Akten

The native citizens of Elion, the akten, are notorious throughout the Primarius for their unique physiology.
== Biology and Anatomy ==
Akten are unlike many other races in the galaxy due to their unique physiology: similar to the rest of the galaxy's plants rather than their animals. With hardened bark-like skin plating that shields softer innards, irregular body types and sizes, and auxiliary or vestigial limbs, it's easy for outsiders to mistake an akten for trees or plants.
Akten struggle to breathe in what other species would typically find cool, clean air, akten thrive in noxious, chemical-rich environments that their bodies use as fuel. As they do not eat, the akten are usually much less mobile than those they share the galaxy with, and can often hibernate for months and months at a time, so long as they can continue to breathe.
During these hibernations, Akten often find themselves numbly aware of their surroundings, able to feel wind. To a degree, sounds might register, but do not roust the hibernating listener. As a result, any sleeping akten, even if likely dead, are left to rest where they stand. Most akten lives end with a decision to hibernate, an odd willing away from their home and their families, to sleep in a quiet and peaceful place, one they will not wake up from.
The akten grow slowly, and are typically quite rigid and inflexible once they reach maturity. As a result of their hardening physiology, most adult akten shamble, or move with abrupt, jerking motions, if they are inclined to move at all. Due to their largely immobile lifestyle, many akten serve as the host body for smaller plant life, including vines or small cacti.
