- The end status has a total stats of 91, regardless of the race.

Total: 88 + 3 extra stats
(Extra: Old Angeles)
The minotaurs get their name from their massive size (usually over 7 feet) and their two-feet long horns pointing upward, which develop from nubs soon after puberty. Those horns regenerate rather quickly, growing by up to an inch per week, and there is a thriving market for powdered minotaur horns, usually as a potency medicine.
Note: Most powdered minotaur horn is fake. Always make sure to purchase from minotaurs themselves.

Native country: Central Americas
Thirsters STR 14 AGI 14 DEX 14 AUT 15 PER 16 EMP 15
Total: 88 + 3 extra stats
(Extra: Old Angeles)
Despite their reputation, Thirsters (or "vampires") don't have extra-large canines. They, however, can subsist on a diet of animal blood with an additional protein source, although it is not a necessity, more of a cultural quirk. And they love garlic.

The Trolls of the Caribbean are the sole species on the island of Puerto Rico. There are persistent rumors that the baseline human communities that survived the Fall were exterminated by the Trolls during the chaotic decades of the Fall. Trolls are characterized by an immense size - the average Troll reaches 7' tall at puberty - and actually keep growing in size until their old age. An 9' tall Troll is not uncommon.

(A Small Timeline of the Changed World)

The Kobolds are now extinct, exterminated by the Fae tribes of Europe in 2102.
Native Country: Lac Léman, Switzerland
Halioi STR 16 AGI 18 DEX 14 AUT 13 PER 15 EMP 13
Total: 89 + 2 extra stat
(Book 2 Extra: The Wanderer)
Named after the Theoi Halioi, or "gods of the sea", the Halioi are one of the two quasi-aquatic Changed species known to exist. They keep a generally humanoid shape, but with extremely streamlined features, a bulbous domed head, and rubbery skin. Despite legs and arms, they are extremely good swimmers and easily manage 10 minutes of apnea.
It is rumored that the infants are particularly not suited to swimming until puberty, but given their relative isolation, not much is known about that aspect of their biology. Despite the apparent lack of external primary or secondary sexual characteristics, they are indeed a normal dimorphic mammalian species.
Native Country: Island of Lesbos, Medditerranean
Spaceborne STR 17 AGI 13 DEX 13 AUT 17 PER 17 EMP 14
Total: 91, no extra stat

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun. The Topps Company, Inc. has granted permission to the Blake Island on Royal Road to use such names, logos, artwork, marks and/or any proprietary materials for promotional and informational purposes on its website but does not endorse, and is not affiliated with Blake Island on Royal Road in any official capacity whatsoever.
