Lykasteri

## History

Lykasteri (Lie-kah-stare-ee) are a highly intelligent, sentient race, similar to that of humans’. They evolved from a species belonging to class mammalia. While not much is currently known about this period through their ancestry, it is speculated that they were land dwellers who were strictly confined to the Northraine Islands. After years of building their civilization, the Northraine islands were littered with numerous clay huts and dirt roads. Beginning to run out of room on their islands, they’d craft large boats to sail to the nearby mainland, paving the way for the Lykasteri civilization(s) we see today.

### Current

In current day, the Lykasteri have a very advanced civilization; bustling cities and technologically impressive inventions are a main stay of the Lykasteri. They’re currently split up amongst three of the four continents on planet Moezann. The 4th continent, known as Frngvir, (Fern-guh-veer) is said to be the most dangerous of the four continents and is the only continent that is widely unexplored. As of today, Lykasteri are the only fully advanced civilization on their planet, being far more intelligent than any other known species residing on Moezann. (edited)

### Clothing

Lykasteri fashion has evolved dramatically throughout their history, below is a short list of the popular fashion trends from 1900 to the current day. Every period’s fashion was diverse and unique, this list will not demonstrate every form of fashion but only the most popular. 1900: Large, poofy dresses and suits with lots of lace. This period is considered the golden age of fashion, with many 1920: Larger clothing was moving out of fashion, with new technological advancements requiring smaller clothing due to space constraints. Laced dress shirts, thin skirts and pants were moving into fashion for both men and women. 1940: Small skirts and tank tops with thin jackets and feathered hats were popular for women during this era. Men would wear dress shirts and long pants. Mass production of clothing had just started up with numerous brands beginning to gain attention. 1960: Color was gradually coming into style, with bright neon colors and pastels coming into fashion. 1980: Bright, floral patterns were fashionable. Sweaters and thicker jackets were popular amongst both men and women during this time. 2000: shorts and long stockings were popular amongst women, along with tank tops and leather jackets. Men would wear baggy jeans and thick jackets, with colorful scarves being popular. Current Fashions: In current day, fashion has advanced a far bit in the past 20 years. Cybernetic styled outfits are wildly popular, with bright accents and white and black being common main colors. Dresses and skirts are back in style, taking on a more thinner shape with mermaid tail dresses being very popular amongst women attending formal events.

### Ancestry

Lykasteri’s ancestry goes back millions of years. It’s believed they’ve evolved from a small, land dwelling mammal. This old species that evolved into the Lykasteri, commonly called Vetunate, has only been found four times throughout Lykasteri’s archaeological history. Vetunate were described as small ground dwellers covered in fur, with long back legs similar to a frog, sharp front claws, and a hard crystal on its head much like Lykasteri today. However, now that more Vetunate bones have been discovered, scientists are beginning to question this original model. An entire Vetunate skeleton has not yet been discovered, however full skeletons of ancient Lykasteri further in the evolutionary process have been discovered and scientists believe they can confidently say that the Vetunate is an ancient ancestor of the Lykasteri.

## Lifestyle

### Housing

Lykasteri housing has advanced a far bit since the days of clay huts. Current Lykasteri housing siding is made out of multiple kinds of strong metals and rocks to protect from various kinds of weather. The typical home has two to three stories. They’re broken up by rooms, each room being completely separate from one another. Covered bridges connect each room pod, bridges typically have glass ceilings and windows stretching their way across the entire bridge. Homes have become riddled with technology, with automatic: lighting, fire, water, heating, and cooling. Stairs can be stored in the wall for space and can be automatically moved back into place with the press of a button. Humidity levels can be controlled by a panel typically near the front house, and trash is disposed of through small shoots found in homes, safety features being added in place to protect home residents.

### Transportation

Lykasteri transportation is very diverse, being able to move through many kinds of terrain relatively safely and comfortably. This list will go through some of the more prominent kinds of transportation used by every Lykasteri nation. … Private Transportation: Lykasteri have individual cars, able to seat up to 8 people maximum, at a government issued limit of 4. As with majority of their transportation, Lykasteri cars hover above the ground. Using small jets and specialized magnets, their cars can hover about a foot above the ground. Public Transportation: Much like their cars, Lykasteri trains hover above their tracks using specialized magnets. However, these trains lack the jets the Lykasteri’s cars do, this is due to the fact that the tracks in which their trains glide along are equipped with built in magnets allowing for the train to hover and thrust itself forwards safely. Flight: Lykasteri planes work very similarly to human ones, using jets to propel them into the air. Each plane is equipped with a navigation system, a control panel, and retractable wheels for safe landing. Ships: Lykasteri ships glide across the water using large fins and propellers. Typically their larger ships will have two to three stories, able to seat around 100 people. Ships are the most popular way for Lykasteri to move from one continent to another.

### Cuisine

Lykasteri cuisine consists of lots of seafood, vegetables, insects, and fruits. For a long time, it was believed that eating the meat from a mammal would corrupt one and cause one’s offspring to be born a demon. While these beliefs are no longer held by any Lykasteri civilization, majority of their traditional dishes do not contain any kinds of meat from a mammal due to this superstition.

## Appearance

Lykasteri have crystal noses as well as 4 claws on each hand and 3 on each foot. While they do have paw pads, the shape of their feet mimics that of an elephant more than any pawed creature. Their crystal noses are extremely hard, however they do not chip. Instead, their noses can bend out of shape, and a simple surgery is required to correct it. [A Lykasteri’s nose bending out of shape is extremely uncommon] This is a brief description of their appearance, more can be gathered through this examples below:

### Types

There are two natural types of Lykasteri, these being: The Northern Lykasteris, these will be the least common ones you see with typically larger faces and lots of fluffy fur. The Southern Lykasteris, these Lykasteri are the most common ones you will see. Their fur is commonly described as similar to a piñata, having it cut in segments of fluff. However, some Southern Lykasteri have no hair at all!

### Planet

The Lykasteri’s planet is called Moezann. Moezann is dense with foliage in around 60% of the planet’s continents. There’s 4 main continents in Moezann, but the planet is littered with thousands of islands which contain numerous cities. There’s many creatures which reside in Moezann, here are 6 creatures which are often times farmed or reside near Lykasteri communities. All of these species are very common and some are even domesticated:
