Algranian

"Violence is common for Algranians, their females in particular are always ready for a fight due to their innate rage." Selde warning to anyone dealing with Algranians.
The Algranians (pronounced Al-Grey-Nee-An) are the native DragonKin of the planet Algrania. Their average lifespan is around 1100 years for Female and around 350 for Males.
==Overview ==
The Algranian are an average sized DragonKin who possess a tail. Average height for females is around 15ft while males average only 7ft with the tallest male on record only reaching just under 8ft.
In terms of population, there are around 11 billion Algranians with a roughly 55-45 population split between Females and Males.
Algranians are famed for their personal durability that allows them to take more punishment than most other DragonKin, with even the scrawniest of their puny males being able to sustain considerably more physical abuse than an example of the noticeably larger Dragoian species of the same build.
Being physically durable, generally unintelligent looking, and having a cultural acceptance of heavy physical beatings often gives them a reputation of being dumb brutes. Despite numerous shows of intelligence to other species, this reputation persists and isn't helped by the generally more respected Selde constantly peddling these untrue depictions of the Algranians.
==Appearance==
Skin Type: Scales.
Color Range: Algranians are single tone, with their main body ranging from pale green to dark green. However their horns and tail spikes are always an identical shade of dark green.
Eyes: Algranian eye colors are commonly a shade of blue, green, grey or brown. Algranian eyes have a small iris with a slit pupil.
Heads: Algranian heads are quite narrow and have a large but narrow snout with unexposed upper teeth while the lower teeth jut out. The lower part of the Algranians head bulges out slightly to allow for a slightly wider mouth. Algranians lack ears, instead having a hole in the side of their head just in front of their horns which is used for hearing and is often obscured by hair. Algranians possess large durable horns that curve inwards and towards their snouts, these horns are considerably smaller on males.
Bodies: Algranian bodies are very similar to that of humans although lacking human genitalia and are generally more bulky, have shorter legs and have large, 3 toe feet. Algranians also possess a tail with dark green spikes running along it's upper surface. Female Algranians tend to be considerably more bulky, while Male Algranians tend to be much more slender.
Tongue: Algranians have a short, single pointed tongue.
== Reproduction ==
Algranians are Oviparous Hand-Stabber style DragonKin. The egg takes on average 6 months to hatch with a roughly 1 month period from sharing blood to laying the egg. As is normal with Oviparous DragonKin, the gender of the child is determined by who laid the egg, with males only producing male young, and females only producing female young.
Same-gender pairings are commonplace with no cultural stigmas attached to them, but the majority of the population still prefers to mate with male and female.
==Technology==
Algranian technology is not as advanced as that of the Selde, although it will easily outclass that of the Ayvoid and Drakeians. Despite this advanced technology, the Algranians normally mount melee weapons on their portable energy weapons as a backup for when the power core is empty.
Algranian starships often contain concealed weapons and other systems only useable while the ship is in a Tactical Stance, making their vessels seem weaker than they actually are to those unaware of this functionality.
==Culture ==
Algranian culture is overall very normal, although certain elements are quite violent, with female Algranians often beating their male family members if they misbehave and heavy beatings until injury being considered completely normal in Algranian society. Despite it being a common practice to beat male family members as a form of punishment, male and female Algranians have the same rights. However, due to their small size they often fare very poorly in the military.
Unusually for a DragonKin species, the Algranians have a democratic political system that is in full control of civilian life, but has no control over the military which is effectively it's own entity with the sole goal of protecting and expanding Algranian interests.
The Algranians maintain contact with few human species, and a few DragonKin species, such as the Selde and Sealachans.
The Algranians and the Selde despise each other and the small area of dead space between their own areas of space is imposed by the Sealachans and the Shadraxians to stop the two species from going into full blown war.
The Algranian Military has almost no role in daily Algranian life, apart from having stationed troops in bases on all Algranian worlds and having it's fleet defending them. Wars are started and ended at the military's discretion, with minor wars often going completely unknown by the general Algranian populace and politicians.
== Extinction==
By the end of 2031, due to the final battle of Selde-Algranian War, the Algranians were all but extinct and considered a critically endangered sentient species, with less than 500 million survivors spread across their few surviving colonies and those rescued from Algrania by the Sealachans.
