# Races & Skills

There are 10 unique races in Xerians Universe. Each Unique Xerian represents a different race. Each race boosts a particular skill. For Xerian Soldiers, each body part can have a different or the same race. A Xerians’ race is determined by the race that has the higher number of body parts. In the case of equal number of body parts (1-1-1-1-1 and 2-2-1), the race will be determined according to Head’s race.

The races in Gen 1 are listed below:

|    |             |
| -- | ----------- |
| 1  | Xaquarian   |
| 2  | Xamberian   |
| 3  | Xionian     |
| 4  | Xopazrian   |
| 5  | Xyanirian   |
| 6  | Xapphirian  |
| 7  | Xemeraldian |
| 8  | Xamorian    |
| 9  | Xavaxian    |
| 10 | Xalesarian  |

**Example 1**: NFT Card No 5687

|                |             |
| -------------- | ----------- |
| **BODY PARTS** | **RACE**    |
| HEAD           | XIONIAN     |
| ARMS           | XEMERALDIAN |
| LEGS           | XAMORIAN    |
| BODY           | XALESARIAN  |
| BACKPACK       | XALESARIAN  |

The majority of parts belong to XALESARIAN, so No:5687 belongs to the RACE of XALESARIAN.

If there is no majority between races, the race is determined according to Head’s race.

**Example 2:** NFT Card No 5699

|                |           |
| -------------- | --------- |
| **BODY PARTS** | **RACE**  |
| HEAD           | XYANIRIAN |
| ARMS           | XAQUARIAN |
| LEGS           | XOPAZRIAN |
| BODY           | XOPAZRIAN |
| BACKPACK       | XAQUARIAN |

In this case, 2 parts are of Xaquarian race, the other 2 come from Xopazrian race. Since there is no majority of one singular race, Head race is taken in consideration. No:5699 belongs to the RACE of XYANIRIAN.
