Overview

Naming

Probably have Sample Text for their names tbh THIS WAS A JOKE OH GOD

Biology

Vasilissan skin is primarily a thick chitin of varying color, iridescence, and texture, though this relies mostly on the race or region of the individual, from bumpy and rigid to thick and smooth.

Their faces are mostly similar in texture and composition as the rest of their skin, though they are mostly flat and lack a nose, one aberrant feature about their head is their four eyes, bubbling out instead of being indented to allow their already sleek face to become flush. Accompanying their lipped mouths are two mandibles that can protrude outward from their face, and within their mouths are many fanged teeth, a long, bulbous tongue, and spinnerettes, allowing them to shoot strands of silk.

Perhaps even more strange are the limbs and feelers on top of their head styled as what could be considered hair which one likely wouldn't be able to tell the difference between from a glance, and their "hair" color doesn't usually depend on the color of the rest of the individual's chitin.

One rather large feature of Vasilissans is the presence of four metalimbs on their back, which normally opt to face backwards, but are capable of stretching forwards to assist with tasks in front of the individual. Most tasks involve scaling walls, subduing prey, keeping balance, or just general chores if the individual is dexterous with them.

The average height of Vasilissans is six feet (183 cm) and higher, though females tend to be seven feet (213 cm) tall.

Vasilissans, being an arachnoid race, are cold blooded and may suffer greatly due to extreme temperatures. It's been noted that in extreme heat their chitin will begin to boil before the rest of their body hardens and curls up due to an (obvious) lack of hydration in their limbs, similar to arachnids. In circumstances of cold temperatures, however, a Vasilissan will begin to "shut down," starting with memory loss and headaches before escalating to a coma if left in cold conditions for a long period of time. Interestingly enough, taking the individual out of the cold climate will bring them out of the coma. Much like the latter portion of death due to extreme heat, however, their limbs will begin to curl as they suffer systemic organ failure from freezing temperatures.

Reproduction

Male on female, female has fertile eggs, lay eggs with ovipositor preferably into warm blooded creatures (or people)

Gender Differences

Females are bigger than males and are apparently 7 feet tall

Lifespan

The typical lifespan of a Vasilissan is normally within the range of 120 to 130 Earth years, though some have lived past the age of 150. 18 is generally considered the beginning of adulthood.

Silky smooth SCREECHING and clicks

Background

[PLACEHOLDER] From a temperate jungle planet, the Vasilissans were once a solitary, territorial people until great queens began to subjugate them. These 'Star Queens' ruled with an iron fist, and urged their subjects to expand their territory and to attempt to build great towering cities tall enough to literally reach the stars and their sun, which they believed to be gems of great magical power and spiritual significance. They were eventually picked up and ‘uplifted’ by NT due to their world being rich in precious metals, but their ability to design and create vast, strong, and luxurious structures with their silk which stood out well among their talents.

Home World

Welcome to the jungle ur gonna die (named Varilak)

Culture

Find religious stuff in gems I guess, has to do with their soul passing through stars (which they thought were gems) to reach the afterlife
