Highlights

Physiology

The physiology of the Norian species.

Norians are a versatile, evolved, and diverse species with several variants due to environmental differences that forced evolutionary differences between the various worlds the species has occupied since antiquity. While space travel was not developed until much later in the timeline, the Norians gained access to planetary gates developed by the ancients which allowed their travel and colonization of other worlds pre-space travel.

Common Physiology

Norians are a humanoid race with slender pointed ears typical of elven-like species. They stand taller than most elven-type races ranging in size from 5.2 to 6.1 feet. Males and females are sexually dimorphic; males tend to be larger in stature than females.

Form follows function. Women are more agile than their male counterparts. Their figures tend to be leaner, with hips fit for childbearing. Females have breasts, but though far from large curvy figures. As in most humanoid species, reproduction is nearly the same. Male and female mate. The female becomes pregnant, carries the child for 18 months, and bears the child.

Norians can live approximately 1600 years with some individuals reaching even 1700 years of age.

Lorenzian/Atlantean Norian

Lorenz was the first world the Norians colonized after their discovery of the planetary gates on their homeworld. It was a beautiful densely forested world that of all the worlds they would later colonize would be the closest to the conditions of their actual homeworld. Due to the ideal environment, few evolutionary mutations were made. The majority of Norians are part of this sub-species.

Telgath Norian

A rare Norian sub-species as that most were killed with the destruction of their homeworld during the Second Umarian War. Telgath was a high gravity world that was colonized after the age of biological engineering. The Myrmidon Corporation designed the Telgath body to withstand the stresses of the world they once lived on.

Dysterian Norian

The Dysterian Norians were from the Dysterian Colonies of the former Norian Galactic Federation. Their homeworld was destroyed along with almost all of their sub-species. This sub-species is non-playable.

Vespen Norian

Vespens are the newest sub-species of the Norians. They were genetically engineered in the Vespa Lekera System by Aester Aerum Eitan I. They notably all have pink hair, a pale complexion, and have bioluminescent genetic markings on their faces. They are rare and require permission to be played.

Diet

Most Norians are herbivores however some have adapted to an omnivore diet.

Life Cycle

Norians are sexually dimorphic and have typical genitalia. 2) Women are more agile than their male counterparts. Their figures tend to be leaner, with hips fit for childbearing. Females have breasts, but though far from large curvy figures. As in most humanoid species, reproduction is nearly the same. Male and female mate. The female becomes pregnant, carries the child for 18 months, and bears the child.

Norians can live approximately 1600 years with some individuals reaching even 1700 years of age.

Body Transfer and Recreational Husk Use

The Norians do possess body transfer technology through integrated digital essence (IDE), somewhat similar to that used by the Yamatai Star Empire. The technology is limited to the social elite and military and is not available to every citizen. Citizens often enlist in the military to gain access to technology.

The Elite have started using husks to engage in sexual relations for recreation with other species to prevent spiritual contamination and risk of procreation out of species. 3)
