ATAVUS

Planet of origin: Atavus / Tealon Homeworld

The Atavus species as a whole encountered the Kimera at some point 8 to 10 million years ago. They probably gained access to interstellar travel technologies through their extermination of the Kimera.

The Kimera allegedly altered the Atavus, transforming most of them by merging their genetic material with them. This change ultimately lead them to a split into the Taelons and Jaridians sub-species.

The original Atavus were energy vampires, able to drain other creatures of their life essence. They inherited form the merge the Shaqarava organ. For the Kimera, Shaqarava was powered by ones life essence and embodied the totality of self. They used it for communication, sharing memory, thoughts and spirits with one-another, healing, to assume the form of others and exchange genetic information, to create defensive force fields and as a weapon creating destructive energy blasts strong enough to vaporise an unprotected opponent.

ATAVUS - TEALON SUBSPECIES

Planet of origin: Tealon Homeworld

Tealons are members of the Atavus race altered by the Kimera were cultists who devoted themselves to the pursuit of immortality and spiritual perfection, which led them to shed most of their material envelope to attain a state of existence as pure energy much like that of the Kimera. The first Taelon used their energy draining capabilities enhanced by the shqarava to take a significant portion of the life energy of another of his race.. Other members of the cult followed this practice, eventually becoming beings of pure energy. Their actions sparked the war between the Taelons and the remaining Atavus. This divergence led to the speciation of the Atavus to split into two sub-species, Taelons and Jaridians. The action of the tealons having shortened Jaridian lifespans by two thirds, while Taelon lifespans were extended by a factor of 200. The final split between the two is believed to have occurred roughly eight million years ago when Jaridians fled their homeworld to re-establish themselves on Jaridia in the 61 Cygni star system. Tealons lifespans possibly can possibly be counted in thousands of years while Jaridians’ is shorter than that of mankind.

Taelons appear as tall hairless humanoids of a slender build. They are androgynous and although they are now sterile, they evolved into asexual reproduction. They are mainly composed of energy with a material skinlike façade they can alter to mimic to ressemble that of other species upon sampling their DNA, a trait probably inherited from the Kimera.

To maintain their spiritual perfection state, the tealons have developed a partial collective consciousness, known as The Commonality which links them all to one another telepathically. It does not directly control individuals, nor allows them to view the thoughts and actions of another immediately but prevents them to act directly against the collective will, even if they feel that the majority is wrong. The Commonality also help them to stay in their Taelon state and should one become disconnected from it, he would revert to they Atavus state.

ATAVUS - JARIDIAN SUBSPECIES

Planet of origin: Atavus/Tealon Homeworld (Name unknown)
Planet of adoption: Jaridia (61 Cygni System)

The Jaridians are large and muscular sexuate humanoids with a vaguely reptilian appearance. The Jaridians are able to reproduce freely and rapidly, but have tragically shortened lifespans. Upon death, they combust due to an inability to control the energies of the shaqarava.

KIMERA

Homeworld: Kimera

Kimera's exact physiology is unknown, they appear as humanoid energy beings possess ing chameleon-like abilities, allowing them to impersonate other creatures, aparrently to take on their memories and to genetically adapt in order to mate with them in order to produce Kimeran hybrids. It is not known though if they require two individuals for simple reproduction purposes.

The Kimera were said to be a race of interstellar researchers and spiritualists who traveled space and visited other species to bond with them using their unique genetic nature. When they came in contact with the Atavaus species some 8 to 10 millions ago, they altered and split that race into two new species with different Kimera traits, Jaridians and Tealons. They are believed to have been exterminated by the latter afterward and are now generally believed extinct .
