[Darth Strosius]

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

• Intent: Flesh out one of the species made via my cloning program storyline
• Image Credit: Both found here
• Canon: Mixture of Pantoran and Zabrak
• Permissions: N/A
• Links: Inductii Manifest

GENERAL INFORMATION

• Name: Pantorak
• Designation: Sentient
• Origins: Grown aboard Sventove Carriers operated by the Order of Wonosa
• Average Lifespan: 80-110 Standard Years (Cloned individuals have a noticeably shorter lifespan of around 50-60 Standard Years)
• Estimated Population: Scattered
• Description: At first glance the Pantorak would largely be mistaken for simply Pantorans or another similar species such as Chiss, however the fairly subtle headcrests and the purple eye coloration of the Pantorak do easily distinguish them from their cousins to a more keen glance. Their skin coloration can also tend to be far more lighter or greyer in tone than one would typically associate with other similar species, and the typical adornment of facial tattoos more prominently than those of their Pantoran cousins might also serve as another indicator of difference.

PHYSICAL INFORMATION

• Breathes: Type 1
• Average Height of Adults: 1.73 Meters / 5'6 Feet
• Average Length of Adults: N/A
• Skin color: Lighter shades of blues as well as some ashen blues as well
• Hair color: Darker colors almost exclusively
• Distinctions: The most notable distinctions of the Pantorak come in the form of their internal composition. For a start they often sport head crests of varying degrees of visibility and prominence, and in some cases outright vestigial horns, that are due to dense skulls. They also contain two hearts as opposed to one singular one and are generally far more insulated and temperature stable than other species, making them adept survivors in most climates and with a heightened capability for stamina. Physically they aren't too different from other similar Near-Human species aside from their head crests, sporting blue skin and purple eyes as well as dark hair.
• Races: N/A
• Force Sensitivity: Standard

Strengths:

• Internal Mechanics: Due to their Zabrak heritage the Pantorak possess two hearts which greatly increases cardiovascular efficiency, making them inherently quicker and more athletic by default due to the increased blood circulation. Meanwhile their Pantoran heritage has granted them an insulated body that allows them greater temperature regulation and homeostasis overall.
• Thick Skulls: While they don't typically have the horns of their Zabrak cousins, typically being the key word, the Pantorak do still have hardened and durable skulls that can take quite a bit of punishment before notable damage occurs. Concussions and other such ailments are much harder to inflict upon them as a result, and receiving a headbutt from one of the Pantorak is likely to be exceptionally unpleasant.

Weaknesses:

• Insulated: While mostly a benefit, the insulation of the Pantorak bodies can at times become detrimental in cases of extreme heat. Once their bodies begin undergoing heatstroke or a similar ailment it is rather difficult to quickly and easily remedy the situation, as by and large their bodies simply have to rest while the heat dissipates as their perspiration often isn't sufficient enough to cool them to any meaningful degree.
• Density: Pantorak skin and some parts of their skeletal structure, in particular the skull, are noticeably denser than most average Near-Human species and as a result some activities such as swimming prove exceptionally difficult. This also includes a generally higher weight and mass overall when compared to similar body types in other species, making them somewhat more difficult to move and maneuver when injured or otherwise unable to move themselves.

CULTURE

• Diet: Omnivore, albeit with more carnivorous leanings and preferences
• Communication: Standard spoken languages like most sentient species, typically using Galactic Basic and Common Sith
• Technology level: Galactic Standard
• Religion/Beliefs: The Pantorak are all inducted into the Kotsûshatul Itsu throughout their upbringing, often times becoming either steadfast adherents or simply making usage of the religion as the basis for their own perspective and outlook. In particular the Pantorak enjoy the communal aspect of the religion and indulge in the physical expressions of the cult such as extensive tattoos.
• General behavior: While it is difficult to ascertain the particulars of the Pantorak as a species due to their manufactured and limited nature at present, some commonalities have begun to emerge in their number in general. By and large the Pantorak are a stubborn and hardy folk, likely due to their breeding and cultivation as soldiers. They aren't very open or socially adept, however the bonds that they do make they hold dear and seem to place a lot of emphasis on respect and even have a generalized sense of honor. This is somewhat tempered by an inherent obedience due to their upbringing yet already there have been instances of the Pantorak choosing to ignore or even outright disagree with some orders for the sake of preserving what they deem as honorable conduct in battle or in order to rescue a beloved comrade.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Pantorak as a species have been produced and designed in their entirety by the Order of Wonosa, crafted using the genetic data from donors on the Inductii Manifest. In particular, the Pantorak are a hybridization of Pantoran, Zabrak, and Human heritage which has been cultivated into a template of natural soldiers. The horns of the Zabrak have largely been limited and stifled yet their dual hearts have been made a standard, pairing with the internal insulation of the Pantorans to make a durable species that can trudge through various environmental conditions and survive a fair degree of blunt force trauma without sustaining injury.

Among the ranks of Wonosa the Pantorak, as the first real generation produced through the Inductii program, have been colloquially labeled "The Advent" by their peers and this label is something that has already been planted firmly in their overall psyche. Bred to be effective warriors and soldiers the Pantorak have thrown themselves into the training and recently into the battles of the Order of Wonosa with a determination to prove their value to their creators and comrades in arms.
