Creature:Traversian

This is the main page for the Traversian Species (aka Archridos). The Traversians are relatively interesting species mainly because of their history and from where they originate.

General Overview
The Traversians (aka Archridos) are a species originating from the universe Erideith, but has to flee to ours because of an ancient and evil enemy who is presumed to be destroyed. The Traversians are the founding species, and only species within the Traversian Reircha (aka Traversian Democratic Republic). They originate from the planet Irochnel, and universe Erideith. They were forced to flee Erideth because of a parasitic disease named the Dark Select, a viral species that took and manipulated a living organism's mind and then proceeded to transform the host into living monster. Most of the Traversian Reircha and Traversian Species was destroyed in the process of escaping the Dark Select. They only managed to escape and save all other universes from the Dark Select by creating a doomsday weapon to destroy Eredieth. They then travelled into our universe (via their only surviving ship, the Viria) and crashed in the Milky Way Galaxy. The Viria lost all Transuniverse, Intergalactic, and Interstellar travelling capability, and was forced to crash land on a small world (Later Named "Chance") in the Orion Arm in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Biographical Overview
The Traversians have two notable forms due to their different adaptations in Chance and Irochnel. The Chance Traversians (Chevrs) and the Irochnel Traversians (Ivernel) are the main sub-catagories of the Traversians. There are however some traits that were preserved even though the Traversians adapted to a new universe. These are the Base Traits, they were not changed through the migration to our universe. The Base Traits are: -Incredibly fast cell/wound regeneration speed -Tough and flexible muscles, bone, and skin -Quick Learning Pace/Speed -Fast Movement through the use of four legs -Various sounds can be produced through a complex set of vocal chords

These traits will remain with the Traversians no matter what they go through,they are unable to be changed due to the Traversians' skill with each trait. Now, there are traits that have been changed due to their different adaptations to different worlds in different universes. However, instead of listing which ones changed, I will describe and compare both kinds or Traversians.

Ivernel (Irochnel Traversians): Average Height: 5"2-6"1 ft Average Length: 4ft Average Life-span: 435-467 Years Average Maximum Speed: 47 mph Average IQ: 270-312

The Ivernel have a relatively tall height, length, long life-span, and fast speed. Their IQ is beyond the IQ of most species in this Universe. Their base traits are also greater than most species, as they are an all around powerful and obviously evolved species. Their only weaknesses are a very powerful burn to the head (mainly a high powered plasma shot) which prevents the regeneration process in the damaged area, and then that leaves their muscles protecting the brain and skull weak and vulnerable. Also, high powered plasma shot fired upon anywhere on the body (except the chest) will have the same effect. Only the chest, which is very bony and there for capable of absorbing enormous amounts of energy, can deflect or absorb a high plasma shot.

Chevrs (Chance Traversians): Average Height: 5"6-6"8 ft Average Length: 3"2-4"2 ft Average Life-Span: 396-442 years Average Maximum Speed: 35mph Average IQ: 235-297

The Chevrs have grown in height and shortened in length mainly due to Chance's lower gravity. Their Life-span has decreased immensely because of all the new diseases, strange and wild new ecosystem, and the atmospheric near-perfect but still different atmosphere of Chance. The Chevrs have lost their ability to go as fast as the Ivernel due to the lower gravity of Chance, but still go very fast. Their average IQ decreased as well mainly due to their crippled resources and numbers, and their inability to get started on a new civilization or project quicker when they arrived on Chance. However, the base traits remain the same and stable.

Basic Needs
Traversians in general, require an atmosphere composing of at least oxygen and hydrogen, and for better adaption even carbon dioxide. They also, like most other species, require a stable ecosystem, a water source, and a spice geyser. Not much else is needed to support this species, but when ever there is surplus of any of their needs, they can use it to the maximum.
