Kilkenni

### Inhabited Planets

Planet Sphynx, Planet Earth, Planet Freon-448, Planet Freon-753, (other colonies)

## Biology

### Average Height/Build

Typically anywhere from 6 - 9 feet tall. Most are skinny (almost like Sphynx cats).

## Brief Overview:

(see Beerus' Race on Dragon Ball wiki for more info)

The Kilkenni (namesake; Kilkenny Cats) are a race of humanoid cat-like beings. They typically have a skinny frame, covered in short fur ranging in various shades of purple. Some may have a few spots or stripes. Their eyes are yellow/orange with slit pupils. A well known characteristic they're known by, are their large pointed ears (some even being tall enough to resemble those of a rabbit). Most have long tapered tails; some Kilkenni choose to have their tails docked (as a civilization of mostly warriors, their tails are often a weakness in fights). They have two sets of sharp fangs - though their diet is omnivorous. They typically have one of the longest known lifespans in the universe, being regarded as practically immortal.... or at least not likely to die of old age alone.

Despite their tendencies to live in small nomadic tribes (which war often), they are a highly intelligent civilization. The Kilkenni have achieved space travel, but rarely are seen leaving their own solar system.

## Specific Abilities:

### RA Form:

(inspired by Egyptian god Ra)

In this transformation, a concentration of a Kilkenni's ki manifests above their head as a small orange-red disk much like a flattened star. The ki disk can either suck the heat out of the surrounding atmosphere (temperatures drop) to gather more energy, or heat up the atmosphere by leaking ki (tends to happen more if the Kilkenni doesn't have complete control of their RA form, or has sucked in too much energy). Their fur turns white (any spots/stripes turn gray) and grows longer in some parts (like Whirus fusion - see Dragon Ball wiki for info), and they're surrounded by a faint aura of orange ki.

The Kilkenni's power is at least doubled in this form. By concentration, they can fire ki blasts from the disk above their head, as well as 'scoop' balls of ki out of their disk to throw like explosive baseballs.

### RA2 Form:

Same, but their fur grows longer, the ki disk turns blue, and their aura becomes a light blue. This form is accomplished after the ki disk sucks a great amount of energy out of the surrounding atmosphere (so, typically everything around them drops to below zero - freezing mostly everything).

Their base power is at least tripled in this form. The disk can be rotated at high speeds like a rotary saw (and used for such a purpose).

### RA - Anubis State: (RAAS)

Can be achieved directly after RA or RA2. The Kilkenni's fur turns black (any spots/stripes turn gold), the disk becomes a deep red almost purple colour, and their aura turns a dark purple almost black. The aura ki becomes more dense, acting as a sort of buffer against physical attacks against the Kilkenni (e.g. a punch will hit the aura barrier before sinking through slower to the skin). So, the aura kind of absorbs the shockwave from a physical attack hitting it, and the kinetic energy is collected by the ki disk.

A special move accessible in this form, is the 'Eye of Horus'; it's a bright flash of light that blinds anyone nearby, and sets surfaces on fire (like the ants under a microscope effect). It takes a few minutes to charge up (meaning no ki energy can be thrown out by the disk during this time - aura barrier is still active though).

### RA - Halve Maen: (aka, Legendary Kilkenni - RALK)

(name inspiration from the ship 'Halve Maen' aka half moon, ability inspiration from folktales of the moon stealing the sun's light)

A mysterious form of the Kilkenni, as legendary as the LSSJ, the Halve Maen is a powerful form only achieved by a few rare individuals (Legendary Kilkenni). In this form, the Kilkenni will gain fur that appears to be on fire (in various shades of the rainbow), solid black sclera (which is permanent even out of form from the 1st time the Legendary Kilkenni uses this form), and a small vortex floating directly above their head. This miniature black hole will suck in anything and everything around it, its size increasing and gravity growing stronger in correlation to the mass it takes in. Eventually the hole will be large enough that the Kilkenni can no longer control it, and it will move off into space randomly on its own accord. Once the Kilkenni's bond with the black hole has broken, it is highly likely they will be sucked into the hole themselves. This form requires so much physical and mental force, that upon use, the Kilkenni will forever be plagued with severe sleep deprivation + extreme cases of narcolepsy, oft sleeping for even years at a time.

## Known History:

The Kilkenny tend to keep to themselves, in their own solar system, but have been known to send small expeditions out into space for unknown reasons. Their home planet, Sphynx, is covered by a hologram to give the appearance of being uninhabited.

Their homeplanet is said to be Planet Sphynx, but the Kilkenni have been found inhabiting Planets Freon-448 and Freon-753 in the same solar system. When the Galactic Freon Federation (U5264 version of Frieza Force - see Dragon Ball Wiki for more info) set up colonies on Freon-753, they were cautiously approached by curious Kilkenni of nomadic tribes near their landing sites. The Freon Federation believed it impossible for the Kilkenni to be on more than one planet, seeing as they appeared to be no more technologically advanced than Earthlings (neanderthals at the time).

Colonies were established on both Freon-448 and Freon-753. Over time, the Federation made trade treaties with the Kilkenni of Freon-753. All was peaceful, until the Federation started taking Kilkenni children captive to sell off as slaves. The Federation was taken by surprise, when not only from Freon-753 but Freon-448 as well, their colonies were attacked by the Kilkenni. Shocked by their sudden disadvantage, the Federation called in one of their offworld battle fleets to threaten the Kilkenni. Again, their surprise was doubled when from a third planet previously thought uninhabited, a planet-wide hologram revealed itself to open a hole from which a massive battalion of ships rose up out of.

After a short-lived, rather one sided battle, the Federation begged for a parley. The Kilkenni agreed, and they came to an arrangement where they'd continue trade negotiations, but the Federation would no longer take their people to be sold as slaves.

At some point around 3000 BC, a Kilkenni space vessel (travelling for unknown reasons) enters Earth's solar system. They track down an old distress beacon, and find it is coming from Egypt. They land there, and embark on a search for any survivors of a crashed Tuffle ship. The crew eventually encounters a family of the Tuffle survivors, being worshiped by the Earthlings as deities. The leader of the Kilkenni crew saw all this, and decided to go back and destroy their own ship, trapping the Kilkenni on Earth with the Tuffles. Over time, they too were worshiped as deities.

In present times, it is still rare to see Kilkenni outside their own solar system. It is known that the Freon Federation has powerful allies, but the universe as a whole has never seen much of them in action. On Earth, the descendants of the Kilkenni live in secret, well hidden places in the wilderness.
