Apologies to Alex in advance
ThunderianYou’re a Thunderian, descended from the feline lords of the planet Thundera. Your skin is covered in a short pelt, and you possess claws, fangs and excellent night vision. The colors and patterns of your fur vary immensely dependant upon your heritage, ranging from orange with black stripes or spots, to the color of dry grass. It may even be jet black!
Your early life was spent on Thundera or one of its colony worlds, and your youth was a strange mix of pursuing enlightened culture, and following feral instinct. You are lithe and quick on your feet, and you are a natural predator. Also, since the destruction of Thundera it is unlikely that you know of the existence of more than just a handful of your kinsmen, so you are very loyal to the friends that you have.
