"Optional species quote or defining cultural phrase." — Someone from this species
The Cervari are characterized by appearances resembling a variety of hooved animals, and thus vary widely in appearance. Heights and antlers versus horns, as well as coloration, depend largely on species. Cloven hooves and digitigrade legs and tails are universal, and most have some form of horns or antlers, which serve as mana storage and allow for greater connection with Velora as though it were one nervous system. Cloven hands are possible, but not the norm. Culturally, both they and the Lagorans take a great deal of pride in their appearance socially, believing themselves to be honorable and just compared to other races. Acts of violence and ill intent are considered deeply shameful, and punishments can range from public shaming to the removal of one’s antlers, cutting them off from the use of magic and communication with their planet. They see all life in the universe as intrinsically connected and will try to create bonds with others wherever possible, seeking herd behaviors wherever they go.
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.
