Male and Female Stakerals
(Female art by biov xen of DeviantART.)
(Male art by 3d fantasy art)
Name: Stakerals
Designation: Sentient,
Homeworld: Coralius
Language: Many of them speak their native dialects, however the most known one is Tiatiel. But many Stakerals in the capital of Corzel speaks the Common Language for business and speak it pretty well, differentiating themselves from their other kin outside of the capital.
Average height of adults: For Males, they can grow to be about six foot, and females seem to grow about five foot eight. However, depending on the tribe, females can grow much taller than males, but this is only according to the majour cities that are around their homeworld, as the majority is around this.
Skin color: Stakerals are mostly pale, with some being a bit more darker in the common light skin tone like humans.
Hair color: Stakerals are a largely white haired species, where many are born with white hair, but some can be born with different shades of white and sometimes platinum blonde, but this is rare.
Breathes: Type 1
Strengths:
Skilled Duelists - Stakerals aren't idiots when it comes to fighting. Infact, they've been pretty trained well for a combat situation. Though regulars are not as good as a master force user, their fighting can indeed be something of use to help keep themselves alive.
Honourable - Stakerals are known for their honour, and would usually never kill an opponent whom is good at fighting. As such, it would be against their way to waste their blade on a pointless kill that gave them a good fight.
Force Sensitive - Stakerals are highly force sensitive these days, due to more and more being born. Though not that common, it's beginning to grow more common, and many Stakerals are starting to use the force to fight, which explains why they are much more skilled duelists than they were before the Force Sensitive Baby Boom.
Quick Reflexes - Even without the force, they are very fast to respond to any combat situation when something is about to hit them and are always ready for action. Their nerves send fast signals to their brain when this is about to occur.
Weaknesses:
Less Defensive - Since Stakerals are great fighters, they usually focus on their blade more than they defend themselves. Thus, they are more lightly armed if anything. They don't particularly find it useful to have defense if they have a fantastic offense, thus making them vulnerable to leave their defenses open.
Skin Sensitive - Stakeral skin is known to be sensitive. Bleeding can feel twice as worse than normal, and sharpness can be pretty painful when felt on their skin. This is namely due to their quick reflexes, and their nerves always at work.
Hollow Bones - The bones of a Stakeral are pretty hollow due to their fast speed. The fact that their cartilgainous of their skeleton leaves their bones, it can make their bones pretty easy to break and it isn't a very good thing for them in the long run for many things.
Lanky - The fact that a Stakeral is more lankier than other species due to their fast speed and agility, it's natural that they're much physically weaker than others. Even if they display as strong warriors, they could be defeated easier than humans.
Sunlight Cancer - Some suns around the galaxy can provide a rather majour hindrance to their skin, and can be dangerous for their skin in the long run if exposed too often. That is usually why they wear highly protective clothing to protect themselves from the dangers of some of the suns around The galaxy.
Distinctions: Stakerals are usually described as a skinny-looking yet athletic race. They usually have slight muscle showing, but this is due to the skin hiding it quite well. There are a few Stakerals who can grow pretty strong and muscular, but they are usually rare. Many Stakerals have faint scars on them to symbolize their tribal marks. Different parts of the body as marked in a certain way, pattern or shape.
Average Lifespan: Stakerals can live 130-140 Galactic Standard Years, and can live for a long time. The signs of aging namely comes from their eyes fainting in colour and their skin beginning to sag. Their hair also shows signs of decaying as it no longer has the natural flow, and looks more naturally messy, no matter how well kept it is.
Races:
Bleached - Most Common
Slight Bleached - Rare
Slightly Peach - Real rare. Usually close to Humans.
Peach - Real Rare. Usually seen between breeds of Human and Stakeral.
Estimated Population: It's estimated that over 10-12 Billion Stakerals exist in the galaxy alone, with several hundred million living in other planets, making them a minority in the galaxy.
Diet: They can eat mostly anything that comes up to their plates. The most poisonous food to them would be anything made out of something toxic such as wild mushrooms and such. The most poisonous fruit on their planet, the Shulpple is hazardous to them.
Communication: Their communication comes from their mouths via vocal cords just like most other humanoids. They usually click their tongues when speaking certain languages of their tribe, and snap their fingers when speaking too when it’s in their language. They also seem to gesture allot considering that some languages are are pretty based on hand communication.
Culture: It usually depends on where you go and who you talk to when it comes to Stakeral culture. While many of them live in another planet, assimiliated to their culture, traditional Stakeral culture is mostly tribalistic much like other native planets. The mentality of the tribal Stakerals are a little different than one might think. Other than hunting and gathering, as well as their traditional dances, Tribal Stakerals tend to also maintain their own small defense force, as well as forging metals to shape into different types of materials that would serve them well, such as perfumes, weapons, cooking supplies and such. Tribal Stakerals believes that Slavery is a majour taboo, and frowns upon any one of their kin practicing it. It also depends on what type of clothing the Stakerals wear. Some wear little clothing while some others wear heavier clothing to keep warm. But many also choose to take in clothes donated to them which are usually from Corzel or another majour city.
As for Stakerals whom are outside of the Tribal culture, they tend to be much more different if anything. In more civilized societies, Stakerals usually much more of a industrious, militaristic and trading culture rather than the hunter gatherer crafting culture as they grew up in. Civilized Stakerals do not normally wear tribal clothing unless it's for some sort of celebration or such. They tend to focus more or less on the culture of their own as they adapt to the culture that is around them and such. They usually see the tribal Stakerals as "uncivilized" and "savage" as Civilized Stakerals usually see themselves as a higher class, and therefore, tribal ones are usually seen in more poorer sections of cities and planets.
There is several celebrations that usually happen. Of course, the Stakerals do celebrate Republic Day and several other Galactic holidays, but they also celebrate something known as Warrior Day, which celebrates and commemorates the greatest heroes of their people. The list changes from time to time, and the one whom had a significant impact on their people is the person of honour that gets the most attention. The celebrations are celebrated with Stakerals wearing their traditional military uniforms and such.
Technology level: As a whole, Stakerals have a medium to low technology level, as many are trying to still find their ways in the galaxy. If anything, the Stakerals tend to go from spears and swords to primitive semi-automatics that fire bullets and not blaster ammunition. As such, they do not really have the advantage when it comes to their species being invaded by others.
General behavior: The Stakerals behaviour usually depends on where you go. Usually, they’ll adapt to whatever culture that they appear on, so Coruscanti Stakeralss of course, would act like Coruscanti people or Tatooinian Stakeralss will act like a Tatooinian. But on their home planet, tribal Stakeralss usually depend. Some are open to outsiders, while some are hostile to them. In Corzel and their majour cities, they tend to be polite and reasonable.
History: Stakerals appeared long ago on their planet. None really know well on how Stakerals managed to become the dominant species of their planet, but researchers had determined that they had evolved from a primate that existed on their planet long ago that is now extinct. Their evolution had involved them becoming more adapt to their planet and later, became hunter and gatherers. Corzel was possible founded years ago, but none can really spectatate on how the city was found, but the ruins determined it was over eight thousand to ten thousand years Before the Battle of Yarvin. Stakerals became members of the Republic upon discovery and many treaties tha took place, most notably the Treaty of Corzel in 1000BBY, and had held their own seat in the Galactic Senate.
The Stakerals participated in the Rebel Alliance upon rise of the Galactic Empire. The Battle of Coralius was one of the last battles in the Middle Rim for the Rebels. Many Stormtroopers held the area but with the assistance of Stakeralian Tribes and other allied forces, Imperial Presence was eradicated from the planet and was used as a forward base to Coruscant. Since, the Stakeral people had been functioning members of the New Republic, and became the Capital of the New Republic during elections of the New Republic System.
The Gulag Plague was also a majour problem for the Stakerals, as many fell sick and died from this plague. As such, precautions were taken by the race, such as having their villages that were on their homeplanet quarrentined and many had left the affected systems during this plague. However, they eventually gained help from the Republic and the plague has many treated from this all. Since, the Stakerals lost contact with the Outer Rim, and most of their allies that had been along with it. The plague had been one of the more tragic things that the Stakerals had ever faced with a grand total of 4 billion people, which was most of the population of them at the time.
Years after the Gulag Plague, the Stakerals rebuilt from the sickness that had caused from the Gulag Plague with new immunities to it, and now, the majour threat was no more to the Stakerals, allowing them to re-populate and grow large once more. However, things are different for the Stakerals. No longer having their plant being apart of the Republic, many of them went separate ways, and their race being neutral from the other factions in the galaxy. But even peace can't really last with the race as they were just about to enjoy it. In 837ABY, the threat of the corrupt Kwa Princess begun to slaughter a good million Stakerals and such. Many Stakeral Champions volunteered to assist to fight her and such, however, she did eventually hauled the invasion, once again, bringing peace for the Stakerals.
However, good news is not always good news. The Stakerals had faced yet another majour fear, and this time, it's probably the most scariest thing they had to encounter since the Galactic Empire. Coruscant was sacked by the Sith and now, the main Stakeral nation had begun to take up opportunities to help improve themselves and vyed for their own ambitions of power and stability, although they know defiantly they can't face anyone properly with the current state their people are on their homeworld. More force sensitive Stakerals are being born, which is bringing prominent hope for the species as a whole.
Notable Player-Characters: None at the moment
Intent: The race was actually intended to populate Coralius with something other than humans, and maybe give a chance to make a interesting intractable Middle Rimmer species to interact with in addition to some opportunities and variation of races on the site. In addition, having an albino race might actually be pretty interesting to see, especially if they have natural long hair.

I tried my best to describe the entire species. I have been worn ALL day trying to do things with them and well... this is what I got.
