Name: Velocitrecka
Designation: Sentient
Homeworld: Karsbarak (Destroyed)
Current Homeworld: Kato'hala
Language: Galactic Standard
Average Lifespan: 70 Standard Years
Estimated Population: 30,000,000
Average height of adults without Gearon: 2.7 m
Average length of adults: 3 m
Skin color: Blue, White, Purple
Hair color: n/a
Distinctions: Talon like digits, long prehensile tail, lithe bodies
Breathes: Equally heavy parts Oxygen and Methane
Strengths:
Diet: Carnivorous, Thus far no known allergies to ingested food stuffs
Communication: Vocal speech
Culture: Culturally speaking, much balances for the Velocity as while they live their day to day like anyone else, religious allowances, choice of work, familial bonds depending, they also must bear certain intricacies toward their own species. On the front they seem like any race, in spite of being rather fast, but on the matter of lesser known knowledge they are a highly developed people that force their own to spend a deemed amount of time toward manufacturing their Bio-Technologies. As well, there are Gearon Sherri groups, which translates to Gearon love, where in they respect and honor their Gearon by racing, polishing the surface, letting others examine, and general boasting - these groups happen surprisingly regularly
General behavior: The Velocitrecka are a very proud people, among themselves they are mostly accepting but tend toward snarky behavior. To the outside populace, the species is "cruel". Though this is simply a chosen descriptive, in reality they are as a whole simply arrogant self righteous people very likely to insult a being just as much as speak to one.
Technology: Gearon
History: How these intelligent predatory people came to be is an odd story, one involving a complete revolving of the known. The Velocitrecka once were known by a separate name lost long ago, and were herbivorous. Their bodies at the time had been slow, lethargic even. Like the animals of Earth, Sloths, they hung from trees, and lived there as well. A difference being their reptilian flesh and appearance, their claws were hooked sharply so as to cling to limbs much easier.
During this time they lived generally in small shacks built from random resources they could find where they chose to set up shop. It didn't take much, as they made their beds from leaves and feathers of birds that lived there. Much of their time was spent lounging silently, or speaking with their young. At the time their leader was a being known as Drai'bello. He, with his young and wife, managed to live and learn beyond the extent of most during that age. Though soon enough, the danger the species faced would call for a change.
A ship carrying dangerous breeds of a large number of predators was flying nearby, when a freak of spacial nature occurred - a storm in space. It raged seemingly from nowhere, full power it bashed against the shields and hull of this ship. Before long the only thing that could be done was to attempt to drop the ship planet side in one piece - which they miraculously managed. But, the ships power went down, letting every one of the predators cages was opened and they were released. This led to the proverbial Noah's ark copulating upon a new land.
Many of the species did not survive. However, some did, and these of course would be the most dangerous of the dangerous, yet at its peak was the Apex, the Altagak. This beast, the peak of the food chain on its own home world, now had more, had ease to feed. There were the low animals, the smaller predators, even the ancestors to the Velocitrecka.
Adding into the picture the pairs of each predator brought here, the species that were native began to die out quickly. While hunters chased hunted, not many went after each other, leading to the Lessers dying at an impeccable rate. After just a couple years only a few survived, at the head being the Velocitrecka, whom did so mostly thanks to their birth rate. This led to the changes mentioned before - forced evolution. At the head of the changes began increased speeds, straightening of hooked claws which also tapered to razor points, then also the eggs they were born in began to be used for tools.
Some used them for sports purposes, others for literal tools such as hammers, but a rare few began to see the uses of those eggs - the Gearon. These they saw were smooth, rounded on all edges to form nearly a perfect ball. When thrown they bent ever so slightly, as if elastic despite the durability shown. Like they were wheels moving at incredible speeds. So they began to be used as such, gripped in the feet of the beimgs. This led to Drai'bello's family heritage being overtaken by the first of the true Velocitrecka, Xero'tilla.
Xero'tilla's regime also began to study the ship's intricate network of technologies. This inherently led to the allocation of several Force artifacts, no one could ascertain who actually possessed these prior, why they were on the proverbial ark, or what their usages were. However, just as the passing decades led to the changes in physiology, further more around the Force artifacts began to accelerate the changes brought by being around items imbued with the Force. This did not produce any added effects, simply pushed those evident even further. The Gearon became a perfect tool for what the Velocitrecka would use them as, the claws of the now carniverous people were sharp enough to be useful for killing and survival. This also led, miraculously, to understandings of the technology they played with, and somehow to how this could incorporate with their own bodies.
After becoming the apex to their planet, the Velocitrecka soon noted the signs of planetary destruction. Solar flares were showing signs of their planets destruction, and so with haste they fixed the ship and fled the system. It did not get them far, before they landed on the now being populated Kato'hala, where they have since managed to incorporate themselves into the populace as whichever people they wished.
During their lives, they have been beaten and broken by Hordes of Undead, had their people vanish to the Netherworld, faced insurmountable odds of all kinds, but they have managed to strive through and through. They are a people worthy of life.

Distinctions: Talon like digits, long prehensile tail, lithe bodies
Breathes: Equally heavy parts Oxygen and Methane
Strengths:
- [ Swish and flick ] ~ These guys bear a tail that is adequately strong, entirely prehensile and is partially responsible for their balance on upright positions
- [ Nitrogen is a no-no ] ~ First and foremost, more than the nearest hint of nitrogen, like those found in minor quantity of air, is fatal. If not immediately put to healing, this chemical will cause airways to shallow, and the heart to beat slower until death
- [ God, he's a Nerd ] ~ The species leans toward weakened arms. Without the main asset used in battle, you can see why they are very rarely seen in battle. The average teenage human already dwarfs their arm strength
- [ TO BRIGHT!! ] ~ Pulsating, or alternating bright lights can incapacitate the beings, even when utilizing eye coverage
- [ Holy poodoo, he is ugly ] ~ Straight out of some peoples nightmares, these devilish appearing creatures can bring nightmares, even when they were their face plates and armor. Most won't cooperate with, or even attempt to be close to one of them
- [ Smarter than thou ] ~ Were there to be those that are willing to deal, most Velocitrecka would rather not deal with other species unless they prove intelligent, which even then needs to be a certain degree
- [ Well, the steering is out ] ~ If damage comes to their tails, they cannot run, stand propwely or even jump, as these appendages amount to the main means that they maintain balance. If their tail is removed, most wind up shunned, hated by all they love. It is cruel, but a fact of life
