Avaata

The Avaata (Homo Parastelsus) are an alien race that lives on Planet Avaa.

## History

Known Avaata history only goes back a generation, when Emperor Aega joined the North Galaxy Union, the queen of which was Rang Nebila. After losing in the competition, Lord Wars, hosted by the queen enough times, she lifted her protection over the planet, which enraged Aega to the point of assaulting her, which resulted in his swift demise. Princess Legume, who watched the whole exchange, vowed to get revenge for her father and the planet.

After winning a ceremonial competition against her brother, Tahino, Legume was crowned the new Empress of the planet. She declared war on the North Galaxy Union, and was backed by Lord Darios, who told Legume that he would work as a double agent and destroy the Union from the inside. After three battles with the opposing army, Darios revealed he was double crossing both parties and tried to rule the galaxy himself, causing the war to be put on hold in order to stop him. After the new battle was won, Rang Nebila agreed to a peace treaty with Avaata that would abolish the Lord Wars competition and welcome Avaa and other planets who's protections were lifted back into the Union.

From the war onward, Avaa would continue to grow and develop, moving from a society based on strength to a society based on personality. A shocking development occured, however, when the first mutant Avaata in history would be born, having powers over electricity instead of one of the four elements. This has since been the only example of mutantism in Avaatas.

## Physiology

### Appearance

The Avaata race are humanoid creatures with purple skin and orange hair. The females are typically taller than the males (with exceptions) but the average heights of them are comparable to humans despite this. They typically wear very tribal clothing due to being a fairly undeveloped race.

### Abilities

Avaatas are gifted from birth with control over one of the four elements (Earth, Fire, Water, Air). The abilities they gain from the element are random, but they can be deciphered by the time an Avaata is 5-12. The powers range from massive advantages in combat to little micro-abilities that would simply help with a day-to-day lifestyle. After enough training with your power, or after a large emotional event, a transformation known as the Awakened State can be unlocked, which can amplify your power by altering your body in a number of different ways. Examples of this have been Legume opening up pores in her body to allow wind to flow through her, making her faster and more aerodynamic, and Stachio who could convert parts of his body into smoke and flame.

## Home Planet

Planet Avaata is a small Earth-like planet that is mostly savannah due to their being no oceans on the planet, only several thousand individual lakes and rivers. The people tend to live in tents, but buildings are made for public things like restaurants and government facilities.
