*Edit : Added some shiny new phedan

Another update on the races of my universe, Tempesion

Some of them have tails which I omitted for clarity's sake... and other obvious reasons haha. I note which ones have tails below. All of these races are either male specimens of the species, or monogendered.

A few fun facts:

Kuma replaced the rauklin as the shortest race in Tempesion, as rauklin were no longer desired. They do not possess the technology to leave their solar system by themselves. Their homeworld of Darten is made of extreme valleys and mountains, with the kuma inhabiting the higher regions.

The pakan are a race native to the war-torn planet Shasta, also home to the kerohdi and kerohda. Their irregular physiology earns them much prejudice from other races. They invaded the human's homeworld early on in the universe's timeline, only to be repelled by combined dmargo / human forces. They have tails, though omitted for aesthetic reasons.

Humans of Tempesion are not from Earth; rather they developed on a planet called Taria which is 99% virtually identical to Earth in terms of climate, solar position, etc. This allowed for a human-like race to evolve there, 99.9% identical to Earth humans.

Discovered living under the surface of what was thought to be a dead world with an irregular star, the hardy phedan race were discovered very much alive, living in a vast system of geofronts. If brought offworld, their rouge-ish attitudes and knack for scavenging often make it difficult for them to integrate into more common life. They do however, make excellent mercenaries, scouts, and bounty hunters. They are thought to posses a very sophisticated knowledge of electronics, mechanics, and circuitry.

Dmargo are as dmargo always were. Hairless mammalian creatures (save for the hair on top of their heads) who are both very intelligent and peace-loving. They have much in common with human physiology. They also have tails, which was omitted for aesthetic reasons on the race chart. Their homeworld, Thysbe, contains many island chains surrounding a larger pangean continent.

Kerohdi are one of the more diverse races of the universe. Genetic mutant "cousins" of the kerohda race, the kerohdi only have one gender among their species. In keeping with most life on Shasta, kerohdi have three nostrils on either side of their necks, rather than a more traditional "nose." Like the pakan, they are often ridiculed and bad-mouthed for their physical appearance; many consider their posession of both male and female reproductive organs unclean, and think of their race as filthy. Their kerohda cousins hunt them down for this very fact, which led to the war-torn state of their homeworld, Shasta. Prejudice and racism aside, the kerohdi are one of the most intelligent species of the lot.

Ferrithians are a cold, independent race. They make excellent miners and spies, but are very difficult to earn trust from. Often times they see their only ally as themselves. Their homeworld, Nithera, is an icy rock.

The kerohda come from the planet Shasta, and are constantly in a state of war with their kerohdi cousins. They, like the kerohdi, are reliant on the weapons provided by the pakan to wage their war. Their carapace plating is made of dense cartilage, making them quite the hardy fighters. Many find their inverted eye colors difficult to look at during conversation. It's been rumored that the kerohda have been around the universe for the longest period of time, and their DNA matches eerily close to skeletal remains found inside the original Seraphim husk, Nadya.

Tsudayins are in an interesting place- being only at the feudal age of government, they own technology way more advanced for their time. A crashed spacecraft of unknown origin left no survivors, but much technology intact. All tsudayins knew tech-wise before coming into contact with other races stemmed from the derelict. One could say native tsudayins harness technology they are not fully aware of or ready for. They also have tails, which was omitted for aesthetic reasons on the race chart.

Maralyns. The big, mono-gendered organisms of constant strife, expansion, and general mayhem. They are also the most intelligent of all the races, and constructed vessels capable of traversing star systems decades before the others. The "egg" in a maralyn's chest houses the new body they'll use when the current one dies. They're reborn like a Phoenix, with the new body retaining all of the knowledge of the old one. This makes each maralyn incredibly smart and knowledgeable with each lifetime lived.
