:The Caraadian are an ancient species who achieved space travel over 13,000 years ago and used it to create a civilization that is vastly different now than it was originally. | |||

==Description== | |||
Just like humans and a large number of other species that resemble humans they have a wide range of hair and eye color with various types of body shapes, heights and weights being the normal. For the most part they all seem to be Caucasians in skin tone with the range in color being from a pale shade to a light tan complexion. | |||
==Physiology== | |||
''Genders'': The species originally had two genders, but due to extensive mechanical and genetic engineering the designation of one and the other (or neither) often depends on each individual. | |||
''Distinguishing physical characteristics'': As a general rule, the Zets have a kind of slender body and long, graceful limbs, finished with 3 fingers on the upper limbs and two plus a spur on the lower limbs. Although they generally use a plantigrade gait, many choose a digitigrade locomotion to move faster, with the spur remaining off the ground. | |||
Their skin is soft and smooth, but the back and face are covered with chitinous plaques with small nodules embossed, reminiscent of a protection against ancient predators. | |||
The head is rounded with two bony projections towards the back that are part of the non-verbal communication of the zets: a healthy zet will have long, graceful and well-formed horns, while a sickly individual will usually have small or broken horns. These are present throughout the individual's life and grow continuously, so that elderly Zets possess elaborate horns that limit the mobility of their head. | |||
Its head has 6 eyes that give it excellent spatial vision, along a colour spectrum detection that is superior to humans'. In addition, the short vibrissae on their head give them extra information about surrounding conditions. | |||
''Means of locomotion'': Bipedal, plantigrade and short digitigrade | |||
''Unusual attributes'': The Zets are divided into two distinct castes: the ---, the dominant caste, are generally taller, slenderer and have characteristics closer to the ideal of the species. Their bodies are brightly and warmly coloured, especially on the back and top of their heads. Oranges, magentas, pinks and reds are regarded as most beautiful colours. | |||
On the other hand, the working breed or Ephemeral, have shorter and more robust bodies and generally are duller in colour, mostly in shades of brown and greys. | |||
Acute sense of smell/perception of pheromones tied to emotional states. Especially pronounced among the Deathless, less so but still there among the Ephemerals. | |||

==Society== | |||
The Zets are organised around Corporations run by one or more Deathless, with a multitude of Ephemerals at their service, subject to debts and life obligations. | |||
''Names'': Names of non-immortals are styled in the conventional ‘Given name, Surname’ fashion, i.e. John Smith. In the case of the Deathless, they add a sub name each time they ‘re-husk’ into a new body - mostly to show off. Using the example of ‘Anroc,’ his full name is ‘Pitorian Sal’Lat’Ut’Kel’Tras Anroc,’ indicating he has rehusked at least five times, putting his age in the ~600 year range. | |||
