"Optional species quote or defining cultural phrase." — Someone from this species
Despite their pointed ears, colorful markings, and varied skin tones, Aurelians take pride in their similarities to the humans of old. Being native to their artificial construct world Eden, they view themselves as conquerors of nature’s laws. Surrounded by machinery and steel, Aurelians believe in the Binary, the innate ability for a machine to communicate regardless of its programmed functions. They favor order and predictability, creating a culture that is ever evolving as it breaks down knowledge in order to understand and incorporate it into their society. The sole exception to this is magic, which has been widely outlawed due to its chaotic nature. This, coupled with their desire to influence the universe with their worldviews, has labeled them as brash colonizers by other species. Despite this, Aurelians harbor numerous trade relations and are, at the very least, cordial in their dealings. Regardless of their views, trade is important in the upkeep of the Eden Construct, especially as overpopulation slowly plagues their society.
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.
