Species Name: Ekanian
Planet of Origin: Ekan-2
Limbs: 4 (2 arms, 2 legs)
Lifespan: 175 years (adulthood-45 years, maturity-105 years, elderly-150 years)
Appearance: The Ekanians have smooth, green skin which changes hue due to aging or biological variation. The skin will also, sometimes, shift towards a mix with orange, yellow, blue, and violet. Their eye color is black (entire eye). Their hands have four fingers and their feet look like those of a large feline. Upon their head rests a crest extending from their upper forehead to the back of their head in which the back is about 25-50 centimeters farther out than the average human skull (length varies due to biological factors). Most males, once at the age of 25-30, develop slightly defined muscles on the arms, legs, and chest. Less than 50% of the population have any sort of hair.
Average Height: Male= 7'10, Female=7'2
Average Weight: Male= 200 lbs, Female=165 lbs
History: The Ekanians began as a lizard like creature on the planet Ekan-1. They thrived for a good 500 years before an unidentifiable object (presumably an asteroid) came spiraling down and destroyed the planet. As chunks of the deceased planet dispersed throughout the solar system, a chunk which contain a small group of unconscious Ekanians crashed onto the planet known as Ekan-2. From the 15 unconscious, only 3 survived the impact.
Another 550 years would pass before evolution would change the Ekanians. Over that time span, the animals took on a more humanoid sentient form, becoming bipedal and omnivorous. A small group of these new Ekanians excelled in gaining intelligence, growing smarter than the others. They formed the first society of the species. This group began to slowly wipe out the less intelligent Ekanians and got the more intelligent ones to join their ranks.
300 more years would go by before the Ekanians would become what they look like now. After several tribal, imperial, and national wars, the Ekanians had developed better armor, weapons, land vehicles, sea-fairing ships, and special aircraft. Fifteen nations would form over Ekan-2's 3 continents. These nations developed a league called the Mutual Ancestral Ties Allegiance (M.A.T.A.).
50 years later, space fairing technology was developed, edited, and constructed, allowing the Ekanians to venture out into space.
Culture: Ekanians don't have their own religion, but have maintained a sense of a social status determined by their profession and wealth. Tensions don't openly exist between the social classes, in fact, enforcement of social statuses is not common.
The governmental system varies for each Ekanian nation, but they are roughly the same as democratic or republic systems.
Even though, as stated before, Ekanians don't have their own religion, they still believe in celestial guardians. Each community has its own council of Ekanian elders who, once every month, will communicate with the beings and tell everyone what is to be expected during the coming weeks. Ekanians don't regard this to be religious, but merely a spiritual activity.
Reproduction: female Ekanians will give birth to two infants after 10 months of pregnancy. On certain occasions, this number of infants may double or even triple.
