-  * Male [[species:Abwehrans]] are traditionally considered as protectors as soldiers even for their lower ratio to females ((33.6% of the total population are male)).  But there is also a physical difference between the genders.  One high gravity worlds such as [[abwehran:Abwehr]], many mammals evolve ways to survive the harsh pressures.  One of these is to have six-limbs to handle the gravity instead of four.  For Abwehrans, who have long evolved to stand up-right, the males have kept this gene and have four arms and two legs.+  * Male [[species:abwehran]] are traditionally considered as protectors as soldiers even for their lower ratio to females ((33.6% of the total population are male)).  But there is also a physical difference between the genders.  One high gravity worlds such as [[wip_2023_or_older:planet:abwehr]], many mammals evolve ways to survive the harsh pressures.  One of these is to have six-limbs to handle the gravity instead of four.  For Abwehrans, who have long evolved to stand up-right, the males have kept this gene and have four arms and two legs.
  
   * Female are traditionally those in power, whether running the family or a government.  This is mainly because of their larger population versus the male population.  Physically, they have lost the gene that allows them to have four arms long before recorded Abwehran History.  Because of this, Abwehran females are more human-like with four limbs total (two arms and two legs).   * Female are traditionally those in power, whether running the family or a government.  This is mainly because of their larger population versus the male population.  Physically, they have lost the gene that allows them to have four arms long before recorded Abwehran History.  Because of this, Abwehran females are more human-like with four limbs total (two arms and two legs).

-  * [[species:surfacers|Surfacer]] families tend to be nuclear families with two parents and around 4.5 children ((Abwehran definition)).  Though this seems much larger than those found in most advanced civilizations, those whom stand by the two parents and 2.5 children, this is actually quite small.+  * [[species:abwehran:surfacer|Surfacer]] families tend to be nuclear families with two parents and around 4.5 children ((Abwehran definition)).  Though this seems much larger than those found in most advanced civilizations, those whom stand by the two parents and 2.5 children, this is actually quite small.
  
-  * [[species:nightwalkers|Nightwalker]] families, on the other hand, are massive in comparison.  Due to being a culture with a more drastic female to male ratio ((~20%/80%)) than their cousins on the surface, they are more accepting of multiple spouses.  It is not unheard of to have families with four parents and 8.5 children on average.  The Löwenherzt family is the exception to the average with its clan-sized proportions.+  * [[species:abwehran:nightwalker|Nightwalker]] families, on the other hand, are massive in comparison.  Due to being a culture with a more drastic female to male ratio ((~20%/80%)) than their cousins on the surface, they are more accepting of multiple spouses.  It is not unheard of to have families with four parents and 8.5 children on average.  The Löwenherzt family is the exception to the average with its clan-sized proportions.

-If you are a [[species:surfacers|Surfacer]], your character has probably lived an easy and often spoiled life compared to others.  Joining the military would have been a great shock to you due to all the discipline and strict rules involved.  If you got through it, you've probably been changed drastically.  Whether for better or for worse is up to you.+If you are a [[species:abwehran:surfacer|Surfacer]], your character has probably lived an easy and often spoiled life compared to others.  Joining the military would have been a great shock to you due to all the discipline and strict rules involved.  If you got through it, you've probably been changed drastically.  Whether for better or for worse is up to you.
  
-If you are a [[species:nightwalkers|Nightdweller]], your character probably grew up in a large and nurturing family environment with multiple sets or combinations of parentage.  Though you were treated fairly, you've always been taught that the world is never fair.  Growing in one of the large underground cities, you probably would have seen the surface on occasion.  In one of the smaller warrens, you've probably had a harder life with earthquakes and small cave-ins happening on the rare occasion.  If you grew up in one of these small warrens, you've probably never experienced the surface and have been greatly effected when you finally reach it.  You've also been through your coming of age ceremony which is required before your peers look at you as an adult.  Because of this, you've been trained previously in the arts of combat beforehand.  [[species:nightwalkers]] in the military are commonplace and often adapt to conditions more easily.+If you are a [[species:abwehran:nightwalker|Nightdweller]], your character probably grew up in a large and nurturing family environment with multiple sets or combinations of parentage.  Though you were treated fairly, you've always been taught that the world is never fair.  Growing in one of the large underground cities, you probably would have seen the surface on occasion.  In one of the smaller warrens, you've probably had a harder life with earthquakes and small cave-ins happening on the rare occasion.  If you grew up in one of these small warrens, you've probably never experienced the surface and have been greatly effected when you finally reach it.  You've also been through your coming of age ceremony which is required before your peers look at you as an adult.  Because of this, you've been trained previously in the arts of combat beforehand.  [[species:abwehran:nightwalker|Nightwalkers]] in the military are commonplace and often adapt to conditions more easily.
  
-If you are a [[abwehran:Surfacer Night-dweller Hybrid]], you've probably been in one of two family situations.  One of your parents was a [[species:nightwalkers|Nightdweller]] whom chose to have one life-partner or was a [[species:surfacers|Surfacer]] who chose to break from monogamy traditions and marry into a [[species:nightwalkers|Nightdweller]] household.  Either way, you could have been raise by one tradition or another or possibly by both traditions at once.  There is also a possibility you've been scorned for being a mixed breed, but this is only seen in more backwater towns.  Joining the military could be a way to escape this racism or just a mere stepping stone towards getting back at your aggressors.  But in most cases, joining the military is following a wanderlust gained from your [[species:nightwalkers|Nightwalker]] blood.+If you are a [[species:abwehran:hybrid]], you've probably been in one of two family situations.  One of your parents was a [[species:abwehran:nightwalker|Nightdweller]] whom chose to have one life-partner or was a [[species:abwehran:surfacer|Surfacer]] who chose to break from monogamy traditions and marry into a [[species:abwehran:nightwalker|Nightdweller]] household.  Either way, you could have been raise by one tradition or another or possibly by both traditions at once.  There is also a possibility you've been scorned for being a mixed breed, but this is only seen in more backwater towns.  Joining the military could be a way to escape this racism or just a mere stepping stone towards getting back at your aggressors.  But in most cases, joining the military is following a wanderlust gained from your [[species:abwehran:nightwalker|Nightwalker]] blood.
