Humans in Paradox are relatively similar to humans in your world. They can only be born with yellow, brown, black, and orange hair. And their eyes only come in brown, gray, hazel, green, and blue. They are associated with existence elements.
Dragons look similar to humans, but can have any color hair and eyes, and usually have a few draconic features that your world is used to. Horns and a thick based, pointed tail are the most common. Less common are fangs and scales. And the rarest draconic traits are wings and claws. They are associated with reality elements. They often have an innate need to obsessively collect things, and it could be anything, and this quickly turns to hoarding. Oddly enough the most common dragon hoard is knowledge, not valuables.
Thirdly, lacuna. Lacuna are, again, human looking, except they have one, maybe two animal traits. Feline and fox lacuna are the most common. Anything beyond that is rare. They too can have any color of eyes and hair.
Celestials are a thing in Paradox as well. Their hair and eyes can only come in white, light green, soft blue, silver, and gold. Their skin comes in the same colors. They often have odd traits like hair that shines like metal, or skin that sparkles in light. They are associated to the elements of light, life, creation, water, and wind.
Infernals are the opposite of celestials. Their eyes, skin, and hair came in red, gray, dark blue, and purple. They are associated to the elements of darkness, death, destruction, fire, and ice. Both infernals and celestials can only come into existence through a silver fallen shedding its fallen nature. Whether it becomes an infernal or a celestial depended on whether it wanted to be chaotic or good.

These are the five races that make up the “pure” races of Paradox, however there are races that come from mixed blood. Notice that they each have an elemental affiliation. These are just elements they're associated with. In reality any creature can use any elements they choose.

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.
