The Luridus Civilization

It is a civilization founded on the union of several different sub-species of interrelated terrans.

They live in a strict system where the tasks are usually distributed according to the species.

Inhabiting a region of cool stars has made them primarily pale, light-haired individuals though in a way that is more graceful and hypnotic than sickly.

## Philosophy

Due to its tortuous past history the citizens of Luridus have a philosophy of enjoyment, responsibility and self-improvement. Life on a difficult planet meant that there was no room for the development of things like art, music and other hobbies that gave meaning to life, When they arrived, excessive use caused degeneration, war, and decadence again, and because of this, they were considered inferior among themselves. But out of that dark age came the philosophy that allowed them to move forward and become a force to be reckoned with, combining self-control with enjoyment.

## History

### Origins

It is believed that they were one of many incubating strains of humans left behind in a hatchery ship by the ancients, who were genetically modified by outside beings who used them as mining slaves.

After the planet's precious resources were depleted, the powerful xenos withdrew, leaving their slaves free and aimless.

## Society and Culture

The luridus society is particularly intense, full of passions and desires that never end, there are always aspects to improve and refine, and if they consider an aspect that is already highly developed, they will immediately move on to another to perfect it as much as possible.

The ties with their family and loved ones are known to be stupidly strong, great betrayals of loved ones are known to often end in suicide or total drepression of the traitor. Despite how close and warm they can be with their allies, their anger and cruelty towards their enemies is well known, they plunge deep into a murderous rage that is hard to stop.

Pride, which is increased both by self-perception and by the esteem of others, this encourages more competition and the improvement of the individual, but in turn, this pride leads individuals to perform tasks in an unnecessarily difficult way or attempt ridiculous feats when This ends with the loss of pride. Ashamed individuals tend to become hermits who abandon their previous lives. Others simply prefer death to ridicule, resorting to suicide.

##### Pleiadian

Undisputed rulers of the Luridus civilization, they are like all terran sub-species of humanoid luridus with delicate features with skin pale as carved ivory of a lithe and muscular build, with eyes of both light and deep purple to violet color.

They are one of the largest in stature measuring 2 meters and a half on average but some men reach 4 meters, in their eyes they seem to have 2 irises and deformed pupils.

##### Heraut

The warrior caste grow to 2.5 meters tall and are strangely fast and graceful, yet they serve as commanders for basic infantry and due to their complicated reproduction large legions of these individuals cannot be formed.

When they are not in their armor leading troops they are usually bodyguards or famous martial practitioners of some kind.
