Slavery is not uncommon on earth and no less common out in the far reaches of space. Ranging between five-and-a-half to six-and a half feet tall, with females typically taking the shorter end of the spectrum, the Kushan race is a genetically modified and enhanced version of their forefathers. During the beginnings of the interstellar trade route at least one alien race took humans to be used as a slave labor force. This labor force was genetically altered to fit a specific role in the aliens civilization. The role that the enslaved humans fell into, the role that they were genetically altered to fit was construction and repair of mechanical and electronic devices. It is unknown why or how some of the Kushan people returned to Earth.
Kushan was the name given to them by their masters, the name of slaves. Kushan men and women have little body hair. Men are capable of growing only very thin and patchy beards. All Kushans have platinum hair as the genetic markers for hair pigment was lost during the few hundred generations that they were separated from their earthbound cousins. Most Kushans also have two different colored eyes which give them an odd look. The dominate eye color combinations are blue, red; green, blue; and blue, hazel; but other color combinations are not unheard off.
Kushan’s are prone to Scoliosis, Asthma, and a number of blood cancers upon reaching vulnerable age. Kushans that reach the vulnerable age of 70 are rare. Kushans are considered borderline autistic savants. Kushans are prone to language disabilities such as Dyslexia. They excel in mechanical and electrical applications, repairing, replicating, creating, and inventing complex machines with ease. Most Kushans are too naïve or innocent to survive in this brutal world without the help of close friends or family. When protected they greatly improve the lives of those around them through the application of their talent with machines.
