Hedoro

Summary::A peaceful monk-like race they have practiced the art of ki for eons and have almost perfected it’s use. The hedoro race started out like most others, as small organisms which eventually grew to a canine like-form and then eventually the hedoro turned into a humanoid like form, that is composed of a surprisingly firm ooze-like substance and from their they gained sentience and discovered the path to self-fulfillment, but this transition to sentience took more than a hundred years.

This self-fulfillment brought about a strong opposition to the uberich race who at one point tried to enslave the hedoro race and a series of skirmishes broke out among the planet Kazangan. The uberich had the upper hand as the hedoro race had no real warriors. Eventually those who did attempt to fight found that they had latent ki energy hidden in their veins (literally) and proceeded to use this latent energy to almost instantly turn the tide of war and sent the uberich invaders back to their home planet.

After this, a warrior tradition started. They practiced the art of ki manipulation, and after ten thousand years they were masters in the art to such a degree they could form massive balls of ki energy that would explode with force not seen in even some of the most advanced weaponry of the other races, as well as the ability to fire intensely concentrated beams of energy from their fingertips which literally drilled through multiple enemies. Truly they were powerful and now had the defenders to continue their peaceful existence.

Eventually the hedoro met many of the other races and found a close relationship with the noo race that has lasted until the present day.

Personality

As the hedoro are firm believers in self-fulfillment, they believe you achieve complete happiness as long as you try to be the best you can be, and understand that other races do not necessarily agree with them and that’s just fine. In fact, the hedoro race could care less. It is rare for them to get angry or enter a rage, but it does happen and when it does, their bodies change to reflect this and the veins on their body change color. They become yellow if you anger them and change to red when they are in a rage. This color changing has happened since the hedoro’s origin as a way to scare of predators. As was stated before, they rarely get angry.

Physical Description

Hedoro looks like a vaguely humanoid figure similar to a human except less defined and with less pronounced shoulders. They are colored almost pitch black with neon green “veins” of ki energy, they have eyes that appear as semicircles at a 40 degree angle so the eyes look angry but in actuality the hedoro are very peaceful. A hedoro does not need to sleep or breath and need to only eat and drink half as much as usual. They can also survive the empty void of space.

Relations

Hedoro usually come of as friendly, if a bit distant and have good relations with the noo race and by extension Noosphere. However they hate the uberichs and see their slaver traditions as a direct threat to self fulfillment. In actuality, the hedoro are very peaceful and only get riled up if you kill or injure a hedoro, or steal from them and especially if you are an uberich slaver.

Alignment

Hedoros are of any alignment though they tend toward neutrality.

Lands

Hedoros live on a volcanic planet, strangely most would think they would have dried out but in actuality they prefer the drier places. The name of their planet is Kazangan. the colour of lava is green and they have lakes but not any oceans.

Religion

Hedoros follow no god as they believe in self-fulfilment rather than serving others.

Language

Hedoro speak telepathically though they still “speak” so they need to know the language of a creature to talk to it.They also have their own language known as Hedoron.
