I had an old modern Arcana game back in d20, over the years i have reworked it and ran it for other versions of D&D using other rules, my alterations and things. But after I finally got the Everyday Heroes book and the Vault as well, i think i will try and adapt it again for this rule set as well which is an alternative version of 5e but with a more sci-fi modern bent.
most all people are humans starting out and can become something more, given the backgrounds and options in the system some might be able to start out as a different race other than human, the options are as follows.
Cat folk, Dragon kind, fey blood, Ghoul, jinn, mermaid, siren, werewolf, Nephilim, snake blood, sphinx, some of these are part human some are not.
these options you have to be human and become, but can happen as part of a background or during gameplay: Werewolf, vampire, zombie, shade, ghost.
some races are hidden and very old or even immortal, like the Amazon, Atlanteans, demons, Dragons, fey, some old vampires, and more.
