Name: Theowen
Designation: Semi-sentient
Homeworld: Retalik
Language: None
Average height of adults: 1.96 meters
Skin color: Varying shades of brown and green
Hair color: None
Breathes: Type 1
Strengths:
+ Agility: Theowen are extremely agile, and use this to their advantage. While scaling the trees in their forest habitat, they often jump from branch to branch, often catching each branch they come to and steadying themselves for the next jump. Since their limbs are not like a regular humanoid's, they cannot 'run out of breath', as they are constantly pulling energy from the world around them, so they could run forever if they wanted to. In darkness however, they will eventually need to recharge on sunlight. If they are completely out of energy, they become very drowsy and groggy.
+ Camouflage: Their likeness in appearance to the forest in which they come from gives theowen the option to blend, vanishing from sight. With the additives that they were created from the force, and their telepathy skills act much like the Shi-ido to convince others that they are merely trees or limbs upon larger trees.
+ Tree Regrowth: TO be that of a tree, they can regrow their limbs throughout a 2-5 week time period. If they can take back the limb that was injured and simply "graft" it back onto the stump, the healing process of the limb can be seen up to a few days. However, their limbs can be mis configured or even bent n the wrong direction if the growing limb is injured before being fully replaced through growth. but unlike the Iicari they can not survive decapitation, or being cut in half in the chest where their vital organs are.
Weaknesses:
- Fire: Like trees, theowen are especially vulnerable to fire. This can be from traditional forest fires, or blasters and lightsabers. Anything giving off heat that can burn will harm theowen.
- Fragility: Theowen are very fragile, even as adults. Their bark skin can break and crack just as easily as tree bark. On the armor rating scale, they rate a 3. In this sense, bark does not always simply fall off, but special instances apply. For example, if a piece is rotting or injured somehow. Though limbs and bark is easily broke, there's nothing a bath in pure sunlight won't heal. Depending on the severity of the injury, whether it be a gouge in the side or even a broken limb, it can take anywhere from 2-5 weeks to heal.
- Mental: Unlike the weethraks, which also use empathy to communicate, they are very susceptible to mental attacks. Though they don't feel any particular pain from these attacks, they can be manipulated as well.
Distinctions: Appearance to that of trees, absence of mouths, antlers.
Average Lifespan: 200-250 Standard years
Races: None
Diet: They use water and sunlight for sustenance in a use of Photosynthesis
Communication: Mental imagery is their only form of communication. Like their self-proclaimed gods, the weethraks, they rely on their empathic abilities to send images and feelings to others. Though they have their own form of communication among themselves by simple acts and gestures, they can only communicate emphatically with outsiders. These gestures can be taught, however.
Culture: Theowen
Technology level: Theowen have very little technology, and live in open-roof huts in the trees. They have developed tools to carve out these homes and create them. Because they are a very peaceful species, they rarely carry weapons and have a very optimistic view on people.
General behavior: The theowen are a very closed in species, only trusting the weethraks enough to get close to them. To outsiders, they generally hide in their habitats, or blend with the trees until the supposed danger is gone. Some are also brave enough to watch outsiders while they walk through their habitat, curious of what the intruder might do. Being a rather peaceful species, the Theowen rarely take up weapons on people, prefering to voice what is wrong and work things out with contracts and treaties. Only if absolutely necessary do they take up weapons. Even when they fight, they hand out apologizes that they had to fight them. (Think of the profiling of Canadians.)
History: Theowen are the product of the force, being born from trees. Because of this, they have most aspects that any tree would, excepting for the fact that thy are slightly humanoid. Not long after their manifestation, they came into contact with the weethraks, and appointed them as gods due to their immense size and wisdom. Theowen have celebrations for their gods once a year.
Notable Player-Characters: None
Intent: To create a NPC species to commonly roam Retalik.
