The Angellonians

Angellonians are usually 8ft 8in and wiegh around 400 lbs. they have seven eyes: the center eye which sees like a human eye except any color that is not blue, black, white, red or yellow is dull in color and may instead have a grey look to it instead, the top front two eyes which sees heat, two top back eyes which sees in uv and two bottom eyes which sees sound waves. they have a forked tongue to taste the air and food. they have two horns which at a young age are short and barely curve but as they get towards adult hood their horns will begin to grow longer and depending on their lineage of the tribe they come from those horns may curve in unique styles. they have four fingers with claws and four toes with claws as well. they have long chins which grow as they reach adult hood and the males have facial hair while the females have longer hair. they have mandibles which is used for eating and showing emotion such as "clapping" them together may show humor or joy. they are very humanoid in shape but they have digitigrade like legs instead. their bodies are covered in scales while the head surrounding the eyes and the horns is actually exoskeleton in nature and they have gills on their necks which can only work in freshwater as saltwater would greatly irritate and damage the gills. their body color conists of two things: main body color and pattern color. the main body color and pattern color is determined based on their ancestry such as the Spartians are mainly blue bodies with black pattern colors while the Zhedakm are red with black pattern colors. their skull consists of two parts: the dome bone and the facial bone: the dome where the brain and spine connects to and the the cord for the eyeballs connect from into the eyes, and the facial bone where the mandibles, jaw, eye sockets for the eyeballs, top teeth are placed. Their skeleton anatomy is similar to a human skeleton except there are 32 bones in the spine instead of 33 and 16 ribs in the ribcage instead of 24 and their legs are digitigrade instead of plantigrade(similar to the sengheili legs).

Males are taller and more masculine in shape and have facial hair while the females grow longer hair and do not have facial hair and their tusks are shorter than the males of their ethnic group. Males and females both have the same lifespan of 800 years old. females have alternate color patterns than males such as a male spartian may be blue with black patterns, a female may be black with blue patterns.

they reproduce somewhat like mammals and the females carry their young for a whole Angellonian year which is around 32 months carrying from 1-8 babies but the common average is 2 babies.

they don't reach adulthood until they are 200 years old and the average lifespan of an Angellonian is 800 years until they die of natural causes. they reach puberty by 100 years old and their horns start to grow and shape and body hair starts to grow while females grow into a more feminine shape and their mandibles grow longer.

the ideal environment of this species is basically anywhere it lives, they can adapt to almost any environment (as long as the air is hospitable) but their home world is mostly covered with savannas, arctic regions, Jungles and deserts.

they are mainly carnivorous but rarely eat vegetation but mostly out of necessity if there is no other food available. they can last for eight weeks without water and 32 weeks without food until starvation. the most common dish on Angellonia is the Shen'Shou steak and Pigeonista legs or a clam chowder like soup.

as Angellonians reach elder status their body colors start to dull and become somewhat more grayish and their eyes become dull in color as well but no signs of blindness. but once every 100 years or whenever their skin is heavily damaged they will start to shed their skin healing any damage or growing any parts of their bodies that may need to grow except for serious damage which end up leaving a scar instead of ever healing(such as chipped mandibles or very deadly burn marks or broken horns(which would somewhat heal but never regain the same shape and size as it once was)).

They live in a patriarch society with males being the dominant gender and females being caregivers to young and assistants to their husbands when called upon. they are separated into eight different tribes each with a leader who is called a chieftain and then each tribe has eight commanders who control 1/8 of the tribes's corresponding army and the Zhedakm tribe father who is called "The General" controls the entire Angellonian armies and all of their elite units except the Spartianians. Their Priesthood has an elite unit who is the only army that is not under control of "The General" called the Zealots who are considered to be the only warriors that are more skilled and stronger and tougher than the Zhedakm tribe.

males have long tendrils which is the equivalent of hair. they have four of these hairs on each side of their chins as beards(some Angellonians may have eight by eight instead of the four by four numbers of hairs) and eight on the back of their head as hair.

they are sentient and highly intelligent using tools and creating advanced devices such Star fighters and cloaking technology. they can read and write in their own language which only the Angellonians know. they can farm and raise their own food and know basic medical education and are highly skilled fighters.

they can see heat, uv, sound waves and blues, reds, blacks, whites and yellows but other colors are dull with a grey hue/ tint to it. their ears are located at the top of the jaw in a disc shape made of bone with scales that are a lighter color than the main body color and they have a sense of touch that is very strong able to even detect pregnancy of female organisms. only one tribe of Angellonians can use Psionic powers which are Moartians but only to an extent such as moving objects with their minds, mind reading and telepathy. it would take a large group of them to move giant structures.

Angellonian names are based off of their talents, skills or unique physical features such as: long tusks, swift kicker, silent swimmer. female names are mostly based of nature and sometimes physical features such as: calm wind, smooth river, glowing eyes. the last names are based off occupation or what the family patriarch is known for such as: Aurrstrich tamer, fisher, hunter, farmer, soldier, warrior or piloter.

The Angellonian Empire.

Beauty is not entirely what makes a potential mate, just as long they look descent and well groomed is good enough for them but beauty does sometimes take a part in finding a wife or husband.

Males are expected to be strong warriors/workers and not feminine while females are expected to be meek and obedient to their husbands and feminine, taking care of the children while they are young.

Males are expected to be providers and great warriors/workers, males who do not meet any of these are not as likely to be married and produce offspring which can bring great dishonor to their families. females who are not obedient or promiscuous are seen very poorly upon and may not become married resulting in bringing dishonor to their families. they are monogamous, and if their partner dies, they would commonly never remarry even though there is no law or religious command preventing one to do so.

They seek loyalty, honesty, honor but most importantly having the same faith as them. they usually don't seek friendship from non Angellonians as their lifespans are most of the time much shorter than theirs and mostly the non Angellonians are not equals to them concerning combat prowess or intelligence.

Aetherium based technology which is their own native resource that no other being in the cosmos has in their possession giving them a huge advantage in technological advancements. they have used this technology on their space crafts and their weapons enhancing them and their medicines, able to allow warriors to live longer lifespans than they usually would. But they did get a major jump of technology when an alien race attempted to conquer their homeworld but failed miserably causing the Angellonians to reverse engineer the alien tech left behind.

They mostly speak Angellonian but can learn other languages very easily if able to (such as having the correct organs to make the needed sounds for said language).

they respect and honor their authority and elderly figures and their religion is more important than any command given by any authority figure. Males are very respectful to any female beings and children are to be highly obedient to their parents until married and are not quick to wrath and are peaceful before they attack (ask questions first then fire).

they cover themselves to not be naked only showing their lower legs and neck and covering the shoulders and chest and back side. they wear long loincloth like clothing on their hips going down to their knees and some tribes wear hoods covering their heads and some covering their faces with veils..

They originate from a kazu sheep herding tribe and are direct descendants of Ashkrnov, a kazu sheep herder which influences some of their cooking styles and the way they interact with their environment and how they dress themselves.

they all at least once in their lifetime go to the temple and make an animal sacrifice to their God as a form of worship by taking in the most dangerous animals that comes from their birthplace and sacrificing it at the altar in the temple. when you greet another, you salute to them if they are from another tribe and bow to them if they are from the same tribe with a hand salute by raising it slightly as you bow downwards to a fellow tribe member. when an Angellonian goes to worship their God, they make a stone altar in the shape of an octagon base with a cone roof with wood burning inside and a blood sacrifice from an animal(depending on the worship depends on the different kind of animal, such as a bird sacrifice as a form of worship for healing or a cattle like animal for a fruitful harvest), this form of sacrifice is performed for non-sin related rituals.

fornicating, incest (siblings, parents, grandparents, up to fourth cousins and other immediate family), killing a fellow worshiper of "The Divine One" or Angellonian or shedding blood of innocence (a Baby of any beings whether Angellonian or not).

Angellonians came into being after the eight tribe fathers, descendants of the four patriarchs, gave forth offspring with their wives and by the time they had finished baring children the Angellonians could numbered by the hundreds and thousands (possibly around half a million). they are an infamous empire in the cosmos and feared by the huge majority (around 80-95%) of the galaxy for their fierce combat prowess and skills that are nearly unmatched.Angellonians can easily trace their roots back to one of the eight tribe fathers by seeing their body features and comparing it to one of the tribe fathers and what skill they are more naturally good at compared with other Angellonians.

Ashkrnov who is the ancestor of all Angellonians, "The Patriarchs" who are the sons of Ashkrnov: Wedamael, Gosar, Fhartia, Khedakar, "The Tribe Fathers" who are the sons of "The Patriarchs" founders of the tribes of Angellonia, Zhedekar a Tribe Father who was elected the title of "General", Commander Ashakariel who conquered the Gen'Jen Empire (who were mantis like beings) granting him the title of General and earning himself the Blue heart medal for his bravery and great combat prowess and the bone tattoo of the Khan for destroying an entire Empire, Commander Pholodofh who had took over an entire planet by himself using only a wrist blade and his hands forcing the former occupants of Er+h to surrender and become enslaved earning himself the Conqueror's medal and the bone tattoo of the Conqueror for taking a planet by himself while his comrades had retreated, Commander Zakaraia who was a prophet was granted the title of "The Lightning Rider" by "The Divine One" Himself supposedly able to summon lightning and thunder upon his foes and riding electricity across the heavens, Commander Vulkanar who had fought in the Great Galactic War and the Great Holy War of the Heavens (G.H.W.H) winning both wars earning himself two Silver Cross medals and the honor of being granted the sacred bone tattoo of the Zealot which only the holiest of warriors are granted.

the legend of "The Fallen One" which their sacred holy scrolls mention but his name is forbidden to spoken of and except for one historical text which mentions his existence in a small portion of an event which most of the text is no longer eligible due to a rebellion that had took place on Angellonia. supposedly "The Fallen One" was an angelic being of "The Divine One" who had sinned against him and was cast down onto Angellonia as punishment but then "The Fallen One" had begun to deceive the Angellonians into worshiping him which then later a war had took place with "The Tribe Fathers" leading the fight to then capture "The Fallen One" and then took a "Scar maker" with a unique symbol pressing it against "The Fallen One's" head leaving a burn scar and then they put a "bone tattoo" saying " Cursed be ye, oh fallen one, to have fought against the creator Himself, banished are ye forever and may all of creation desire to see the day of your destruction, may no one speak of your name no longer, begone, depart from me forever". and so then they dropped him into "the bottomless pit of Hades" but such evidence lacks except for a signature seal of Yosar which was found broken next to this historical scroll which is the only thing that gives this scroll legitimacy.   another legend is when during the second conquest war: the Angellonians were not able to destroy the city of ice of Wrwiwak'Ladir for eight months, therefore Zhedakar went into the badlands on Orijhin and climbed up to "The Great Horned Lo'Tye's" lair within a cave upon the mountains. and he spoke with the mighty beast and fought him. Zhedakar won and from the respect of beast, let him ride him across the world and to aid Zhedakar in any battle when he blows his trumpet. modern day Angellonians have not seen this beast or found it mentioned in any holy text so it's legitimacy has not been recognized by the majority of the population.

they view all non believers as inferior beings who should not continue their existence unless they convert. they usually after conquering an alien race, enslave them if they don't convert and all non Angellonians can not enter their military or religious occupations.
