Animalia (Anthros)
In the immersive world of Project Multiverse, the term “Animalia” encompasses a rich tapestry of beings, blending the traits of animals with the faculties of human-like intelligence and communication. Born from the intricate weave of magical upliftment spells, these creatures walk proudly on two legs, their forms often adorned with a striking fusion of animal and humanoid features. While they could easily be referred to as “Anthro,” these beings have embraced the term “Animalia” as a symbol of their unique identity, embodying the essence of both the animal kingdom and humanity.
Within the vast realm of Animalia, diversity reigns supreme. From the sinuous grace of reptilian beings to the ethereal beauty of avian creatures, and from the primal strength of mammalian hybrids to the enigmatic allure of those embodying marine life, each member of the Animadae family bears the unmistakable mark of their animal heritage. Whether adorned with feathered wings, scaled tails, or fur-covered limbs, every individual reflects a harmonious blend of form and function, a testament to the boundless creativity of the Multiverse.
But it is not merely physical attributes that define the Animalia. Beneath the surface, each species harbors its own unique abilities, honed through generations of evolution and magical adaptation. Some possess heightened senses, allowing them to perceive the world with unparalleled clarity, while others wield elemental powers, harnessing the forces of nature itself. From the swift agility of the cheetah-inspired Swiftclaws to the elemental mastery of the dragon-blooded Wyverns, the diversity of talents among the Animalia knows no bounds.
Yet, despite their myriad differences, the Animalia share a common bond forged by their shared ancestry and shared experiences. Bound by a deep-seated kinship, they navigate the complexities of the Multiverse with resilience and unity, drawing strength from their diversity and collective wisdom. And though they may walk the line between two worlds, neither fully animal nor wholly human, they stand as living testaments to the beauty of hybridity and the limitless potential of magic. In the world of Project Multiverse, the Animalia are not merely inhabitants; they are pioneers, explorers, and guardians, shaping the fate of their world and beyond with every step they take.

Evolution/Creation
In the annals of cosmic history, the emergence of the Animalians stands as a testament to the boundless ingenuity of the Precursors, enigmatic beings whose mastery of magic and science transcends mortal comprehension. Millennia ago, in a display of unparalleled creativity, these ancient architects of reality embarked on a daring experiment, seeding a pristine world with the raw materials of life itself.
Gathering a menagerie of creatures from across the cosmos, the Precursors carefully selected specimens representing the vast diversity of the animal kingdom. From the towering majesty of giraffes to the cunning prowess of wolves, from the delicate grace of butterflies to the fierce beauty of lions, every species was meticulously chosen, their genetic potential poised to be reshaped by the whims of cosmic artistry.
With meticulous precision, the Precursors guided the evolution of this burgeoning world, sculpting its environment to suit the needs of their chosen creations. Lush forests teemed with life, rivers flowed with crystal-clear waters, and mountains soared majestically towards the heavens, providing the perfect backdrop for the grand experiment unfolding upon its surface.
And then, with a flourish of incantations and the flicker of cosmic energy, the transformation began. A radiant cascade of light swept across the land, infusing the very essence of the planet with the transformative power of magic. As the spell took hold, the animals underwent a profound metamorphosis, their bodies suffused with the subtle essence of humanity.
At first, the changes were subtle. The creatures stood taller, their forms elongating and straightening until they walked proudly upon two legs, their gait mirroring that of their newfound human progenitors. Minds once bound by instinct now blossomed with intellect, as the infusion of human genes bestowed upon them the gift of reason and comprehension. No longer driven solely by primal urges, they gazed upon the world with eyes that beheld its wonders with a newfound sense of wonder and curiosity.
But it was the final touch of the spell that truly set the Animalians apart. Where once they possessed claws and paws, they now found themselves endowed with fully formed hands, each bearing five dexterous fingers akin to those of monkeys and apes. With these versatile appendages, they grasped tools, crafted works of art, and forged bonds of kinship that transcended the boundaries of species.
Thus, the Animalians were born, a testament to the boundless potential of magic and the enduring legacy of the Precursors. In their veins flowed the blood of countless creatures, their minds a fusion of animal instinct and human intellect. And as they roamed the verdant landscapes of their newfound home, they carried with them the echoes of a distant past, forever shaped by the creative whims of those who came before.
History
After their evolution was a time of turmoil where beast fought the beast, reptile bit and poisoned reptile and beast, and Avians just flew or if they had to ambush with talons and claws. This was until the Lions had risen to the top. Lead by a lion that was banished from their pride as a result of mutation. He had created a kingdom that used Fox, and chimp intellect and cunning, to pacify the other animals and have them focus on building a new kingdom.
Once the Kingdom was established and a chain of leadership, and economy, and way of life was made, they began focusing on science and leaving the planet. Animalians are usually wonderers and as such, as the territory is established, there is concern over whether an individual might want to attack and kill them. Though as the years passed, the violence in the species ebbed. They gave the carnivores meat of a new species created through cunning science that developed into cloning.
This seemed to sate the carnivorous need to eat prey, and the prey were allowed to eat the vegetables they loved in peace and work amongst each other. Later on, with the discovery of Fox’s intellect, and their canned species exceptional sense of smell as well as their hearing, Felidae’s agility and climbing ability, Avian’s exceptional eyesight, and the other species special ability, a scientist took the genetics of every species and created a new species that would have all gifts to use as a soldier race.
Unfortunately, this didn’t work out so well. As while they were able to create the species, it was too weak and unusable in battle. It was just too unstable, though the race would be returned again later on after they made the first contact with the Zuphin and their technology advanced to where they now had access to cybernetics.
When the race joined United Alliance of Neutral Systems they added their capability to it. But for some Animadae, it wasn’t enough, and they wanted to go out into the universe and find their fortunes elsewhere. This resulted in some joining the other nations especially the New Dusk Conclave.
Habitat and Population
In the vast expanse of the universe, the habitats of the Animalians span a diverse array of environments, reflecting both the ingenuity of their kind and the adaptability forged through eons of migration and exploration. While some find solace in the subterranean depths, fashioning underground dwellings reminiscent of ancient bomb shelters, others embrace the open skies, crafting lofty abodes among the boughs of towering trees. Yet, regardless of their chosen habitat, one truth remains constant: the Animalians are a ubiquitous presence throughout the sector, their influence felt far and wide, from the bustling metropolises of the United Alliance of Neutral Systems to the untamed frontiers of the New Dusk Conclave and beyond.
For those who dwell beneath the earth's surface, the subterranean realm offers both sanctuary and security. Deep within the labyrinthine tunnels and caverns, Animalians carve out cozy burrows and cavernous chambers, fortified against the ravages of the elements and the uncertainties of the outside world. Here, amidst the cool embrace of the earth, they find refuge from the chaos above, their homes serving as bastions of stability in an ever-changing universe. Though their dwellings may lack the grandeur of surface architecture, they are imbued with a sense of intimacy and camaraderie, fostering tight-knit communities bound by shared experiences and mutual reliance.
Meanwhile, high above the forest floor, Avian Animalians take to the skies with effortless grace, their wings carrying them to the very canopy of existence. Here, amidst the rustling leaves and dappled sunlight, they fashion elaborate treehouses, their airy abodes suspended among the branches like jewels in a verdant crown. From these lofty perches, they enjoy panoramic views of the world below, their homes a testament to the boundless spirit of exploration and adventure that courses through their veins. Yet, despite their affinity for the heavens, many Avian Animalians maintain connections to the earth, often choosing to reside in traditional homes alongside their grounded brethren, bridging the divide between sky and soil with ease.
But it is not merely habitat that defines the Animalians; it is their unwavering spirit of wanderlust and discovery that truly sets them apart. From the bustling streets of cosmopolitan cities to the remote outposts of distant colonies, they traverse the stars with a sense of purpose and determination, their presence felt in every corner of the sector. Whether as traders, diplomats, or adventurers, they leave an indelible mark upon the tapestry of galactic civilization, their contributions shaping the course of history and forging bonds of friendship that span the vast expanse of space and time. In the ever-shifting mosaic of the Multiverse, the Animalians are not merely inhabitants; they are pioneers, explorers, and ambassadors of goodwill, their presence a testament to the enduring power of unity and cooperation in the face of adversity.
Biology
The diversity among the Animalians extends beyond their physical forms and habitats to the very essence of their biology. As carbon-based life forms, they possess a remarkable versatility in their dietary preferences, able to consume a wide array of foods in accordance with their individual needs and tastes. From the succulent fruits of the forest to the savory meats of the hunt, their culinary traditions reflect the rich tapestry of their cultural heritage and the bountiful resources of their homeworlds.
Yet, beneath this outward diversity lies a fundamental distinction that sets certain Animalians apart: the nature of their blood. While some members of the species are endowed with the warmth of circulating blood, others find solace in the cool embrace of their cold-blooded kin. This dichotomy of blood physiology not only shapes their metabolic processes but also influences their behavior, preferences, and adaptations to their respective environments.
For the warm-blooded Animalians, life pulses with the steady rhythm of internal warmth, their bodies maintaining a constant temperature regardless of the external conditions. Endowed with an innate ability to regulate their metabolic rates, they thrive in a wide range of climates, from the icy wastes of polar regions to the sweltering heat of equatorial jungles. Blessed with boundless energy and endurance, they are well-suited to pursuits that demand sustained activity, whether it be hunting, gathering, or engaging in complex social interactions.
Conversely, the cold-blooded Animalians draw sustenance from the ambient temperatures of their surroundings, their metabolic processes dictated by the ebb and flow of external heat. While this may render them more susceptible to fluctuations in temperature, it also bestows upon them a unique set of adaptations tailored to their specific needs. Basking in the warm glow of sunlight or seeking refuge in the cool shadows of the underbrush, they exhibit a keen awareness of their environment, using its rhythms to their advantage in the pursuit of survival.
Despite these physiological differences, the warm-blooded and cold-blooded Animalians share a common bond forged by their shared ancestry and collective experiences. Whether basking in the sun-dappled serenity of a woodland glade or huddling together for warmth in the depths of a subterranean burrow, they find strength in unity and solidarity in diversity. And as they navigate the trials and triumphs of life in the Multiverse, they stand as living testaments to the resilience and adaptability of carbon-based life, their presence a testament to the endless possibilities inherent in the tapestry of creation.
Anatomy and Physiology
The physical attributes of the Animalians reflect the rich tapestry of their genetic heritage, a mosaic woven from the strands of countless species that once roamed the wilds of their ancestral homeworlds. Standing proudly alongside their humanoid counterparts, the average Animalian male boasts a height of 176.5 cm, while their female counterparts tend to be slightly shorter, averaging at 163 cm. However, within this spectrum of heights lies a vast array of variations, ranging from diminutive individuals to towering giants, each bearing the distinctive traits of their animal ancestry.
Indeed, the diversity among the Animalians is as boundless as the stars themselves. Some are adorned with luxurious fur, their bodies wrapped in a tapestry of soft pelts that offer both warmth and protection against the elements. Others boast shimmering scales that glint like jewels in the sunlight, their sleek forms evoking the grace and majesty of the serpentine creatures from which they draw their lineage. And then there are those whose bodies are adorned with feathers, their vibrant plumage reminiscent of the avian species that once soared through the skies.
But it is not merely external features that define the Animalians; it is the very essence of their biology that sets them apart. Warm-blooded creatures pulse with the vitality of internal heat, their bodies maintaining a constant temperature that fuels their boundless energy and endurance. Yet, alongside these warm-blooded brethren, there exist those whose metabolisms are governed by the ambient temperatures of their surroundings, their cold-blooded nature necessitating periods of hibernation during the chill of winter, much like the Ursin species with whom they share this trait.
In matters of reproduction, the Animalians exhibit a remarkable diversity of strategies, reflecting the myriad adaptations of their ancestral lineages. Reptiles and birds lay eggs, nurturing their young within protective shells until they are ready to hatch into the world. Meanwhile, mammals and other live-bearing species bring forth their offspring into the world fully formed, their bodies serving as the cradle of life for their developing young.
And yet, despite the vast array of physical forms and reproductive strategies, the Animalians share a common bond forged by their shared experiences and collective aspirations. From the bustling cities of their homeworlds to the uncharted frontiers of the universe, they stand united in their pursuit of knowledge, understanding, and the timeless quest for unity amidst diversity. And as they gaze towards the stars, they do so with hearts full of hope and minds open to the infinite possibilities that lie beyond the horizon.
Genetics
While Animadae can have intercourse with Zuphin and give birth to offspring, they can't mate with another race to have kids with them as their genetics won't work that way. Only the Zuphin with the trait of the mutated slug can do so.
Life Cycle
The species since its creation can be further created as a result of intercourse. After a duration of time depending on the species, a child is born, whether without the aid of another or with it. Depending on their species, they can reach adulthood or old age much earlier than the other species. Of course, technology can help to allow for equal aging.
Diet
Primarily meat, though a few species like those descendants of Rabbits, Deer, and others prefer a vegetarian diet.
Biological Variation
Much like humans Animadae are a diverse people, with the potential to have some of the same blood types as humans from AB, A, B, C, D, and O. The race is split up into three main species like humans. They are Mammals, Reptiles, and Avians. These three affect the trait of individuals as a result of their heritage.
Avians
Avians have feathers their limbs end in dexterous talons, and they have beaks. They also have wings on their backs allowing them to fly. A few of the Avians, have excellent eyesight without the use of technology. They are fast fliers better than any pilots as they have a keen instinct when it comes to flying. They eat insects, and as such new species were created for them to eat
Reptilians
The reptilians have scales covering their bodies and they are cold-blooded and love the heat, which is why they have moved to the planet Repton due to its closeness it was a warm world. A high percentage is poisonous allowing for the production of poison in the black market as the UNS dislikes using it in war. Reptilians make great engineers. Reptilians are meat-eaters, and so non-sentient creatures were cloned for them to eat.
Mammals
Mammals make up a huge percentage after Reptilians and they share some of the abilities. Certain species have an excellent sense of smell and tracking ability. A few like Felines have claws, as did certain other Mammals. And few have fangs like the Reptilians, but theirs are bigger and there's a lack of poison. They can be anything they want to be in terms of employment. Mammals are Omnivores, they eat plants as well as meat.
Omni Soldier
The Omni Species were an attempt at creating a soldier race to fight for them, but there were problems early on. Cold-blooded and Warm-blooded don’t mix well, and Avians have a different body type to the other animals leaving the Omni Species very weak and almost dying until new technology was developed that helped them with some of the shortcomings. The species is rare in the sector being only seen in the UNS nation.
Psychology
Motivation and Emotion
In their past, they lived by the philosophy of survival of the fittest. This meant that those weak and couldn’t fight were killed, but that all changed when a wise and noble King decided to take care of things and to bring peace to this new kingdom. Now its exploration and understanding which was primarily driven by their wandering desire. They desire to explore new worlds ad seek fortune and fame elsewhere. While some may not like the peaceful neutrality of the United Alliance of Neutral Systems and so they would seek out battle elsewhere. There were some Animadae that are lazy in that they like lounging and prefer that over work, but there were members of that same Animadae that like to work.
Their behavior can also match those of humans if grown amongst them.
Sexuality and Love
Their sexuality and love is the exact same as humans
Culture
Language
They speak common to other species and races, but some Animalians like Felidae can communicate with each other a different way that isnt detectable by any other species in the sector.
Naming
They might call each other affectionate names, and it is possible for them to be given names that a human might call their pets. Like Fang for example. Their last name depends on the region where they were born.
The Arts
They don’t actually have art of their own, though few Animadae began learning. This is the same for Music and paintings and such. As they are a part of the UNS, or the NDC and so on, they will learn there.
Attire
Mammals tend to not wear clothes as they are already covered in fur. They think it a great insult if their outfit is made out of animal hide, But clothes made out of other materials may be worn if they are light. Avians tend to wear outfits similar to the Icarians 1). Reptiles do wear special outfits to keep them warm.
Philosophy
Their philosophy may be shaped by their environment making it truly unique to them.
Society
Kinship
When two Reptilian, Mammals or Avian Animadae love each other they date, and eventually, after a period they get married. Then they have families by sticking what they call a Key (male genitals) into the lock (you get the point) and after a duration of time gestation for specific species families form with kids. Things like a single-gender couple aren't an issue for them.
Government and Politics
Animadae have organized themselves into a Kingdom, led by a king. Those who are clever and intelligent more than what had been given were organized into a Department of Intelligence where they think things and create technological creations. Those strong like gorilla, hippos, and such strong and durable species are organized in another department where they could put their strength and durability to good use. The other species were similarly organized though the military does use species from all groups.
Conflict
The race can be violent if pushed or bothered, they will strike, slash, peck and even bite back at the annoyance that kills them. Though there has been a millennia-long attempt at curving this aggressive streak. It will likely take time to get over their previous animal nature. The King has attempted to create a Tribunal to handle all issues,
