Ixvapyan: Difference between revisions

They were once a part of the Core World races before their species, systems and homeworld was destroyed by other member species representing the Core Worlds.

Ixvapyans are relatively unknown. Their space ship captains are entitled Warlords.  Unlike the Grendallai, however, it is suspected that, wherever the Ixvapyan homeworld is, there is a thriving society.  There have been faint hints of a culture behind members of the species.

Unknown at this point.

At somewhere near 50 Suns and Moons, Ixvapyans undergo their Trial, depending on their interest and where their inherit talent lies. Potential Warlords are trained on the jungle planet of [[Skrizvypai]]. Healers and Architects have their own Trial which determines the path of the particular Ixvapyan. It is at the onset of the Trial when Ixvapyan are given their '''scythemii;''' half-moon dualing blades which are 98% practical and 2% ceremonial. No Ixvapyan would be without their scythemii, incorporating one part of their arsenal they carry on their bodies.

This is the integral part of the Warlord, whereas they are removed from their systems and taken far out across space, compromising the entire whole of the Ithassa and beyond it. The Journey compromises the physical act of Learn as aspiring Warlords must learn to survive out in the galaxy and be exposed to other races, cultures, beliefs and technology which aid in their individual journeys home. Most Journeys will take upwards of 20 - 30 Suns and Moons (or 20-30 Terran Years), about half, a little over half, of the teenaged Ixvapyan. However, Journeys can be up to 50, sometimes 60 or 70 Suns and Moons, depending how far out the aspiring Warlord was taken. Warlords have usually reached adult age by the time they return (100 - 130 Suns and Moons) and ready to build their warship.

** As the Journey phase became known, the races of the Ithassa made it their business to hunt down and kill aspiring Warlords on their Journeys, which decreased the number of Warlords who did make it home and resulted in festering anger, hostility, and resentment to other races that interfered with their race and beliefs.

The path of a Warlord is distinguished by the '''Journey''' each individual candiate undertakes, deposited far from the Ixvapyan systems and left to find their way back to their race. Warlords undergo a fierce '''Trial''' to determine their worthiness before being dumped in some area of space well beyond the borders and left to fend for themselves. Often times potential Ixvapyan warlords are hunted down and killed by other members of the Core Worlds, greatly feared and hated. A Warlord commands an Ixvapyan warship for the race, either protecting the systems or hired to initiate war by another race. Older Warlords proceed to become Architects at a later age (around 250 - 300 years old).

They are Caed Ixvapyans that studied and practiced the art and science of war, demonstrating mastery over every single aspect, from blades to energy weapons, tactics and the design of war. The last known Blade Master died over one hundred and fifty years ago.

Or Scientists, those who develop, study and implement the science and work exclusively with Architects, Healers, and Engineers. Discovers are rare. They are also the ones that discovered and developed the metallic compoent in the dye they use to paint themselves which altered the Ixvapyan physiology (as to their genetic development of masking).

Warships were the primary backbone of the Ixvapyan military, each under the command of a Caed Warlord. Their executive officers are called Battle Leaders. Warships were described as a fusion of biology and metal, or '''biomechanoid'''. Warships had at least Engineers, Healers, and complimented by '''Initiates''' as the main body of the crew. Initiates were assigned as to their respective interests in skills.
