-Helashio are a human-like race with primitive primate ears and tails kin to those which would be found upon a lemur. Lorath and Helashio species developed on Lor at the same time, however for a time the Helashio conquered the surface of Lor, exiling the Lorath, until several millennia passed, at which time the Lorath subjugated the Helashio, resulting in the majority of the Helashio being placed into indentured servitude and outright slavery. Notably, while sharing the same duration of time of development as the Lorath, the Helashio are cognitively and socially under-developed.+Helashio are a human-like race with primitive primate ears and tails kin to those which would be found upon a lemur.

 Considered by other races to be half-mad by default and continual troublemakers if not dealt with carefully, chelti share properties with large marsupials and are clearly adapted to //comically// hardy living conditions. They very widespread around the galaxy with enclaves living within other planets societies, usually giving the rest of them a bad name (or the right one). Their own young space nations still fighting each other and only joining forces against any other empire that tries to make war against them. Considered by other races to be half-mad by default and continual troublemakers if not dealt with carefully, chelti share properties with large marsupials and are clearly adapted to //comically// hardy living conditions.

 The Raiken are a warrior race guided by strength and faith. Hailing from a world that would be considered inhabitable by most other species, these reptilians are extremely durable creatures. Generally scornful of other races due to pride, the Raiken resort to force before anything else, even when dealing with their own. Their society is divided up between many clans, all of which are united underneath a single banner, an 'Alliance' that is loose at the best of times. The Raiken are a warrior race guided by strength and faith.

 [[species/MBF|Lackeys]] as they're sometimes referred to are adorable synthetically produced dog-based creatures that serve as helpers and aid to anybody who purchases one. They're fiercely loyal to their owners, but even more fiercely loyal to their corporation and creator, and will almost certainly recall back to origin if they're getting ritually abused. Otherwise, take a corgi and stick its brain in the same tank as a sapient humanoid and you get an MBF. [[species/MBF|Lackeys]] as they're sometimes referred to are adorable synthetically produced dog-based creatures that serve as helpers and aid to anybody who purchases one.

-Tinians (pronounced Tine, like the end of Serpentine) are a snake-like species, with the lower body of a large snake, and the upper body of a person, retaining the features of a snake, such as the shape of the head, the reptilian eyes, and the forked tongue. Tinians grow between nine and twelve feet long, possess an enhanced sense of smell, and have a smattering of subspecies. Subspecies include Pythons,  Vipers, Coral Snakes, and Cobra. 
  
-Tinians are renowned for giving the best hugs in the galaxy, in addition to supplying most of the galaxy's antivenom. They grow extra arms as a part of ageing, or a sign of importance. Only holy figures have eight or more arms.+{{:character:silk_final_1_eisteid.png?200|}}

-The Dralu are a reptilian race that resemble what humans would refer to as dragons. Organized into Flights, the Dralu seek peace through words and trade, and will rarely resort to open warfare. Instead, they rely on less conventional tactics, adopting a cloak and dagger policy for solving their problems. They do not have a centralized government and the flights constantly bicker with each other, especially the Noble Flights. Aristocracy reigns supreme in their society, where those who do not belong to the noble flights are almost always doomed to a life of servitude and poverty.+{{:species:dralu:chath_shadowwalker.png?150|}}

 +==== Vaen ====
 +A race of short (2.5-3ft) feline creatures that rely heavily on technology to make up the gap between them and other species, the Vaen prefer working through problems intelligently rather than with brute force. Unfortunately, they tend to be hasty as a whole and as such often end up creating new problems in place of old ones. Vaen who think through their actions well are uncommon but highly prized. They tend to stick in small parties of five to ten others of friends, leaving family at a young age.
 +===== Weirds =====
 +
 +Coming from the dimensional depths of the Weald and beyond, weirds are a staggering variety of creatures of magic, psionics, dreams, and all too often nightmares. Known varieties of weirds are listed on their own page due to sheer scale.
