Obraldian

== The Obraldians ==
The Obraldians are a partially silicon and partially carbon-based lifeform that can be dated back by millions of years. The earliest known location of the species can be found in Rathnir, Sparwood, however, it is suspected that they may have originated from other unknown locations. Fossils and artifacts from Obradlians are few in number, but some have been dated back by several million years, although some claim that the species have been around since the life was first created.
Obraldians are now few in number, an endangered species which was caused by the population boom of humans and other species in Rathnir. Several Obraldians soon moved into eldham, many dying . The Obraldians are avid collectors in ancient artifacts, books and other related subjects, especially when these items are linked to their own history. Some Obraldians are also excellent builders and architects, who build large structures which incorporate the local environment. The design of the buildings insure that those within stay cool and comfortable.
== Biology ==
The common Obraldian is around 2 meters tall, however sizes can wildly vary by another 2 meters. Obraldians have a colorful skin, and are surprisingly strong despite their apparently light build. When their brains are cold, they are considered one of the smartest species of Eldham and Rathnir. Unfortunately under hotter climates Obraldians suffer from decreased motor control, and reduced judgment skills, which means certain regions like deserts and savannas to be avoided. The average age at death is 10,000 years old, however there is no actual age limit, and any member of the species could live indefinitely.
Obraldians are found to be a mixture of 30% silicon, most of which is found in the nervous system, 65% is carbon and makes up most of the body, such as muscles and fat tissue and the other 5% may be almost any other pure or mixture of non toxic mineral, this is decided by the surrounding environment, and therefore what the mother had eaten. Most commonly are materials like Lapis, Quartz, calcium, water, amethyst, and Redstone. Some of the rarer types of Obraldian are made of forms of carbon and other rare minerals. During pregnancy, the mothers will begin to eat small amounts of rocks which offers stress relief and a feeling of safety.
Obraldians suffer greatly in hot temperatures above twenty degrees Celcius, preferring colder climates. at around forty degrees Celcius most Obraldians die. The reason for this setback is because of the partially pure silicon contained in their nervous system, which becomes inefficient at high temperatures and stops being able to perform normal functions, like controlling muscle movement. Most Obraldians can live down to temperatures of negative seventy degrees Celcius, however this is only achieved through rooms which are designed to get extremally cold.
=== Diamond Obraldians ===
Diamond Obraldians contain almost pure carbon in the form of diamond crystals. Furthermore, their silicon body mass is also purer than other member species. Diamond Obraldians can easily regulate their temperature with the will of their mind, allowing them to cool down even in hot climates, or increase their temperatures if needed. The purer silicon also means an increase in intelligence, although at normal temperatures Obraldians typically show the same level of skills, it is only when temperatures are at extremes that they are shown to be different.
All documented Diamond Obraldians have some major role in the past, with some of the most notable being the kings of massive empires containing millions of citizens. Past documents, relics, and myths show that some of these individuals are considered god-like beings with unnatural powers. Diamond Obraldians appear once every twenty thousand years but with the unfortunate fall in the number of living people, the chances of a new Diamond Obraldian being bord is considered null. 
=== Obraldian classification ===
Obraldians are categorized into 3 main groups. Each classification does not necessarily define an individuals personalities, strengths or weaknesses but is rather a way of sorting those who show such traits. This classification system was originally made by an unknown group of scientists and over the years has been changed to better suit current situations, and as such may change over time. It has been useful for managing which individuals are suited for specific jobs and roles within a society, along with medical details and even family trees, this category system is important. However it should be made clear that members of each class are not strictly confined to their class, and may even be in-between two classes.
==== Trahn ====
Trahns (pronounced Tra-hen) are the most common Obraldian type. Members of this group are more prone to becoming too hot. They are larger and stronger than the other 3 classes, however, they don't suffer in any way from intelligence under colder climates. Trhans are found to have expertise with jobs involved with 3d space and imagination, as such Trahns are more typically able to create art, designing buildings and complicated machinery. 
==== Cli'stm ====
Cli'stms (pronounced Clist-trim) tend to be small, however they are extremally intelligent and show great motor function, they show the ability of creative thoughts, and can create art and sculptures easily. Cli'stms are commonly renown for their great pieces of literature, art and poetry, or discoveries in science. Cli'stms tend to be weaker than Trahn's or Krodli, and as such do not go for violent jobs, or ones which require much strength. Cli'stm's also tend to be interested in the world around them, taking positions of scientists and explorers.
==== Krodli ====
Krodli (pronounced Krod-lee) have no apparent strengths nor weaknesses in intelligence under colder climates, they have a lack of interest in the arts or the past unless it is useful for their endeavors. Krodli show a natural talent for leadership and show great organizational skills, which they use to further progress themselves and the groups they lead. The Krodli have a good understanding for money and the economy, so they tend to be wealthy.
