Prifeli

== Physical Information ==
The Prifeli are the second race created by the humans on Demet after the Ald, specifically Callie McArthur, to substitute human life.
Unbeknownst to the others, these people were created with a massively overactive sex drive, complete obedience, and and catlike features such as ears, eyes and tails. On the day that the AGTs were meant to be opened, the three other crew members found only Callie and the ten Prifeli having sex with one another on the pod room floor.
The Prifeli tried to get the others to come in but they sedated them and confronted Callie. It had turned out she was a fan of an old earth Japanese entertainment medium, and some prominently featured feline/human hybrids, which were her inspiration.
Given the opportunity to create a life form of her own her imagination, combined with her lack of seriousness for the mission, went wild. Her privileges were revoked and she was treated as a mere passenger on the ship from that point forwards. Landon Pierce took over the next project, to create the Une.
ATLAS was given permission to dispose of them, but he only brought them to an area south of where the Ald lived. Across a sea in the hot summer areas of the planet, now known to the rest of Demet as "The Wilds".
Their sex drive and short gestation times led to a quickly growing population, but their drive hardly left room for much else. They quickly descended into a primal state, after almost 3400 Earth years, or 3207 Demetian years, they have reached their iron age, and with the largest population on the planet. Their government is still mostly feudal in nature, but one large group has risen above the rest and is overtaking The Wilds.
Their drive has helped with their population growth, but their obedience makes them terrible leaders among the other races.
Some have migrated north, saved from the Saraph by either the NAR or Unem Territories. They have come to be loved by the Unem, seen as adorable and used prominently in marketing material to appeal to audiences who like them as they far outnumber those who don't. 
They are easy to tell apart from the others based on a first glance. Their slanted, catlike eyes. Tall pointed ears, and tail give them away. Let alone the wide variety of exotic hair colors. 
They also tend to be taller than other races of Demet, and much shorter lived. 
== Historical Information ==
Early in their history, before the continent spanning empire they are now, for nearly 1700 years they were essentially nomadic groups, separated based on who their families were. Your family was your tribe. While some chose to mate amongst themselves, most, when reaching the childbearing age of 14, left their families in search of other groups. Some spent years wandering, and some were never seen again.
Later when they decided that multiple families could live in one group, and it was beneficial to stay in one place, villages began forming. The amount of territory around villages was decided by who could defend it better. Most would succumb to larger, stronger groups. 
As the need to defend the territories that the various tribes had claimed grew, the technology of their people did as well. Great wooden walls went up around their villages, tents and huts being replaced with stone walled houses. Deposits of metals were found in the sides of mountains, such as tin and iron. Bladed weapons made from tin became widespread and iron was reserved for more important pursuits, such as armor and arrowheads. 
This continued for several hundred years. Certain professions that didn't revolve around war and hunting became more popular when combat became easier. Such as art, science, and music. Prostitution was always happening, and is still one of the most profitable businesses in the wilds to this day. 
The chaos of the dozens of tribes was soon to end however, as the woman who would unite the various kingdoms was born. Lin Aye. Born to a working girl and her client, she was abandoned at a young age as an unwanted child. 
Joining the military of her home kingdom of Eversun, she ended up surviving a bloody conflict with the Dreadsand kingdom that saw the death of the king and his heirs. There was a contest of skill held between surviving warriors. Fight after fight, she caused her opponent to surrender. She was elected queen the following week at the young age of 17.
She had a different idea, as immediately following her coronation she declared herself empress and she started a draft. Nearly the entire population above breeding age was brought to the newly constructed army barracks on the border between Dreadsand and Eversun. 
Within a decade, the entire continent, save the territories belonging to more advanced races, was under the control of the Linayein Empire. They have healthy relations with the New Ald Republic, Unem Territories and certain sects of the dissolved Eastern Dominion. 
Despite Empress Aye's tough beginnings, she has been a fair and just ruler and is loved by nearly all her subjects. The individual kingdoms of the empire are still semi autonomous states. Category:Sentient Life
