Creature:Vikyle

"You must reason with your foe... If they do not listen... Then violence must play a role..." -Codex of Vihomwo

The Vikyle are a race of mammalian diplomats found in the Milky Way Galaxy with an empire at the age of 150 Human years... Their technology, however, isn't dated with the galaxy's older inhabitants, making them vulnerable to older empires.

The young empire resides in a sector other inhabitants call "The Vikyle Colonies Sector", which is composed of 25 colonized planets (5 major planets - 20 minor planets) and slowly rising.

Early History
The Vikyle evolved on the multi-biome planet Vihomwo, a rather large planet located in the Orion arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. In their tribal years, the Vikyle developed a habit where "reasoning before using violence" was important, as killing innocents for no reason will not help in developing their race, but also hurt "The Almighty Spirit". This habit carried on to the age of civilization... Thanks to this habit, the Vikyle combined their efforts in developing technology.

Space Stage
Later during the civilization stage, the Vikyle managed to acquire advanced technology from a downed space shuttle located in the largest desert of Vihomwo. However, it took many years to understand such technology... But thanks to what they could collect from it, the Vikyle managed to create a rather "primitive" interstellar drive which allowed them to make it to another system in a couple of days (1 parsec = 3-5 days of travel). Approx. 50 years after building their first interstellar spaceship, their technology has advanced greatly thanks to combined efforts and other empires.

Biology
Vikyle biology is rather basic... Thanks to their longer ears, their hearing sense is quite powerful, making sneak attacks/attacks from behind rather hard to pull off. On another note, the muscles in their legs are rather powerful, allowing them to run at a fast pace, but they tend to not overdue the use of their powerful legs, as their lungs aren't developed to run at such a speed.

Behavior
Vikyle are willing to learn new things about the universe and anything else that would keep their eyes wide open in amazement, while respecting the ones who teach them about the massive cluster of galaxies and things about other races.

When it comes to conflict (and only in conflicts), the behavior of a Vikyle will quickly turn from kind and respective to a really defensive and rude (sometimes cruel if the conflict has gone too far, but this rarely happens) personality.

Philosophy and Religion
"Peace is the way... Without it... This galaxy will burn in a fiery blaze of war and death..." -Vikyle motto of Peace

Vikyle are a race of Diplomats, and believe the galaxy should forget about their differences and live together in peace, even if they must declare war on the evil that corrupts the galaxy... The Vikyle also believe in a deity they call "The Almighty Spirit", but are not overzealous over said deity... However, they respect The Almighty Spirit and have written a series of books in relation to their maker. On another note about their religion; The Vikyle have no "evil entity", however, it is said The Almighty Spirit will punish those who have been a bad individual in their life time by banishing them from "Paradise" to the "Underworld", dooming the individuals soul into a world of pain and no mercy.

Education
"Knowledge is important... Without it... You will grow up as a clueless individual." -Vikyle motto of Knowledge

Vikyle are first placed in school at age 3, where they will learn basic things, such as good behavior, eating healthy, and other things a teacher would teach a 3 year old. As the Vikyle progresses in grades, classes get gradually harder, such as in grade 3, the Vikyle will have to learn about the Codex of Vihomwo, and in grade 9, how the Codex of Vihomwo is important to the Vikyle and what is means...

The Vikyle must go through 15 grades of teaching before graduating, then the graduate has the choice to either go to an academy to learn about major jobs and what to do in them, such as being an ambassador, or see past the academy and work in basic jobs, such as working in market districts.
