Re: GURPS Atomic Horror Loi race
They're from GURPS Atomic Horror.
They're inspired by stories of benevolent alien races, but (as far as I can tell) no one source was a majority source for the concept presented in the book. If there was such a source, that source would have been credited in the book - Steve Jackson Games is very good about acknowledging other people's intellectual property.

Re: GURPS Atomic Horror Loi race
Specifically they're the book's version of what UFO enthusiasts like to call "Nordics".
(Similarly, Alphans are loosely based on Greys; I think Metarans aren't based on anything from "real" UFO lore but just on bug-eyed movie monsters. Reptoids are suspiciously absent.) |

Re: GURPS Atomic Horror Loi race
Well I want to make my version of Loi Race like Superman's people, or Invicable's Race
Um my idea takes place in 1950's America starting in 1950 each novel will be a year of my main character's life starting at 10 years old for my Boy character. I'm Anglo Canadian person who wants to keep to Racial problems in America, this is a YA novel series to the Black American members of this forum I will no White Wash History, the 1950's in America weren't good time to be non White. His Best Friend is a Black Boy of the same age, they are both Outsiders in this Large Town. LW |

Unlikely. There are Reptoids in Monster Hunters 5: Applied Xenology In fact, it has 4e stats for Nordics, Reptoids, and Greys. |
