Echani-Soikan ([ɛˑʃɑˑniˑ sɔɪkən])
A hybrid species that combines the genetics of the Echani and the Soikans to varying degrees.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Echani-Soikans are known to have the same hemocyanin-based blood as Echani.
Genetics and Reproduction
Echani-Soikans have more difficulty reproducing as they are combining a third set of genetics into their own. For the most part, they can reproduce with humanoids who have similar reproductive systems.
Additional Information
Facial characteristics
Echani-Soikan share the same angular facial characteristics as the Echani.
Their colouration varies between individuals. Most had white hair, although some had a genetic mutation that made their hair slightly more silver. Echani-Soikans' eyes were typically silver or lilac, but one case demonstrated a true combination of both colourations to create an opalescent shade in the iris that varied between lilac and silver depending on the lighting.
Geographic Origin and Distribution
This hybrid species is endemic to Eshan.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Like the Echani, this hybrid species possesses an inner ear structure that provides them with heightened balance and coordination.
Due to the Arkanians' genetic manipulation of the Echani, the hybrid species occasionally displays a naturally high count of midi-chlorians in their blood.
Civilization and Culture
Naming Traditions
Echani-Soikans, as they live on Eshan, follow Eshani naming customs.
Culture and Cultural Heritage
Echani-Soikan children follow the customs of the Eshani and place a high value on combat and a dedication to their society.
As they are, however, part Soikan, some occasionally disagree with the rigid structures of Eshan.
History
Echani-Soikans first appeared on Eshan in the year 50 BBY when ex-Jedi Tuniz Brinna, an Echani, and Bennek Mehn, a Soikan, had twin boys Sovo and Orvinn.
