+ | The Kerelians (Anglish: The People) are a race of sentient extraterrestrial humanoids who originate from the lush jungle planet of Kerelia. Other species are known to refer to them as " | ||

+ | ===== Description ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Kerelians are, on average, approximately 3 meters (~ 10 feet) tall, with smooth, striped cyan-colored skin, large amber eyes, and long, sweeping tails. Their bodies are more slender than humans. They were the first known extraterrestrial species discovered to have human-like consciousness and intelligence. Although the Kerelians were a society of hunter-gatherers with technology equivalent of Ventus Terra' | ||

+ | ===== Physiology ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Kerelian skin is smooth, iridescent, and cyan in color accentuated with slightly darker cyan stripes. Their bodies have feline-like features such as long sweeping tails, pointed ears and triangular faces with flat bifurcated noses, all framed with large, almost hypnotically golden eyes. Bioluminescent markings that seem to follow the path of the circulatory or nervous system aid in identification and mood display. The skin color is due to the presence of the cyanin pigment. It can " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Kerelians have a highly evolved nervous system including a queue which resembles a long, rather ostentatious hair braid. This seemingly conventional braid actually sheathes a remarkably intricate system of neural tendrils that can be connected to similar structures of other life-forms. Interestingly, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Kerelians appear to have no other body hair, with the exception of eyelashes and a small " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Kerelians have four fingers on each hand including opposable thumbs and four toes on each foot including opposable big toes. The waist is narrow and elongated. The shoulders are very wide, creating a V-shaped upper back. The neck is long and body slender. The musculature sharply defined, giving no sense of emaciation despite thin proportions. Their skeleton is reinforced with naturally occurring carbon fiber. Average male is approximately 3 meters (~ 10 feet) tall; females slightly smaller due possibly to evolutionary " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Dentition is similar to that of Baseline Humans, though the canines are more pronounced. They also have roughly four times the strength of the average Baseline Human. The average Kerelian life span is longer than that of a Baseline Human – approximately 30% longer – though they mature more rapidly. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Reproduction mechanics (e.g. physical coupling) are similar to humans and other Terran mammals. However, it should be noted that although female Kerelians have breasts similar to those on female Humans – also used to nurse their infants – they are not placental mammals and, as such, the actual internal reproductive biology is quite different from Terran mammals. | ||

+ | ===== Indigenous Culture and Society ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Kerelians are humanoid creatures that once lived in various territorial clans across Kerelia. Though their culture was essentially paleolithic, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Kerelians and other species may have been controlled by the sentient intelligence they worship as Valte. They choose to live in harmony and natural equilibrium with their surroundings. If they became too numerous, Valte may have devised a way to limit their numbers before they cause an ecological imbalance, for she would supposedly maintain the balance of life. Over the millennia, the Kerelians had developed a healthy respect and reverence for their surrounding environment. In return, Valte may have possibly affected the environment to provide them with sufficient food and shelter, creatures to ride for ground transportation, | ||

+ | The Kerelians had failed to develop tools and weapons for purposes beyond possible primitive warfare with the surrounding clans and hunting/ | ||

+ | |||
+ | In order to maintain a population balance, following contact and the establishment of peaceful relations between the Terran Alliance and several Kerelian Tribes, such as the Anurai, maybe began assimilating into Human Culture and established settlements on other worlds within Alliance space, in many cases where Human efforts were not expended or planets deemed too dangerous for corporate colonization efforts. Once the Kerelian Exodus began, in order to maintain their population balance on Kerelia with their native environment, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Kerelians living in urban society as we see it are no different from Baseline Humans in their beliefs or how they view society, having been separate for such a period of time from their native environment that many no longer understand the significance of their queue beyond mating with another Kerelian. |
