Pot7A Day 5: Tadril
Species:Thiller. Medium-sized, six-limbed bipedal people. Very intelligent with a mild, comfortable home world. Each arm ends in a tapered nub. Thillers pair for life at a very young age and work as partners to manipulate objects, raise buildings, etc to compensate for lack of hands.
Diet: Vegetarian. Selective breeding has produced delicate, delectable fruits, vegetables, and grasses. Domestic animals provide milk and eggs.
Temperament: Epicurean and finicky. Thillers are estimated by some to hold an average intelligence on levels similar to Rugens or Kokoparvests, but are greatly inhibited by their own bodies' abilities to invent. They are very co-dependant, feeling that partnership and help is every person's right, and loyal to their partners. Thillers have a reputation for being small and loud and judgmental towards other advanced peoples for not fixing everyone's problems yet.
Planet: Sariays. Mild, temperate climates and beaches are prominent. Flora and Fauna are generally docile. Technology has been employed to urbanize and develop the planet into a wholly ideal home world. Agriculture, business, and residential districts are divided to keep things orderly.
Deity: They are Always Together (White Goddess and Offwhite Goddess). Two female fertility gods, very tall and elegant, one slightly taller than the other, always seen standing close enough to be touching. Many churches are constructed around the cities towards worship and appreciation of them. Religion emphasizes selflessness, servitude, gentleness and goodness. Alternate god affiliation is heavily frowned upon. They are Always Together are often accredited actions other species might attribute to Sustainer.
Assimilation: Excellent. Sariays produces many competitively intelligent, well-educated citizens towards science or educational fields. Export of crops and silks balances an import of fine, modern hand-built technological labor saving devices. Relationships with Thelvets are notably common and good.
Space Program: Humbler than they would like, due to the continued issue of not having hands to build things with. Engineers and scientists are able to develop technologies but most serious projects require collaborations with other races.
*
Tadril: Fussy about peace and rules. Very well brought up and mannered, an upstanding citizen and married to the love of his life. Low-bred folk who deviate from what is socially acceptable frustrate him to no end.
Occupation: Catalogs and sells fine porcelain in a satellite branch of a larger firm that imports it from various sources.
Social: Closely bonded to his mate. Keeps in contact with those around him, offering help or asking it when needed.
