During your time on station you may find yourself face to face (or face to mirror) with the not quite human. Be they aliens, mutated humans, or self aware constructs you're expected to try and coexist on this deathtrap. Learning their quirks can be key to knowing how to keep them amicable in times of peace, and easy to put down in times of strife.

Delta-V features a diverse array of playable species, including Arachnids, Diona, Dwarf (removed from Delta-V at the moment), Humans, Moth People, Reptilians, Slime People, Vox, I.P.C.(Integrated Positronic Chassis), Thaven,  Vulpkanin, Felinid, Harpies, Oni, Rodentia, Chitinid , Feroxi, and Kitsune.
[[File:SpeciesOverView2.png|border|center|596x596px]]
Vulpkanin, Felinid, Harpy, Oni, Rodentia, Chitinid, Feroxi, and Kitsune are Delta-V specific species.

There is also a number of uncommon humanoids. Each species possesses its own unique set of statistics, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as, in some cases, distinct anatomical traits. However, despite these differences, all species share several commonalities:

* Subjection to the fundamental laws of physics, including temperature, pressure, fire, atmospheric composition, gravity, radiation, electric current, and inertia. Temperature and atmospheric composition preferences differ for different species.
* Communication through a single common language. This ability can be lost temporally.
* Ability to equip the same tools and items (with a few exceptions).
* Ability to climb on surfaces, pull and throw things and beings, buckle in beds and seats, leave footprints, lay down, and sleep in beds and in cryostorage.
* Ability to preform attacks with fists and analogs. Likewise, when attacked, being slowed down and losing stamina.
* Capability of gaining and utilizing [[Psionics|psionic powers]] (Delta-V feature).
* Ability to leave DNA and/or prints on most intractable objects (and even pets).
* Ability to be affected by hunger and thirst.
* Ability to metabolize reagents inside and on the surface of the body, and experience their effects.
* Ability to be healed by applying specific items.
* Ability to be operated on during surgery, and decay with time while dead, and even to turn into a bloody pile of organs.
* A basic set of organs- eyes, brain, stomach, lungs, heart- alongside blood or a species-specific equivalent (sap, slime).
* Limited passive regeneration: BRUTE and HEAT damage can be healed over time, if Total Damage is below 20. AIRLOSS damage will always be healed over time, given the character in question has adequate breathable air and oxygen.
* All species will 'clot' over time - if they are bleeding, they will slowly stop bleeding. Moreover, their blood will naturally replenish.

= Roundstart Humanoids =
The following species can currently be selected in the character creation menu, meaning you can expect to see most of them during any given round.

[[File:Harpy.png|64px]]

An avian humanoid species that features colorful feathered wings and tails that can mimic almost any sound.

They are quite sensitive to the air quality, and when exposed to low quality air, they will begin to visibly gasp, and eventually start choking.<br>When this happens, a Harpy should either move away from sources of bad air, stand on top of a scrubber for a few seconds, or take a few breaths from a pure oxygen tank in order to restore their blood-oxygen levels. Only three seconds of being on pure oxygen is enough to completely restore a Harpy's blood oxygen saturation.

** Air tanks last half as long and Harpies are more susceptible than usual to low air quality.
** If a Harpy is exposed to at least 0.2 moles of combined CO2 and/or Miasma, they start struggling to take in oxygen.

== Arachnid ==
[[File:Arachnid.png|64px]]

Not to be confused with insectoids, Arachnids cut a striking figure with their pressure-resistant exoskeletons and extra arms. Possibly related to the space spiders and giant tarantulas found in outer space. Thanks to their similarly robust digestive systems, they are able to consume raw food without the risk of disease. <sup>note: Disease is still under development and not implemented in game yet.</sup>

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Latin (ex. Pluribus Unum)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Slow metabolism.

'''Special ability'''
* They have two extra pocket slots formed by webs.
* Silk: Can weive silk at the expense of hunger and craft various things.
Silk can be used to create furniture , clothes , walls and even shields. this will help handle more critical situations (ex: craft a winter coat when temperature drops , seal a spaced area using a wall). only Arachids are able to utilize the silk for crafting.
* Slow metabolism: they have 50% slower reagant metabolism than other species which takes extra time for medicines to work and to satiate thirst and hunger on the other it takes more time to get poisoned by any poisons/toxins. This has no effect on externally applied reagents, so spilling a acid on an Arachnid will kill them just the same as anyone else.

'''Benefits'''

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Qualia[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia] (ex. A Peaceful Sunrise)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat everything a Human can.
* They get hungry slower, and thirsty faster.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants: Weed Killer poisons them and Robust Harvest heals them.

'''Special ability'''
* Plant Chemicals: They are affected by chemicals that affect plants, this means that they can heal and benefit from fertilizers (ex: robust harvest can heal most of the brute damage), but plant toxins and pesticides will damage them too.
* Death: Can gib themselves into Nymphs after death, then reform after 10 minutes.
** This will heal them from all injuries and even manage to revive themselve from unrevivable situations (ex: radiation damage).
** Reform: It takes 10 minutes to be reformed back to Diona state from the Nymphs state. This leaves the Nymphs valnurable to other dangers (including spacing).
** Body: Reformed nymphs will have different body from the old Diona which will have different name and traits (such as gender).
** Memory: Reformed nymphs will keep their's character basic knowledge (only if it is an antagonist and the job), and looses any previous character's memories from it's death (other perhaps than the need to run away and find safety).
** Nymphs: There are normally 3 pet-like Nymphs. The original player take control of the "Brain" nymph. The only one able to talk. The other two can be taken over by ghosts if given cognizine.
** A zombified Diona is able to split once dead (or after giving up and returning to body) and the resulting nymphs will be zombified, though unable to reform.
* Tree form. Being exposed to 80u or more of Rodust Harvest will cause a Diona to grow out of control, turning into an immobile tree (dropping all their equipment). Cutting down the tree will "restone" the Diona to their mobile state.

* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* Ignite: If they take big enough Heat damage from any source, they get ignited and catch on fire (the fire damage/size depends on the amount of heat damage being dealt: a laser rifle will not burn as much compared to a vintage laser pistol / X-ray rifle)

== Vox ==
[[File:Fullvox.png|64px]]

Vox are a strange lot, they're raptor-like creatures that can only breathe nitrogen, as oxygen is '''very hazardous''' to their health to the point where they take ticking poison damage as long as they're exposed to the air, provided said air has even a trace of oxygen within it. To counter-act this, a Vox must either be in a pure nitrogen-based environment or, more commonly, breathing from a nitrogen tank, one of which is provided to them at the start of each round. Much like Reptilians, their unarmed attacks deal slashing damage instread of blunt.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, Mono-name with Repetitive Random Syllables (ex. Hirixashahre, Xapikrikrik)

== Thaven ==

===== Moods =====
The Thaven have a unique brain structure, similar to a positronic brain, and thus have "Moods" which affect them similarly to a borg's Laws. Breaking these moods is extremely distressing! As such, a Thaven must follow their moods to the best of their ability. The consequences of violating these moods is up to the player, but they should be very upset at any violations and seek to rectify them.

===== Mood Swings =====
Thaven brains are susceptible to fluctuations in noöspheric pressure. As a result, their ability to synchronize and regulate their Moods tends to degrade with extended exposure to the glimmer that builds up in NT research stations. It also renders them vulnerable to glimmer discharges, which can sometimes give them additional, often severely debilitating moods.

* They take 10% less Heat, Cold, and Poison damage

===== Drawbacks =====

* They take 10% more Blunt, Slash, Piercing, and Genetic damage
* They take 20% more Radiation damage

===== Thaven Naming Conventions =====
  Thaven typically name themselves after a single virtue they hold dear. Sometimes these names can be long and unwieldy.

  For example:

  - Honesty

  - Have Mercy

  - Give Thanks To Thy Ancestors

  - Obedience

  - Search The Scriptures

== Chitinid ==
An industrious hymenoptera species, the Chitinid are strong and diligent. Thanks to evolution, they have grown an acute resistance to radiation, but not without its side effects.

'''Diet'''

Can eat raw meat.

'''Benefits'''
*They take 80% less Radiation damage and 10% less Slash, Blunt, and Piercing damage.
*Their bodies naturally recover from light radiation damage up to a point, once they accumulate enough radiation they must purge it from their systems in the form of a small rock. WARNING: The Chitzite they expel is slightly radioactive.
*They are better at pulling and carrying things.
*They possess a biological light.

'''Drawbacks'''
*They take 15% more Shock damage.
*Regular syringes can not penetrate their tough shells, but hyposprays can.
*Thanks to their overactive systems, they get hungry 33% faster.
*They are especially susceptible to low temperatures, slowing down sooner and taking 10% more Cold damage.
*Their unique biology and exoskeleton makes them heavier than they appear.
*They have Insect Blood, which can't be metabolised from Iron.

*Their claws deal Slash damage.
*Slightly lighter then other species.
*Lower natural body temperature.

'''Drawbacks'''

*As a lightweight species, they tend to be a bit frail, taking 30% more blunt damage, as well as 10% more slash and pierce.
*For the same reason, they lack muscle, dealing 35% less blunt damage and 15% less slash and stamina damage.

'''Feathers'''

Being injured has a chance to cause an Avali to drop a feather, granting them a short burst of adrenaline. They can lose up to three feathers at once, which will very slowly regrow over time. Feathers can also be manually preened via the context menu.

== Ovinia ==

'''Benefits'''

*They take 25% less heat and blunt damage due to their insulating wool, and are 25% less flammable

*They digest food at a slower rate, becoming hungry and thirsty 25% slower

*Their hooved feet protect them from shards of glass and sharp floor hazards

* Their docile attitudes and aptitude for nature have led most animals to be friendly towards them

'''Drawbacks'''

*They take 15% increased slash and pierce damage.

*Will get poisoned by Theobromine (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and Allicin (Onion, Garlic)

*Their aptitude for grazing and chewing cud has led to them consuming food and drink 25% slower than most species

'''A Brief Introduction'''

''The Ovinia, the Galaxy's Herders, are a species of ruminant-like humanoids native to the pasture world of Runia located in the binary Lanei system. This world of flowing green pastures crossed by pristine rivers and almost alpine ranges of mountain was home to a tribal civilization at the time of their first contact with the outside galaxy.''

  ''Ovinia are densely built ruminant-like humanoids that usually all possess a coat of fluffy wool that is prized among their species. An Ovinia's wool is their pride and joy, and the act of sharing their wool or gifting their wool is one of incredible significance. Ovinia are a relatively naturalistic species, often forgoing clothing in favour of their natural coats. Though with influences from the outside galaxy, some Ovinia have taken to fashion quite warmly.''

== Allulalo ==
Allulalo are a reclusive species of saurians native to the IMP-sector outer nebulae. They are rarely seen, preferring to conceal their cities deep inside asteroid fields and mask their movements with stealth fields or radio jammers. Although investigations into whether they pose a security risk to nearby stations is ongoing, successful agreements have been brokered to enable small-scale contact and occasional employment of Allulalo among Nanotrasen staff.

===== Naming Conventions =====
Allulalo names are comprised of two parts. The first half is similar in function to a human's, while the last half is a conjunction of the first syllables of both of their parent's names.

  For example:

  - Halio Hera-Nofa

  - Sadita Ona-Rona

  - Unira Lota-Pota

===== Diet =====

* Nothing special, similar to humans

'''Benefits'''

* Incredibly mobile and fast

* Small size allows them to pilot VIMs

'''Drawbacks'''

* They have a naturally lower body mass due to their small stature, and as such have difficulty dragging things larger than themselves.
* Beak used in place of traditional hands, preventing them from wielding any large weaponry and making it so they can only hold one item at a time
* Height makes them unable to interface with most standard devices without standing on chairs and tables or using anti gravity technology
* They take 15% more Blunt, Slash, and Piercing damage
* They are 25% more vulnerable to stuns and are thrown farther by impacts
