Parallel Realities Species Bio-Sheet
Race:
Artician (Ar-TEE-shee-on)
Average Height:
5'8"-6'4"
Max Life Span (many variables apply):
150-2000 years
Population:
1
Government:
Constitutional Monarchy
Appearance:
A bipedal race that look exactly the same as humans.
Biology/Culture:
Mammals. Adaptive-DNA.
While looking exactly like humans, Artician are very different down to their genetics and capabilities. Artician DNA is in constant flux. It is neither levo-rotational nor dextro-rotational. Their genetics is due to the harsh environment of their homeworld. They were required to evolve at a much more rapid rate than that of any other species. This required genetics that had to rapidly adapt to any new environment.
Though once Articians evolved to the point where they mastered their homeworld, their Adaptive-DNA still remained. Their race soon discovered that their DNA could imitate other races once they made first contact with the Rasitians. It's very painful, but their DNA can change without distorting their appearance. The feeling of changing their DNA is akin to having every cell in the body set in fire as their body rapidly adapts. With this ability Articians found that they are able to [SECTION CLASSIFIED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE].
Along with their Adaptive-DNA Articians had to evolve advance abilities to live on their harsh planet. Articians evolved nodes in their nervous systems that allows them to manipulate Dark Energy and [CLASSIFIED]. Their intelligence also rapidly evolved along with their strength. Children had to mentally mature so they were able to take on advance tasks at an early age as to ensure the survival of their clans in the early stages of their civilizations.
Galactic Government was created by the Artician, Rasitian, Tia'zus and Rak'en races. This form of government has existed for fifty thousand years. The legacy of the Artician race sadly ended over twenty years ago when a Human extremist group called Cerberus unleashed a techno-plague upon their galaxy. Only one Artician lives. A Tiven'Vian, which are [CLASSIFIED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE].
Articians follow a code of honor that they will uphold to their deaths. This in turn makes them very fortified in their will when it comes to morality and ethics. While Articians usually remain calm, cool and collective, they can become violent to the point where they need to be executed if [CLASSIFIED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE]. It's at this point they are considered dead and that putting them down is an act of mercy.
Race:
Rasitian (Ra-sii-SHEE-on)
Average Height:
5'8"-6'4"
Max Life Span:
500 years
Population:
2,000,000,000
Government:
Social Democracy
Appearance:
A bipedal race with varying skin tones from pink to purple. Four-fingered hands and four toed feet. Body type for males and females are very similar to Human or Artician. Four eyes. A curtain membrane comes out from the back of their head. Females' membranes usually are shoulder length. Males are around several inches. The original purpose of this membrane was display for mating rituals. In current civilization, membranes are used for individuality and decoration. Meaning its purpose has not exactly changed over time.
Biology/Culture:
Amphibious.
Rasitian's homeworld is 90 percent water. They evolved to be able to live in an aquatic and terra environment. Cities on their homeworld are large population centers that float on water surfaces or, if their city is large enough, is held up by large supports that going down to the bottom of their oceans. Their diet is most fish based so vegetation is not a concern. Resources, such as metals and fuel are easily accessible through the ocean floor.
Rasitians were the second civilization to become a space-faring race. They are among the first members of the Galactic Order.
Race:
Praetorin (PRAY-tor-in)
Average Height:
6'7"-7'5"
Max Life Span:
600 years
Population:
2,000,000,000
Government:
Participatory Democracy
Appearance:
A bipedal race of reptilians. They still retain their tail, but it is a very slender, whip-like appendage. Their claws are roughly three inches long on their hands and toes. Four fingers and toes. They have a short snort with a mixture of razor-sharp teeth and molars. Their scales have shrunk in size making them look less armored than any other lizard, but their scales are many times more durable. Their snout is short and lake a protruding noise. Instead they have two slits for nostrils. Their eyes are very large, about the size of a balled fist.
Biology/Culture:
Reptilian.
Their homeworld is a jungle planet. Temperatures in the 90s and humid at high levels. Pratorins ancestors lived in trees and travel through their tops to avoid their many predators. They evolved to be slender and very agile. Their muscles are tightly bundled (similar to Articians) which gives them more strength than it looks like they are capable of. This makes their bodies very hard to the touch. They still retain their reptilian regenerative abilities. They can lose an arm, leg or a tail and regrow it. This ability does not apply to their heads or fatal injuries.
Race:
Rak'en (Rak-in)
Average Height:
5'-5'6"
Max Life Span:
300 years
Population:
2,500,000,000
Government:
Communistic Democracy
Appearance:
A Quadrapedal race of insectoids. Rak'ens move on four slender legs and have two arms. This brings the number of appendages to six. They have wings which allow them to fly long distances. Their body is similar to a beetle held in a vertical position. They technically means they walk upright. They have eyes like a fly which gives them a wide viewing range. Their mouths are a mixture of plated lips and two mandibles that cover those lips.
Biology/Culture:
Insect.
Rak'en ancestors lived in large underground burrows. Rak'ens still do to a point. They have large underground cities. Each colony city can be up to thirty five square miles in size. Rak'en are a close community race and see each other as family. They retain a system of government where resources are shared equally among the population.
Race:
Tia'zu (TEE-a-zuh)
Average Height:
6'10"-7'8"
Max Life Span:
400 years
Population:
2,000,000,000
Government:
Republic
Appearance:
A bipedal race of armored reptilian/avian beings. Their body is covered by plates of thick bone. They have three fingers and toes. Each are clawed. Their eyes are sunken and can be easily overseen due to the plates that surround the eye hole. The most flexible part of their body is their mouth which is still soft tissue and skin. They are exclusively carnivorous.
Biology/Culture:
Reptilian/Avian.
Tia'Zus were cliff dwellers in their ancestry. Most of their current cities are based around cliffs. Tia'Zus were once hunter-gatherer tribes but have gone into farming of their foods. They were uplifted by the Articians, but not by too far ahead. Tia'Zus were already capable of orbital travel by the time of their first contact. Tia'Zus, despite their nightmarish appearance, are polite and reserved race of people.
Race:
Exion (Ex-ee-on)
Average Height:
5'8"-6'4"
Max Life Span:
400-2000 years
Population:
2,000,000,000
Government:
Direct Democracy
Appearance:
A bipedal race of synthetic beings. Each generation looks different than that of the previous generation. 1st generation Exion bodies were metallic androids. The newest generation of Exion (5th) look like an Artician or Human save for their slightly glowing retinas. Each Exion will have a different color of retina. As a law, no Exion will look like any living Artician.
Biology/Culture:
Electronic/Synthetic/AI
Exions were created by accident by the Articians in an experiment into creating advance automotive services. Their programming evolved on its own and created what became known as the 1st generation of Exions. The Galactic Order followed their guidelines of what is considered sentient life and gave the Exions their freedom and status as a sentient race. The Exions became a heavily involved race in the galactic stage allowing each civilization develop at a faster rate.
The creation of AIs was bestowed upon the Exions as their means of reproduction. Each generation was more developed than the last. They tried to imitate organic life more and more. Eventually they developed emotions by their 3rd generation. By the 5th they acted like any other race. While each generation is not as powerful as the 1st, they considered their emotions and developed consciousness as a good trade off.
The extinction of the Artician race was considered the saddest day in their existence as they lost who they considered to be their parent race.
