[[Image:Ananja_Portrait.png|thumb|250px|[[Ananja]], A Kubarey Female]]The Kubarey bear considerable similarities to many other Alpha Quadrant species; they are sexually diamorphic and humanoid in appearance, almost hairless except for the hair on their head, eyebrows and eyelashes. They also possess a pair of caprine horns that begin to develop shortly after birth, located toward the posterior edge of the frontal bone. The horns of the female tend to be smaller and more compact than the male. | |||
Skin colour ranges from a light, powder blue to a deep violet. Hair colour is more varied; white, greys and black are among the most common, and more rarely shades of blue. Eye colour is usually a shade of blue or violet, with reds and ambers much more uncommon. | |||
Average height is between 1.78m (5'10<nowiki>''</nowiki>) and 1.88m (6'2<nowiki>''</nowiki>) for both sexes, with males exhibiting more muscle mass and heavier skeletons than the females. Relative to humans, Kubarey are approximately two to three times stronger than their counterparts. | |||
Average life expectancy is approximately 800 years for both males and females, with physical maturity reached between the ages of 30 - 50. | |||
====Reproduction==== | |||
Kubarey females have the ability to hold an embryo in suspension within their bodies. This happens after fertilisation, when a specific amino acid essential for foetal development is missing from the mother's diet. The modern diet means that this rarely occurs naturally, but is sometimes deliberately triggered by woman separated from their partners, or who have specific obligations to complete (such as an expedition or tour of duty away from home). | |||
====Telepathic Abilities==== | |||
The Kubarey are not universally telepathic. The ability has been emerging in the population over recent generations, and there is considerable discussion over the appropriate way to deal with telepathic individuals. Currently, all telepaths are tested and registered, with restrictions placed upon how, when and where they may use their abilities. | |||

====The Four Virtues==== | |||
==== | |||
All Kubarey aspire to live their lives according to the Four Virtues: wisdom, courage, duty and beauty. The interpretation of the virtues is often heavily dependant on which Prakarna the individual belongs to. | All Kubarey aspire to live their lives according to the Four Virtues: wisdom, courage, duty and beauty.

Kubarey society revolves around an endogamous, hereditary caste system, which stratifies their population into specific groups with specific roles. While it is possible to move between groups, through adoption or marriage, such social movement is rare and was illegal for much of history. | Kubarey society revolves around an endogamous, hereditary caste system, which stratifies their population into specific groups with specific roles.

Little is currently know about the full capabilities of Kubarey technology.

In some aspects, it may be considerably more advanced. | Little is currently know about the full capabilities of Kubarey technology.
