Creature:Hiln

The Hiln, or "Hi'lana" in their native language, are a race of bipedal anthropoidal humanoids native to the planet Hil. They are honorable and warlike, never backing down from a fight if it may mean saving lives or have strategic importance. The Hiln Alliance's territory encompasses 5 systems with the Eagula Region.

Biology
The Hiln are tall and slender, have endoskeletons, two nasal slits to perceive smell, two eyes, tear ducts, lips and teeth similar to humans. Hiln eye colors are typically shades of orange, blue and yellow. Hiln have several redundant organs capable of keeping a Hiln alive even if one of the organs is compromised.

Hiln have low tolerance to bright light due to the clouded and rainy atmosphere of their homeworld. They have exceptional essence capability from evolution on Hil, which is a nucleus of essence activity due to essence-imbued artifacts hidden below the surface of the planet.

Hiln skin is pigmented from a dark blue to a light purple due to a chemical naturally found on their homeworld, Hil.

Culture
Hiln culture is disciplined and organized, focusing on ideas like service and contribution to Hiln military and government. On Hil there are several military academies populated by many different races, each seeking the robust military training system employed by the Hiln.

In Hiln society a child becomes an adult when they reach the age of 20. Hiln culture has great respects for elders and veterans of wars long before fought. They treat their elders like teachers, and they are given the highest respect among Hiln social culture.

Government
The Hiln Alliance is a council of 5 democratically elected officials, called 'Tuars" each representing one of the 5 systems occupied by the Hiln.
