————————————————

PHYSICAL STRUCTURE

The Krelnoq are a serene and intriguing species standing at approximately 1.5 meters tall. Their bodies are covered in soft, smooth scales that shimmer in various shades of blue under the right light, providing an otherworldly beauty. Their heads resemble that of a salamander, characterized by rounded features and a gentle expression that reflects their peaceful nature. A bioluminescent band encircles the back of their heads, emitting a soft blue glow that brightens in intensity based on their emotional state. Their large, black eyes, flecked with brilliant specks of bioluminescent blue, grant them night vision and a captivating gaze that can be both soothing and disarming.

The Krelnoq typically wear flowing, soft grey robes that allow for ease of movement and comfort. They carry a satchel filled with herbs and natural remedies, as well as small personal items that connect them to their surroundings. Their feet are tough and resilient, negating the need for shoes, allowing them to traverse diverse terrains with agility and grace.

SENSES

The Krelnoq possess heightened senses, particularly in regard to their sight and touch. Their large eyes grant them exceptional vision, even in low light, while their ability to detect subtle bioluminescent signals allows them to communicate and navigate within their environment. Additionally, they have a keen sense of touch that enhances their restorative abilities when working with others.

SPEECH

The Krelnoq communicate through a melodic combination of vocalizations that resemble soft croaks, chirps, and hisses, often accompanied by gentle hand gestures that enhance their meaning. Their language is rich in tones and fluidity, reflecting their belief in harmony and peace. Key components of their communication include:

Melodic Tones: Different pitches indicate emotions and concepts, fostering a deep, empathetic connection.
Gestures: Fluid hand movements accompany their vocalizations, adding layers of meaning and expression.

SOCIETY AND CUSTOMS

Krelnoq society is deeply rooted in pacifism, cooperation, and a connection to nature. They live in communities that prioritize harmony, valuing each individual’s unique contributions. Their customs involve communal gatherings focused on storytelling, healing practices, and consultations with nature to ensure balance within their environment.

Krelnoq do not believe in using technology except when absolutely necessary, favoring natural remedies and organic solutions to problems. This ideal reinforces their commitment to living in harmony with their surroundings.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Healing Touch: The gentle touch of a Krelnoq can restore stamina to others, providing healing of up to d10 x 3. This ability highlights their commitment to peace and nurturing, as they prioritize the well-being of others over their own.
Biotic Blast: Krelnoq can channel energy from their bodies to fire a concentrated bioluminescent blast from their hands, functioning like a laser rifle. This ability consumes 5 SEU per use and can be performed up to 20 times before they become tired and must rest.
Restorative Rest: Krelnoq must rest for at least 8 hours to restore their energy for both healing abilities and biotic blasts. Biocort and Stimdoses have no effect on their healing; they rely solely on rest to regain their stamina.

PHILOSOPHY

The Krelnoq are staunch advocates for true peace and will not engage in combat to save their own lives. They believe that the sanctity of life is paramount and will only fight to protect others and then only as an absolute last resort. Their philosophy emphasizes that true strength lies in compassion and understanding rather than violence.
