- | ===== History ===== | ||
- | Give an overview of the history of the species. This section can be expanded upon in a completely separate article if so desired. Include their first appearance in the RP, pre-RP history, and their previous national affiliations (if applicable). | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Physiology ===== | ||
- | ==== External physiology ==== | ||
- | The K’aian musculoskeletal system is characterised by a distinct lack of physical bones and muscles. Rather than using a traditional skeletal structure, the K’ai utilise structured cartilage complemented by a hydrostatic organ structure that allows them to move and maintain stability. Additionally, | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Internal physiology === | ||
- | The K’ai generally posses a more efficient immune system, due to their blood proteins being based on copper, rather than iron. Their immune system functions via a hybrid method. When toxins are detected in the blood, the cells will clump around it, and suffocate the area, preventing the nutrients from getting to bacteria or viruses. The K’ai metabolism is rather high, with them having to consume a large amount of food to maintain their albeit mostly slender form. The K’ai maintain an average body temperature similar to humans, but can also maintain a higher degree of separation from their healthy body temperature. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Neurobiology ==== | ||
- | The K’ai possess a similar brain structure to humans, but can be differentiated by a few major factors. For one, they possess a psionic organ known as a proto-cortex, | ||

- | |||
- | ==== Diet ==== | ||
- | The K'ai species can eat all foods similar to a standard human, but tend to lean towards herbivorous. The K'ai diet generally consists of various plants and animals, of varying levels of processing, including flour based products such as puff pastries, plant roots, and rice-like grubs. Additionally, | ||
- | |||
- | Alcohol is not drank recreationally, | ||
- | ==== Environment ==== | ||
- | The K'ai live in mostly humid, temperate environments, | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Life Cycle ==== | ||
- | The K'ai live on average for around 350-500 years, starting as tadpoles. Words. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Misc ==== | ||
- | K’ai exchange genetic information psionically, | ||

- | ===== Culture ===== | ||
- | The K’ai are a race of scientists and innovators. The application of intelligence is seen as the highest form of status, and to be well-learned is considered a high achievement. | ||
- | |||
- | Coming of age ceremonies are held once every 5 years. They typically consist of a small group of close friends that get together to challenge each other in a mental capacity. The idea is to demonstrate what the individual has learned over time and accomplished. The knowledge of the individual is celebrated as well, and the person wishes a prosperous life for another 50 years. | ||
- | |||
- | Acquiring friends is an interesting process for the K’ai, primarily because it is extremely similar to that of a job search. In order to become a “Friend” or Qu' | ||

- | ==== Language ==== | ||
- | Bidetan is a primarily psionic language. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Naming ==== | ||
- | Describe naming practices. Ideally, this section should make it easy for players to create names for their own player characters. | ||
