We like the dark. It's harder for them to see us... before it's too late.

The Katel are a species of small bat-like creatures native to planet Ioket in the Ottzello Galaxy. Serving as Dark Chronoscopic counterparts to the peaceful Ioketa, the two races have a long history of rivalry and later partnership. In the current day, they are among the many races who compose the Union Republic of Ottzello.

History[]

Tuolog Dalverat Rivalty

Katel tribesmen fighting Tuolog in the old days.

The Katel are one of the two native sapient species of Ioket alongside the Ioketa. Emerging as a war-like race who was incapable of controlling their innate destructive tendencies, the Katel tribes waged war on the peaceful Ioketa for many years until the wise master Tuolog was able to pacify them by helping them control their powers, welcoming them under his people's tutelage and leading the two races who start living together in harmony. Millions of years prior to this, however, some Katel had already managed to leave their homeworld and become part of the sinister cult known as the Blyro'Tralzorca, though they were few in number.

The Katel only became known to the wider galaxy during the Third Ottzello Galactic War, when the world of Ioket was found by the United Nations of Ottzello. Under Tuolog's guidance, the Katel would join that civilization and its successors, always finding a role in their societies as Essence warriors and teachers.

Characteristics[]

Biology[]

Katel are short-sized mammalian creatures resembling humanoid chiropterans, typically no larger than a meter tall. They tend to possess vivid red fur with golden patches over their limbs and blue dots over their head, and multiple, long strands of hair which grows behind their ears. They possess large wings which grant them flight as well as prominent fangs which they use as part of their Essence manipulation. Katel males and females tend to be indistinguishable in appearance to most other races. Among the many Chronoscopic organisms of Ottzello, the Katel are notable for being based on Dark Chronoscopic energy rather than conventional Chronoscopic.

Behavior[]

The Katel possess a predatory demeanor by nature, leading them to be aggressive and war-like creatures. This led them into conflict with the peaceful Ioketa over much of their shared history, but the latter were eventually able to tame the aggression of the Katel by teaching them meditation and self-reflection. Most Katel nonetheless are still inclined into being warriors rather than diplomats, using their newfound control over their abilities to serve as protectors rather than destroyers.

Abilities[]

The Katel are notable for being "Essence vampires". By using their fangs to pierce into an enemy's bloodstream, a Katel can absorb their Essence and convert it into Dark Chronoscopic for them to wield against their opponent, or if they happen to be a Dark Chronoscopic organism themselves, the Katel can devour their Essence and weaken them in the process. This proves highly effective against dark creatures, as the Katel's Dark Chronoscopic physiology grants them increased resistance against demonic Essences, though it has a certain limit; an over-consumption of Essence can cause the Katel to lose control and self-destruct.

Do things my way, for I actually know what I'm doing.

Dalverat was the leader of the Katel at the time when they joined the Unified Nation of Ottzello. A pupil and close ally of Tuolog, he was one of his people's greatest warriors, a powerful Essence master who served as one of the first members of the UNOC Unit, where he shared the title of The Skull with Thr'aloy. He eventually met his end by the hands of the Loron Voa'reak during Da Ice Cube Trials, much to the dismay of the Katel people.

The Perfect Fate has failed. But I must shape our fate to be the best it can be.

Durzhan is an ancient Katel who once led the Blyro'Tralzorca. Formerly one of the most devoted servants of Zargoth, he orchestrated most of Ottzello's wars in preparation for the Perfect Fate, though his efforts eventually ended in failure and for his master to forsake him. His subsequent efforts to oppose Zargoth led him to be redeemed as part of URO, where he took the mantle of The Skull after Dalverat's death and served until he finally met his end during Time's Terminus, attempting to protect URO from the Cult of Zargoth.

Notes[]

Quotes[]

Their ability of Essence conversion requires study. A shame they do not consent for experimentation.
