Hunter's Moon
This file should only be viewed by an official Justice League member, or those with clearance by Batman: senior League Member/Founder.
During ancient times, people believed that gods had visited/created them with tools and knowledge worthy of titans. Little did they know that these gifts were just toys, with a sinister goal in mind for the savage humans to grow and use as they saw fit. The "gifts" were brought to them by a race known only as the Yautja, these extraterrestrial Santa impersonators delivered all of these things for one reason: Hunting.
The Yautja evolved on a planet of constant dangers, due to the strange rotation of the planet, most nights would last an equivalent of two whole work days in almost absolute darkness, in certain areas. This lack of light allowed them to develop two vision "modes" that they could change at will, the first would be the same as a human's but with far more definition, with all the colors included, the second is a natural alternative to thermal goggles with slightly less efficiency.
The gravity on their home planet is so high, that every creature on it would be double the weight of similarly sized animals on earth, this high gravity forces stress onto the muscles of Yautja even when they are asleep, which makes their musculature have a density similar to concrete.
Their ability to adapt to any environment can't be stressed enough, they may breath slightly more nitrogen than humans, but breath similar levels of oxygen, in short… they can have trouble breathing earth's atmosphere for a few hours, possibly a day, but will quickly adapt to the point were they can breath more efficiently than humans in their own environment. Though most prefer warmer temperatures, they can and will thrive in almost any temperature and climate.
Their culture at first glance may seem simple, but is far from it, Female Yautja have reigning status over almost all males, females also tend to be double the standard male's height and weight, ranging from nine feet, to almost thirteen feet tall. They are treated with the utmost respect by males as this was instilled during evolution to protect, kill, and die for the female.
Females are not only capable of back-handing a steel security door down a hallway, but are very intelligent, usually more so than most males, most who have at least a collage level understanding of most subjects (note: art forms are included) which means that most females are budding geniuses compared to human standard intelligence. Yautja also live very long life spans, the standard maximum is several centuries, but it has been recorded that several Yautja (note: male and female) lived to be many centuries old and could still decimate a small squad of special forces soldiers, even if they died in the process.
Ironically enough, their gestation period is usually only nine months, and they generally have developmental milestones in the same order as humans do. Yautja find recreation mainly in hunting, hunts appear to be varied depending on the subject involved, for example: Rights of Passage, all Yautja who are capable, are required to hunt a potentially dangerous creature and take a trophy from the corpse, or whatever is left at least once. Some hunts are preformed with the father and sons, and danger will vary depending on age, other hunts may be between daughters and mothers (note: grandparents appear to be welcomed enthusiastically to hunts).
This does not mean all Yautja are warriors, jobs can range from the military, security, advertisement, agriculture, business (note: small and large), diplomacy, teaching, science, medicine, and even art (note: music, plays, television, statues, ect…). Government systems run similarly to the united states but with more spacing between territories, as they hold hundreds of planets as their own and share several with other species.
The most complicated parts of their government is grouping, as many Yautja identify with a "clan" but are not actually related to many of their fellow clan members (note: similar to crime-families with multiple families/houses as a base to their population) and are usually led by an "elder" or a group of them in most cases, the elders are democratically picked out of a certain number of candidates, and would best be compared to a mayor/governor position with a large command on local military forces (note: only one of five elders is male on average).
Instead of presidents, the Yautja peoples are led by a queen, the queens are all of the same family even if they are not related by blood (note: homosexuality is not only completely excepted, but revered when it comes to children/pups of lesbians). There is no king position, only the husband to the queen, generally the husband is selected by the queen personally for qualities they desire (note: love of children, protectiveness, unquestioning loyalty, and even virginity are qualities that prevent those who are "unworthy" to marry a queen). The queen's husband is considered royalty and treated as such, but the children are given a odd environment to grow in, they are as dotted on as they are expected to be cold-blooded killers in equal forms.
There is one group amongst the Yautja, which is both strange and suspicious, they are known as Arbitrators, they are the royal families personal body guards, and the elite police-forces, and the bounty hunters. Many Arbitrators can be compared to S.W.A.T or even military officers, and they undergo training that makes any division of both Yautja and other species military training (note: my own, and even Cassandra's League of Shadows training included) look like an absolute joke.
Arbitrators are required to be pillars of justice, truth, and even kindness, to levels that rival Superman. They are beyond dangerous (note: no one in the league should ever engage a Arbitrator for whatever reason as they would be well within their rights to kill anyone royalty or not.) in almost any form of combat, and are equipped with the most advanced and well made/forged equipment ever seen amongst their species. The most shocking of all, is that they use these skills and technology sets to get rid of one thing most of all, crime.
In Yautja culture, doing something "dishonorable" is considered incredibly offensive (note : calling someone dishonorable in Yautja culture is one of the most heinous insults to be uttered: recommend total silence when in combat). When crimes are committed, they take punishment to disgusting extremes… thieves have hands removed depending on the monetary value of the items, but usually death is the "equal" punishment to most crimes. Incredibly enough, crime in Yautja space is dirt-low due to the extreme measures taken against criminals. The only crimes that seem to have any form of regularity are the worst of all (note: rape, domestic-violence, murder, corruption, blackmail, kidnapping, slavery) (secondary note: almost all rapes are female-on-male, as well as domestic-violence).
Armaments: The Yautjas are incredibly old, and have invented technology that puts most races to shame across the board. Weapons tend to very greatly and can be under several categories.
Medical:
Sting-Gel: Made for battlefield surgery, can be mixed with almost anything to make a glowing blue liquid, which pulls the wound closed, then cauterizes.
Syringes: each medical pouch holds several syringes to be used for different injuries, but I have so far not identified more than half of what they are supposed to do.
Scalples: many types of scalpels, each one can be as dangerous as any combat knife but of much finer quality.
Close-Range:
Double Wrist Blades: One of the most basic but deadly weapons in a Yautja arsenal, can change lengths of short, medium, and long, with only a thought and is made of unknown materials.
Singular Wrist Blade: Very similar to the previous weapon but is a single, slightly wider blade, similar to a backwards facing Katana. For more precise kills, and for use in one-on-one battles but still as deadly.
Knives: Usually as diverse as humans prefer, a knife for any situation.
Martial Arts: Yautja martial arts are a combination of MMA, Sumo/Wrestling, and boxing. Adding in their sheer power makes them deadly even if they gain only a glancing blow upon the enemy (added note: able to turn Mongle into a quivering, moaning, bruise with no apparent effort.) (personal note: Do not make our resident hunter angry anymore, I may not survive the experience).
Tonfa Blades: Connected to their gauntlet, capable of spinning like a blender, changes length as well.
Medium-Range:
Kombi-stick: Extendible, made of unknown metals and can cleave giant monsters in half or poke clean through a titanium door can be thrown or used to block.
Glaive: Extendible, duel flat blades, same properties Kombi-stick.
Whip: Originally used for cornering dangerous animals, can "segment" into a whip of blades, extendable length.
Dart Gun: Fires crescent shaped, super-light darts at high speeds(faster than most hand-gun munitions), extremely deadly, twenty per magazine.
Plasma Caster: Fires superheated plasma, variable levels of charge(highest level of ship cannons can actually singe superman's hair slightly) accurate, shoulder mounted, dual shoulder mounted, or used like a rifle/hand-gun.
Long-Range:
Kombi-stick: Can be thrown long-range.
Dart Gun: Can be fired at long-range
Plasma Caster: Can be fired at long-range
Special:
Mines: Can be remotely detonated, motion triggers, sound triggers, heat triggers.
Laser grid: Portable boxes, stick to any surface, cut through almost anything
Wrist computer: A portable version of the bat-computer but slightly more advanced settings than justice league devices. Can do almost anything. (personal note: Flash tried to play video games on it, but couldn't control it very well, seems to be designed so most things with fingers can't operate it without training.)
Self destruct: Unknown bomb, of unknown materials, capable of destroying two city blocks in terms of yield, placed inside the wrist computer with unknown activation codes.
In short, any Yautja young or old, with less than kind reasons to be on this planet should be handled by the only Yautja senior member/founder of the Justice League or, if he is not present on the Watch Tower, you should alert any available senior or founding members you can. (personal note: I am grateful he's on our side, especially after what I've seen him do.)
Batman, out…
