Demographics

Absukians

Much of the population of Ao'hākoʻakoʻa is natively and majority Absukian, Absukians are alien sharks that have evolved into their current form, possessing fish and amphibian-like traits, such as fins of a shark, webbed feet and hands, along with gills which allow them to swim and thrive underwater, They live amphibiously both on land and water. They did not develop mammal ears until later on in their evolution. An Absukian's average height is around 5'3 ft (160 cm) with their maximum height being 6'7ft (200.7 cm).

Hands & Feet: All Absukians have five fingers, a thumb, and five toes. They have webbed hands & feet as well like amphibians. They also have claws; their claws are slightly translucent, and they can be long or short. They have paw pas on their feet. But sometimes it can be on their hands. A flexible claw on each side of their feet resembles almost velociraptor-like.

Beards: Through evolution, Absukians began to develop 'facial hair' from their appendages.

Eyes: Their eyes have scotopic vision & have tapetum lucidum which allows them to see in low-light environments such as murky or deep waters. They have a nictitating membrane which allows them to feed on prey to help protect their eyes. (Southern Absukians have darker sclera unless crossbred with other Absukian subspecies.)

Ftills: Absukian frills come in different shapes & sizes. Baby Absukians (pups) don't have fully developed frills until they grow up to 3 months old.

Ears: Absukian ears come in different sizes from each region. Some develop ears that are abnormal & unique due to their genetics at birth through crossbreeding. The most common ear shapes are the Western, Eastern, Northern, and Southern. (Western Absukian has the biggest ears out of all the 3 regional Absukians, the reason why they possess such big ears is because of the hot environments they are in which allows them to dissipate excess heat during hot days.

Bioluminescence Tongues: All Absukians have bioluminescent tongues, the very major muscular organ. Their tongue is slim and always seen as shiny looking. But baby Absukians do not possess glowing tongues until later in their childhood. Absukians have 1 set row of sharp teeth and a long tongue, the length is similar to pangolins, anteaters. (Absukian tongues can be around 7-12 inches long [17.8 cm - 30.5 cm)

Neck fluff scales: The scales that act like neck fluff were a rare trait passed down from the ancestry of each region. It can also be a form of armour for each Absukian. Their scales are smooth and surprisingly flexible. The pointed tips of the scales do not hurt them in the slightest.

Skin: Absukian’s skin is covered by tiny, flat V-shaped scales called placoid scales, also known as dermal denticles. But their skin is also shiny and almost slippery too. Making it feel less like sandpaper and somehow smooth. This also has allowed them to shield their internal skin from UV radiation and virtually decrease skin cancer to 0%. However, this doesn’t protect from things like X-rays or other radiations stronger than UV radiation.

The scales that act like neck fluff were a rare trait passed down from the ancestry of each region. It can also be a form of armor for each Absukian. Their scales are smooth and surprisingly flexible. The pointed tips of the scales do not hurt them in the slightest.

Reproduction: Absukians are a viviparous species.

Teeth: Absukians do not have three rows of teeth like regular sharks do, only 1 row of teeth. They also have a molars at the back of their teeth.

Venom glands: Absukians possess two sides of a gland inside their throats. Absukians use this venom in fights or battles but also to protect themselves from predators. Their saliva mixed with the venom (which has a blue appearance) they build up can be deadly, especially from their bite combined. A bite from Absukians can be lethal.

Gender differences: Females are typically identified by their mammalian traits, such as larger breasts, and more diminutive stature. In contrast, males have a larger stature and do not have breasts. Males produce greater testosterone than females and, therefore, have more masculine traits such as increased bone mass, muscle mass, etc.. However, that is not to say females can’t achieve said traits but take longer to develop than males or require supplements to achieve the same level of physique.

Absukian Subspecies

There are four subspecies of Absukians, each with unique features and traits. Starting off with an overview of each one. Each regional variant has a different appearance to one another.

Eastern Absukians: They are the most common subspecies among them. The most notable feature is their snouts which can range from short, long, or pointed, they also have hip fins. They possess standard traits: webbed hands, feet and frills. Eastern Absukians that have been crossbred can have other traits too. This is the same for other subspecies.

Western Absukians: They are the smallest subspecies. They sometimes have facial markings that look like a mask. They possess forearm fins as well. They are the most friendly of the three. Western Absukians usually have big ears, which are used to cool them down in hot environments.

Southern Absukians: They have sharper claws, fins on their ankles and pure dark sclera eyes. Southern Absukians are seen as a tougher and brawny subspecies. Their appearance is seen as scary due to their dark sclera eyes and intimidating look. Their dark sclera eyes allow them to catch the tiniest amount of light. They are the only nocturnal & crepuscular subspecies.

Northern Absukians: They are commonly known for their noble and elegant attitude and looks. They have slanted eyes but can have other eye traits; have similar height to the Eastern. The fins they have located around their crotch area are the pelvic fins, however, not all have pelvic fins. They have earlobes that range from small to large: which allows them to wear ear gauges. Northern Absukians have an odd way of taking compliments. They enjoy compliments on their ear gauges, it is considered attractive to have colorful, glamourous gauges: the size of the gauges also matters.

Coral Dragons

Coral Dragons look similar to Orcas with distinct features such as a humanoid body and draconic-like wings. They alike Absukians have ties to the ocean, though unlike Absukians these Coral Dragons have a special 'breath' which is used for different tasks in the tribes they used to reside. Their average height tend to be around 5'3 ft (160 cm) with their maximum height being 6'7ft (200.7 cm).

Water: Being able to breathe out cold, hot, warm or steam, this breath has been used to cook or breed out the pearl eggs, their steam breath is used to perform rituals and healing.

Ice: Ice breath has been used to preserve food, can also be used to make ice cold water or tea during hot summer days.

Bubbles: These bubbles are thick and hard to pop and are able to hold their shape for around 6 hours. People with this ability have mainly went hunting for food or use to carry items overland.

Blue Fire: This is a special trait, it is unknown how one possesses this ability as it isn't a hereditary trait, though it is said that those who have this breath is blessed by the ocean goddess. Fire breathers are often assigned to be tribe protectors. [Species made by Rainbowscreen, will put reference once a sheet is out]

Dralox

Dralox are a reptilian humanoid species who typically stand around 11-13 feet (3.4 - 4 meters) tall on average. Their tendrils which extend from their head tend to be 20-30% longer (13-15 feet / 4 - 4.6 meters) than the height of their body in a relaxed state, and can be flexed to another 20-30% in length due to the fact that the spinal / tendon structure has not only strong, but flexibility. Their average weight tend to be 750 - 950 lbs for a fairly fit Dralox. Dralox can live upward of 300-400 years.

Their bite strength can almost break through steel, their smaller teeth are built to withstand heightened pressures, and recorded strengths average 7,000 PSI with highs of ~10,000 PSI from some of the strongest, and 3,000 PSI from some of the weakest.

Gelapsi

The Gelapsi (Gel-app-see) are a species of gelatinous psychic serpent-folk. Their large bodies are comprised entirely of semi-liquid 'neural gel', which grant them remarkable intelligence and a natural aptitude for psychic abilities.

They are around 8 - 10 feet tall, with tails that are thicker than their upper bodies, and anywhere from 60 - 120 feet long on average. They also possess two sets of antennae. The frontal antennae are delicate to the touch and function as auditory receptors. The larger rear antennae are less sensitive to the touch - notably soft and squishy to the touch), and act as feelers for a psychic sixth sense the Gelapsi call the 'Mindstream' - a flow of psionic energy that surrounds all things. Their auxiliary 'eyes' while incapable of visually processing light, allow them to see the Mindstream overlay on their more traditional spectrum of vision.

Gelapsi are cold-blooded lifeforms, becoming mildly lethargic in temperatures under 40 degrees Celsius. As well as possessing remarkably keen minds, they also exhibit impressive physical strength. Lacking muscle structures, their gelatinous bodies move entirely by psychokinetic impulses in their neural gel; it would be accurate to say their physical strength level i directly related to their force of will.
