Vroxen

**Vroxen** are a species of humanoid frog aliens that previously resided on the planet known as 20A-B.

## Lore

Vroxen are part of an advanced alien society, consisting of a culture that is heavily influenced and intertwined by and with humans. In the ancient days, Vroxen were a very tribal and primitive species, much like the feral variant is today. However, that changed when their home planet, 20A-B, was raided by a foreign species Vroxen now refer to as "Robots." This species brought with them many technological advances, such as the introduction of guns and smithing. The biggest advancement of all, though, was the introduction of electricity to the planet, resulting in a massive technology expansion. In return for their knowledge, Robots demanded that they be worshiped as gods-- and the Vroxen happily obliged. This created a sort of compromise system on the planet. In exchange for knowledge and blueprints for new materials, the Vroxen were required to protect and serve the Robots.

## Wars and Conflicts

### The Seven Year War

The aptly named Seven Year War was a period of conflict between Vroxen and Robots in which the Vroxen were victorious. However, both parties suffered large casualties. The Robots were forced to flee from the planet, their fate unknown. On the other side of the battle, the Vroxen were nearly eradicated, with the survivors forced to leave 20A-B for earth.

### The Feral Division

A period of time in the ancient days when the aptly named "feral" Vroxen were formed.

## Abilities

Vroxen are typically stronger than humans, able to carry x2 their own weight. They also are faster than humans, being able to outrun an average human very easily. They also have long tongues, which can be used to grab items and even opponents. Vroxen can also use their hair to grab onto things as well, but it isn't used very often.

## Biology

A Vroxen life cycle lasts around 80-90 years. When nearing their elder years, Vroxen skin will become lighter and begin to dry out. A life cycle consists of an egg stage, "leech" stage, child stage, teenage stage, adult stage and elder stage.

Before mating, Vroxen engage in a courtship ritual of a violent fight. After fighting, the victorious Vroxen will bite the other, spitting blood into their mouth. They mate shortly after and the losing Vroxen will carry the child/children.

Vroxen mature between the ages of 17-18.

### Vroxen Names

Most Vroxen names are 5-6 letters long, and always begin with an A.

## Culture

### Religion

Most Vroxen worshipped "*Robots*", a foreign alien species that colonized their planet. Since Robots were the ones that gave them the power of electricity instead of it being invented, they saw them as gods.

### Language

Prior to being colonized by the Robots, Vroxen had their own written and spoken language, but not much is known about it. Nowadays, the most common language in Vroxen society is English, though the old language is still taught in schools.

## Feral Variant

Vroxen have a species variant known as "Feral". These are "wild" Vroxen, which refuse to live with the rest of Vroxen society and prefer a more natural lifestyle.

### Hierarchy and Governmental structure

Ferals have a dictatorship in which an "Executioner" (a being similar to a king) takes control over the entire group. However, there are individual villages led by Vroxen appointed as "Chiefs" that maintain order and cooperation inside of these villages. Chiefs will report straight to an Executioner if need be.

The current Feral power structure is built as follows. Each "rank" can receive orders from the rank above it and can give orders to the rank below them.

Executioner >> Executioner's guard >> Warrior >> Chief >> Villager

### Culture

Ferals typically believe in more tribal ways of living (spears, bows, swords) as opposed to their more futuristic "City Vroxen" counterparts. They also dress as such, often wearing togas or battle armor made of bone or twigs and leaves. They also embrace their barbaric ancestry and believe those that chose to adapt to more futuristic and human ways of living to be "traitors". They primarily speak the old Vroxen language, though some know English from frequent human visits.
