| + | * //Vision// - As mentioned above, Belza use a form of LIDAR to see, which allows them a very fine vision but sacrifices a lot of the nuance that one might get from a regular, light-accepting eyeball. | ||
| + | * //Taste// - Belza, being composed of particulate matter, have a very particular sense of taste. Meaning, if something is impure in their very limited diet, they will know. | ||

| Belza don't have brains in the traditional sense - they effectively are brains. But, their complex nature allows them to interface with electronics in their cloud form, allowing them some form of flexibility. | Belza don't have brains in the traditional sense - they effectively are brains.

| =====Mental===== | =====Mental===== | ||
| + | Belza, for the most part, are a solitary species, preferring at most three other individuals to bond with at any given moment. They can go long periods without conversation without succumbing to things like cabin fever. | ||
| ===Intelligence=== | ===Intelligence=== | ||
| + | Belza are highly intelligent and adaptable, but oftentimes are found lacking in the knowledge department. It isn't uncommon to have one of them not able to converse with a foreigner one day, and the next be able to speak in broken conversational speak. There is no central education system for the Belza, so really it is up to the individual Belzan to make the most of their living experience. | ||
| ===Outlook=== | ===Outlook=== | ||
| + | Given their natural state of dwelling (Leagues apart on a gas giant), Belzans have a rather wistful, romantic view of most things - which often is based on incorrect information. | ||
| ===Interactions=== | ===Interactions=== | ||
| ==With strangers== | ==With strangers== | ||
| + | Belza don't necessarily shun strangers, but they interact with a polite aloofness with most of them. Even the more eccentric ones seem more canned in their expressions - they might might sound like a character directed by a [[https:// | ||
| ==With Familiar== | ==With Familiar== | ||
| + | With the few individuals a Belzan is close with, they share their innermost thoughts freely. But it's hardly close the way other, more meaty species see " | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Magic=== | ||
| + | Belza, being an artificial species, have no tether to the magical fold, but they also have no interest in it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Psionics=== | ||
| + | The Belzans often enjoy an innate (but weak) psionic prowess by using it to Construct things, rather than using it as a mind to mind force or some astral wind technique. They don't hesitate to use it to repair chinks in their armor, and many of their suits components are insulated with psi-layers. It takes them a long time, but their craftsmanship is excellent due to a forced attention to detail. | ||
