Common Martian
Description
When most humans think of Martians they immediately picture the
hideous alien Overlords, however it is the common Martians who make
up the bulk of Martian forces.
Common Martians resemble humans with bright yellow to gold (or occasionally
copper) skin tones and either black or red hair. They tend to be tall
and slender, but not exceptionally so. Aside from their skin colour
Martians can easily pass as Terrestrial humans. Martians are not quite
as strong as humans, but have at least equal endurance. They also have
excellent night-vision.
In recent years it has been proved that Martians and Earthlings can
interbreed. It has been suggested that the Martians are in fact humans
taken to Mars centuries ago by the Overlords as slave labour, however
since the common Martians have no records dating back that far this
theory is very difficult to prove.
