THE UNDEFEATED
Hello guys, welcome to the Bryn'adûl!
So, when new people join and begin the process of creating a Draelvasier character, I typically get a lot of frequent questions about the species, lore & a variety of things. So I'm putting this little Q&A together for easier accessibility to getting started.
1. What are the Draelvasier?
1. The Draelvasier are a sentient species of humanoids with vaguely lizard, kaiju and insectoid physical features that hail from Draemidus Prime, a desolate world only recently repopulated by the rejuvenated species.
Yes, you read it right; rejuvenated. In 844ABY Tathra Khaeus began the process of genetically augmenting multiple samples of his own DNA, producing a wide variety of subraces. Over the next four years, the lone Drael strode for perfection. Eventually in 848ABY the first Draelvasier were created, ten years down the line - the Draelvasier have begun to finally sprawl outward into the known Galaxy.
2. What prominent physical differences do they have?
2. At a glance all Draelvasier are incredibly tall humanoids that typically fall in the seven to nine feet area, heavy weights and muscular with a thick skin and predominantly monstrous features. They are not a pretty sight. For more details, view the DISTINCTIONS segment under Physical Information in the species submission page.
3. What are the different subraces like?
3. So, this question technically has three answers. The Baedurin are the strongest of the trio, having the strength of nearly twenty men on average and skin so resilient to fire it balks at blaster fire. They stand between eight to ten feet in height, broad with draconic faces and broad primate forms. They are mostly inept where the force is concerned but make for incredibly mechanics and creators, typically of weaponry and armours.
They are fast and incredible warriors & marksmen, but they aren't necessarily flexible or long-term sprinters.
The Aeravalin on the other hand are of similar height and in terms of physical stature are no slouches themselves. But their forms are more condensed, lithe and agile. However their force aptitude is also far greater than that of their stockier cousin race. They are more scientific in terms of alchemy and mutation.
The Sraelvun on the other hand, are the bottom barrel cannon fodder. They are slaves to their own instincts and little more than a wish to serve well. They are smaller than both of their sister races. They are clawed and feral. Yet their suicidal existence has produced cunning and fortuitous ferocity where none was expected.
4. What is their society & culture like?
4. The Draelvasier exist in a meritocracy, with a incredibly stringent culture that revolves around militaristic lives and a zero-tolerance policy for weakness. They are ethnocentric to the point of extreme xenophobia, wished to wipe out almost all other sentient forms of life. For more information on this, view the species submission and check out the Religion/Beliefs section under culture.
The Draelvasier and by extension its formal representation the Bryn'adûl have a great distaste of technological reliance and tolerance of purpose lacking civilians. Almost all Draelvasier are fully committed to their zealotry and hatred of the plague known as humanity.
Where nature is concerned, Drael have a love for nature and believe that it must be respected and by extension use a lot of beasts and natural weaponry in their warfare.
5. What are the main traits/personality features of a Draelvasier?
5. Due to the highly indoctrination based system of education within the Bryn'adûl, almost all Draelvasier who survive to adulthood are zealots of their beliefs, and patriots of the Bryn'adûl and hold a high regard for their Chieftain.
The nature of the Bryn'adûl government is to employ a vicious system of accountability that is a constant pressure; maintaining efficiency throughout their species. This produces a stringent and competitive mind-set in Draelvasier but also puts strains on comradery as anxiety is common among their ranks.
Their society is a meritocracy. Nothing matters but the merits of strength [of both body & mind], competence, adaptability and respect valued by the Draelvasier. This also, creates possibilities for rises in rank, as one can simply challenge their ranking officers if they believe them weak. This also makes ambition and sinister aspirations common among Draelvasier.
6. How do I name my Draelvasier?
6. The Draelvasier names typically take inspiration from Nordic & Egyptian naming traditions. Additionally, we try to keep our names as far from typical human names as possible. A mixture of alien and mythic.
Examples: Vaynaleth, Dreddikast, Xraeldi, Cruktak, Triansk
