Chaxian (Species)

The Chaxian is a race of small, multi-cellular organisms that does not fall into standard organic classifications like amphibious, mammalian, reptilian, etc. It comes from the planet Chaxxie, the 1st and only planet in the Shours system. They are one of the few species uplifted by the mysterious Human Race.

## Biology and Appearance

The Chaxians are the smallest Species to ever gain the level of intelligence required to form a galactic civilization, they are about as large as an earthly African Bullfrog, but with a slightly taller stance. They have been uplifted in terms of intelligence by the mysterious human civilization, a process which took millions of years to occur. It seems as if their intelligence was targeted towards them due to their status as an Apex Omnivorous predator, making them an excellent candidate for uplifting. By the time the Chaxian race was uplifted, the Galactic Council had formed, and they were shortly integrated into it after their discovery, and the Chaxian's discovery of extraterrestrial life beyond their local star cluster they had colonized.

The Chaxians have a proboscis used for sucking blood from corpses, and juice from fruits. They also drink water from this proboscis. Due to their bodies being covered in a special algae that uses retinaldehyde instead of chlorophyll, they take on a purple appearance, in which the algae builds up near their feet, which have a special organ in each toe that is used to soak up water, becoming heavier so they don't float. Chaxians have evolved this organ so that they can catch Prey on the ocean floor better.

90% of all of the Chaxian's Organs are not necessarily for bodily function, excluding the lungs, entire digestive system, and the frontal lobe of the brain. A Chaxian can live their life perfectly healthy without any complications if their heart is missing, or is most of their brain is out of their skull!

## Society and Lifestyle

The Chaxian species are usually alone in the fact that they have been uplifted by the mysterious Human Race. Despite this, they are co-operative and usually live together, rarely seeking solitude. They are more likely to be friendly and passive than to commit murder and crimes. The percentage of Chaxians that have committed a form of crime are usually let off the hook with a fine, unless if it is something as extreme as murder. If it is murder, they have to pay for it by donating an organ of their choice against their will, no chance at appealing unless proven innocent. If a murderer is proven innocent, and actually is, and has already donated an organ, a replacement made of machinery will be given to them. These organs are later used to treat hospital patients by using their flesh to craft necessary replacements for vital ones, like the lungs or digestive system as mentioned above. It is an odd style of life, but that's how it works.

## Government

The Chaxians live under a government known as "The Chaxian Miniscule Realms." this government is in early formation, and is currently taking it's first steps to being a proper nation of the galaxy itself. So far, nothing notable can be said about it other than the fact that it is in the progress of development. The Chaxians are the only Species that functionally have no archetype, due to the lack of governmental development.

## Super-Technology

The Chaxians have retained a Super-Technology from the Human Race, called the Giftmaster. this piece of technology can create a bundle of technology copied from the Chaxian's records to give to another species for free. It's like a free gift with no need for money to be spent from one side to another, and it boosts relations a lot. Very useful for first communications, and you can control how much technological significance the technology will be to the opposing species you are gifting it to!
