- Name: The Marese
- Designation: Sentient

- Language: [List common languages of this species.]
- Average Lifespan: 82 Years
- Estimated Population: Rare, belonging to one City State on Aurum
- Description: Marese have the head of a bird, and the body of a human. While there are a few different style heads, the most common variant remains that of a falcon, though some families feature more owl or eagle-like features. The rest of their body, from the shoulders down, almost entirely reflects that of a human, though their fingers end in short yet sharp talons, and some - known as Esi - have wings.
- Breathes: Type I
- Average height of adults: 170cm
- Average length of adults: ?cm Wingspan in Esi
- Skin color: Varies; Light Grey, Tan, and Onyx Black, are all common
- Hair color: Feathers can vary; some are Raven Black, others are a mixture of Dark and Light, others are Pale
- Distinctions: [Describe the unique physical traits that define what they are and set them apart from more common species like humans. Be sure to include any differences between male and female, as well variations between differing regional groups if any, and characteristics that denote a matured or aging specimen.]
- Races:
It is said that during the birth of each Marese the All-God Taoph flips a coin, and sets into motion the future of each child borne of his people. While every single member of the species is born without wings, there are some - known as the Esi - who will grow a luscious set upon reaching roughly their third year. For the most part the Esi are regarded highly by their flightless brethren - known as the Tabia - and viewed as Taoph's chosen ones.
Only Esi-born Marese are selected to become next in line to govern Tr'Mara, and if a King fails to produce an Esi-Heir their lineage will fall into ruin, bringing about a fight for power. Despite this fact non-Royal Tabia are capable of ascending to any other position in the City, though only they are ever taken as slaves, a fact which has in the past led to prejudices arising.
- Strengths:
+ One in every 50 Marese is born an Esi, and thus is capable of brief bouts of flight
+ Marese are known for their keen eyesight. While they cannot see in infrared, or other more fancy spectrums, the distance they can hone into far surpasses that of a human, and is capable of piercing darkness with only a minor light source, such as the moon
+ Marese have fingertips that end in short, yet sharp, talons which are capable of tearing through skin and flesh
- Weaknesses:
- All Marese have Hollow Bones, even Tabia, which leaves them rather fragile and susceptible to breakage; many Marese refuse to wear anything more than cloth clothing, though some have been known to wear small pieces of armour covering vital organs.
- Diet: [List common foods, what is poisonous]
- Communication: [List common communication medium]
- Technology level: [Describe societal technology level]
- Religion/Beliefs: [If this species has a prominent religion or set of beliefs, describe them here.]
- General behavior: [Describe general behaviors such as: family life, values, how they raise their young, how they find mates, how they interact with the world and other species around them. Do they hunt? Do they build? Are they inventors? Are they explorers? Are they nocturnal or diurnal? Do they attend schools? Etc, etc. ]
[Describe an abridged history. If your species is genetically engineered or Sithspawn please describe the process through which they were created, by who, and why. Explain the various challenges encountered during their creation. Most galactic species will be quite old - major events relevant to the species in how they evolved and developed into what they are today where appropriate.]
