The Endaasi are the native species of Endaasi (planet). They are a gentle species that can be prone to fits of fancy. The Endaasi have never known war and can be somewhat innocent.

Naming Conventions

Traditional Endaasi naming conventions follow this pattern: [surname]-[first name]. Surnames tend to be translated as verbs, and first names as single letters. For example, "Lean-R," "Sat-N," "Bounce-D." Though this naming convention is widespread in contemporary Endassi culture, there are plenty of counter-examples to these conventions and the Endassi are accepting of those that abandon this tradition.

Attire

Endaasi typically wear light tunics or shirts with shorts, and sandals, but will vary their attire by climate as needed. To typical human tastes, their attire can appear more like stage costuming instead of clothing: everything is a little "extra." Depending on the social setting, Endaasi sometimes wear hats perched on one or draped across both stalked eyes. Garments resembling ascots are a hot fashion item as well.

Endaasi Massages

Their hands can secrete an electrolytic gel and produce a low-level electrical field, which is one of the draws of this pleasure planet. Their massages are fabled!

Physiology

They are loosely humanoid, as they lack a true head. Their brain, as it were, is distributed across their entire body. The "head" is two round, pleasing stalked eyes, an exposed olfactory bulb, and an orifice for ingestion.

They stand about 1.8 meters tall, upright. They are bipedal, and have two arm-like appendages. Most of the their skeletal structure is comprised of a substance more like cartilage than bone, giving them a wavy and flowing sort of movement.

They lack sophisticated vocal tracts and cannot verbally speak beyond grunts.

Despite this configuration, most humanoids generally find their form to be pleasing in its symmetry and proportions.

Endassi do not have typical external humanoid sexual organs but they do have an erogenous organ that is visibly and functionally similar to typical humanoid sexual organs, and can express itself in either a concave or convex manner at will, depending on the mood/desire of the Endassi.

Sex, Gender, and Sexuality

The Endaasi are a sexed species, typically expressing as two sexes with minority groups of additional sexes. However, their sexual dimorphism is not visible; the primary differences being internal organs for fertilization and gestation. Their reproduction is mediated by the electrolytic gel in their hands, as well as telepathy. There are no known instances of Endaasi seeking to reproduce outside of their species.

As such, their society has no rigidly defined concept of gender. Their vestments and self-expression are typically related to emotions and desires. As such, Endassi have a wide variety in how they choose to present themselves.

Endaasi sexuality is hard to explain in typical humanoid terms because of the decoupling of erogenous experiences and reproduction. Specifically, they do not consider experiences with their erogenous organs to be a reflection of their sexuality but rather an enjoyable and intimate activity, typically shared between close friends or partners in private.

Endaasi typically, but not strictly, form monogamous relationships and can include any combination of sexes.

Movements

Their movement is delicate and intricate as if they were jellyfish in the sea.

Telepathy

They are touch-telepathic. Their cultural practice is to read a person's mind upon meeting, exploring their experiences to better understand them. Instead of privacy, they hold "forgetting" sacred. Before the conversation ends, they come to an agreement about what may be remembered by both parties.
