Humans spread from arm to arm of the galaxy. But something happened along the way. A story of technological advancement and controversy in the field of genetic bioengineering.
The "species" that started for many years as niche genetic body modding became the Felinids, now widespread after an recent bioterror attack involving Nanotrasen's once common cloning technology. Cloning has been kept away from the public intentionally for this reason, and is only kept internally (places like Central Command) and under exceptionally tight quality control to avoid future incidents.


=History=
Mutants like Felinids, though closer to humanity than other species, are still barred from higher positions in the [[Chain of Command|chain of command]].
Felinids are humans who have had their genomes spliced with genetic sequences derived from various species of Terran felines, and they possess many physical felinoid traits like extended canine teeth. They go by the scientific name ''Homo sapiens cattus''. They are on the short list of 'tolerated abhuman strains' maintained by the Administratum, which means that at one point in the story of the Nanotrasen someone high up (probably an Admin with a furry fetish) decided they were a-okay and did not need to get purged (yet).

Felinids (sometimes referred to as catpeople) are an optional playable race. You can make a felinid character in the character panel, and change aspects of its appearance such as the presence of tails or ears.


Felinids "meow" when speaking which betrays their identity even if their tail and cat ears are removed. They don't have any specific naming scheme and are usually named just the same as any human would. Felinids can also speak in their own language, Nekomimetic, an incomprehensible and annoying mess of broken Japanese and cat sounds. Speaking Nekomimetic in front of the the rest of the crew might cause problems (for you), especially over the radio.

A: That’s a fucking stupid question, but that’s OK – it’s probably to be expected of autistic antiweeb

crusaders such as people who would even bother reading this FAQ instead of just skipping to
the racial stats. The answer is that cat girls are a truly essential PC race in any and all <s>D&D</s> games.


In fact, they’re so essential to the game that in Chainedmale (Gary Gaygax’s first whack at the

Not only that but, given people were such unimaginative fucks, the cat girl PC race was
simultaneously its own class. Well, at least Gary Gaygax understood the importance of cat girls!


Q: How can I incorporate cat girls into my setting?
Being shunned from the public as a whole for being genetic freaks, felinids are often known for sticking together for protection and company. More adventurous individuals among them are known to attempt to make friends outside the catpeople communities, but are rarely successful outside a few instances from more welcoming crew members.

Q: I want to play as a cat girl, but my <s>DM</s> admin won’t let me. What should I do?
Being an extremely new "race" with no history or prior ties besides their time as a human most felinids aren't that different from humans in personality aside from the odd feline trait/instinct.

girl anyway. Starting at level two as a warlock, you can cast disguise self at will as an invocation.
Once you reach 15th level you can cast alter self at will as an invocation. Once you hit level 17 you
get true polymorph and you’re golden. As a moon druid, you get the Thousand Forms circle
feature at level 14, which lets you cast alter self at will a level earlier than warlock gets it, though
you’ll sadly never have access to true polymorph. As a wizard, you get access to all the normal
spells (disguise self, alter self, true polymorph) and, of course, wish. I can think of nothing more
worthy of a suicidal casting of wish than to turn each and every humanoid on the material plane
into a cat girl. The gods will surely smile upon your heroic sacrifice for the greater good.

experts of diplomacy and finding alternative ways to make their dreams reality when things go

and studious as the average cat girl is, it’s no wonder that cat girls also make such top-of-the-line
wizards. I hope that answers your question!
That concludes this FAQ segment. I hope you now have a better understanding of the depth, utility,
and general import of cat girls as a D&D 5e PC race.


== Cat Girl Traits ==
As Humanity's knowledge of genetics and the code behind it expanded, gene clinics became a common sight across Earth, offering miraculous solutions to previously debilitating illnesses. Everything from cancer, to Parkinsons, to prion diseases, became a concern of the past. And soon, bespoke genetic treatment for cosmetic purposes became commonplace, too. Humans became the masters of their own bodies, able to change their appearances to fit their whims, and so, inevitably, came treatments that were broader in scope.


Your cat girl character has many unique and potent traits inherent to your noble bloodline.
One of these many available treatments was Animalisation- utilising specific aspects of animal DNA, humans could be altered to have desired traits from them. Despite their availability, animalisation treatments were (and are) viewed as a step too far, as they go beyond simple alteration of the human genome and into the realms of adulterating it with foreign DNA. Mutants of these types came to be viewed as no longer human, both by the public consciousness and by laws, and those receiving the treatments were shunned, leading them to coalesce into insular communities, and (many) to leave life in the Home Sector for the colonies.

Not long ago, Nanotrasen scientists discovered the secret of cheating death. Cloning technology was one of the many great scientific advancements of the 26th century, allowing those rich (or lucky) enough to have access to it to be returned to life in the event of their untimely demise. The technology was, understandably, heralded as a miracle for modern medicine, but beneath the surface lurked a dangerous secret.

It was known during development that the genetic code that is used by cloning to reconstruct the body was exceptionally fragile, and even the smallest impurities in the reagents used for the process could result in genetic deformities. Usually, these deformities manifested as small, undetectable issues- a little change here, a loss of function there, perhaps a "healthy" dose of cancer. These could be corrected by genetic treatment, so were not particularly concerning. But what could happen if there was a large scale contamination? Scientists had been limited in their capacity for experimentation in this field by regulations against human experimentation, but it was theorised that it would cause massive, irreversible damage to their genes, beyond even the reach of humanity's sophisticated genetic science. Unfortunately, this theory would finally be proven accurate on Monday, the 14th of January, 2560.

And so, an entire batch of Hyperclone Reagent A was contaminated, and nobody would be the wiser. This plant serviced every Nanotrasen cloning clinic within the Home sector, as well as several Spinward Stations which were experimenting with new cloning techniques, and over the next few weeks, they would each receive their new shipments.

Customers who had been cloned were found to be developing alarming side effects. There were the large and obvious ones, of course. The ears. The tails. Fixations on bright lights. But also a number of more subtle changes were observed too- altered mental states, changed tastes, new personalities. They were exhibiting all the signs of felinisation- but that was impossible, surely? Ordinarily this required months of intensive genetic therapy, and cloning was unlikely to produce such specific results over such a wide range.


Of course, this prompted a massive outcry by the public, as this was far too large scale to cover up. Nanotrasen's immediate response was to close all cloning clinics immediately, and begin an investigation as to what went wrong. Before long, the contamination was found in samples of HRA, and the sudden disappearance of Ms. Normandy was noted. She was apprehended by Terragov police at a spaceport while attempting to board a flight to Harvest- presumably to lay low. However, during questioning, she suddenly died- having had a remote implant in her brain detonated by her unknown employer. And so, with no effective scapegoat, Nanotrasen was forced to bear the brunt of the incident.


=The Future=
Knowing that the public would never regain trust in the process following an incident of this scale, Nanotrasen officially permanently closed all cloning facilities on the 4th of February, 2560, and cancelled all official research into the technology. Cloning would remain in use by the company afterwards, but only internally with exceptionally tight quality control.
The public opinion towards the ethics of allowing such an unfortunate creature to continue living is changing, and NanoTrasen is likely to initialize euthanization programs within the next quarter.
