Terminology of the Reflectons setting

Neo-People: Genetically engineered races created from human and animal DNA. Legally property of the nation or company who ordered their creation. They cannot legally have more than 40% of uniquely human DNA meaning they can in theory have as much as 99.4% the same as humans. Commonly referred to as neos.

Felis: human feline hybrid neo. They have approximately 85% of the same DNA as humans. Fur covered, with ditigrade posture, claws, tail. Facial features are a mix of human and feline. Pointed cat ears can hear in the ultrasonic range. Eyes can see in extremely low light. Able to walk upright or go faster on all fours. Used by the military.

Kanids: dog, human hybrid neo fur covered, colorblind, superhuman sense of smell. Ultrasonic hearing although not capable of hearing as wide a range of frequencies as felis. Like the catlike neo they are capable of bipedal or quadruped locomotion. Used by law enforcement agencies, military police and some private security firms.

Noxes: bovine humanoid neo. Strong, large, not too bright. Used for unskilled labor, jobs requiring heavy lifting or agriculture. Not capable of quadrupedal locomotion but they do have some ultrasonic hearing. Their eyes are also capable of independent movement, able to focus in two different directions. Some find it disconcerting.
