Falintaur

A species of Feline Taurs that was created by the Alzorians as an Experiment in Genetics. The Race is well known for the Mind Reading abilities. They are a common sight in Medical Facilities, Law Enforcement and Mental institutions. Though rare they sometimes serve for the Commonwealth Navy in many roles. They are unaware of their artificial nature.
== Description ==
They are Feline in nature having fur covering their whole bodies along with their Humanoid Half. Their Humanoid Halfs look very similar to Cejari but their lower bodies are Animalistic with four powerful legs. Their paws and hands has strong sharp claws.
== Mind Reading Abilities ==
They have such a powerful ability to read minds that they can't control the ability. So Falintauran Cubs get taught early on the ignore and focus their abilities. To read the mind of a chosen person they have to hone in and focus on that one mind and it's thoughts. While they aren't attempting to read minds they have to ignore the constant noise. Which sounds like many people talking at once even when it is completely silent. The Ability was an accidental addition during their creation.
== Lifespan ==
Their lifespan is a lot shorter compared the the averages of other species which comes to 80 years on average. This is directly due to their ability to read minds which would slowly cause their brain to effectively short circuit and fry after this period of time has their bodies start to naturally break down as they age. This flaw is well known and an offer to fix the flaw was extended by the Alzorian Union genetic engineers but was refused. The Felintaur not seeing it as a flaw but something to accept so they can cherish their limited time with loved ones.
== Culture ==
Their Culture is one of Union. They are a very close species who look out for each other and those who aren't their race. They love their family members absolute and it is show with their traditions and events. They greet family members and close friends with joined hands and placing their foreheads against each others closing their eyes. A sign of closeness and affection. They are known for taking in Orphans of other races and bring them up as their own. The Children growing up with Falintaur traditions and their own races as the family will teach them both.
The Believe in a group of gods known as the Speakers. The race follows all of them and their rules. The Speaker of Truth, Speaker of Family, Speaker of Love and Speaker of Union. It is illegal to tell lies but bending the truth is legal certain lies are allowed if the Falintuar Union allows it.
They also have a hatred towards harming others, as such refuse to partake in any form of violence or phycological harm no matter if it is necessary for their own survival, Due to this hatred they heavily rely on the Alzorian Union and its allies to protect them from hostile forces which would harm them.
== History ==
After the Collapse of the Great Galactic Federation the Alzorian Union carried on it's extensive Genertic Engineering and Research creating new species and other beings seeding them across space. The Falintaur was such a race which developed quickly among their creators which they did not know had created them.
They became a full member of the Alzorian Union of States and later after it's Formation the Commonwealth of Interstellar Systems.
== Notable Members ==
Shordan Starford: A Physics Scientist well known for his ability to hear the mathematics of the universe due to his heightened telepathy he invented some of the most advanced FTL Drives out in Known Space, He would of pushed technology to further new heights if it wasn't for his premature death caused by his own ability which shortened his lifespan from the average for Felintuars.
Alatina Starford: Niece of Shordan Starford she continues his research and work he had left behind after his death working at the Advanced Research Centre working on several highly classified projects.
