Choosing a digitgrade leg structure for your Unathi character means that you will be unable to wear typical footwear, and as such will need to be wary of floor-based hazards, such as broken glass or broken lightbulbs.

Line 38: Line 37:
Unathi males stand from six to seven feet tall on average, with females being anywhere from five and a half to six and a half feet tall. A healthy weight for males is around 210 pounds (including the tail), with a typical range of roughly 20 pounds in either direction. A healthy weight for females is around 180 pounds, with an equivalent typical range of roughly 20 pounds in either direction.

Unathi legs come in either plantigrade (flat footed) or digitgrade (backwards jointed leg) structure, due to vast genetic drift on Moghes. Many Unathi view digitigrade legs as a sign of pure heritage, hearkening back to their reptilian and draconic ancestors, whilst other Unathi view digitgrade legs as a biological flaw; a complicated and ultimately vestigial structure that prevents the wearing of most modern day footwear.
Unathi tongues are bifurcated, bearing a unique fork down the center. Their tongues are sensitive to smells and variances in atmosphere, akin to snakes, and they give the Unathi a distinctive hiss when speaking. This lisp is oftentimes ridiculed or found annoying by Humans, which has led to some Unathi seeking tongue transplants as a way to better integrate into Human society.
Unathi eyes tend to be stronger than Humans, able to perceive things more sharply as many generations of their species were hunter-gatherers on the surface of Moghes. They are also skilled at tracking motion, but are occasionally fooled by things that remain very still.

Line 51: Line 55:
Another three decades passed in relative prosperity for the Unathi. With a central government of its own, Moghes flourished, utilizing the technology brought in by Nanotrasen to become a modernized society, even while still suffering societal suppression at the hands of Humankind. Then in the year 2550, Nanotrasen made another bold move, in creating and signing the Species Equality Act alongside the UEG. This Act delegated Unathi to be afforded new employment opportunities, declaring them to be closer to equal to Human laborers. With this Act, Unathi were now able to hold low-level jobs in UEG and Nanotrasen facilities, being adequately compensated and respected for the work they were doing. Four years after this Act, with Unathi proving themselves to be able to adapt to the jobs set before them, an amendment was passed by Nanotrasen and the UEG, proclaiming Unathi to be able to serve in most all positions in UEG and Nanotrasen facilities, excluding Command roles (excepting in a emergency situations). With these back to back vesting of new rights upon their people, the Unathi civilization again experienced a cultural revolution, with a universe of new opportunities opening up for any and all of the race. Many modern Unathi now find themselves working in security and engineering roles, but many have proven themselves as inspired physicians and brilliant scientists as well, a far cry from their prior existence as slave miners.

Unathi tend to form close knit communities with their fellows, and they tend to be wary around Humans, due to a combination of the limited amount of Unathi on station but also due to the harsh treatment their species suffered under Humankind. While many Humans are still somewhat racist towards Unathi due to lingering racial tension, many Unathi tend to hold little ill will towards Humans, and will mostly let these negative feelings go in the spirit of better race relations.


Unathi names are typically two words in Draconic connected by a hyphen, or three words in English, also connected by hyphens. Examples of this are Czark-Azlan, or Fixes-The-Problem.

It is a strong social faux-pas to use an Unathi's first name if not family or extremely close to the Unathi in question. Generally, an Unathi will tell someone when they feel comfortable with the person using their first name.

It is also extremely distressing to an Unathi for people to touch or tug on their tail. To be allowed to touch an Unathi's tail is a sign of deep trust.

Unathi who work with Nanotrasen Security forces also near universally show a near unbreakable show of loyalty to their team. However this can be more attributed to how Nanotrasen Security heavily emphasizes friendship and cooperation between security personnel which thus encourages high loyalty, and is emulative of old Unathi clan structures.

Unathi are very proud, and unwilling to admit weakness or ask for help in most cases. Some view this attitude as arrogant, but they view it as self-sufficient.

Unathi are an optional playable race. You can make an Unathi character in the character panel, and they possess special customization options for appearance such as skin color, spines, horns, and antennae. Unathi attack with their claws to slash and hack people, though this does not deal any additional damage. They also have a pronounced lisp when speaking, and can communicate in Draconic with other Unathi.

'''NOTE''': as an Unathi, the [[AI]] does not consider you human and is not obligated to listen to you and an Asimov AI will often respond lethally should they find you harming a Human. However, this also means the AI can allow you to put yourself into harm's way in a positive manner, such as opening a airlock exposed to space to save someone.

Members of the crew may look down on you for being an Unathi, and it falls to you to exceed their expectation. Hold yourself high and show them what you're made of.
