+<blockquote>I was entertaining the idea earlier of making a new species in the setting. Some kind of middle ground between captain amelia and those really toothy ladies I was linking the other day
+The concept was that they'd be a species that was "uplifted" rather than achieved spaceflight itself, and is rather violent but has learned to (mostly) play nice in society.
+I really just wanted an excuse for a species that would totally bite and gore a motherfucker if they wanted to
+other concept: Their "societies" puts on the airs of nobility as a show for others (probably due to conditioning in the uplift process) but really just is an excust to get blood all over elizibethan clothing.
+I'm having a hard time settling on which facial features mesh best, but the bodies definitely span from like 6'-8' in height
+practically wendigo levels of lankiness.
+thinks again
+They'd probably use some form of infusion if they went into psionics.
+I can't imagine them being a species for much finesse.
+ohh
+thinks
+infusion at the point of striking, more for slashing or piercing strikes rather than bludgeoning.
+Other concept: Their mages are all wild mages.
+not like, Rod of Wonder level tho
+just more randomized outputs
+so if one mage were attempting an attack, it could be anywhere from a spitball to a fireball
+A very unrefined art.
+I imagine intent recognition is a big thing
+so if one were to try to enhance somebody, it'll be an enhancement of SOME kind.
+other concept: Spell storage becomes very popular for them since spell output is randomized upon cast so it's better to cast ahead of time and store for later.
+like potions and oils and scrolls and shit
+but maybe better than potions and scrolls
+I mean if you want to tempt a species that revels in being bathed in the blood and viscera of their enemies by all means
+I think they’d definitely be solely carnivorous for obvious reasons
+Due to being an uplifted species I’d assume they probably don’t really have a culture of their own aside from blood sport
+Debating whether they came from a bronze age or a stone age
+The former means they’d have the propensity for actual blood sport but it means there’d be some vestiges of culture
+The latter means they’d be easier to set up but end up being kinda Vorcha-ey
+Also in question are the reasons for uplifting.
+Disposeable soldiers? Attempted goodwill by way of “look we enlightened the savages”?
+Maybe a more morally ambiguous "because we could"
+I'm now imagining some science conclave throwing a party, getting drunk, and then irresponsibly using their tech to uplift them
+courtship rituals involves both parties presenting the hearts of their respective competitive suitors as gifts.
+tho they might have two hearts cuz they’re so big and need that blood flow
+or perhaps conversely they’re so lanky because their bodies need as little places to send blood as possible
+idk vascular systems are not my strong point
+welp cancel the species because right now they’re turning out a lot like the Na’vi, visually
+>tall
+>lanky
+>somewhat catlike face with a flattish nose
+really james cameron ripped off captain amelia
+thankfully I wasn’t planning on them being blue
+so long as their nose/forehead and all that end up a different shade than the lower half of their face it should be fine
+maybe thye have 1.5 hearts
+like one big wan and a mini wan
+Also I was thinking about potential names for that species and I feel like something similar sounding to "Laharl" would be good.
+Maybe just call them the Harl
+And they don’t necessarily follow a doctrine of darwinist “da strawng lead” but I’m not sure how to derail that but keep their bloody obsession
+Maybe  they just don't consider gutting someone to not be a viable option in civilized living?
