Beastmen

Beastmen are a collective group of animals that have developed human characteristics. Created before the Fallout of Past's Yonder, Beastmen were genetically engineered by humans on accident. At first human genes were added into animals for scientific testing, along with the creation of chimeras. These early Beastmen were hardly humanoid at all, and never made it beyond the fetus stage of life. However, after the Robot Rebellion, computers, thinking machines, and conscious robots were made illegal and it was considered heresy to manufacture one. Without machines to help humanity make progress as a race, mankind hit a standstill and needed something else to preform the tasks that people could not. Done with giving metal intelligence, humanity decided to advance the human/animal hybrids and developed the first Beastmen.

These Beastmen were the perfect slaves, and in a couple hundred of years, men were finally getting back on track of making some technological progress. To prevent another rebellion, humanity messed with their genes and made sure that some of the Beastmen would not always cooperate with each other. That way different races of Beastmen would fight each other before ganging up on a single human. This worked for hundreds of years until the Fallout of Past's Yonder occured, wiping out plenty of humans and Beastmen alike. A few Beastmen were allowed to enter the vaults, but many of them ended up as food and would eventually degenerate in intelligence and cease to exist. Those that stayed outside the vaults and withstood the nuclear radiation found that life without people was exciting, having something that was once unimaginable to all Beastmen: freedom. Although life was tough for ten thousand years, with many Beastmen fighting each other and the mutants that spawned from some poor souls, many found life a lot better than before the Fallout of Past's Yonder happened.

Eventually humanity left the vaults and had forgot about creating the Beastmen. While cooped up for ten thousand years, a majority of mankind was sickened at the apperance of Beastmen and mutants, finding both to be sinful mockeries of man. Soon war broke out again, this time with humans waging battle against all kinds of races that they found corrupt. With a few groups of Beastmen joining up with the mutants, humanity was pushed to the edge, almost about to loose this war they started and go extinct. However, with some help from a few Luna Mer, Solar Mer, Dwarves and Monsters, a lot of people terraformed the island of Tasmania into Tri-Edward's City. Fortifying the outer rims of the island, a mixture of magic and technology caused the city-state to float in the air, isolating itself from the rest of the world for another ten thousand years. Not even those Beastmen that could fly had the ability to access the area, all shot down upon entering a hundred-mile ratius.

Today many different kinds of Beastmen roam Terra, and when every race is counted as being a "Beastmen" and not its own individual race, make up the largest group of sentients on the planet. Many have formed their own cultures and most Beastmen forget that humans created them in the past. They can be found on every continent and for some, even the oceans. Groups of Beastmen still fight each other, along with the other races on Terra. But that is to be expected of course.
