The Saraph are the fourth race created by Humans to be the substitute for Human life on Demet. Their designer was Ikari Motto.

They seemed to be at the same level of human behavior and intelligence as Une were, until they murdered the Humans and Unem men that hadn't moved off of the downed ship at the time and impregnated the Unem women, killing them once they gave birth.

Their DNA is almost always dominant over the other races of Demet, containing an unrecognized .5% makeup that basically overwrites other genetic data. This results in interracial couples with 1 Saraph partner nearly always producing a Saraph child.

For whatever reason, the Saraph were made to have two pairs of wings. One large pair in the middle of the back and a small pair near the base of the spine.

Their name is a variation of Seraph, the highest form of angel. These people are anything but angels, believing it is their purpose to wipe out any other species on the planet, the only reason they didn't leave the planet.

Aside from the obvious physical differences, they seem to resemble Ald facial appearance the most, having slightly larger and more rounded bioluminescent eyes. This was most likely caused by the extra .5% native Demetian DNA. Their skin tends to be extremely pale and their hair grows stark white or off-white. Their ears grow long and flexible, hanging near their jaw. And finally the bridge of their nose is slightly lower.

They also stop their growth extremely quickly. When females are compared to Ald females, who stop growing at the same age, are physically younger than Ald.

Ald females stop their growth at 15 years, or 16 years 2 months Earth time. At that point, they are physically 15 and a half. Saraph only grow to be physically 14 or so. Males usually completely lack facial hair as well.

However this can be reversed. Most members of the war caste and slave castes grow bigger, faster. Becoming massive individuals averaging 6 feet tall, and 5 foot 8 for women.

They live in most places, being the true dominant race of the planet. Every territory flies a single banner, calling themselves the Eastern Dominion.

## Divergence

At some point midway in their history, children were being born without the compulsion to commit genocide, usually with cool eye colors like blue, green and purple as opposed to orange, red and yellow, and only one set of wings on their upper backs.

These people were also of more dominant DNA than the rest of the race, quickly taking over the population. Several thousand of them were shipped south away from the Eastern Dominion and away from the rest, fearing being phased out of existence.

The south half of the planet was mostly desert, and their custom DNA strands changed them to a dark haired, dark skinned people who could live in the heat. No matter how far north they migrated, this physical appearance never went away.

During this event, two distinct cousin species arose. The original Saraph now called themselves Mortesaraph, or Death Angels. Crippling and setting adrift any who showed tendencies of becoming like the others.

The others chose a name that directly opposed the Mortesaraph. Vetasaraph, or Life Angels. They had human curiosity and sense of adventure, seeking new forms of life. Eventually they came across the Ald in their journeys east, integrating Ald magic into their bodies. Their custom DNA keept genetic data from the Ald.
