Species

The world of Fortune is home to a number of original and innovative species from around the universe, dreamed up by the brilliant minds of HFCS. Species are divided into three categories: Playable Ninja Species, Non-Playable Enemy Species, and Playable Non-Ninja Species.

Human


Humans are one of the playable species (for Ninjas only) in Fortune. Humans are distinguished from "humanoids," the playable species for non-Ninjas, because of humans' superior intelligence and stunning good looks.

In terms of player design, HFCS drew its inspiration for humans from its own Forum Ninjas. As a result, Humans are unbelievably strong, powerful, invincible, and immortal.

Cyborg


Cyborgs are a playable species (for Ninjas only) in Fortune. The Cyborgs are self-aware machines that have been rebooted, causing their memories and original purpose to disappear. Cyborgs have been described by HFCS as "foreboding, strong, and machinelike."

In terms of player design, HFCS also drew its inspiration for the Cyborgs from its own Forum Ninjas. As a result, Cyborgs are ruthless administrators of justice, cold, uncaring, unfeeling, and also invincible and immortal.

Vampire


Vampires are a playable species (for Ninjas only) in Fortune. The vampires are an ethereal, gray-skinned species that has been described by HFCS as "enigmatic and really good-looking."

In terms of player design, as you might imagine, HFCS drew its inspiration for vampires from its own Forum Ninjas. Thus, Vampires are sexy, brilliant, creative, and of course invincible and immortal.

Humanoid
Non-Ninjas will have a great option for their species. Non-Ninjas can play as a Humanoid, a subspecies of Humans that evolved during the Renaissance as the result of chemical testing and bad parenting. Humanoids are incredibly useful creatures, best utilized in hard labor tasks that don't take much thinking. Non-Ninja players will enjoy taking on the role of the Humanoids, reveling in their simplicity and unremarkable nature.

Enemy Species
These creatures are vile, slobbering troglodytes, so its no surprise that many of them resemble Bungie employees. Unless you're a Ninja, you'll likely never see any of these while laboring in the fields and mines of Earth, so really this section is just FYI.

DeeJes


DeeJes are a horrifying, undead enemy species that the Ninjas love to mow down in hordes. DeeJes speak with a fake British accent and are never seen without their fashionable pipes.

Urks


Urks are a robotic species whose bodies warp in from another time, though their tiny brains have a lot of difficulty adjusting. Ninjas have no trouble slaughtering these ginger-bearded bots.

Halcylons


Halcylons are large, brutish warmongers who can't stay serious. They are frequently given away by their Chicago accents, but Ninjas still enjoy blowing them to smithereens.

Lukemses


Lukemses are vicious, four-armed creatures who once had a noble empire that spanned the galaxy. Basically, now they are foragers and scavengers who fall immediately before the Ninjas' bullets, unless they manage to run away cowering in terror first.
