During your time on station you may find yourself face to face (or face to mirror) with the not quite human. Be they aliens, mutated humans, or self aware constructs you're expected to try and coexist on this deathtrap. Learning their quirks can be key to knowing how to keep them amicable in times of peace, and easy to put down in times of strife.

On the station humans enjoy a degree of superiority over other races, everyone you meet in a position of power will generally be a human. By default, the [[AI]] will apply the protections of its laws ONLY to humans, though they may extend that protection to other races out of preference provided doing so doesn't harm humans. Should a conflict arise between a human and another race, expect the AI to take the human's side.

* Strength in numbers.
|Humans are the most common of all races aboard Space Station 13, and are all-rounders who gain no significant benefits nor weaknesses besides a degree of superiority and respect from Central Command. Nanotrasen doesn't trust any other species to run their stations to the degree a human can, let alone bear the rank of Captain.

Over the course of a shift, you or someone you know may lose their humanity. These races are not born, but made. These players are less likely to be the targets of racism, as many may simply acknowledge their former humanity, but are none the less NOT human anymore.

Lumbering people of shining stone, adamantine golems are born into the servitude of their creators.

These races have very few ways to come about, and often rely on very rare situations to exist at all. You will almost never have to deal with them, but should be aware of them all the same for when the time comes.

The skeleton within, unleashed! Somehow still alive, a skeleton is just a sack of stark white bones. Clattering spooks, due to their supernatural qualities they're almost always associated with wizards. Skeletons enjoy a wide selection of useful immunities, just don't expect the crew to ever enjoy looking at you ever again.

Rotted remains of former humans, brought almost all the way back to life. Unlike the zombies you find in movies, these zombies don't crave your brains despite what they might be compelled to say sometimes. It's perfectly possible to coexist with these zombies, though understanding their slurring speech might drive some to wish it wasn't.

===Jellypeople===
|Humanoid robots, disguised as an organic race. When damaged enough, their fake flesh will fall off and has to be repaired with synthflesh.
[[File:jellypeople.png]]
|
 
*Immune to all chemicals but synthflesh.
Bizarre three eyed beings with innervated skeletons immersed in a jelly frame. Their appearance is ghastly and utterly alien, though for some strange reason they almost seem nostalgic. They are functionally equivalent to slimepeople in almost all regards.
*Immune to radiation.

Though they function equivalently to their adamantine brothers the source of these traditional golems is implied to be magical in nature. Golems generally do not have masters when they appear, though they suffer all the same problems adamantine do otherwise.
|Humanlike robots, distant cousins of synths. A similar result can be achieved by fully augmenting a human.

|Alien beings sent here to probe the station's crew. They cannot speak normally, but instead use a special frequency tuned to their mothership: different abductor teams have separate channels. Abductors created in different ways share a common abductor channel instead, and cannot hear natural abductors.

|They function equivalently to their adamantine counterpart; they are made in Free Golem ships by completing printed golem shells. Unlike adamantine golems, they are not compelled to serve their creator, and can be made out of different minerals, although that will only change their appearance.

=How To Pick A Race=
To play one of the mentioned races, there are many overlapping options:
*Roundstart races can be selected in the character-settings (where you would specify your haircolor, job-preferences etc.). Some might be restricted though.
*Admins, so consider the in-character praying or the out of character ahelp if you want to request a race. Provided you have a worthy reason of course.
*Mutation toxins change your race and randomise your appearance. Ask xenobiology for some:
**Stable Mutation Toxin ('''Human''')
** Mutation Toxin ('''Slimepeople''')
**Imperfect Mutation Toxin ('''Jellypeople''')
**Shadow Mutation Toxin ('''Shadowpeople''')
** '''Abductor''' Mutation Toxin
**'''Android''' Mutation Toxin
**'''Ash''' Mutation Toxin
**'''Felinid''' Mutation Toxin
**'''Fly''' Mutation Toxin
**'''Golem''' Mutation Toxin
**'''Lizard''' Mutation Toxin
**'''Moth''' Mutation Toxin
**'''Plasma''' Mutation Toxin
**'''Podperson''' Mutation Toxin
** '''Skeleton''' Mutation Toxin
**'''Zombie''' Mutation Toxin
*Some special effects, including zombification by transmission
Make sure to consult the race-articles for specific information.
