Suire

Name:  Suire
Notes:  A relative of Oceanids, Merrow, and Niads, the Suire species is known of their billowing, elegant tail fins.  Known as the most graceful of the species, Suire are able to use their usually elaborate fins in order to make their every move look like a dance.  Their grace through the water is one of the undisputed facts among these cousin species, one that has never been challenged.
Carrying their physical grace to their culture, Suire pride themselves on being just as graceful and elegant in how they live their lives.  This means that, on average, regular Suire are precise and dignified in what they do.  As this usually translates poorly to the field of combat, they are not really practitioners of warfare.  Instead, they use their status as an aquatic dwelling species to keep them safe from the usually land dwelling species that invade planets, meaning they often don't even know there are any Suire on world.  Another method they use to protect themselves, the Suire live with their more combat capable cousins, like the Merfolk, who protect them in exchange for the skills only a Suire can bring to the table.
As a people, Suire tend to make excellent diplomats as their nature makes them much more careful with their words.  They prefer to calm tensions, avoiding issues that could cause problems, which also ends up making them potent mediators.
