Name: Alunrovaan
Designation: Sentient
Homeworld: Negosvern
Language: Tinvaok (non-canon Thu'um, w/ modifications. Translations Available)
Average Height of Adults: 5'6 ft
Skin Colour: Peach-Pale
Hair Colour: Only black b/c mutation causing rare presence of significant amounts of pheomelanin; more eumalanin means darker hair colour. Those with enough pheomelanin to have light coloured hair are considered noble blood usually; white hair (not necessarily always albino) symbolises Royal Blood
Breathes: Carbon
Strengths/Weaknesses:
- Strength/Weight and Limitations - In comparison to most other races, Alunroovaan (Alua'an for conventional and informal reference), exhibit extraordinary strength despite their commonly petite bodies. The primary factor in the development of superior strength in Alua'an derives from the muscle architecture. In comparison to most other races with similar humanoid figures, Alua'an's muscle fibers are more plentiful and more tightly woven on a macroscopic level. With additional muscle fibers, Alua'an may typically move their body with more efficiency and precision than most, and the average strength for a female is comparable to a war-elephant. Unfortunately, the addition of muscle fibers results in Alua'ans being extremely heavy, and the sheer density of their bodies tends to disagree with acts such as swimming. Furthermore, while the muscles are plentiful and well-developed, Alua'an bone density is fairly average compared to other races. As such, the amazing strength they wield is held back by their skeletal structure, with the very common occurrence of breaking bones as a result of using their strength.
- Spatial Reasoning - Not always present in all Alua'an; rather, only the force-sensitives. As the capacity to manipulate the force is common in Alua'an and a cultural must, one of the many subjects of the force they focus on in a child's youth is the ability to sense their surroundings. Using the force to grasp one's surroundings is fundamental in the training and education of the force to their young kin.
- Internal Organ - Alua'an have common internal-structures in regards to organs as many other races, such as a mono-cardiovascular system, and a brain to dictate the function of the body; however, Alua'an have an addition to their vital organs: the uzuur. The diaphragm in Alua'an are smaller than most, primarily due to the placement of the uzuur. The uzuur itself is a small organ, and the space it takes up does not lessen the diaphragm too much, but still a noticeable amount. The uzuur allows for molecular conversion of the carbon and silicon intake to form other essential nutrients for the body, allowing them to be completely sustained off of purely carbon and silicon. Because their whole body is dependent on the artificially produced nutrients given by the uzuur, loss of the uzuur's capacity to function will effectively kill off an Alua'an within a minute, unless some sort of life-support is given. The abilities of the uzuur make it a desirable item on the black market for those aware of the their existence; thus, not only does it add another vulnerability to the Alua'an, but a high price on their bodies.
- Feminine Bodies - Alua'an are frequently born with feminine looks, even as a male. Their muscle-density eliminates the necessity in expanding the body to make room for muscular development, taking out one of the things that defines a 'masculine appearance'. Also due to the development of their muscles, bone growth is somewhat stunted, frequently resulting in shorter and thinner bodies than most. Alua'an have the uzuur, which contributes to a feminine appearance in several ways. First, the placement of the uzuur. Taking up what would be some space for the diaphragm, Alua'an have higher-pitched. The uzuur is located below the diaphragm, often times making its placement a tad higher. This eliminates the need for longer vocal cords, which also contributes to higher pitched voices. The uzuur also artificially produces nutrients, making excessive fat nearly non-existent in them and maintaining a slim body in Alua'an. Because the uzuur produces nutrients for the body, the creation of Keratin is more easily moderated and attained. Because of this, hair is often extremely luscious, silky, and overall appealing. Furthermore, hair growth is accelerated, as cell-production in Alua'an can be done far faster than most due to production of their own nutrients. Given that, old cells are pushed out at a faster rate, thus more hair is produced. One of the few things that's not entirely explainable is the lack of hair growing throughout the rest of their bodies. Perhaps an evolutionary result, in which the attraction of smooth, hairless skin has eventually made it a dominant trait. Due to the rarity, Alua'an are frequently attracted to muscular, large forms with some facial hair, with the last being more likely a temporary trend amongst the young. A major feature in distinguishing males from females is chest-size.
- Overdeveloped Processing Speed/Elongated Temporal Sense - Carbon and silicon are the main two components consumed by Alua'an in any way. Alua'an is a carbon/silicon-based race, with many components of their body primarily built upon the two elements. Many organs in an Alua'an are primarily carbon, with select parts and tissues comprised of silicon. Silicon, being a semiconductor, is capable of translating electrical signals well while still retaining the capacity to do many functions for the body that carbon can. As a result, electrical signals are relayed from the rest of the body to the brain, with nerves being one of the few body parts comprised mainly of silicon. With electrical signals reaching the brain and being sent out faster, Alua'an suffer less of a time-delay than other races, allowing for faster processing speed and more finely tuned motor function and reflexes. Additionally, the brain can process information faster as a result, and effectively have the effect of "faster thinking" in layman terms. Unfortunately, this expands an Alua'an sense of time. While advantageous in some situations, they also suffer situations 'longer' than most. For example, in a torturous scenario, they comprehend the pain faster and essentially 'feel' it for longer amounts of time than most others in terms of sense. If an Alua'an were in a lonely situation? Despite not necessarily 'thriving' on social relations, they will still suffer the effects of isolation, and likely be 'hit' by these effects before others would, as they perceive this isolation for longer periods than most.
- Agile/Detail-Oriented - Due to the muscular structure and bone density of an Alua'an body, taking care of ones movements has become a thing of necessity, and eventually a cultural demand. Grace and elegance is a widely attractive trait, and exhibiting control of the body is equivalent to the human attraction to large breasts, aside from the supposed 'maternal-organ' effect. In tandem with their Overdeveloped Processing Speed, Alua'an may be accurately acclaimed to having extremely fast reflexes. On the other hand, their attention to physical movement has made them overly aware of 'detail'. Adding their processing speed, they may quickly notice and evaluate the details of most things they perceive, which often results in many Alua'an suffering from an assortment of 'effects' such as OCD.

Diet: not necessary to eat anything, but eating something with high carbon and/or silicon can give them a temporary boost of physique. The uzuur is limited in controlling nutrient creation and output, making it simply force out all the nutrients as fast as possible and essentially giving the body a surplus of nutrients to quickly burn off. Doing so stresses the uzuur and can ultimately damage the organ if frequency and consumption is too high. Eating anything that does not contain a suitably high amount of carbon and/or silicon can and will give Alua'an some internal 'difficulties'. The stomach, intestines, liver and kidneys, gall-bladder, etc. are still necessary. The uzuur creates nutrients out of re-arranged molecules of carbon and silicon, crystallises/liquifies the result and allows the rest of the body to handle it.
