	'''Lepterans''' are one of the two races on Chitara, living alongside Carcids within The Hive. They are known for being extremely adaptable; however, they often have better mental fortitude due to their work environment. Most tend to work in management and are very data-driven and often use cybernetic augments to maintain this work ethic.

			=== Guilds and The Caste ===
	Guilds started as a way to keep communities alive in a broken world, but they have developed into oftentimes noxious and predatory environments. Smaller guilds tend to be based on genuine camaraderie and passion but offer less clout and power in society. Big guilds demand time, attention, and your personal aspirations but offer more security. Business becomes your whole life. Chitara is deeply mir ed in corporate warfare, new guilds popping up and cannibalizing each other, either succeeding at making it on their own or being folded into a bigger guild.

	'''Lepterans''' are bipedal creatures with mammalian and insectoid traits. They are covered in soft fur that is chitinous instead of keratinous like humans.

	Chitaran technology and medicine is famous all over the galaxy, with the only thing stopping profit being how much can be produced and how much Chitarans themselves depend on their own technology. The secret to their impressive technology is the utilization of crystals within their planet that contain massive amounts of heat magic called “Cores”, which they use like batteries to power their massive factories. If you’re using a disposable product, it most definitely came from Chitara. Quantity over quality is their way of life.

This leads to December becoming a month of pure rest. Chitarans use this month to give gifts to others and remember what they’re grateful for. Indulgence is a given, and the majority see this as the one time year-round they may pursue their passions un-faltered.

	* '''The Hive''' is a sprawling subterranean megacity that serves as the only livable location on Chitara. Shaped like a massive ant farm, most of it is constructed haphazardly, buildings just stacked on top of itself as fast as possible to fit as many people as possible. The bulk of the city along with its operations was constructed in less than a year, a feat accomplished by the Nine Pillars. While it started as one large district, it slowly split itself into three layers, each one with their own way of living.		* '''The Hive''' is a sprawling subterranean megacity that serves as the only livable location on Chitara.

While it started as one large district, it slowly split itself into three layers, each one with their own way of living.
	* '''Lumos''' is the land of leisure. Originally built to be a place of relaxation for all Chitarans, it slowly became a place of the rich and powerful as the rest of society slid through the cracks. Ironically though, if the walls were to cave in and the Raid finally pour in, they would be the first and quickest to fall. Life up here has become a land of starving artists and political warfare, the only difference is that it’s all covered up in elegance and honey-gold glamour. Here you will find the most luxurious museums, malls, plazas, restaurants, clubs, and anything imaginable. It is very cold due to being so close to the surface.		** '''Lumos''' is the land of leisure.

	* '''Humidus''' is the second layer, the land of the everyman. The white collar elysium. Flashing bright lights, advertisements, damp and moist streets as a result of condensation from Lumos. This layer takes up the mass majority of residence and work for many Chitarans. Here professionality is the standard, but to one-up and con is what many deem the true way to climb the ranks. Easy to fall out of, hard to make a name in, the middle layer is full of convenience stores, corporate buildings, apartments and the smallest patches of leisure for those who can’t afford Lumos. The area is relatively cold but not enough to be truly fashionable, only practical.		** '''Humidus''' is the second layer, the land of the everyman. The white collar elysium.

	Within Chitara, there is a notable foreign population on Chitara but they tend to be pretty spread out. Oftentimes travelers come for strictly business and business alone, while others come for secret tourist goldmines made off the sweat of Chitaran labor. Lagorans, another burrowing people, tend to be able to navigate the cave systems well. Ferrans also find themselves quite at home in the competitive rush of business as well as find great companionship in the Carcids due to their similar armored nature. Despite this, Chitara is not really accessible to other species and oftentimes guides are needed.

	When it comes to off-planet relations with foreigners, Lepterans and Carcids are stereotyped heavily by outsiders. Lepterans are often assumed to be “goblin-like” in behavior and deemed greedy and selfish. Carcids are assumed to be “orc-ish” in behavior and deemed stupid and violent. While Carcids are oftentimes more oppressed than Lepterans, both receive their harsh treatments due to their unsettling appearance and brutal stereotypes. Examples of Chitaran slurs include “cave-goblins”, “fairies”, “emergency food”, and “grubs” for Lepterans and “claw-~~draggers”~~, “crustbacks”, “rollie-pollies” and “raid-bait” for Carcids.

<blockquote>

A short overview of the species goes here. This should briefly summarize what they are, where they come from, and their general role in the setting.

This page is intended as a template and guide for creating new species pages. Please copy this page when creating a new entry.

== How to Use This Template ==

This page is a '''template and guide'''. Do not directly edit this page!!

To create a new species page:
* Use the ''source editor''
* Copy this page
* Paste it into a new page named after your species

Ensure the page is properly categorized under the '''Species''' category.

== Core Worldview ==

What is this species' outlook on the world? What is their main mentality?

== Physiology and Design ==

What do these guys look like physically? Why? What adaptations to their environment do they have? How long do they live (feel free to scale this based on human lifespans, feel free to take the number I supplied for Odyssey's worldbuilding)

== Social Structures and Community ==

Are there cities? Towns? How do families work? Hierarchy? Governance?

== Religion and Spirituality ==

What do they believe in religiously, if at all? Are there gods? Do they worship the Nullstar? Fear it?

== Technology and Science ==

Here you guys can expand. If there's a specialty relating to one field or another, include it. Are they especially good at invention? Chemistry? Biology? You can also add a section for literature and artisinal aspects if you would like.

== Traditional Clothing and Fashion ==

I urge you to think of what would be practical to wear given the species' line of work and environment, but also how the species would choose to dress and accessorize given their biology and physical traits. Have fun with this!

== Occupations ==

The point of this section is to list some fields that this species could specialize in to give people more ideas for their character.

== Starships and Space Travel ==

What does travel look like for this species? What do ships native to their planet look like? Do they travel often? Do they have bustling ports or are they more closed off?

== Cultural Quirks and Daily Life ==

A big trivia section, basically. I'd encourage incorporating animal mannerisms and fun little traits that don't fit anywhere else.

== Notable Locations ==

List important places tied to this species.

== Interactions With Other Species ==

Especially the other species that they share the planet with. You may need to work with the other teams for this. But I'd like to see this section just to foster more player interactions from the get-go. It's easy plot hooks.

== Inspiration Images ==

Add visual references here!

== Concept Art ==

Add actual concept art here, stuff we made!
