Zuborgo

The Zuborgo is a race of biologically and genetically-enhanced transhuman people that also have psychic abilities. They are one of two dominate species of one of the moons, Sukara. Unlike the Yiklos of the Saloria Republic, they are a more spiritualistic race that believe in altering themselves through genetic modifications and biological augmentations.

## Physiology & Abilities

The majority of the Zuborgo appear human at first but many parts of their bodies have an amphibian-like skin that range from teal to dark green with a few black splotches on their back. However, in more drier regions, some have skin similar to reptiles with males having ridges on their heads. Yet no matter the differences, they all have green colored eyes with black slit pupils. They can change their appearance pending on which gods or gods they worship such as having feathers, horns or whatever else.

Some of the Zuborgo have special implants that are organic in nature and can be passed down from parent to child in order to survive in the Poseidon Galaxy. These include the Silog Gland, which allows them to develop gills when underwater. The Numanos Liver is a type of liver that completely removes all toxins from the body and allows the Zuborgo to develop venomous claws or fangs pending on the circulatory system. There are more, but it is hard to keep track since many changes pending on the environment. When in space, however, their bodies can go into a state of suspended animation by being in fetal position with their skin turning into a black, harden cocoon that can also turn the bodies carbon-dioxide to oxygen to sustain the body.

The Zuborgo also have amazing psychic powers that are limited to telepathy, psychometry, short-range teleportation, communing with plants and animals, and something unique call, combat memory. Combat memory is a psychic ability which allows one to use the memories of their predecessor, such as a parent skilled in martial arts, that can use those skills and later perfect them. Then those memories of each battle and obtained skills can be passed on.

## Society & Culture

Zuborgo society is highly spiritual thanks to their psychic abilities that allow them to hear the whispers of The Shroud which many believe to be the gods of ancient human times. Pending on certain traits they got spliced in or certain implants, they receive a special "blessing" from the god or gods they choose to worship. Because of this, they developed a special form of technology that only works on pure faith or belief. In actuality, it is a form of technology that only works with their psychic powers. Even works with crowd mentality. However, they believe that altering their DNA will allow them to get closer to their gods.

The architecture they have is a mix of Kulen Style, Bakheng Style, Ancient Roman, Angkor Wat Style, Bayon Style, Shanxi, Umayyad, Abbasid, Asuka, Nara, Kamakura, Cantonese, Gan, Gupta, Hindu, Jain, Indo-Islamic, Mughal, Silla, Goryeo, Moorish, Gothic, Sassanian and Portuguese Mannerism.

Much of their education comes from monasteries and temples. All teachers are priests and priestesses that specialize in all fields. Many children of villages commute to these monasteries and temples in order to receive an education.

In the military, there are certain altercations that can be made when in the service that greatly increase their strength, speed and combat capabilities. Once retiring or when the war is over, the altercations can be removed. The military itself is mostly comprised of volunteers. Those that wish to remain are given more special modifications as decorated veterans. The military uniforms are actually a type of power armor that is a form of green carapace that absorb sunlight that give the soldiers nutrients when food rations are low.
