This is copied from an old post I made a year or so ago. Note that it only outlines plans for three of the 5 races we currently have. I WANT to have the 5 races we have, so don't worry. Actually, I did have plans for the missing two races, somewhere. I'll keep looking.

We'll probably want to revise this all yet again, as it gives rather a lot of distinction to only three races, which could be spread out amongst 5 instead.

Terran:
Characteristics: strategic, technologically advanced, honourable, shape-shifting, physically resilient, enlightened.

The Terran race is the living successor to the Human race. Through centuries of genetic advancements and biogenic warfare, the Terran race grew to be enlightened beings, endowed with extremely robust DNA.

Capable of healing wounds rapidly; even regenerating missing limbs (with the help of some tools).
The lifespan of the average Terran is fast approaching 300 years. Some Terrans exhibit even stranger mutations. They are able to physically alter their appearance, even forming complex tools and weaponry from their body. Only the most skilled, ancient Terran are noted to possess this trait.

Dredd:
Characteristics: aggressive, relentless, dishonourable, technologically advanced.

The very mention of this race is enough to strike fear into the hearts of many a civilisation.  They are an ancient race of mechanical killing machines, hellbent on galactic domination. Their true origins are unknown.

It is said that the first Dredd were the creation of an ancient and powerful race, intended for conquest and defense of their empire. The legend tells of how the Dredd, having the desire only for victory, slaughtered the beings they were sworn to protect. If anything is truly evil, it is the Dredd - they know nothing but hatred for all sentient life.

They don't reproduce - they manufacture! Their technology is unmatched. Even the Terrans lack the destructive power that the Dredd wield so readily. The only thing that keeps the Terrans from becoming another enslaved world is their incredible resourcefulness.

Kraal:
Characteristics: aggressive, supernatural/religious, honourable, fearless.

The Kraal are a race steeped in tradition, honour and spirituality. Their Gods are strong and actively influence their civilisation. Above all else, the Kraal follow the pursuit of honour. Formidable foes, they are ready to fight until their hearts stop beating.

Their spiritual abilities and sheer willpower allow them to endure an incredible amount pain. The most powerful Kraal warriors are said to be capable of teleportation, summoning energy balls and much more. Their Empire spans many light years, making them difficult to uproot.

----------

In summary:
We essentially have three races, covering all of the previous bases: Man, Mutant, Monster, Ghost, Alien, Machine.
- Terrans are man+mutant.
- Dredd are alien+machine.
- Kraal are alien+ghost+monster.
