Androids (or Synthetic Sentientoids) are artificial life forms that have attained sentience and high cognitive function. In Emberwood Coast, they have been granted full rights as any other species in the nation enjoys. They are usually virtually indistinguishable from other humanoids.

Pax Drones

Packilvanian citizens typically undergo implant surgery to connect them to the Hive. As such, privacy and individuality are forgone in favor of connectivity.

Scientists typically would not grant individual species status to slightly modified humanoids, but the Pax have spread so far and wide as to command almost a fifth of the Urth's surface. Therefore, the Pax have been granted a new genus; Insitus Sapiens, from the Latin Insita, meaning "implanted".

Felines

Felines are a species of cat-like humanoids who share both cat and human-like characteristics. Similar to their less evolved counterparts, the species is split into breeds - those these are identified as ethnic groups. These ethnic groups share similar body characteristics, but differ in fur length, fur color, and other traits.

Lupines are a species of wolf-like humanoids who share both wolf and human-like characteristics. Similar to their canine counterparts, the species is split into breeds - those these are identified as ethnic groups. These ethnic groups share similar body characteristics, but differ in fur length, fur color, and other traits.

Vulpines

Main article: Vulpines

Iktisia Levinile, a southern Vekaiyun vulpine

The vulpine sentient race is a specific group of anthropomorphic humanoids with many recognizable "fox" features and characteristics. While not as furry as their animal counterpart, vulpines do in general have similar fur markings, with red and white being the most popular colors. Their bodies consist of a larger brain capable of more precise and faster execution. Senses are heightened. The vulpine body is agile, allowing for good dexterity.

The race is regarded as "thin", as their bodies lack a subcutaneous layer common among humans and humanoid species. This can serve as a determent for adapting to different climates. Furthermore, vulpines tend to lack physical strength due to their small frames. Life expectancy is less than that of an average human.

Two sub-groups exist: the northern and southern variants. Northern variants, which tend to hail from Vulshain, have denser, longer fur due to colder climate conditions. Southern variants, which are commonly found in Vekaiyu, Listonia, Isklevyu, and Yishevyu, have shorter, oily fur, which is useful for swimming.

Humans

Main Article: Humans

Nano Lischt, a citizen of Emberwood

Modern humans are the most populous sentient species on Urth. They are characterized, as are all humanoids, by erect posture and bipedal locomotion; manual dexterity and increased tool use, compared to other animals; and a general trend toward larger, more complex brains and societies. In order to bring scientific clarity to nomenclature, recently the use of Primus Sapiens has been used more than Homo Sapiens by contemporary Terran scientists.
