Newmans are the result of an attempt to create a superior species of human.
Appearance: Although their physical abilities are undeveloped, they excel in their psi energies, and they are masters of psi techniques. They have a smaller frame than humans, and are ill-suited for close combat. Newmans have a charming appearance, with long tapered ears.
