===Planet of Origin===

Threa'ya. This planet is 6.4 times smaller than Earth and its gravity is about 0.86% weaker than that of Earth's. A single day lasts 22.04 hours and a year lasts 212 days. The planet is made up of 2 continents, which make up 73% of the planet's landmass which covers 52.3% of the planet's surface. The plant life on this planet is comprised mostly of different types of grass, but they could be compared to flowers, as they come in almost every color and they have incredible scents. Trees and larger shrubs make up most of the higher layers, but flowers and fungi are rare. While the surface may have gorgeous forests the underwater world also has its fair share of forests. Mostly in the form of long, grass-like water plants, but there are a few places in this planet's sea's where actual underwater forests grow. The species in these forests are uniquely evolved trees, but they work in similar ways as surface species. Roots keep them in place, while a trunk helps carry the nutrients to every part of its body. At the top, the branch's often reach above the surface and sprout various leaves and flora, giving the water a mystical feel.

===History===

While their documented history can only be traced back to around eight thousand years ago, there is sufficient archeological evidence that their race evolved on their planet and was among the first being to exist on their planet. Their world has been lucky in that it has only seen events such as the ice age twice in the entire length of time that life has existed on it. The first event was the splitting of their supercontinent into two major land masses that remained connected in the northern region. The second major event of this nature was a short ice age caused by sudden volcanic activity filling the air with thick smoke and gas. The ice age event came close to wiping out the Threans ancestors but enough of the species survived to see clear sky's and were able to keep their race going. On both of these occasions, the Threan ancestors were able to survive through a variety of creative and clever means and their race avoided extinction both times though quite narrowly in the ice age.
