==Overview==
 +
Despite the racism and prejudice pointed in the direction of Felinids, since receiving their Civil rights in 2187, plenty hold high ranking jobs on stations and ships spread mainly throughout the middle systems. Studying any social behavior quickly reveals the tendency for like attracts like, especially in the case of the Felinids. They are often seen only spending time with one another in any particular crew and may continue to for some time. Despite their predisposition to themselves, they are still present everywhere that humans are. Despite their history of civil rights abuses, they much prefer to associate with humans more than any of the other species, not because they are scared of them, but simply because they do not know them as well.

<s>Cat people</s> Felinids have a long history with Space Station 13. One of the earliest events still recorded, in much simpler times, shows cat ears and tails were perhaps just [[https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/2850 a consumer product]] available in the galaxy. Innocent enough as well, at least concerning what Felinids were, [[https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/8427 pet collars]] became the height of niche fashion a year after cat ears returned to shelves. Though consumers complained cat ears and collars could not be put on together, the manufacturers questioned who would be unable to wear ears on their head, a tail somewhere unpleasant and a collar on their neck all together. Market researchers claimed these complaints were from children not suited to the product given the letters were written in colourful crayon.
+
<tab name="Conception">
 +
The predecessors to the Felinids were nothing more than human beings with too much money or time on their hands. From their birthplace in the Wolf 359 star system and across the galaxy, some niche groups of humans couldn’t help but fall in love with the minor genetic modifications which led to human-feline hybrids. Many don’t share this sentiment, however, and as such Felinids have gone through a lot of racial prejudice in the few decades they’ve been around.
 +
</tab>
  
Though the origin of cat ears are missing, we do know that they are currently a novelty item created by [[The Syndicate#Animal Rights Consortium|the Animals Rights Consortium]] in an effort to make you care more for cats by making you more like them, <s>rather than the obvious solution of making cats more like humans with babies instead of kittens</s>. The collars are too, because an inmate pet needs a collar so other people know it's not supposed to be wandering outside of space stations. It took only three months of no response to the crayon complaints before a raving madman broke into the Animal Rights Consortium's headquarters, armed with just a pair of stungloves, a fire extinguisher full of welding fuel and a lit match. The pet loving organisation soon discovered the letters were not written by children, but ''Nanotrasen'' employees <s>and children, we hope, at least the one authorised by a clown's rubber stamp, must have been a birthday party.</s>
+
<tab name="Anatomy">
 +
Felinids, anatomically, are identical to humans aside from their ears and added tail. The tail is connected to the base of the spine and protrudes just below the small of their back. It’s been discovered the presence of their tail actually does in fact aid in their balance, proving the adage true of a cat always landing on their feet. In place of human ears on the side of the head, instead are two feline ears atop the head skewed slightly from center. They are much more sensitive than human ears and thus easily damaged by loud noise.
 +
</tab>
  
As it turns out, the Animal Rights Consortium had been working on a mad science. The ability to make toy ears and tail out of flesh that cannot be yanked out when <s>mum and dad</s> the AI and Captain open your dorm door. The previous raving madman was told if he got his employers to accept surgery for this new product, he would be the first to receive it outside of the laboratory. This coincided with the time that Nanotrasen was to allow its employees to look unkempt even in front of competitors; tattoos and scars. Naturally, on the day after the madman was offered a catty chance, Nanotrasen declared its shareholders must vote on allowing its employees the privilege of either scars and tattoos or a new plastic surgery. Despite the executive's voice on the announcement wavering along with another man on the microphone yelling at him what to say, and the news of rescheduled deathsquad exercises, ''and'' the sound of weapons fire at the end of the announcement, the executives voted for their [[https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/10209 purrfurred outcome]]. Needless to say, the crazed madman was not the first to receive the infamous ears or tail.
+
<tab name="Physical Side Effects">
 
+
Some unfortunate side effects of the genetic modification, be it given to a chosen human or passed down to their offspring are: Sensitivity to theobromine, a chemical most commonly found in chocolate, can sometimes lead to nausea, vomiting, and can even be poisonous in large enough quantities. Newly developed aquaphobia or fear of bodies of water are common among felinids.
Two years again afterwards and the surgical technology was refined. The hearing of the ears was enhanced, though security's liberal usage of [[Flashbang#Flashbang|flash bangs]] is not helpful to this further modification to make humans care more for their frisky feline pets. Some predictions are that the next modification will be enhanced night vision, which will too cause greater issue with flash bangs, or that claws are the next potential step. Some ask when it will stop, the Animal Rights Consortium don't.
+
Changes in speech patterns have also been documented but not proven to be a side effect of felinid genes. It is widely regarded that the Felinid dialect, the colloquially referred “Nyaspeak” is not a development of genetics, but instead a development of culture.
 
+
</tab>
At the same time, reactionaries amongst Nanotrasen ranks helped to encourage [[https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/28395 furred products]] though it was soon found out to be sourced from [[https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/28732 black market chop shops]] that were only legalised in Nanotrasen trade networks due to either executive dislike for Felinids or executive mistrust of coming back alive after going for surgery at an Animal Rights Consortium facility, depending on which rumours you hear in maintenance.

Names for Felinids are just as varied, simple or complex as human names. (If you name yourself Mittens or some other stereotypical cat name, you know what you’re getting into) Felinids tend to find each other wherever they may be, finding solidarity as many other species do in others of their own kind. They range in personality much like humans but more prevalent personalities tend to be cheerful, reserved, or impatient.
  
= A Legit Guide to Felinids =
+
Felinids come about due to two circumstances; you’ve either gone and gotten yourself a genetic cosmetic surgery for your own purposes, or you were born one. Felinids aren’t always born to felinid parents as the cosmetic surgery are recessive traits but can still be passed down from parent to child even if the child isn’t born a felinid. This can lead to families going through a few generations before a felinid is born to human parents.  
 
 
This legit guide is all about cat girls as a <s>5e D&D</s> racial option for everybody who’s not a fag and can
 
appreciate real art. We’ll start off with an FAQ for the aesthetically impaired. Enjoy!
 
 
 
Q: What should I name myself?
 
 
 
A: Felinids names are based on food puns, an example being Pepper Oni, Cup Cake, of Pepper Mint. There are no enforced restrictions on a name a Felinid can use (sans standard name rules) meaning you do not have to adhere to the s food pun system but you should.
 
 
 
Q: Why would I want to play as a cat girl?
 
 
 
A: That’s a fucking stupid question, but that’s OK – it’s probably to be expected of autistic antiweeb
 
crusaders such as people who would even bother reading this FAQ instead of just skipping to
 
the racial stats. The answer is that cat girls are a truly essential PC race in any and all <s>D&D</s> games.
 
 
 
In fact, they’re so essential to the game that in Chainedmale (Gary Gaygax’s first whack at the
 
universe’s 8th tabletop role-playing game ever made) they were the *only* player race available!
 
Not only that but, given people were such unimaginative fucks, the cat girl PC race was
 
simultaneously its own class. Well, at least Gary Gaygax understood the importance of cat girls!
 
 
 
Q: How can I incorporate cat girls into my setting?
 
 
 
A: Why aren’t cat girls already in your setting? What fucked up world do you have in which you
 
have dragons/wizards/nalfeshnees/emus/trees/xylophones/tiny people and yet you lack girls with
 
cat ears and tails? Dude just use magic or some shit. You don’t need this spoonfed to you.
 
 
 
Q: I want to play as a cat girl, but my <s>DM</s> admin won’t let me. What should I do?
 
 
 
A: Call him a faggot and then just play as a warlock, druid, or wizard and turn yourself into a cat
 
girl anyway. Starting at level two as a warlock, you can cast disguise self at will as an invocation.
 
Once you reach 15th level you can cast alter self at will as an invocation. Once you hit level 17 you
 
get true polymorph and you’re golden. As a moon druid, you get the Thousand Forms circle
 
feature at level 14, which lets you cast alter self at will a level earlier than warlock gets it, though
 
you’ll sadly never have access to true polymorph. As a wizard, you get access to all the normal
 
spells (disguise self, alter self, true polymorph) and, of course, wish. I can think of nothing more
 
worthy of a suicidal casting of wish than to turn each and every humanoid on the material plane
 
into a cat girl. The gods will surely smile upon your heroic sacrifice for the greater good.
 
 
 
Q: Why does everyone assume I’m a pervert just for wanting to play as a cat
 
girl?
 
 
 
A: Because they’re degenerate cocksuckers who cannot fathom that another person might have
 
pure intentions in wanting to play as the cat girl master race. Their wish-fulfillment fetish-tier
 
races like elves, aasimars, goliaths, and hobgoblins are perfectly fine in their mad, lust-filled minds,
 
such that the purity and perfection of cat girls burns at their evil perverted hearts.
 
Neko Revēlāt 57:20 - But the wicked are like the tossing sea; for it cannot be quiet, and its waters
 
toss up mire and dirt.
 
 
 
Q: Where are the cat boys?
 
 
 
A: I don’t follow.
 
 
 
Q: What is a cat girl’s favored class?
 
 
 
A: Cat girls make excellent barbarians because they are fast and possibly strong! Cat girls also
 
make great bards, due to the fact that they are charismatic and tend to have lovely voices. You
 
can’t go wrong with a cat girl cleric, as no other race produces such wise and devoted acolytes.
 
The path of a druid is one that suits a cat girl perfectly, as they are natural protectors and
 
nurturers of nature. Cat girl fighters may be found amongst the greatest warriors in any setting,
 
being innately talented martial combatants due to their speed and possible strength. The life of a
 
cat girl monk is one of sweat and discipline, and that suits a cat girl just fine since they have great
 
mental fortitude and physical talent. Cat girls make the very best paladins, as cat girls have a
 
potent sense of justice and dedication to righteous causes. The role of a ranger is one of a silent
 
guardian and watchful protector, which cat girls fill perfectly with their keen senses and rustic grit.
 
No other race offers you a better choice as a rogue, as the dexterity and cunning of cat girls is
 
unmatched in the world of intrigue, tactics and espionage. Innate magical power and talent flows
 
through the veins of every cat girl, making cat girls the ideal race for being sorcerers. Cat girls are
 
experts of diplomacy and finding alternative ways to make their dreams reality when things go
 
awry, making them superb candidates for finding their way into the warlock class. As intelligent
 
and studious as the average cat girl is, it’s no wonder that cat girls also make such top-of-the-line
 
wizards. I hope that answers your question!
 
That concludes this FAQ segment. I hope you now have a better understanding of the depth, utility,
 
and general import of cat girls as a D&D 5e PC race.
 
 
 
== Cat Girl Traits ==
 
 
 
Your cat girl character has many unique and potent traits inherent to your noble bloodline.
 
Ability Score Increases. Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Charisma score increases by 1
 
 
 
Age. Cat girls grow up at about the same rate as humans, reaching physical maturity generally in
 
their late teens. Cat girls, however, do not age after maturity, and can potentially live forever.
 
Even if she dies though, remember she will always live on in your heart.
 
 
 
Alignment. Cat girls are always good. No exceptions. If you suspect a cat girl is evil, you’re
 
mistaken – they are probably just pretending.
 
 
 
Size. Cat girls tend to range in height from just under 5 feet to just below 6 feet tall. Your size is
 
Medium.
 
 
 
Languages. Cat girls know English, which is the only language anyone needs.
 
 
 
A Cute. Cat girls are very cute! You can cast the enthrall spell once using this trait. You regain the
 
ability to do so when you finish a short or long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for this
 
spell.

Felinids have only recently been recognized as a separate species from humans, becoming protected under the Species Equality Act of 2187, and as such are allowed the opportunity to become higher members of society. Though this hasn’t settled homogeneously across all of humanity, leaving them to struggle alongside the rest of the alien species to gain a foothold under Federation control.
  
 +
Plenty rise to the occasion, succeeding where others didn’t and taking up responsibility and proving to be productive members of society. But where there is a demographic, there will be outliers and extremes. Some felinids fall under every trope and expectation imaginable and are rarely ever received well by station or ship crew.

Xenoecology Entry: Felinids - Sapien Felis[edit | edit source]

Written by Elise Garnier

Overview[edit | edit source]

Despite the racism and prejudice pointed in the direction of Felinids, since receiving their Civil rights in 2187, plenty hold high ranking jobs on stations and ships spread mainly throughout the middle systems. Studying any social behavior quickly reveals the tendency for like attracts like, especially in the case of the Felinids. They are often seen only spending time with one another in any particular crew and may continue to for some time. Despite their predisposition to themselves, they are still present everywhere that humans are. Despite their history of civil rights abuses, they much prefer to associate with humans more than any of the other species, not because they are scared of them, but simply because they do not know them as well.

From their birthplace in the Wolf 359 star system and across the galaxy, some niche groups of humans couldn’t help but fall in love with the minor genetic modifications which led to human-feline hybrids. Many don’t share this sentiment, however, and as such Felinids have gone through a lot of racial prejudice in the few decades they’ve been around.

Felinids, anatomically, are identical to humans aside from their ears and added tail. The tail is connected to the base of the spine and protrudes just below the small of their back. It’s been discovered the presence of their tail actually does in fact aid in their balance, proving the adage true of a cat always landing on their feet.
