==Overview==<br />
The Sourang are a large, quadrupedal, omnivorous species native to the terraformed planet now known as Krakuntec IV. Most of The population now exists either as stowaways aboard Krakun vessels, or as pests inside homes on various Krakun home worlds.<br />
<br />
==Culture==<br />
Sourang are typically highly xenophobic, believing themselves to be smarter than all other races, including the krakun. Their culture promotes trade, and supports the skeleton of a capitalist social structure. <br />
<br />
Traditionally, sourang colonies do not have complex government or much leadership of any kind. Their society is maintained by the practice of promise making between individuals and groups. Sourang culture treats promise making in the same way that other races treat trade of goods. A promise to a sourang is the same as an object, a good that is exchanged with someone to obtain something else. To break a promise is the same as stealing another individual’s possession.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Sourang are fairly large, measuring 2.5 to 3.5 meters in length, and weighing anywhere from 300 to 360 kilograms. They have relatively short fur all over their bodies, however the fur on their rump is longer. Their fur ranges in color from light brown, to reddish brown, to grey, and often has speckles of other colors mixed throughout their coats.<br />
<br />
==Biochemistry==<br />
Sourang have a natural Autobiochemical sense, which allows them sense, classify and control their bodily functions to a much greater degree than other races with no external study (without the need to research the bodies of the deceased). This sense is not always immediate, but it is extremely accurate with enough practice and self reflection. Sourang can use the knowledge gained from this to control much of their bodily functions including respiration, organ function, and nutrition needs.<br />
<br />
Some sourang with a particular mastery of this skill have learned to edit and replace the DNA of other species with their own DNA, in order to alter their abilities. The method used in this process varies per sourang, but usually involves the injection of stem cells from a primed host into the bloodstream of a selected recipient. These stem cells collect to form a gland in the recipients body that then begins to release artificial and extremely aggressive viruses that destroy and replace the targeted DNA. typical genetic transfer is a long and very painful process that, depending on the modifications needed by the host, as well as the host species and many other factors, can take many months to complete.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
History<br />
<br />
The Sourang once lived on the planet that was eventually terraformed to become Krakuntec IV. Not much is known about the conditions of this planet before it was terraformed, primarily because most of its inhabitants were wiped out in the terraforming process. It is known however that the sourang were originally seen as an excellent slave race candidate due to their long lifespan and relative size/strength.<br />
<br />
This plan however went badly wrong when as soon as they were sold, they would begin to escape, utilizing their biological skill to change their body composition to adapt to the environments they were enslaved in. There was a brief time where the Krakun experimented with re-education, brain washing, and even lobotomy, but these strategies only ended in either the sourang’s death or the loss of their usefulness in labor. Eventually the krakun empire reclassified them as pests, and made it illegal to own a sourang as a slave. <br />
<br />
by then however, it was too late to stop the sourang invasion. They would make their way onto krakun ships throughout the empire, and spread across the planets, taking up residence in the walls and out of the way places in Krakun buildings. Soon, they were building communities inside these places, and according to a recent source, have in some places even established large trading networks between colonies throughout Krakun cities.<br />
<br />
A few Sourang have even made it to the Lio empire. Mostly as stowaways aboard captured Krakun ships, they were sometimes brought back as sorts of trophies from great battles in which there are large amounts of captured Krakun ships. Most of the time, these sourang are considered refugees, and are granted citizenship to the Lio empire. There is a small sustained population living in the Lio empire, but the vast majority still live in Krakun territory.<br />
<br />
==Music==<br />
(This section is not yet cannon)<br />
<br />
While sourang do not have distinct melodic traditions, they are capable of recognizing pitches and learning to play pitched instruments with little biological interference. The majority of sourang musical tradition however is rooted in an extremely rich percussion heritage carried with them all the way from their home planet. Sourang have an unusually high sensitivity to differences between supposedly simultaneous strikes, being able to detect two distinct strikes that are as close to 20 milliseconds from each other.<br />
<br />
This quirk of their biology allows sourang percussion music to become extremely complex rhythmically, making extensive use of polyrhythms and very fast note runs. Due to the unique biology of their paws, they can grasp and create usable pivots with two drumsticks in each hand, allowing experienced percussionists to achieve a roll speed of up to 4000 strikes per minute.</div>RETOTATOTOTATOhttps://geroo.space/index.php?title=Sourang&diff=339Sourang2020-08-04T03:28:02Z<p>RETOTATOTOTATO: Added history section + a few cleanup edits.</p>

<div>There are many sentient races in the Hayven Celestia universe. With only a few exceptions, most planets that support intelligent life only bring about one form of it, and so unless noted each race has exactly one native homeworld. While intelligent life is relatively rare, the galaxy is a very big place and has been explored for a very long time and so possesses an abundance of examples.<br />

<hr />
<div>==Description==<br />
The Dirembo is a medium sized stringed instrument that is roughly the same size as a human guitar. It has six strings, but there are also five and seven string variants. The strings are tuned starting from the middle, with the lowest string at the center. The strings then alternate sides as they move outward, with the highest string ending as the furthest string from the player.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Dirembo is a traditional instrument hailing from Gerootec, and has spread across the galaxy as geroo slaves and refugees of the diaspora have integrated into various societies around the galaxy. Though it has only been exposed to the music scene for around four hundred years, the instrument has found a fair amount of popularity in greater Lio Society, with many players who are Lio, Ringel, and many other races.<br />
<br />
==Development==<br />
The universe’s resident music Super-Nerd, Coda, is currently working to develop a standardized tuning system for the Dirembo. <br />
The latest update on the progress of this venture can be found at his YouTube channel, here.<br />

Essentially Anthro Hyenas<br />
Little bigger than geroo-1.6 to 2.1 m tall.<br />
<br />
Generally weak- not strong immune system, very susceptible to sickness, and therefore not popular as slaves<br />
<br />
However, their culture puts immense stress on caring for others, not because of honor, or loyalty, but just because it’s the right thing to do to help others out.<br />
<br />
Come from a very loosely organized, but highly advanced society that was easily taken over by the krakun, simply because the Fisi had no need for weapons, and therefore they didn’t have any.<br />
<br />
They have very large voice boxes, which allows them to do many things with their voices that are impossible for other species- this includes shouting at almost 100Db, and the average fisi having at least a four octave vocal range, which is often taken advantage of in their music, which is almost impossible for any other species to sing.<br />
<br />
The Fisi are an exceptionally kind people, and they viewed their enslavement like no other species in the galaxy. They almost unanimously saw this unfortunate surcumstance as an enormous opportunity to help massive amounts of people.</div>RETOTATOTOTATOhttps://geroo.space/index.php?title=Races&diff=329Races2020-02-06T04:23:02Z<p>RETOTATOTOTATO: </p>

==Overview==<br />
The Sourang are a large, quadrupedal, omnivorous species native to the terraformed planet now known as Krakuntec IV. Most of The population now exists either as stowaways aboard Krakun vessels, or as pests inside homes on various Krakun home worlds.<br />
<br />
==Culture==<br />
Sourang are typically highly xenophobic, believing themselves to be smarter than all other races, including the krakun. Their culture promotes trade, and supports the skeleton of a capitalist social structure. <br />
<br />
Traditionally, sourang colonies do not have complex government or much leadership of any kind. Their society is maintained by the practice of promise making between individuals and groups. Sourang culture treats promise making in the same way that other races treat trade of goods. A promise to a sourang is the same as an object, a good that is exchanged with someone to obtain something else. To break a promise is the same as stealing another individual’s possession.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Sourang are fairly large, measuring 2.5 to 3.5 meters in length, and weighing anywhere from 300 to 360 kilograms. They have relatively short fur all over their bodies, however the fur on their rump is longer. Their fur ranges in color from light brown, to reddish brown, to grey, and often has speckles of other colors mixed throughout their coats.<br />
<br />
==Biochemistry==<br />
Sourang have a natural Autobiochemical sense, which allows them sense, classify and control their bodily functions to a much greater degree than other races with no external study. This sense is not always immediate, but it is extremely accurate with enough practice and self reflection. Sourang can use the knowledge gained from this to control much of their bodily functions including respiration, and nutrition needs.<br />
<br />
Some sourang with a particular mastery of this skill have learned to edit and replace the DNA of other species with their own DNA, in order to alter their abilities. The method used in this process varies per sourang, but usually involves the injection of stem cells from a primed host into the bloodstream of a selected recipient. These stem cells collect to form a gland in the recipients body that then begins to release artificial and extremely aggressive viruses that destroy and replace the targeted DNA. typical genetic transfer is a long and very painful process that, depending on the modifications needed by the recipient, can take many months to complete.<br />
<br />
==Music==<br />
While sourang do not have distinct melodic traditions, they are capable of recognizing pitches and learning to play pitched instruments with little biological interference. The majority of sourang musical tradition however is rooted in an extremely rich percussion heritage. Sourang have an unusually high sensitivity to differences between supposedly simultaneous strikes, being able to detect two distinct strikes that are as close to 20 milliseconds from each other.<br />
<br />
This quirk of biology allows sourang percussion music to become extremely complex rhythmically, making extensive use of polyrhythms and very fast note runs. Due to the unique biology of their paws, they can grasp and create usable pivots with two drumsticks in each hand, allowing experienced percussionists to achieve a roll speed of up to 4000 strikes per minute.</div>RETOTATOTOTATOhttps://geroo.space/index.php?title=Sourang&diff=324Sourang2019-12-10T05:55:15Z<p>RETOTATOTOTATO: Added “Culture” section.</p>
