Microputians

    by: Rokaido Author IconMail Icon
The Microputians are an inch tall in comparison to the Lilliputians. They have accepted the fact they are smaller than small and that there are people in the world that are just as big as the world.

Microputians are the only race with no continent to call home. They live off the other races in hidden hunter-gatherer societies. They are usually found in forests since they are the best places to hide from the bigger races. A myth spread amongst Microputians is that they used to have a homeland called Microputia, a prosperous nation ruled by a royal family. But it was destroyed in only a second by a careless Prodigan footstep, wiping out the continent and killing trillions. The few survivors were left with no choice but to sail off in search of a new home. Some believe that descendents of the royal family are still out there.

Microputians are most commonly found in Lilliput as it is the least dangerous place to live and the Lilliputians treat them with kindness. The Lilliputians help them out when they can as they can sympathize with being the smallest race. Marriages are common between the two races.Though there are some who love to learn what it's like to be big. Lilliput has made special efforts to integrate Microputians into their society and give them automatic citizenship upon their discovery.

The populations of the Microputians is in the trillions with no shortage in sight. They share a high fertility rate with the Lilliputians, which is also a result of having to replace their losses due to how easy it is for them to die. What is an average family size to the Lilliputians is just one brood to the Microputians. Microputians are capable of having hundreds of children and women are only pregnant for a month. Unfortunately, their high numbers mean the larger races seek them for nefarious purposes. To them, killing millions of them doesn't matter since they can just increase their numbers again through mass breeding.

Microputians have evolved significantly over the years to adapt to their hunter-gatherer lifestyle. They evolved small stomachs and a slower digestion system so they don't need to eat too often due to their limited food supply. Males do most of the hunter-gathering and have longer fingers and toes that allow them to better grab onto vines and branches as well as cling on to walls. Females who mostly care for the children have large breasts, allowing them to produce and store enough breastmilk to feed their many children.
