearly. Very few deaths are reported annually based on food-related casualties. As most of the Country is either forest, thicket, or mountains - terrain is hardly an issue for natives, but massive problems for immigrants, which is why tourism is so low.

[Victores]

We have a weaker immune system than most of the outside world because Victores was located on an isolated continent. The first people from other continents to arrive were in the 1200s. The number of people from other continents until 1600 was less than 100, mostly emmissaries and explorers. The country remained closed and foreigners were banned from entering without special permission until the mid 19th century when the Imperial Government began to collapse. Only in the early 20th century did large numbers of foreigners head to Victores. This brought several major pandemics that gutted the population, some of which wouldn't subside until the 1970s.

[Appalachia]

For unknown reasons, eldery Appalachians have a significantly reduced risk of dementia. A genetic component to this is possible but seems unlikely, experts suggest it may be more tied to Appalachian society which holds the elderly in high esteem and keeps them as an active part of family and social life.

[Yeffin]

Tattoo parlors only cater to humans and reptiles. (Because you can't tattoo fur. Nor can you blush.)

[Shurtur]

The many peoples of the Dominion are racially and genetically diverse. But some populations or individuals may be stricken with genetic or sorcerous afflictions, by chance or just by being near a powerful psychic wellspring. These include merely cosmetic features such as horns, three eyes, weird scales for skin, protruding tusks, or several genitalia, while others might be the procuring of powerful sorcerous abilities or terrible diseases.

[Yeffin]

Franchise furries religiously return to McDonald's or Burger King to collect every drinking cup or toy in the series. Without franchise furries, the world economy would collapse.

[Zarnazia]

The people of Zarnazia often modify their bodies mechanically and genetically to take on more desirable traits, for example future parent's may modify the expression of genes in their child in order for it to become more less susceptible to genetic diseases, and a person may get a mechanical modification in the case that they have weakened muscle tissue or bones that prevent them from working like an average person.

Robots are also considered people after a server was determined to be sentient after it was found to able to reason and think, as well as having emotions almost identically to that of an average human.

[Oshawottitia]

Well, Oshawotts are completely different from Humans. They stand 1'8 in average, their heads are covered in white fur. Their body is covered in Light blue fur. ON their stomach is their prized possession.

[Northern Ateria]

Most famous Northern Aterians throughout history are capable of making puns better than anyone.

And they have this very creepy knack of comparing other nations they've encountered with gifs.

[Grand Celestial Domain]

We spent many generations wandering around space and genetically modified our bodies so that we waste less resources and space- we're stunted, the average adult is 1.48-1.52m tall and aesthetics have favored neotenic looks. And we're also very pale, though sometimes recessives occur: the average skin type is a chalky white and light hues of grey.

[The Canadian Confederacy of Provinces]

Due to the prodigious amount of alcohol that we drink recreationally; attempting to poison us is an act of futility.

[Awitha]

Awithans can get extremely ill from drugs.
They are also extremely flexible and agile.

[Oshawottitia]

Well, Oshawotts are completely different from Humans. They stand 1'8 in average, their heads are covered in white fur. Their body is covered in Light blue fur. ON their stomach is their prized possession.

Now, well, Oshawotts have de-volved into their natural form, being less smart, and being more like a sea otter.
