HNIC A slow, incurable blood-borne retroviral-like pathogen that progressively destroys immune function and, after immune collapse, triggers a secondary neuroautoimmune syndrome: progressive muscle rigidity, painful spasms, paralysis episodes and ultimately catastrophic seizures that stop blood flow to brain and organs. It spreads via blood-to-blood contact, no other way. It doesn’t spread through other bodily fluids (male lubrication, tears, spit, mucous). It may spread through unprotected sex, illegal organ grafts/harvests, shared needles, battlefield wounds, surgical errors. Medical: Hemocentric Neuro-Immuno Collapse (HNIC) Slang: The Lock, Blue Drip A viral protein evolved to bind a copper-binding motif in Skolexari blood, overcoming their usual resistance. Their natural regenerative and resistance is corrupted and turned against them. Note: This is not a common illness, but it’s a scary one. Type: Retrovirus-like blood pathogen with immune-cell tropism and neuro-triggering cofacto...

Purity is purpose. From pure roots grows unshakable power. From the First’s marrow we were shaped. Skolexari - Overview General Overview The Skolexari universe is set in the year 8589, within a vast, ancient interstellar empire shaped by clan loyalty, religious conviction, technological power, and generations of warfare. At its center are the Skolexari themselves: a formidable humanoid species whose society can be nurturing and secure within its borders, yet violently imperial beyond them. Their civilization offers its citizens stability, education, medicine, and a powerful sense of belonging, while its expansion has brought conquest, forced assimilation, slavery, and extinction to civilizations it considers lesser. Skolexari are tall, green-skinned humanoids with sharply pointed ears, dense metal-rich bones, neon-blue blood, and an average lifespan of roughly two centuries. Most stand between seven and a half and eight and a half feet tall, although individuals may range from six to t...

Most Skolexari speak intergalactic standard, a language designed in the SB-5 Pact as a way of communicating and understanding important terms. Universal translators are commonplace but some view them as a sign of stupidity or lazines...

 Lunaxi’z The Skolexari follow two main religions: Lunaxi’z the religion of the general population and Aurum Lexari, the warrior’s faith. Lunaxi’z: major religion of the Skolexari. Nature-based, earth and spirit-centered, focuses on personal connection rather than formal doctrine.  This belief system is decentralized, individualistic, and spiritually flexible, making it the dominant religion among the general Skolexari population. Lunaxi’z has no temples, churches, or sacred areas. It has no leader, priest, or written word. Believes Skolexari homeworld is sacred and divine, Skolexari should connect to their sacred earth. Believes that the universe is interconnected, interlinked, and repeating. This is why Skolexari encounter repeating symbols even among aliens (spirals, stars, arrows, circles, infinity loop, and so on) and a variety of bipedal humanoid species. Believe all species with pointed ears are part of the same divine force or “holy earth” and call such species Star-S...

  Holidays Holidays New Year The Largest Skolexari celebration, observed across all colonies and synchronized with the homeworld’s solar cycle (so, they celebrate the Skolexari homeworld's new year). Skolexari celebrate with close kin and dear friends, cook traditional food and favorite family dishes, exchange gifts, and spend time together.  - Birthdays Commonly celebrated, but Skolexari do not exchange gifts. On birthdays Skolexari go to their parents and honor them with traditional cooking, spending time together, re-telling favorite family stories, expressing gratitude for the devotion their parents gave to them in order to raise them. The birthday is about one’s parents, not oneself. If family is strained, birthdays are ignored as a snub or signal of dislike, which can be hurtful. Nieces, nephews, or other younger family members may visit and celebrate their elder member's birthday to show devotion. - Hoxska’dx Once every 5 years. Militaristic holiday commemorating the mi...

Worlds Colonies are terraformed worlds conquered by Skolexari, who love to custom design planets (then terraform). Colonies are designed and may even be themed (such as the Luxury Colony which is entirely pink and white colored landscapes). They have planets for tailored living. Most planets house a wide range of Skolexari (different wealth, cradle marks) but others are built around the military or retirement. Artificial worlds: world-mimicking space stations are called Construct Planets. How “organic” something looks is a matter of design choice, some look like a real world and others look technological. If it mimics organic it is a Construct Planet. Colony 01 - a Military Colony. The first planet conquered by the Skolexari, the oldest colony. It is one of many military colonies but because of its history it is a favorite among military personnel. Main city: Silver Spine. Sola 7 - a medium sized planet with purple flora and fauna. It has coldwater lakes with big predatory fish Skole...

 Aurum Lexari Note: Aurum Lexari represent only a small % of the Skolexari population. Not all red cradle marked Skolexari are Aurum Lexari nor are all warriors. This faith is, generally, unpopular and even warriors take some parts of it but disregard others. The practices of the devout within the Temple deviate from Skolexari society as a whole.  - The Warrior’s faith is known as Aurum Lexari, or The Golden Lock. A stoic and brutal religion centered around the worship of a faceless female goddess who wears a metal mask (Juneali). Aurum Lexari exalt strength, stoicism, and the embrace of pain and hardship. Religious warriors exhibit little to no tolerance for perceived weakness. Their extreme beliefs often isolate them from those outside the faith, making it difficult for them to form friendships with non-adherents. Most warriors are nonreligious. The Temple serves all warriors, regardless of religion or species (Skolexari, SB-5 Pact, Star-Seed, half-breed). Any warrior is wel...

The Cradle Mark General At birth, each Skolexari is born with a natural gemstone embedded in the flesh of their inner wrist. Cradle Marks do not dictate Skolexari destiny, but they are symbolic of the individual's basic personality and what their talents may be. Jobs and roles favor Skolexari whose Cradle Mark aligns with traditional expectations. Example: high-ranking military have red Cradle Marks, religious leaders have white. Cradle Marks function like a hardcore astrological sign. Some Skolexari deeply identify with their mark and its meaning, while others do not. Certain colors have strong reputations or social associations, some more prestigious or burdensome than others. Obscure colors, like black, are harder to interpret, tend to recur in individuals who pursue certain paths or exhibit specific mentalities. Family, colony, and culture also is deeply interconnected with Cradle Marks and their meaning. These colors run in families and are passed down genetically (two red Cra...
