The Day the Music Died

They told me you would get used to the tension before battle. The buzzing in the veins, everything being too quiet, and most of all: the Songs of fellow soldiers all around feeling the same tension as you.

The Academy lied, of course. You never get used to it. You just learn to cope with it, by whatever means necessary. The shit that goes through your head during battle, though? I don’t know if you can ever really cope with that.

World Canon: Terrans vs Humans*

*Subject to change as I keep throwing ideas at friends and they throw things back at me.

Terrans outwardly are indistinguishable from human save for being rather attractive and sometimes presenting slightly abnormal eye colors.

Biologically/Behavioral wise however, there are some mark differences.

Biological:

Their heart rates are slower then human, similar to how athletes have lower heart rates over average humans.

Their brains are notably wrinklier then humans

Terrans have additional nerve ganglia growing in their spinal columns that help support their more extensive nervous systems. Certain vertebra are larger to highlight this.

Terrans have a much much higher nutritional and caloric need over humans. Their food has been modified to serve this new need and they would actually fair poorly if forced to have to eat by human standards unless given a lot of food often.

Skeletal and muscular density is higher then that of humans, lending to Terrans being generally twice to three times as strong as humans. (Also dependent on psionic ability in the case of telekinetics)

Behavioral:

Terrans don’t necessarily need to maintain eye contract or even be looking at each to engage in full conversations as long as telepathy is involved. Humans may be unsettled to see two Terrans sitting next to each other seemingly “randomly” providing visible cues though no words are spoken.

Group behaviors can sometimes sync, a group of Terrans may simultaneously react to something that cannot be seen/heard by outside parties. Ex: a group of Terrans responding to a telepathic story by together smiling or laughing.

…Is he gonna beat my ass when I meet him? Or do like you do and try’n force me to run laps wearing weights strapped to my legs?

I have heard the stories from your apprentice, y’know. Can’t hide that shit when the kid is all too willing to warn people.

Don’t be ridiculous. I tailor training relative what what I know the person can handle.

And my uncle made most do a lot of dodging...dodging...with things you don’t want to get hit by.

I need another dog…I shall name it Tofu.

unholykeyblader

Be careful someone doesn’t stir-fry the pupper with teriyaki and baby corns.

generalyen

If someone even tried to think about that.

-predatory smile-

They’re /dead/.

unholykeyblader:

…No, you’re not a bad person. (Kind of a dick, though. But then again, who am I to talk.)

Well, he sounds like a good guy, then.

Should meet him sometime. He’a always curious about people I know. And I just realized I never named him.

Yi, Yuan.

Weeeeeeeell, that depends. He’s for the most part a pretty zen guy and chill…with people he doesn’t deem threats.

If he does deem you a threat to his “people…” how do I put this. He’s over a century old at this point. And the reason he’s managed to survive that long despite having done pretty much his entire career during the time of the Regime was because he just proved stronger and deadly then his enemies.

In other words, I can be safe to say he has no enemies because they’re all dead.

ARE YOU SURE HE’S ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS?!

generalyen

Calm down Vani, I promise he is. He trained me after all and I’m obviously not a bad person am I?

...he watched out for me during my academy days after my parents died. Made sure to keep an eye on me.

Well…yeah. My uncle, he’s the one who taught me to fight honestly. He’s former military himself. Know how my nickname is the Phoenix?

Yeah…he was known as the Dragon.

…Hooooooly fucksocks. Uuuuuum…so is he a nice dragon, or a mean dragon?

Weeeeeeeell, that depends. He’s for the most part a pretty zen guy and chill...with people he doesn’t deem threats.
