destiny-3ps-epl-226.jpg
Name: Drethamiriz
Designation: Sentient
Homeworld: Will make world later
Language: Drethshi, common (Very accented, Think something along the lines of a werewolf speaking German.)

Average height of adults: Males range from 1.9m to 2,6M in height Females range from 1.7m to 2.2m
Skin color: Sometimes they have streaks of colors reflective of a rare hair color down their back, similar to a tiger's stripes but more intricate seeming like natural tribal tattoo's passed from parent to child.

Breathes: Type 1 Atmosphere can handle Type 2 for short periods of time. (Up to a couple of hours, depending on the Drethamiriz's endurance and stamina.)

Strengths: [2 minimum]
Deceptively Strong: Despite their lean frames they are easily three times stronger than normal Humans, close to wookies but not at their level of strength either.
Regeneration: They heal much quicker than humans, Bruises heal in hours instead of the human standard of day's this also makes it so that even in old age the Drethamiriz are strong and spry until the very last decades of their lives.
Dexterity: Their hand eye coordination is better than a humans, making their hands nimble even when there are four of them.

Weaknesses: [2 minimum]
Very Low force sensitivity: If force sensitivity with humans would be 1:10.000 then it would be 1:1.000.000 for the Dreathmariz Leaving only a small handful at the best of times per generation of force sensitives of the species.
Cold sensitivity: Require more precautions against planets with cold climates.

Distinctions:
Tail: up to at least half their standing height in length.
Long Forked tongues: Reaching up to around 30 cm in length.
Distinct skin: Reminiscent of furred scales but also seems to be distinctly skin like as well.
Multiple arms: Can grow up to have between 2, 4 or 6 arms

Average Lifespan: Up to 2200-2400 years (Adult at 130 years) Oldest on record 2967 (Was in a horrible state at his 2800'th year.)

Culture:
In their earlier stages of development their society was one of honorable warriors and raiders much like a mix of the Vikings and Spartans of Earth of old which might make them to most outsiders seem barbaric at first glance, given that they held true to their heritage and culture. They live in clan based towns and (Insert planet name here) only has around three cities with space ports on the entirety of the surface. Their penchant for melee weapons and slughthrowers instead of blasters and energy based weapons might also push under the thought of them being primitive considering modern standards of sophistication.
However this is a very common misconception that most newcomers come to. In fact the Drethamiriz have a very honor bound and warrior focused culture but it is also rich in arts, such as sculpting and music particularly, as well as carrying high respect for philosophy and the sciences, to the point of elevating only those that are good for a given standing or job to those that can handle it and deserve to have it.
Each clan has it's own chieftain and a council of elders which is comprised of the chieftain and six other of the more older and experienced Drethamiriz of the clan that sit on this council. This appointment to elder is a great honor and is only reserved for those with at least 1600 years under their belt and have proven themselves as fair and impartial judges when it comes to decisions that they've made in the past. The clans all are of a different size with the smallest consisting of simply a few families while the largest which are called overclans and considered of up to 500+ families and other elements. The Largest Over clan is over three million strong and when they are more often than not asked to step in and judge a dispute between the smaller clans.
The over clans are however not the highest form of government that is the High clan council which has representatives of all the clans sometimes even their chieftains sometimes come instead of an elder representative, sometimes however all chieftains from all clans arrive to the high clan council when it comes to decisions that would affect the entirety of the Drethamiri race. One of such decisions was the uneasy peace that they have with the insectoid race, The Mithralish, that they had been in an on and off war since the beginning of their recorded history.
Young Drethamiriz are, once they come of age, set to the task of crafting their first armor or weapon with the help of the village elders or even craftsmen should they be available to do so. This item is made specifically for themselves and once a Drethamiriz dies this armor is adjusted to the same Drethamiriz's body and he or she is buried in it. For the weapon however it can be passed down the family lines, sometimes there are two for the head of either gender within a family, sometimes more depending on the crafters renown as either craftsman/woman or warrior.
The definition of coming of age ceremonies would be a large mixture of battle tournaments, festivals, trials and skill showcasing's. Those that score and show the highest levels of skill, intelligence and perseverance gain higher social standing and become eligible to join the top tiers of the military, Industry and some even become chieftains of clans that lack a chieftain or have an aging one that has deemed himself ready to step down to allow the new one to step in.

Technology level: A bit earlier hyperspace technology than the galaxy at large but quickly catching up though they have stuck to slugthrowers instead of blasters.

General behavior: [Describe general behaviors]

History: [Describe an abridged history. If your species is genetically engineered or Sithspawn, this is where to add links to the thread(s) where your new species was developed. A development thread, whether of creation or discovery, is required for all genetically engineered/alchemically created life forms being submitted to the Factory.]

The Genders:
Males

The distinction between Drethamiriz and Humans is that combined with their tails and sometimes they have four arms that makes it easy to distinguish them from baseline humans. Their bodies are lean and powerfully built that allow them both power and speed which served them well when they were hunters and warriors in the beginning stages of society and even all the way to modern times. Unlike with females a male with four or six arms doesn't have higher status than any other and instead it is defined both by birth and martial prowess to achieve higher social standing, especially among the military hierarchy.

Females

The Females in comparison to the males are lithe and nimble as well as smaller in height than the males. Their bodies are more built for speed rather than strength but they are still much stronger than an average human male. Unlike with males however it is rare for the females to grow the second pair of arms and those that do tend to have respect and high standing within Drethamiriz society as, unlike males, a female with four arms or six are considered blessed by the (Fertility God) and the males that win their favor are among the greatest warriors and even leaders of the Drethamiriz people.
Female warriors are among the most sought after mates among the Drethamiriz males.



Estimated Population: 3.51 Billion at the last census of the planet (Insert name here) (They are mostly found there).



Diet: Omnivores though favor a carnivorous diet, can eat the same as humans but have a noticeably stronger stomach and are capable of eating somethings human stomachs simply can't handle but not inherently lethal for consumption.

Communication: Vocal, capable of growls, hisses, snarls and whines reminiscent of sounds that wolves, snakes and reptiles are capable of making.

Intent: To create a new race to inhabit the gala

Notable Player-Characters: Will add when they are made.
 
All right, I've made a few changes and would like ask your opinions on the matter along with any tips you might be willing to share.
