The Banshaen are a sapient, space-faring race from the Viperius Galaxy.
Physiology
Appearance
Banshaen are light blue, and have four wings along their backs. These wings are like those of a Terran hummingbird. When walking, they use two strong legs, which are retracted when flying. They have large green eyes.
The snout is like a long straw, and is toothless.
Males may have a yellow headcrest.
Diet
Banshaen must consume large quantities of nectar to stay alive. The massive amount of sugar consumed allows their wings to flap at an astonishing speed.
Reproduction
Banshaen reproduce sexually, where the male mates with a female and impregnates her. After mating, the female will lay about twenty eggs, which are taken care of by her, her mate and close family, his close family, and their friends and neighbors. They reproduce once every three years.
Sapience
Culture
Banshaen have a culture based mostly on making sure of the happiness and well-being of others. In fact, they have very large buildings dedicated to nothing but the caretaking of travellers. However, Banshaen are quite willing to fight, and in fact have had a somewhat turbulent history.
Art
Banshaen art is abstract, and does not truly resemble anything in particular. While most races viewed art as a reflection of the universe, the Banshaen regard it as an exercise in imagination.
Language
Banshaen language is based not on words, but on emotions. They speak using a complicated code of whistles, which translate into different emotions, which in turn represent different words and messages. This complexity can be achieved by the Banshaen brain, which is more adept at language then many other races. They can learn other languages remarkably fast, with little or no training.
Technology
The Banshaen have developed a large variety of technology. Their current technology includes:
- FTL Travel
- Kinetic Weaponry
- A large number of appliances, designed to make everyday existence more convenient.
Distribution
The Banshaen have colonized some 27 worlds as of yet, and are still expanding through the galaxy at a very fast rate due to their quick reproductive cycle.
