Desription

The native Raskorian's are a peaceful people. The men stand on average about 5' and weight about 100 lbs at full growth, while the females are on average 4'10" and weight about 90 lbs. They have 3 long toes and usually never wear any kind of foot gear. They also have 2 fingers and 1 opposable thumb on their hands. All 3 of these fingers are long and slender.

They are decended from avian stock haveing evolved into the dominant life form. They have very soft colorful greenish blue feathers that cover their whole bodies escept for the bottoms of their feet and the palms of their hands. While normally these feathers are extremely tiny they do have larger more distinctive feathers that stand up on their heads. The feathers on their heads come in a almost impossible array of color's, length's, types and patterns. It is by this method that most of them can tell each other appart.

They also have one of the most complex languages in the know galaxy with over 7,300 different sounds used in various combinations to produce their spoken language. As a result of the extreme complexity involved in their language they seem to be able to learn other languages rather rapidly. It is not unknown for an average adult to be able to master a dozen languages and be able to speak them as accurately as a native would.

Their lips are hard, forming a avian like mouth but with the beak being wider than it sticks out from their face. They have no nose, but instead have 2 small slits in the section of the beak that ends just under their eye's. For that matter they don't have any external ears either, mearly a small curved opening on the side of their heads.

As they evolved and adapted they lost the ability to fly. Scientists believe this was partly due to the higher gravity that makes it impossible for large birds to fly very well on Raskor. It is due to the higher gravity that they slowly changed, loseing their ability to fly as they got bigger.

Religion

The Raskor do not have any type of organized religion. They believe in the great spirit of the world below them. They celebrate this with 4 festivals at the end of each quarter of their year. They also observe this by working hard to keep the environment clean and safe for all beings.
