Kurtherian Overview

## Kurtherians

* Natural
* Guard

## Characteristics

### Appearance

They can shed their natural bodies or any host and transfer to any biological being and in most cases they suppress their host self awareness. In a few cases they either don't suppress the host or the host is too strong and they share the host's body.

### Abilities

Powerful alien species divided. Seven clans are bent on dominating others, five clans are peaceful and chose to eradicate the capability for violence from their genome. Both sides strive to reach a higher consciousness—known as Ascension.

Bethany Anne has sworn to eradicate the Seven in order to protect Earth, and has been either hunting or fighting their puppets for over two centuries.

Once rivals even between themselves, now the Seven are united under “Gödel,” a female of previously unseen power who forced the clans to accept her rule.

The Kurtherians are manipulators of the universe and have mastered the use of the Etheric Dimension to utilize it's energy and to transfer their space ships between points, without using a gate.

They have also discovered how to transfer their bodies into new hosts, changing bodies whenever they need or want to. Generally they die if their host dies, but they also can transfer to a new host at that point. In some cases they become a symbiont and share the body with the original being, but in most cases they take complete control of the body and suppress the original being (ego?, spirit?).

## History

### Dissidents

Forty-five hundred years in the past when the Kurtherian designed the Shepheard program, a rogue group of dissidents stole a space ship and left to follow their own beliefs.  The believed that the Shepheard program was doom to fail since it was based on societal changes, this group believed that the changes had to be at the genetic level to be effective.

Lead by Chaos is in Limited Options (CILO) who gathered together 22 others that had unpopular beliefs and were ostracized by the other Kurtherians, he led them in stealing a space ship.  He also lied to them about everything.  Lilith realized that CILO was making genetic changes beyond what the group had decided was acceptable. She confronted him in private, telling him that she was going to tell the rest of the group, he stunned her with one of his neural disrupters that were far more dangerous than he had let on.  She was out for awhile and when she came to realized that her brain had been removed and placed as the core in the computer.  He had also put programming locks around her so that she was unable to tell anyone what he had done to her and he told the rest that she had requested cryogenic sleep.  Her specialty was genetics so she did a lot of the design work on creating some of the alterations of the beings they experimented on.

Of the original crew of twenty-three, three of their members each left when they encountered a planet with a people that interested them for one reason or another and they wished to stay behind.

They visited a total of 29 planets before losing their power source and crashing on Earth.  At the time they left the Kurtherian home world, genetic changes were done by viral insertion in their experiments.  The fifteenth planet they visited was using nanotechnology and they quickly adapted that as their insertion method for the genetic changes.

About five hundred years after this group departed the Kurtherians stopped using cryogenic pods for traveling and instead used the Etheric Dimension to reach where they wanted to go, a much faster method that didn’t require the pods.

When they arrived on Earth, about 800 years ago, there CILO was the only one to survived the crash, because he wrapped himself and certain areas of the ship in Etheric Energy, thus shielding it during the crash.  All others died during or due to the crash landing.  Once CILO was set up and started his experiments again, he discovered that some of the humans had already been changed via nanotechnology.

When TOM and ADAM were going through the information that the Russian Kurtherian computer had provided them on how they came to be, they realized that some data was redacted.  When they realized that selective info was missing, they came to understand that computer was sentient and believed that it was Kurtherian brain imbedded in the computer, not an artificial EI or AI.  This concept appalled TOM, not because it was unheard of, but because all of the original personality and knowledge was left intact.

The computer was asked if CILO had been able to build the Medical Pod, which looked somewhat similar to TOM’s, but bulkier and cruder, the computer entity replied no.  That 'Laughter Brings Meaning to Life' was the one that designed and build it with the help of several others.  She is one of the members that staid on another planet and may still be alive.

## Culture / Society

The Kurtherians are an Alien Race with very advanced technology compared to other races. There are 12 clans but they are divided in their beliefs.

Five of the clans banded together to repair the damage that the other 7 have done. The seven clans feel that they are superior and have the right to do whatever they want. They modify the genetics of a sentient species and keep modifying them until they have created what they think of as the perfect species. Eventually the 7 clans decided to use the peoples that they have modified to war and subjugate the unmodified species.

The members of the *Essiehkor* clan set out to find other species and to enhance them so they could protect themselves against the 7.

At least 3 different Kurtherians came to earth and created the Wechselbalg and the Vampires for different reasons depending on which clan they came from.

#### The Five

* Essiehkor (TOM) - Created Vampires. According to Yin and Yang, believed to be destroyed until they met BA. Planet Mallifrax-8, originally known to the ancients as Gaumix is formerly home to the Essiehkor Kurtherian tribe, long before they evolved and became the race we know of today.
* Azzhur - either one of the Five or something older, builders of the temple Gödel operated out of.

#### The Seven

* Phraim-'Eh (Leath gods) - Extremely systematic and organized.(Wiped out by Gödel(using BA) to enable her rise to power.) *Need references or explanation.*
* Tre'Learth (Yin and Yang, gods of The Sacred Clan) - Creates shapeshiftersZebulone
* Judkah - "worked with" the Bakas
* Reben - Supersoldiers, infesting a representative of the species to lead them. Braggarts
* M'nassa(King Yoll) - Supersoldiers, infesting a representative of the species to lead them.
* T'sehmion
