====== Kolraka ====== === [species] === ~~TOC~~ **Pronunciation**: (cole-RAH-kah)\\ **Homeworld**: [[galaxy:Kolra]]\\ **Empire**: [[galaxy:Kolrakien]]\\ The Kolraka are a species of solitary creatures that are agile, self-sufficient, and the most intelligent creatures in the galaxy. They even exceed the [[Tyroi]], which are more widely known for their intelligence. Unlike the Tyroi, the Kolraka rarely employ their mental gifts for the benefit of others \\ Kolraka Water Adept ==== Physical description ==== Kolraka have slender bodies, supported by four legs. They have four arms, two of which have hands with long slender fingers. The other two are tentacles with suction cups lining the underside. Their feet have similar cups which allow them to be excellent climbers. Their skin is clammy and is typically lightly patterned with slightly darker patches of skin, occasionally including limited bioluminescence, exhibiting a light blue light. Their faces humanoid, and are broad with wider set eyes relative to the other humanoid species. Their ears and noses do not protrude heavily from their faces. They have no hair, but do have thick tentacles protruding over the back of their head which appear visually similar to thick braids of hair, and which curl slightly at the ends \\ ==== Relations ==== The Kolraka are respected throughout the galaxy, and are highly sought after for their intelligence and skill, if they can be persuaded to work with others. Without an organized population to take sides in conflicts, the Kolraka are viewed as intentionally nuetral in most matters \\ ==== Adventurers ==== Kolraka are natural adventurers and are extremely practical, grouping up with adventuring crews whenever the situation calls for it \\ ==== Species traits ==== **Hit Point Formula:** //Res + 3d6//\\ **Formidable Intelligence**: +1 Dexterity, +4 Intelligence, +1 Resolve\\ **Medium**: +1 bonus to grapple maneuvers against smaller targets\\ **Movement Speed**: Kolraka have a base movement speed of 30 feet\\ **Quadraped**: [[combat#Advantage]] on defensive actions against trip manuevers and on [[acrobatics|Balance]] checks\\ **Athletic Adept**: Gain [[Athletics]] as a Skill Focus at level one\\ **Natural Learner**: Gain one Skill Focus of your choice at level one\\ \\ ==== Physical characteristics ==== ^Characteristic^Description^ |Life Exp.|110-270 years| |Adulthood|5-8 years| |Diet|Plants, Water| |Sexes|F, M| |Eye Colors|Black, Grey, Blue, Purple| |Hair Colors|N/A| |Skin Colors|Grey, Grey Lavender, Grey Blue| |Height Range (adult)|5' 2" - 6' 2"| |Weight Range (adult)|160-210 lbs| |[[wiki:sizes|Size]] Category|Medium| |Base Movement Speed|30 ft| |Swim Speed|30 ft| |Burrow Speed (if applicable)|20 ft| \\ ==== Relevant history ==== [[wiki:galactic timeline|Galactic historical records]] relevant to the Kolraka * **5,289,949,411**: [[galaxy:Kolra]] is forged by [[wiki:Kajen]], the astral smith * **5,353,843,128**: The planets of the [[galaxy:Kolra]] star system are formed by [[wiki:Qijen]], the planetary smith * **5,353,875,495**: Planetary oceans in the [[galaxy:Kolra]] star system are formed by [[wiki:Namu]], Sura of the seas * **5,364,324,324**: Fungal and plant life spread to the [[galaxy:Kolra]] star system * **5,369,508,337**: Animal life spreads to the [[galaxy:Kolra]] star system * **5,483,403,081**: The Kolraka awaken in the [[galaxy:Kolra]] star system * **5,676,718,806**: The Kolraka discover ki manipulation * **5,765,190,377**: The Kolraka develop spoken language * **5,765,881,065**: The Kolraka develop written language * **5,923,811,038**: The Kolraka achieve planetary unity * **5,964,289,991**: Plant life in the [[galaxy:Galactic Geography#Kiritam Branch]] learns gravitational ki manipulation * **6,188,477,023**: The Kolraka discover gravitational ki manipulation * **6,226,099,262**: The Kolraka embark on their first interplanetary expedition to [[galaxy:Kolra|Kolra I]] * **6,226,099,380**: The Kolraka establish their first interplanetary settlement on [[galaxy:Kolra|Kolra IV]] * **6,230,505,674**: The Kolraka embark on their first interstellar expedition to [[galaxy:Ekata]] * **6,230,505,719**: The Kolraka establish their first interstellar settlement on [[galaxy:Ekata]] \\ \\ ===== Randomly generating characteristics ===== You may wish to randomly generate the physical characteristics of your character.
