Rilliod/Satyr Minor Race Proposal

Post by BivPlays »

<u>Summary:</u>

The Rilliod are a race of humanoids originating from the Rill system. They bear some features like that of a human, including their head, arms, and torso. They also bear more animalistic features, commonly including horns, claws upon furred arms, and bipedal goat-like legs complete with hooves and a tail.

<u>Biology:</u>

The common Rilliod varies in size, generally ranging between 4’8” and 6’4” depending on the race. There are three common races of Rilliod, the latter two evolving alongside the first after colonizing the second of two habitable planets in the Rill system. Both races share many traits, including the presence of horns atop their heads, rectangular pupils, and furred, animalistic lower bodies. Their waist and legs are covered in fur, as is much of their arms, and they stand on hooved feet. They are omnivorous; their palette is comparable to humans, though they generally tend to lean more toward herbivorous diets.

Rill-Capra: The Rill-Capra are the original race of Rilliod in their home system, bearing strong resemblance to Sol’s goats. Ranging from smooth to scraggly, their fur comes in many earthen colors and patterns. The horns of a Rill-Capra are generally thinner than those of their racial counterpart, and they grow backward in an arc. The Rill-Capra are of average size compared to their brethren. This variant gets its name from the world upon which it evolved, being the small, warm world of Capra.

Rill-Arith: The Rill-Arith are a newer variant of Rilliod, having developed and evolved to accommodate for the colder tundra climates of Arith. These Rilliod have features more in line with sheep, namely their thicker wool hides. These pelts most commonly come in shades of white, with blacks being less frequent. Their horns are thicker than those of a Rill-Capra, growing in an outward spiral. In terms of size, the Rill-Arith range from the same size to slightly smaller than the Rill-Capra, but this lack of size is made up for by their large pelts.

Rill-Ova: The Rill-Ova evolved in Arith’s mountainous regions of Ova, leaving them sturdier than their sheepish brethren. Their pelts, while still wooly in nature, grow to a shorter length. The color of such wool is commonly a deep shade of brown, with various lighter or darker browns and grays not uncommon. Their horns are also larger still than those of Rill-Arith. This trend continues through to their physique, the Rill-Ova generally standing a few inches taller than their counterparts. Their stronger legs and arms come in handy when traversing the rough terrain they call home.

<u>History/Culture:</u>
Rill is a star system with three planets: Mazah, Capra, and Arith. The first is far too close to its star to be habitable, leaving its vast metallic ores untouched until only recently. Capra is akin to Earth in its makeup, with lush green forests covering much of the planet. The vibrant green is broken up by vast seas of blue ocean and the occasional browns and grays of civilization. Arith is less green than white, the large planet covered in snowy tundras and mountain ranges. The equator is of a temperate climate, leading to many tribes of Rilliod settling there.

The history of Rill is a quiet and pleasant one; their earliest written records, written in their uniform language of Rillith, depict their past as being generally free of war and conflict. The peace-loving people of this race instead chose to explore and enjoy the wonders of the natural world. As they developed more advanced technologies, they sought to keep their digging and tampering as minimal as possible, so as to keep from causing too much destruction to their home. In due time, they achieved the technology necessary to travel into space. With this technology, they travelled to the furthest planet from Rill, Arith, and began a colony there. They quickly adapted to their new habitat. Evolution took its course, and these pioneers went on to become the Rill-Arith and Rill-Ova of today.

While the Rilliod have been honing the science of space travel much longer than humanity, they also haven’t sought to develop FTL technology and explore the stars like other races across the galaxy. Instead opting to live peacefully in their own little corner of space and embracing what they have. Seeking not to tear up their worlds for resources and instead to let them thrive, it was only when the system was visited by NanoTrasen that they decided to finally venture into the stars. Since then, the system of Rill has seen some traffic, but it has mostly remained in the state it was found in, minus the mass mining of Mazah.

My apologies for not getting to this sooner. It's mainly just me and Cap doing lore things, and we're both busy IRL. Since you waited a while for this, I'll just throw this onto the wiki.
