Glossary/Races

Humans
The most populous race in the Gurhal system, humans are the progenitors of all the races.

Their strength, lifespan, and other characteristics are largely the same as that of humans on Earth, and their abilities are well-balanced.

Casts
Casts were originally created to serve humans, but the emergence of self-aware casts with free will led to a long and heated struggle over human and cast rights. Years of strife led to the current system, in wich casts dominate the administration of human society on Parum.

The rational, logical approach favored by the casts is a large advantage in managing a planetary government, but they have a tendency to be relatively strict and inflexible.

Casts can summon and use SUV weapons.

Newmans
A race resulting from human efforts to create a new, superior breed of human.

The genetic engineering that produced them was focused on the enhancement of mental abilities, and as a result the average newman has reaction speeds, intelligence, and memory that easily best a human's, but theyr physical abilities are significantly less developed.

Their greated mental abilities make newmans well-suited to the use of Technics, but the lack of physical prowess makes them vulnerable in melee combat.

Beasts
A race genetically engineered to survive in the harsh climate and working conditions of the mines on Moatoob.

They are said to have strong senses of family and loyalty and can be destrustful of other races.

On average, their physical abilities are significantly greater than other races, and they are born with the ability to nanoblast, a technique by wich they transform into a larger, more physically powerful form.
