**Karens** (*Homo Karenus)* are a species of Warriors. Not much is known about them, but The Fourth Reich reverse engineered their technology. They are ruled by Queen Karen the tyrannical and are the founding species of the Karen Empire.

Contrary to popular belief, they do have a male gender, and they have total gender equality.

## Biology

They are Humanoids that resemble Female Humans, including Males. They have an average lifespan of 1,000, and unlike Humans, they remain active even in their dying state.

## Culture

What is known about their culture is that they consider dying in glorious battle to be the greatest honour, as it grants access to Karenhalla, their sacred afterlife, and believe souls are forced to reincarnate until then.

Their society is practically indistinguishable from a military, so much so that Karenese doesn't distinguish the two.

This also applies to childhood, with children of rival families fighting to the death in a brutal Rite of Passage.

Their standard battle tactic is to run into battle in heavy armour screaming "**WAR IS GODDESS!"** with laser artillery and laser guns blazing.

They have an appreciation for Earth Literature such as Harry Potter.

### Hu'kaa

The Hu'kaa is the Karen's rite of passage, it takes place on a Karen's 13 birthday. It is a brutal battle that results in actual death. In it, children are divided into 2 sides, who fight until the other side either surrenders, is completely killed, or the commander is killed.

### Family

The Family (Karenese: Khohm'playint) is the founding block of Karen society, acting as a hybrid between a Human family and Military Unit, they are lead by a Mother and Father, and have various ranks, which are bestowed due to battle prowess. As a result of Karen Society's extremely militaristic nature, an average family has 6,000 members

### Family Ranks

**Father:** the family's leader, he decides if the family goes into war, and promotes and demotes his children.

**Mother:** the second most important person in a family, she acts as the main caretaker.

**Great Offspring:** the highest rank attainable by children, it is bestowed after 400 years total in battle.

**Battle Proven:** the rank given to children who have had 100 years total in battle.

**Distinguished:** the title of children who have served in the Hu'kaa.

**Brother/Sister**: the lowest rank, given to children who haven't taken place in the Hu'kaa.

## Karenese

**Karenese** is the language spoken by the Karens, it is a fairly inconsistent language. "Karen" is used as a word a metric fuck ton.

## Technology

Almost all Karen technology is geared to war, including everyday items such as cars, which can turn into Scorpions.

They possess the technology to revive the dead, though it hasn't been used since the days of Karen I

## History

They evolved on the planet KarenWorld millions of years ago. They had a prehistory similar to Humanity, though had many conflicts with the Abuginations, which spurred their technological development.

## Trivia

* All of them are named Karen, and they follow a similar system with their city names, such as Karingham, their capital city.
* Despite being named after, and modelled upon the stereotypical example, they have nothing in common with the slang meaning of Karen.
