Acceliculus

Acceliculus, or the plural term Acceliculi, are a humanoid rabbit-like species from a forest-terrain planet known as Cotonetica. There are five different subspecies or tribes of the Acceliculi in the known universe which can be identified by their fur and size types. 
== Biology and Appearance ==
Four of the tribes can be identified by a combination of categories that are known as their fur types: Full & Thin, and size types: Dwarf & Giant. The only Subspecies that does not fall into either category are the rare fifth subspecies known as the Mydst.
=== Full Dwarves ===
This subspecies appear to be humanoid rabbits with their bodies being covered in a thin fur with only a few parts having thick tuffs of fur, such as their elbows, thighs and shoulders. Their eyes are various tints of red, but some have a rare blue, with their sclera being a lighter tint of that color. Their feet possess only three toes while the feet can stretch out to be hind-like which enables them to jump higher and run faster than most life forms. 
=== Thin Dwarves ===
Unlike the Full Dwarves, this subspecies appear like humans with rabbit ears and tails. Their bodies are not covered in a thin fur over their skin with only the thick tuffs of fur hair on their head and neither regions. Their eyes are various tints of blue, but some have a rare yellow, with their sclera being a lighter tints of that color. Their feet possess five toes while and they too can stretch their feet out to be hind-like which enables them to jump higher and run faster than most life forms, other than the Full Dwarves. 
The common thing between the Full Dwarves and the Thin Dwarves are that Dwarves have bodies resemble that of early teens or preteen humans with childlike or petite body shapes of most other species that range from 4.2 to 5 feet as Adults. These bodies are ideally suited to speeding or running to prevent wind drag following the flight option of ‘flight or fight’ Response.
=== Full Giants ===
Like the Full Dwarves, this subspecies appear to be a humanoid rabbit with the thin fur over their bodies with the thick tuffs of fur on very parts of their bodies. Their eyes consists of various shades of the color red in their eyes, as well as the rare blue color with their sclera being the lighter tint of that color. They also share the same number of toes on their feet as the Full Dwarves do. However, unlike the Full Dwarves, the Full Giants cannot stretch their legs and have to rely on the muscle strength in their legs to jump higher or run faster than most species, second to the Dwarves.
=== Thin Giants ===
Like the Thin Dwarves, this subspecies appear like humans with rabbit ears and tails. Their bodies are not covered in a thin fur over their skin with only the thick tuffs of fur hair on their head and neither regions. Their eyes consist of the various shades of the color blue in their eyes, as well as the rare yellow color with their sclera being the lighter tint of that color. They also share the same number of toes on their feet as the Thin Dwarves do. However, unlike the Thin Dwarves, the Thin Giants cannot stretch their legs and have to rely on the muscle strength in their legs to jump higher or run faster than most species in the universe, second to the Dwarves.
The common thing between the Full Giants and the Thin Giants are that the Giants have bodies resemble that of adult humans with body shapes of slender, full body, athletic, muscular, and hourglass (Depending on gender) that range from 5.2 to 6 feet as Adults. Their bodies are ideal for fighting or out maneuvering their opponents following the ‘fight’ option of the ‘flight or fight’ response.
=== Mydst ===
The Mydst sub species are the rarest of all four and are in the middle of the group as their name suggests. They appear to be in the middle ground between rabbit and human. They lack the tuffs of fur on their bodies while their natural dark skin deceptively looks similar to the skin-like fur. Their hair color is always white, they have longer limbs than humans. Their eye colors consists of various shades and tints of green, as well as the rare red where the sclera is a lighter tint of that color. They have four toes on their feet and their feet are shaped pointedly (Like their feet are in a permanent high heel position). To keep their balance with the pointed shape of their feet, they wear metal stiletto under their heels. When they reach adulthood their finger nails grow to 3 inches long.
All Mydst have bodies that resemble late teens to adults with body shapes of slender, slim, and hourglass. Their limbs are longer which makes them (with how long their ears are) the tallest of the sub-species going from 6.4 to 7.5 feet in height. They have the option of either fight or flight options. 
All of the subspecies have a cotton tail at the base of their tail bone, and have a pair of rabbit ear-like sensors; for females, the ears are located on top of their heads while males have them on the sides.
Acceliculi are considered Herbivores but can eat synthetic meats like Tofu or Bean burgers.
Their reproductive systems are similar to humans, making them very compatible. Their sexual drive is similar to rabbits as well.
The birthrate depends on their partner as shown below:
* Acceliculus Dwarf + Acceliculus Dwarf = 10 - 20 children
* Acceliculus Dwarf + Acceliculus Giant = 10 - 15 children
* Acceliculus Giant + Acceliculus Giant = 5 - 15 children
* Acceliculus Dwarf + Acceliculus Mydst = 3 - 5 children
* Acceliculus Giant + Acceliculus Mydst = 2 - 4 children
* Acceliculus Mydst + Acceliculus Mydst = 1 - 3 children
* Acceliculi + other species = Uncertain
== Behavior and Culture ==
The Acceliculi race are a sentient species that are a nomadic kind of people, as when one clan settles down, another sets out to go build another colony. How they are depends on the subspecies/tribe group that they belong to. However, they are all practitioners of shamanism which their ceremonial masks allows them to channel the spirits of their ancestors to assist them. The rarity of their race can hear the voice of the planet they are on and perceive something that other species cannot. Some can even channel that spiritual energy and allow them to take on forms of their pre-evolved ancestors.
=== Dwarves ===
The Acceliculus Dwarves are a peaceful subspecies/tribes of herbivores that specialize in gardening and farming. It is said they produce the best produce in the Alliance and many seek out their vegetables like gold. They often have masks to help them see when going super-fast.
Though because of their peaceful nature, they are easily taken advantage of as they would rather run than fight. Because of it, they are easily enslaved as delivery people. But due to their petite frames, they are also ideal pleasure slaves due to that and their powerful sex drives.
Due to their speedy nature, they act without thinking.
=== Giants ===
The Acceliculus Giants are a confrontational subspecies/tribes who take pride in their larger bodies and ability to fight. Like the others of their race they are herbivores as well and are often the local defense force and army of their tribes and the Dwarves living with them. The Giants are the ones who wear the most clothes and armor than all of the Acceliculi sub-species. Much like the Dwarves they wear masks that allow them to not lose focus in the middle of the fight.
Because of their aggressive nature, they are often the first on the scene when a fight happens, especially when the Dwarves with them are in danger of being taken by slavers. If they were to face such a risk they are trained as children to fight against their captors and return. Even though it is risky there have been Acceliculus Giants who have been made into slaves (Though not as many as the Dwarves) for those who like their mature figures and most noticeable measurements especially with how their sex drives make them.
Due to their confrontational nature, they tend to jump to conclusions.
=== Mydsts ===
The Acceliculus Mydsts are the voice of caution and wisdom for the members of their tribes who always listen. Their strength is not the fact they are able to defend themselves as the Giants can but due to the fact that their connection to the spirits are so strong they can hear the voice of the cosmos around them which allows them to perceive any visions or warnings of threats. They can even call on the spirits native to the planet to aid them in a crisis. Due to the importance of their shamanic ways they often wear the least amount of clothes and people say that their outfits that are often seen as lingerie or skimpy attire. Having their finger nails grown 3 inches long means that that Mydst is an adult in their eyes. The other tribes seem protective and revere the Mydst due to their longevity compared to the other subspecies. The Mydst are strictly matriarchal in leadership as their representatives in the Clan's leader council are always females.
Because of their rarity they are highly sought after by slavers, however, no recorded mentions any Mydst being taken by slavers before in history of the Alliance or the known universe. They are known throughout the known universe for their very accurate senses and some even believe that if they find something dangerous it is because it is. They always make sure that the planet they are on are safe for their tribe by listening to the voice of the planet. Should there be something dangerous like a monolith then the tribe will heed their advice and not land on the planet or planetoid with a Monolith on it, there is even whispers that they can sense whose spirit has been corrupted by the monoliths. Despite being reserved and steadfast the Mydst can go into a berserk state, referred to as “Mydst Frenzy” should they sense and be exposed to a high concentration negative energy from a place that made the spirits suffer greatly in life or from a Monolith.
Because of their steadfast and reserved personality they are often mistaken for not having emotions or never getting too emotional, which allow them to live three times the lifespan of a human or Xandarian.  
During their mating seasons, they only have eyes for the one they wish to mate with, and become rather submissive to it (Though the Giants play it off with their tough attitudes, when they give in they become very playful and affectionate to their partners. The Mydsts are often hiding these to keep their minds clear and ears uncovered only mating for the one whom they are destined for).
Acceluculus Dwarves and Giants enjoy sports, and have built large stadiums to this effect. One such sport is similar to the human sport hockey, with energy pellets made from the planet's natural electrical storms. Another sport is similar to the human sport soccer, with the ball charging up by kinetic energy from every kick, adding a bit of a boost when hitting it into a goal.
An Acceluculi rite of passage is "The Running of the Gauntlet" in which a young Acceluculus, overseen by a Mydst elder, must acquire the species' characteristic mask from their home world’s wilderness.
For those taken by slavers and turned them into what the Acceliculi call “Lops”, the Giants who feel responsible for losing those taken would go out into the universe to try and find them, often becoming a mercenary to keep their clan safe from their actions.
Despite the the usual mixture of each subspecies/tribes in one clan there have been reports of there being clans solely made up of entirely one or two subspecies/tribes of the same size type for reasons that they do not usually discuss with people of other races.
== Powers and Abilities ==
Acceluculi one of the fastest beings in the universe, with the Dwarves being able to reach speeds of more than 500 miles per hour, while the Giants reach 300 miles per hour, and the Mydsts reach 100 miles per hour. This extreme speed mostly comes from manipulating friction, enabling the Dwarves to run up walls with their manipulating friction. They can accelerate so quickly that time appears to completely halt to them. The Giants are also able to lift weights 150 times their body weight due to their large builds and the energy their muscles store from their running. While Giants cannot run up walls as their Dwarf cousins, they can use their leg muscles to jump against the walls quickly. The way the Mydsts are able to run fast and jump high, by using their shamanistic abilities to request the spirits of air to help them.
The Dwarves can make their feet elongate and shrink back, enabling them to walk normally when needed, or when needing to jump and run, they elongate.
Due to their powerful legs (despite the dwarves having petite legs) and dexterous feet, the Acceluculi are able to jump extremely long distances. Their legs and feet can also kick with considerable force, making them offensive weapons in close-quarters, especially the Giants.
They are also powerful enough to crack concrete and bend steel. During the Mydst Frenzy a single Mydst are able to break through metal and kill approximately a large battalion of fully armored soldiers. The speed is so intense and their legs so powerful, they can fire themselves like cannonballs, able to break down a steel door. 
Due to the Fulls’ fur evolving to match with their speed, it has become something of a thin coat of Kevlar, meaning they're durable enough to survive smash impact. The Giants are able to use the thick tuffs of fur on their bodies to make bladed weapons that can cut through most materials.
The Acceliculi can propel themselves forward by pushing off walls, effectively jumping off walls. They are also quite agile able to move away from danger.
The tuffs of fur on their forearms can grow out to become blades, using them for defensive and offensive purposes, as well as to dig into hard surfaces, allowing them to scale walls and other tall structures with that and their leaping.
Those of the Acceliculi race can perform shamanistic abilities they are able to use their masks to no just keep see while running fast or be more aware of their surroundings, there are a few who can also use them to channel the spiritual energy of their ancestors to take one form of their pre-evolved ancestors as two types of Channels. Full Channels take on forms of Bipedal rabbits with their armor or loose clothing on their bodies, their fur becomes thicker allowing them to be protected better than before. Thin Channels take on forms similar to their previous forms but the bottom half of their bodies from the waist down to their feet and forearms resemble their pre-evolved ancestors, the fur on these body parts and their ears are thicker than normally. Because of how their forearms look like legs of a rabbit the Channel warriors must use the thick tuffs of fur on their bodies to defend themselves
The Mydsts do not need ceremonial masks to perform their shamanistic abilities as they are naturally connected to the spirits, they speak in an ancient dialect to speak to the spirits and can use it to heal, scry, offensively, defensively, and even summon spirits into tangible forms to help fight alongside, protect others, or anything the Mydst who summoned them commands.
=== Weakness ===
The Acceluculi cannot run on non-solid ground like mud and especially ice, as they have has poor control over the latter. (Though with the Stilettos and footwear it is believed that Mydsts would not have trouble with ice)
An Acceluculus' speed can be used to an opponent's advantage, as shown when Shia was left badly stunned when she ran into Cull Dwarf's outstretched arm.
They are unable to avoid multiple objects being thrown at them all at once.
They are vulnerable to be knocked out by a sonic cannon blast, due to their hearing.
Both types of Giants and Dwarves are vulnerable to telekinetic or telepathic abilities. The Mydsts not so much.
The Mydsts’ sensitivity to spiritual energy while under the Mydst frenzy will allow them to lose sight of their surroundings and become careless. 
The Dwarves’ peaceful nature leaves them unable to defend for themselves, making them quite easy targets. If it wasn’t for the Giant subspecies/tribes guarding and the Mydsts guiding then that could have one day led them into extinction.
