After [[character creation]], this guide will help you decide what your character can look like. Here's a summary of some kinds of character that fit with the [[encyclopedia galactica|theme of Furscape MUCK]]. Note that dallen, eisshari, human, AI, odontonian and skiltaire characters have some strings attached and should be discussed with the staff. Belter, other recom (including taur and chakat), irbis, and kirru are open to new applications. |

Mating between different species is commonplace in our setting. Different species often have trouble conceiving naturally, but medical services exist to help resolve any incompatibility. Hybrid or "cross breed" recoms with characteristics of both parents are possible, however most often parents have their children gene-tweaked to match one parent species or the other. It is widely believed that this leads to fewer developmental problems and healthier children. Hybrid species may be subject to mild discrimination in some situations. | Mating between different species is commonplace in our setting.

- | Chakats are also recoms, however they differ somewhat in history and society. Most recoms were originally created by corporations for profit, designed as servants to humanity. Chakats were created by a non-profit institute who wanted to produce worthy heirs to humanity. Chakats have never had the limitations of gender, speech or intelligence that other recoms were subjected to. All chakats are hermaphrodites, | ||

- | Chakats are generally unable to interbreed with other recom species. Sometimes they can breed successfully with other taurs, such as foxtaurs. Successfully producing children with a bipedal mate may be possible through artificial means, but it would require extensive genetic restructuring of the embryo, and would be quite expensive. | ||

[[Eisshari]]. Long ago the [[Dallen]] civilization founded a colony on [[Annyrion]]. They brought the Eisshari along with them as servants. Later, for reasons unknown, the Dallens abandoned Annyrion, but they left some Eisshari behind. For several thousand years the Eisshari have survived and maintained a primitive culture. Eisshari ruins are found in [[Lopanga]] continent, but no Eisshari live there now. Some of them still live on [[Inaria]] continent, most in the Eissshari quarter of Annyrion City. (note: Very little is determined about the Eisshari. Any player who wants to flesh them out would probably be welcome to do so, but it must be done in consultation with the staff) | [[Eisshari]].
