@Dark Cloud Sounds great! We would love to have you. ^_^

@Zanavy Thank you. Seems like I'll need to move the character sheet, two people have asked so it must not be intuitive. I'll be moving it back to OOC.

@LostButterfly92 Either tab is okay. It's just hard to find right in the middle of a lengthy lore post. The very top of OOC or Characters would be good.

I didn't have as much free time today as I anticipated, but I did somewhat revamp the character tab (decided to keep the application there), and added a little bit to the OOC (some NPC people and locations, Eukary mascot/colors info). Eventually, I will add a rough timeline, but not tonight. Please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions!

At some point, humans would've had to go from "obviously dominant sapient species" to "most people think poorly of them." How did this drastic change happen? Was there a war, more of a cold war propaganda against humans, erasure of human history? And are these things we should know or be left unknown?

@Zanavy @Crystal Amalgam

Honestly, I've been kind of making up the history and lore as we go. Feel free to share your thoughts and ideas. But right now, this is how I imagine it....

Humans lost their place as dominant species probably around the fall of the Roman Empire (a human civilization). This is approximately the time most animal species had reached average human level intelligence, which was the humans species' greatest advantage.

Animals retained many of their best adaptations, natural weapons, defenses, and senses. In comparison, humans were blind, deaf, and nose blind, and defenseless without weapons. Many human civilizations fell to other apex predators such as wolves, big cats, and larger primates.

Humans still tend to turn out the greatest minds--that is, scientists, philosophers, inventors, and the like. The human ability to create technology is what has kept humans one step ahead of the rest. This is why humans still make up about 1/10 of the earth's humanoid population, despite the vast number of different humanoid species that exist.

As a whole, humans tend to be more sickly than other animals. They have more sedentary lifestyles, eat more unnatural, processed foods, and partake more often in drugs and alcohol. Human curiosity has also resulted in a greater number of diseases and illnesses due to human experimentation and accidental release of different virus and bacteria.

Many species simply find humans unattractive due to their skin, which makes their sickliness more apparent. Human blemishes, such as pimples, bruises, moles, bug bites, and scars, are easily seen on bare skin.

But I digress. Human hate began with the enslavement and farming of intelligent animals. While they were not the only species guilty of it, they were the species who practiced it the most. The hatred has been perpetuated by the evil acts of many human individuals and groups, and made worse by the use of animal propaganda.

Humans are most common in China, Japan, and Germany. In these countries, humans are highly regarded and other animal species are second class citizens. Africa, South America, and the Middle East are primarily ruled by big cats, and humans are looked down upon. In most other parts of the world, humans are less common and are usually viewed on the same level as other animals. The United States perhaps has the greatest mix of animal species in the world and it has been a role model in the fight for equality.

In US history, humans have usually been the enemy. The Revolutionary War was primarily faught against humans, the Confederates in the Civil War were mostly human, and the Nazi were mostly human. Despite this, many early leaders of the country were human. Today, humans still have the same right as every other animal in the country.

(I'll try to make you guys a timeline sometime soon. )

As for a Human/Animal History Class, that sounds like a good idea. =) Go for it!

@LostButterfly92 Sounds pretty good for "making it up as we go along." It makes more sense for conflict than the original, sweeping "everyone looks down on humans." Depending on location, humans can be revered or reviled. It would cause some culture shock for people from different cultures (i.e. a university).

Fun fact: The official word for "nose blind" is "anosmic." If you want to be obnoxiously impressive.

@Zanavy I plan for my character to have two afternoon classes, which end at 5pm. The rest of the evening is available. Right now she is on lunch, and maybe she will go to the Warren if others are hanging out there. =)

I wanted to put Corrie in a class with some other PC. I missed much of my chance to make early connections, and it would make statistical sense for some of these people to have a class together (so far nobody has been in the same class as another PC). Just putting out my idea, will wait for other people to respond.

@Zanavy Sharing classes would be great, but we have a lot of majors going on. I can retcon things as needed, though. =)

My character is an art major, and I wanted her to have drawing, painting, and photography. The Gen Ed I'm willing to change up. History, science, math, english, language.

I was thinking gen eds anyway. A lot of the characters are artsy, but Corrie is in science/medicine/technobabble. But she's in her first semester so it would make sense to have some gen eds.
