Biology[]
The Kazaru are a species of Mammaloquadroavipsids from the planet Wnyda. Their size depends on where on the planet, and now that they have colonized other planets, which planet they come from. In the lands close to the equator, they´re about 160-175 centimeters and are colored brownish yellow with green stripes on the back. A little farther from the equator, the stripes are brown, and as you move closer to the poles,the color of the skin slowly fades into first yellow and then white with gray stripes at the same time as the average size increases. Their blood is bright reddish-purple and contains the same different cells like ours, except for the fact that they have two different kinds of red blood cells as the result of a disease that they have lived with during almost their entire evolution that attacks the red blood cells, but since they now posses two kinds of red blood cells, and the virus only attacks one kind, they are virtually immune. Their blood also contains more red blood cells since the atmosphere on their homeworld Wnyda only contains 15-16 percent oxygen. Because of this, they also have large lungs, a large heart and a large chest in order to survive. The kazaru consist of three subspecies:
Rapidis linguisticas linguisticas: The common kazaru. They are 160 to 180 cm tall and are coloured dark yellow to yellow with yellowish brown stripes.
Rapidis lingusticas borealis: Polar kazaru.They are 180 to 210 cm tall and are coloured very bright yellow to white with steel gray stripes.
Rapidis linguisticas australis: Southern kazaru. They 150 to 165 cm tall and are coloured yellowish brown with brown or green stripes.
Location[]
The kazaru have formed a small empire in a remote starcluster in the galaxy of Andromeda,or in their tounge: Knecharanan liri (The land of the Stars.)
Culture[]
The Kazaru culture has not changed much over the millenia. They still revere the god Zotekatl and the goddess Chara. They also still live in small villages with only little technology. Of course, some live in cities, but the most common way of living is as farmers and hunters. When a man wishes to marry a woman, he must first catch and kill a wild animal, typically a large predator. Then, he must fashion some kind of jewelry or clothing out of the animal. They are forbidden to tell anybody exactly what they are making. Then, on the day of the wedding, the man brings forth his gift to the woman he wishes to marry so that she can evaluate his work. Then, if the woman deems him worthy, and, of course, if she is in love with him, they will now be officially married. Also,the wife has to prove this by wearing his gift for three days. The oldest son always inherits the land of the family, unless there are no sons. The females are technically allowed to inherit the land of the family even if there is a son, it´s just that the social structure of their society dosen´t work if they do. The Kazaru priests are called shamans and seems to able to use mystic energy, allowing them to do a number of things, including, but not limited to, separating their spirit from their body and manipulating any kind of matter or energy. Unknown to the Kazaru, the mystic energy powers of the shaman come from a small group of early kazaru ancestors which were separated from the bulk of their species and under their separation developed primitive mystic powers as a form of communication. Millions of years later, the separated population where united with the rest of the species and the mystic energy strain where dispersed into the genetic pool of the Kazaru. However, this dosen´t mean that the Kazaru gods (see below) does not exist. They are,in fact, the psychic manifestations of all the Kazarus' emotions and thoughts, gathered to form sapient parts of a communal subconsciousness shared by all Kazaru. The Kazaru shamans still hear the voices of the gods, because of what was mentioned before. That means, the Kazaru gods are the Kazaru, and the Kazaru are their gods. However, only the shamans and the moon and sun warriors possess the correct genetic strains to be able to sense it and use its powers. The Kazaru with mystic powers make up about 20 % of the total population and and the shamans make up around 10 % of the Kazaru with psionic powers. The shamans in the south dress like normal Kazaru, except for the fact that they wear foot-long tunics and wooden masks. In the north, they have more wizard-like clothing. Every morning a ceremony is hold in honor of the gods, which includes praying and singing songs like Ihara Fo Ta Zokan, which means Honor to the Gods
There is no point listening when one´s deaf - A famous shaman's saying to a Kazaru saying the gods didn´t exist because he couldn´t hear them.
War brings glory.Hunting brings you a thrill. Sitting in front of your house, watching your kids playing a game of Korball brings happines - Kazaru saying

Religion[]
The Kazaru religion is polytheistic and has two gods: Zotekatl, the god of the sun, life and war, and the goddess Chara, goddess of the moon, peace and death. The Kazaru believe that the world was created when a great cosmic egg hatched. Out of it came two creatures, shining with light. Their names where Tesun and Sarenas, who would later be known as Imzak,the name meaning that the bearer is not a god. Together they created the stars and the planets and seeded them with the life. However,it was always Tesun that was in charge of how everything would look, and Sarenas became jealous. Therefore, he secretly created the first demons out of the ancestors of the Kazaru. When Tesun discovered how Sarenas had mutilated the Kazaru, he was angry and said that Sarenas would never be allowed to create anything again. Sarenas grew furious and in his rage he killed his brother. But, out of Tesun´s dying spirit two guardians where created, the twin gods Zotekatl and Chara. Then, Sarenas changed apperance from being a golden Kazaru to a twisted creature resembling his minions because of his evil deed. Another part of their religion is the Darab-tigis, or the right or good way. It´s like the Ten Commandments, and teaches the Kazaru about independence, honor and taking responsibility for their own actions.

Weapons[]
The EAK-33 Electric/Kinetic assault rifle[]
The EAK-33 is the standard weapon in the kazaru military along with the PAG-02. For ammonution, it uses bullets made of a superconductor that is synthesized in great space stations. While being shot through the barrel, the bullets passes through an electric field, making them carry with them a massive electric charge.

The PAG-02 Plasmatic pistol[]
The PAG-02 is pistol that utilizes plasma instead of conventional ammunition to kill. The weapon contains a gas reserve. A tiny bit of this reserve is superheated into plasma, and then jolted out of the weapon using strong magnetic fields. It is mainly a anti-infantry weapon, as the plasma wonn't go through go through thick armour as well as its bullet counterparts, as it would have to melt through it.

Junku Atruy's personal pistol[]
This is a very special gun. It was awarded to Junku Atruy for killing the Kri queen. It does not shoot bullets,nor plasma, but mystic energy! After months of experimenting, the best kazaru scientists came up with this great weapon, incapable of running out of ammo. However, it is too expensive to mass-produce.
