Next Kiriban - 5000

I've decided to try my hand at creating a race like many other deviants on dA have. I'm a big fan of flowing hair and the like so I wanted my race to have many of the same qualities.


Guraess (Pronounced: Grace)

The Guraess are named after flowers, herbs and trees. Basically anything botanical.

(Go to [link] or [link] to find a flower name.)


Guraess Appearence

ALL Guraess have long hair, male and female both, their hair keeps growings the longer they live. It's considered an act of treason on all planets to cut your hair. If a Guraess has short hair they are usually tied to the faction known as Poison. Their hair colour is usually intimately tied to their botanical namesake.

They always go around barefoot, with the exception of those living on the desert half of Ohnir. By wearing shoes they risk having proper growth in height and health so only when necessary do they wear them.

If their namesake is a flower, flower petals will sprout from their ankles based on their namesake.

If their namesake is a tree, then the leaves of that tree grow around their shoulders and wrists.

If named for any other botanical form the petals/leaves/etc of their namesake sprout from the collarbone.

Guraess Life Expectancy

Females are able to live for as long as they are able to depending upon weather conditions and climate. Females who live in warmer, less hazardous areas can potentially live forever.

Males are only able to live until the mate. Once their seed is passed on they quickly begin to wither and die, not living more then a year after mating.




The Home World of Phidelidy (Pronounced: Fidelity)

The Home World is the primary planet for all Guraess, in it's orbit are two satellites known as Ohnir (Pronounced: Honour) and Loieltii (Pronounced: Loyalty). There is absolutely NO ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY on the home world or it's satellites. The majority of females live on Phidelidy while very few live on the satellites. The satellites are home to most of the male Guraess to help them live longer lives. Their structure and stability against climate and weather conditions are much stronger then the females and are able to better survive on the satellites where conditions are usually hazardous and sometimes lethal for females.

The basic layout for Phidelidy is much the same as Earth, while Ohnir has an intensely warm climate, making half of it almost uninhabital with the exception of a small select group of Guraess. One half is like a tropical forest while the other has turned to desert. Loieltii is in an almost fixed axis, making the days much much longer then the nights on one side of the planet and the nights much much longer then the days on the other side. One single rotation on Loieltii spans twenty-seven days.

Travel between the Home World and the satellites is possible. Each Guraess has the ability to encase themselves once every year in a protective shell and travel to another planet. They are able to lift themselves into space and very carefully manuever themselves using spacial currents to land on another planet. This process is dangerous, resulting in the loss of many Guraess over time. If an under developed Guraess attempts this process they will most assuredly fail and be blown far off course into the nothingness of space.

The Guraess are ruled by a Triad of Elders, one residing on each planet and they meet every decade in order to discuss great matters of importance. A celebration is held afterwards on Phidelidy and it last for seven days and seven nights. Unfortuneately the celebration also holds the highest death rate for male Guraess.
