Zamaranians

== Appearance ==
Zamaranians are humanoid in appearance, but are recognizable due to their characteristic orange-toned skin, red/orange hair and green eyes, which are common among their race. Although rare, individuals can be born with different colored eyes and darker hair.
==Biology==
Zamaraneans are golden-skinned humanoid people who descended from a feline-like race. They have the power to convert ultraviolet radiation into energy for flight with the females producing a distinctive contrail that seems to flow from their hair. Their eyes are green with the corneas a light green, but there are unique mutations of the red hair and green eyes. For example, Komi has violet eyes and lavender corneas, along with dark purple hair. Another is Rizer T'ntz, who has fiery yellow hair with topaz eyes and yellow corneas.
Zamaraneans have five or six stomachs and are known to consume food that most Humans would find unappealing. They also seem to have the ability to learn new languages instantly by means of "lip contact" (kissing). As they mature, young Zamaraneans experience a phase of "transformation", in which in some cases they may undergo temporary physiological oddities and enter a chrysalis stage, or in Komi's case, she turned purple for a week. The Cironielian Chrysalis Eater is a natural predator of the species during this stage. 
Both sisters, Kori and Komi, gained the ability to fire "starbolts", beams of energy, as a result of experiments performed by the Creators. It is unknown if the other species are able to do that without experimentation.
Physically, they are similar to humans, minus the extra stomachs, powers, and the orange skin color tone. Kori had stated that Zamaranian Reproductive Systems are quite similar to humans, based on when she tried to mate her body with Isaac's as a form of compensation for everything that he had done for her or to procreate to keep her species alive.
==Culture==
Zamaranians traditionally worship the goddess X'Hal. They are ruled by their emotions and were renowned as excellent warriors. Zamaranians believe in the value of friendship. Friendship is honored in the Blorthog festival in which friends exchange gifts. They fear the Rekmas, the point at which friends begin drifting apart. 
The Zamaranians are a passionate people driven more by emotion than reason. While they are unusually fierce warriors, their capacity for love is even greater than their capacity for hate; as a result, war and strife were for many centuries long forgotten on Zamaron. Instead, the people channeled their energies into creating a tropical utopia, a paradise where they could live in harmony with the wildlife and where battle skills were maintained largely for ceremony's sake. 
It's also said they do not to believe emotions are a part of the sexual experience, recreational or reproduction wise. As their species are living solar batteries, they wear little to no clothing, and as times, have no modesty or qualms of being completely in the nude and not be bothered by it, which is shown when Kori is fully naked in front of an embarrassed Isaac.
=== Marriage ===
Marriages among the citizens are apparently arranged, though this may simply be the case only for Zamaranian royalty and the noble classes. Though arranged marriages can be trialed and cancelled due to trial by combat, of which Isaac participates against Rizer to win Kori's freedom from such arranged marriage.
=== Religions/Legends ===
They worship the Goddess X'Hal, who basically are the physical forms of the three suns that circle their homeworld. One of their artifacts is known as the Sunbreaker: A war-hammer that is known to carry intense gravitational destruction and light as powerful as their three suns combine. Whoever wields it will be blessed by X'Hal to bring the Zamaranians peace and prosperity.
=== Outfits ===
The Zamaranians, due to their physiology, wear little to nothing. But they do wear Greek-like clothing. Military, they wear something similar to spandex that shows off their arms, thighs, and mid-sections. Occasionally, they wear black solar-absorbing armor and spandex when needing to fully cover up.
==Powers/Abilities==
Zamaranians are extremely powerful humanoid beings.  Fueled by the sunlight of their three suns or suns of any world they visit, they are capable of amazing feats.
*Solar/Ultraviolet Metabolization: Zamaranians can absorb and process stellar radiation, which provides them with incredible strength and vitality.
**Superhuman Strength
**Superhuman Agility
**Superhuman Reflexes
**Enhanced Stamina
**Superhuman Condition
**Superhuman Endurance
**Nigh-Invulnerability: Zamaranians are incredibly robust to all known forms of injury and abrasion. Being able to survive in the cold vacuous expanse of deep space, resist the intense surface heat of stars and traversal within reach of a Black Hole's event horizon with little irritation.
**Thermal and Radiation Immunity: Even when de-powered, Kori felt little to no distress when reaching a nearby sun to restore herself.
*Accelerated healing factor:  Although not fast regenerating, they are capable of healing faster than a human, often recovering quicker.  This also makes them a bit more durable
*Flight:The absorption of stellar energy also enables Zamaranians to defy gravity and fly without the need of artificial enhancements.
*Linguistic Assimilation (via lip contact):  It may actually be their strangest ability, if not controversial ability.  They are able to learn to write, speak, and know of any language through lip contact.  In other words, through a kiss.
*Tolerance to extreme environmental conditions
*Extended Longevity; capable of living for hundreds of years and have a slowed aging process.  This may be possible due to the energy they gain as being living solar batteries.
===Artificially-Enhanced/Gained Abilities===
Through experimentation by the Creators as well as their progidies, the Psions, and tampering of DNA, some Zamaranians have gained the following:
*UV Energy Manipulation: Zameranians can consciously control the rate of Stellar Radiation intake in order to siphon power from other sources. They can also utilize it to manipulate their assimilated energies into various shapes and forms for practical usage.
**Starbolt Projection: A couple Zamaranians are capable of emitting focused solar energy from their hands as concussive energy blasts carrying great destructive force.
**Stellar Construct Creation: A skill rarely displayed lies in the ability to shape and reform starbolt energy bursts into shielding or force bubbles to carry things around in.
**Stellar Energy Vision: Certain members of the race can project and emit their stellar energy from their eyes with incredibly destructive force.
**Molecular Acceleration: Skilled use of starbolt optic blasts can be used to cause the terrain surrounding a target to violently explode.
**Stellar Energy Transference: Zamaranians can also distill and impart their solar energies onto others if need be.
**Heat Touch: Zamarenians can focus their starbolt energy into their hands and skin, being able to hyper-heat the dermal layer of their body in order to flash melt anything they make contact with.
**Self-Sustenance: A Zamaranian with enough solar energy charge can go without eating, sleeping, or needing to breath in lifeless and inhospitable environments.
===Weaknesses===
*Metallic Chromium Allergen:  Some may be allergic to metallic chromium.
*Vulnerability:  Despite being stronger and able to heal faster, they are not in effect invulnerable.  If their head and hearts are destroyed, they will die.  They are also not immune to the Black Ooze the Creators made to create the Xenecromorphs.
*Mind Control/Mental Alterations:  The Zamaranians are not able to fight against psychic attacks or being controlled mentally.  This has sown, that they are also not immune to the Monoliths and can be susceptible to the madness it generates toa effect them.
*Prejudice and Racism:  Because of their culture, they are susceptible to racism and prejudice, often being called as Troq, which means worthless.  Though they are not above being prejudice against their cousin race, the Revani due to how they survived during the Gurdanian Wars against their foe, the Gurdanians.
