Species Name : Dom'Chaka
Home-world Name: Tak'Balat
Species Physical Description:
Summary :
-Four arms
-Two legs and a tail
-Corrosive Spit
-Variants
An adult body is very tall at an average of 2m50. They stand upright like a human, but sport a tail and two additional upper limbs above their shoulders.
The "normal" pair of arms ends up with four digit hands. Their hands possesses claws that are harder than steel.
Their long tails are here for balance because of their heavy upper arms.
What make the Dom'Chakas specials are their upper arms. There exist many variants of Dom'Chakas, and those are defined by the form of their upper arms.
Young Dom'Chakas all have the same upper limbs. But as they grow, Dom'Chakas can willingly choose how their upper limbs will mutate. There are currently three known standard mutations, with a fourth extremely rare one.
-The "Lancer" mutation : characterized by long and strong lance-like upper front arms, which they can use to stab their enemies to death.
-The "Crusher" mutation : characterized by heavy and bulky maul-like upper front arms, which they can use to pulverize their enemies into paste.
-The "Reaver" mutation : characterized by extremely sharp blade-like upper front arms, which they can use to slice their enemies like mere butter.
And finally, the rare "Ravager" mutation.
Ravager Dom'Chakas are nearly twice as large and tall as a normal Dom'Chakas, and have four pair of arms instead of two. They possess one pair of arms for each mutation.
Dom'Chakas bodies are insanely tough, with a skin harder than metal. As for their mutated limbs, they are stronger than weapon-grade steel, and get harder with age and battles. The muscles and nerves disposition of Dom'Chakas allows them to use each of their limbs independently, without encumbering themselves.
Furthermore, their spit becomes extremely corrosive (except for themselves) when they are excited, and fighting.
Their skin color varies depending on their environment.
Home-world Description:
Tak'Balat is a treacherous world teeming with life. A wide variety of ecosystem is characteristic of Tak'Balat, with landscape ranging from jungles, wastelands, deserts to ocean.
But for some reason, life on Tak'Balat evolved to become extremely aggressive and competitive. Even the predators lowest on the food chain of Tak'Balat could destroy a whole ecosystem of other planets.
As the a result, the Dom'Chakas have adapted to the fierce competition, combining intelligence and natural gifts.
Species Societal Description:
Dom'Chakas from Tak'Balat live in a primitive tribal society, where the chief's seat can be challenged at any time in a contest of might. For this reason, Ravager-variants are known to always become the chief when one appear, due to their insane strength compared to normal Dom'Chakas.
Dom'Chakas of the Dipnoi Empire acts as Dipnoi citizen.
Species Cultural Description:
The tribe is extremely important to them, and members of the same tribe share very strong bonds. Though despite this, a tribe won't hesitate to exile a member if it reveals itself too weak by Dom'Chakas standards.
They value strength above all else, and believe in some form of shamanism. They keep trophies of the strongest opponents they killed, be they of their own kin or a dangerous beast.
They also see shooting stars as a bad omen.
Dom'Chakas of the Dipnoi Empire greatly value friendship, honor and battle. They are valued as warriors by the Dipnoi Overlords.
Technology of the Species:
They possess a very primitive technology, not even knowing metallurgy.
They make their tools out of animal, vegetal or rocky materials. Naturally possessing immense strength, they don't bother in developing weapons.
History of the Species:
Dom'Chakas from Tak'Balat don't have a pretty interesting history. As a still primitive people, they didn't make any incredible discovery or breakthrough in any field. The only notable events of their history are the small wars between tribes, and occasional wiping out by a horde of powerful beasts.
But for the Dom'Chakas of the Dipnoi Empire, this is wholly different. Some tribes encountered the Dipnoi Overlords hundred years ago. Initial contact was met with extreme hostility, as the Dom'Chakas instantly attacked the Dipnoi Overlords.
But thanks to their advanced weaponry, the Dipnoi Overlords obliterated the Dom'Chakas. Communication attempts were made and succeeded, and the Dipnoi Overlords proposed the defeated Dom'Chakas to join their Empire and become even greater than any of their kin would be.
They accepted, tying their lives to the Dipnoi Overlords, and becoming citizen of the Dipnoi Empire...
