Earth-1272

Earth-1272 is the universe that Michelle hails from. In this universe the south won the Civil War in America and took over what would have been Canada. All social justice movements such as emancipation of slaves or any sort of equality had never been reached. As a result, they never had any qualms about 'Human Testing' on these minority groups with little or no rights. This lead to the creation and advancement of genetic engineering in advance of what would be common sense and as a result they created anthropomorphic animals by cross contaminating the gene pool. Eventually there was a revolt that saw the humans who used to be on the top of the food chain turned into second class citizens.

The Anthropomorphic animals of Earth-1272 have some common traits (Usually in a Racial EC framework) as well as uncommon powers (Usually in a MP framework) that occur in about 1% of the population. Below is a list of the species that have been defined. It should be noted that most 'group animals' like wolves, lions and herd animals have some form of mental communication with their own kind.

A good idea for designing characters is to look on Wikipedia and popular culture and see what sort of abilities are attributed to them to create their 'racial EC' and spice it up with an extra power or two. An example would be a Rhino would have high strength, some resistant defenses for their thick tough hides though not a huge amount, for unusual powers they might have absorption, an EB symbolizing throwing things and a HKA for their horns and hooves. Below are some mildly defined ones. GM's feel free to use this universe as you please. Keep in mind that racial powers would be well documented, uncommon ones are more 'meta-like' and may vary between individuals (Michelle is an example of this with her Conjoin Dimensions and Strengthen Dimensional Barriers powers) although it is possible some could be learned or taught to others with uncommon powers.

Skunks - Racial Powers (Dimensional Peering, Tail, Tough Fur, Burrow, Skunk Spray, Sidestep (Short range Teleport with a dimensional SFX). Uncommon Powers: Dimensional Jumping, Dimensional Rifts (Attacks which draw effects from nearby dimensions), Dimensional Shunt (push some incoming attack into nearby dimension).

Wolves - Racial Powers (Dexterity, Speed, Weak Mental Powers). Uncommon Powers: Strong Mental Powers (Telepathy, Mind Control)

Lions - Racial Powers (Strength, Dexterity, Weak Mental Powers). Uncommon Powers: Strong Mental Powers (Telepathy, Ego Attack)

Elephants - Racial Powers (Extreme Strength (40+), Strong Defenses, Always-On Growth). Uncommon Powers: High Damage Reduction, Missile Deflection, HKAs (Stomp) or RKAs (throwing things)

NOTE: There are others those are just the ones I have defined.
