Description – Gleaseans are a race of ancient humanoid beings who inhabit the planet Glease 581g. A planet approximately twenty light years from planet Earth in the constellation Libra. They walk bipedal, with slender muscular bodies, high cheekbones and pointed ears. They are the only extraterrestrial species discovered to be sapient like humans. They carry a bronze complexion which can turn a dark red with sunburn. Gleaseans are hairless, a feature that has been outgrown over many years of evolution. Gleaseans live in counties with populations between 1-1.3 million. Most of these counties are based around large bodies of water which provide the main source of their pescatarian diet. Although highly technologically advanced they have developed a sophisticated culture based on a deep spiritual connection to their planet and the other species that inhabit it. Their “Duba Caw” (Mother Earth) is the all-encompassing “goddess” of their planet. Technology – Gleaseans technology is highly advance. They are so advanced that their technology has its own technology. Nanotechnology intertwined with Gleasean genetics pairs the two and gives way to organic nanotech. This technology is self-improving, self-replicating & automated everything. Gleasean technology has allowed for consistent space travel and discovery. With nano drowns exploring at a consistent rate, Gleaseans have mapped out the constellation of Libra and beyond. Ever expanding their knowledge and curiosities far reaching their own blue skies, Gleaseans have mastered their own planet and live in harmony with their “Duba Caw”. Harnessing the power of their vast oceans and solar light, Gleaseans have created an endless source of power within their own right. ¬Habitat and Range – Glease 581g or better known as “Blue” Glease due to the planets excess amount of water is about 1.5 times the size of earth with a mass 4 times that of earth. This leads to the planet having a gravitational pull 1 and half times that of Earth. Blue Glease has a harsher environment than that of earth. With a comparatively smaller land mass then that of earth and a hotter core due to its mass, the planet experiences a larger frequency of earthquake, volcanic activity. There are only four continents with two of the larger continents located at the equator of the planet. This is also where the majority of the Gleasean population is found with smaller communities on the pole reaching continents where the weather is colder, and vegetation is scare. In these climates the communities are most ancient and secluded. Choosing to be isolated to the rest of the world these Gleaseans are the least known type of Gleasean there is on Blue Glease. To the furthest reaching north pole, there are scientist communities whose sole purpose being present in this climate is planet studies and exploration. It is also from this point of the planet that Gleaseans administer global protective services from a small military unit of about 12 to 15 individuals. Gleasean Physiology – Gleasean males average a weight of 300 lbs (136.1 Kil) and females a weight of 250 lbs (113.40 Kil). Their skin is smooth and thick with a bronze complexion. Those Gleaseans at the heart of the equator carry a darker red complexion due to sunburn while those Gleaseans who live in the cooler climates toward the poles of Blue Glease are lighter in complexion. All Gleaseans carry the same “no hair” trait. Dentition is similar to that of humans with no canines due to evolution. Raised cheek bones and eye socks on average 1 cm larger than that of humans are noticeable facial differences. The average life span of a Gleasean is 37% longer in comparison to their human counterparts. Gleaseans have 4 fingers and an opposable thumb on both hands and 5 toes on both feet. Gleaseans reproduction is very similar to humans thru the process of intercourse. Female Gleaseans females only produce eggs bi-yearly. Or in earths calendar year, every 3 and half years. Which means the course for a Gleasean female to reproduce is much more limited than that of a human female. This is turn pushes the female Gleasean to be much more selective with whom they reproduce with due to the smaller window in which to conceive. They also believe that the process of reproduction and giving life is a blessing endowed by the “Duba Caw”. Gleaseans bones have marrow just as humans do. The difference is that Gleasean marrow is thicker which makes their bones structure two times stronger than that of humans. This is to help Gleaseans adapt to the strain that the planet causes by having a stronger gravitational pull. Gleaseans are able to control their internal energy, which allows then to increase and decrease their metabolic rates. They are also able to manipulate the energy fields around them to an extent. Allowing them to manipulate the mood of other animal species and to an extent other Gleaseans. Gleaseans are also able to communicate telepathically with each other up to 6 meters in distance. This connection has to be abridged by both Gleasean parties and cannot be forced. Society and Culture – The majority of Gleaseans live in counties or districts called “Che-Odan” which average between 1 – 1.3 million in size. In these counties there are smaller villages called “Punkio” with residents between 20,000-25,000 in size. These villages are well diverse and acclimated throughout the four continents of Blue Glease. With a total Gleasean population of about 100 million, these communities are extremely spread out. They are self-sustaining and seek very little from each other in the way of need and can connect and communicate with such ease due to technology. That over time these communities have found a better, more fruitful life living simply and isolated rather then congested. Being more isolated with the ability to harness technology, but not depend on it, allows Gleaseans to connect with the planet and the Duba Caw which in turns helps Gleaseans be more grounded and enlightened. This internal and external liberation from the technology they harness so well humbles Gleaseans. There is one central government above all of the counties. It is here where decisions that can affect all Che-Odan are made. For example, global protection. This central government is made up of people of all ages. Wisdom on Blue Glease is not determined by age, but by experience and maturity. Smaller decisions that only affect the individual counties are delegated to the smaller governments dwelling in them. This one central government known as the “Nakwnan” and averages one hundred delegates and meets twice a year unless called into action due to emergency. Diet – As stated before, most Gleaseans live on a pescatarian diet, due to the over abundance of fresh and saltwater fish. There are exceptions like the Gleaseans of the north who live isolated, or some smaller counties that live in more arid climates. These groups live either on a plant-based diet or are strictly hunters and gathers. Miscellaneous additional information – As stated before, Gleaseans have the ability to control their metabolic rate. This allows Gleaseans to manipulate their temperature and also their heart rate. This is one of the many reasons why Gleaseans rarely get sick. They can fight off infection easily and regenerate cells to heal quickly. Gleaseans family dynamic is different than that of humans. There is no such construct as marriage. And the bond of mating to procreate is endowed by the Duba Caw. Everyone in Gleasean society learns as they come into adulthood their role in society. Not every female and male feel the need or want to procreate. But for those who do, they do not feel it is of need to do so with the same female and male partners at all times. Many females have different children fathered by different males. When a female bears a child with a male, the male understands it is their responsibility to take care of and provide for that child to help with their development and growth. It is not the male’s responsibility to take care and provide for the mother of their child. This does not mean that there are not closed relationships in Gleasean society. It just simply means that open relationships are common. Sexual relationships outside of procreation are common in society. It is common for Gleaseans to share sexual experiences with each other with no strings attached. Gleasean society feels that sexual experiences are a commonplace animalistic desire. It is a sharing of energy between two consenting beings and helps build a stronger bond in all relationships. Gleaseans do not participate in incestual relationships.
