White Martian          Green Martian

Species Name: Martian

Type: Humanoid

Physical Traits: 80% have green pigmentation, the remaining have white pigmentation due to interspecies mating. Both Green and White have the powers of greatly Enhanced Strength, Enhanced Movement, Enhanced Stamina, Telepathy, Invisibility I, Phase, Telekinetic Flight, Light Emission from their eyes and Shapeshift. They are vulnerable to fire and have an extreme phobia of it. As a race of shapeshifters, physical appearance has little meaning for Martians. The underlying psychological differences are what separated the peaceful Green Martians from the war-like Whites. White Martians have configured their physiology to reflect their philosophy, becoming a separate race from the Green Martians. Their preferred form is that of angular, hairless humanoids with chalky white skin which often forms bony ridges or plates, giving them the appearance of armour. They have sometimes been seen to have a gaping mouth on their thorax and a horn on the same level on each side. Like the Green Martians, White Martians have numerous superhuman powers and as well their vulnerability to fire.

INT: 3D6, WIS: 3D6, STR: 6D6, DEX: 3D6, CON: 6D6, CHA: 2D6, MR: 5D6, HPs: CON +(D20 x20)

Orbit/Climate: 1.52 AU. Mars' orbit is significantly elliptical. One result of this is a temperature variation of about 30 C at the subsolar point between aphelion and perihelion. This has a major influence on Mars' climate. While the average temperature on Mars is about -55 C, Martian surface temperatures range widely from as little as -133 C at the winter pole to almost 27 C on the day side during summer.

Atmosphere: Thin Oxygen/Nitrogen/Carbon Dioxide.

Oceans: 0%

Gravity: 100%

Feeding Habits: Omnivore

Lifespan: 1200 years

Technology: 8

Culture: Green are paranoid, white are xenophobic. Both Green and White Martians have attempted to invade earth but been defeated each time by the Martian Manhunter and the Justice League. It was previously believed that the White Martians evolved alongside the Green Martians. In reality the Green and White Martians were part of the same race, known as "The Burning". This race used fire to reproduce asexually and were belligerent to all. The Guardians of the Universe, fearing the ruthlessly and violently powerful Martians, genetically split the Martian race into two distinct species, white and green, preventing the asexual reproduction. They also gave these two new races an instinctive fear of fire to prevent either group from ever accessing their full potential. While the Green Martians were peaceful philosophers, the White Martians were savage warriors. A lengthy civil war between the two races ended when the few surviving White Martians were rounded up and exiled to the extra-dimensional "Still Zone". Although there are still remnants of the White Martian race that escaped from their persecution or during the civil war. At some point in Earth's ancient past, the White Martians visited the planet and performed genetic experiments on terrestrial animals and primitive humans. These experiments led to the White Martians to discover the metagene in human beings that would grant humans metahuman powers. Due to their experiments, they actually altered the destiny of the human race. Whereas before evolution would have eventually made mankind into a race of superhumans similar to the Daxamites and Kryptonians, or the Martians themselves, now only a select few humans would be able to develop metahuman powers. This was another reason for the war between the White and Green Martians, who were outraged by such biological vandalism. Furthermore, the White Martians also created a metavirus, a metagene that could be passed from host to host via touch.
