Creature:Radeon



 "We rise again." 

"Now, we do what we always do - from the ashes, we rise again."

- Clericarch Iovera

Radeons (Radessic: High Protectors of the Spode, plural can be both "Radeon" and "Radeons") are medium-sized religious rodents, first worshippers of the Spode. They faced almost complete extinction several times, but always returned back, like a phoenix from the ashes. While cold and zealous, they have the souls of heroes and fought together with the Onuris Allience during the War of the Ages. Mysterious, spiritual and devoted to their mysterious masters, Radeons rarely contact with other civilisations other than their closest allies.

History
Radeon have a long and strange history of eternal deaths and rebirths. See the page.

Physiology
Radeons are not physically strong, especially compared to other species of the Gigaquadrant like Libertus, Zazane and Grimbolsaurians - their strength is comparable to that of humans. However, Radeons are agile and quick, with fast reflexes making them excellent soldiers. However, they have low stamina and are frail.

Little of Radeons' inner biology is known as Radeons refuse to tell. It is presumed that their body contains large amount of metals like silver, giving their bones and blood a metallic tint as well as increasing their resistance to damage. Their mouth structures and some body features are reminiscent of Terran rats, suggesting that they evolved from rodents.

Radeon females are notably different to males in look, standing upright and having flatter faces. Little is known of how Radeons reproduce, much like all their inner biology.

Abilities
Radeons are the masters of, and use it for various purposes. All Radeons are naturally telepaths and have limited ability for telekinesis. If properly trained, Radeons can also have the power to control feelings and emotions of others, using this in the battlefield to terrify their enemies, make them scream in pain or ecstasy or turn at each other in dark rage. Gifted Radeons like Iovera can also have power of mind control.

Behaviour
Radeons are generally cold and zealous, committing themselves to the idea without any doubt, emotion or anything that could stop them from achieving their goals. They are often seen as creepy and emotionless by other species due to this. That is not exactly right: Radeons have feelings and emotions, but all of them learn how to supress them in times of need. To their close friends and lovers, Radeons may be more soft than to outsiders. A Radeon without any emotional restraints is something not to be mentioned.

Society
As Radeons belong to many empires, their society differs from one empire to another. Those who belong to the Kraw Federation, for example, live in liberal, secular society, while those who are aligned to the Divinarium are under the totalitarian religious hierarchy. Generally, religion and goverment dominate Radeon lives. Radeons think that power of the society as whole is greater than the power of the one indivudual, and that idea reflects in their Spodist religion, as they believe that sacrifice of their selves for the cause of the state and society as whole allows them to trascend their mortal lives. They have little entertainment in their culture due to this, as they find it heretical.

Habitat
Radeons, naturally, favor arid, deserted and hot places, as they evolved in such locations. Currently, however, Radeon live in the urbanised territories much like other sentient species. Their cities, however, have one unique feature - there is no private property in their habitats, as Radeons think that everything in their lives - including themselves - belongs to the society as whole.

Vehicles
Radeons use advanced, hovering vehicles for military and their normal life. Using these technologies, they can easily move across the planet for the work. Their spaceships, which are using the warp drives, are also highly advanced and are armed with extremely powerful plasma and warp weaponry.

Devices
Radeon devices come in form of computers directly implanted to their brains. These implants give them ability to communicate over large distances and increase their psychic abilities.

Weapons
Radeons favor long ranged plasma weaponry, compensating for their weakness in close combat. They also use singularity catapults and superlasers.
