AuktYon - Homba

Species:Arthockle.  Heavy, sturdy, slow-moving people.  Hide toughens over limbs, back and head to the point of being leather armor.  Four limbs, six very dextrous claws on each hand and larger, rounded claws on feet.  Flat, crushing teeth.

Diet: Fresh hide or bone, including hair; berries, mushrooms and similar fungi, small amphibians, grains.

Temperament: Stoic.  Reluctant to show mood or allow it to be changed.  difficult to stir to one cause or another.  Most keep opinions, beliefs, and considerations to themselves, and act on things that have been decided upon. 

Planet: Hrompitchu.  A place of great fertile potential, rich in resources and nutrients that are usually buried by the elements shortly after being exposed by them. Seasons are erratic and not dependable.  Most animal and plant life have the ability to hibernate.

Deity: It Wheezes Crystals of Ice.  A long-bodies, blunt faced entity with features similar to the Arthockles.  Changes size and is most commonly visible as a ring erratically circling the planet, coughing up shards of ice that form narrow rings. Faverotisim is gaining popularity.

Assimilation: Good.  Massive planetary terrascapers have been imported to make sections of Heff more tolerable, evidently to no protest of the gods.  Slonts make willing and ambitious laborers so long as they’re given their space and are readily hired into off-planet positions. Seldom involves itself directly in the affairs of its people.

Space Program: Many races are attracted to the goods that can be exported from the planet, but few have the biology to withstand its harsh and unpredictable conditions.  A high demand has evolved for Hrompitchuan top-grade materials, which are collected from farms, mines etc. commissioned by other races but employing Arthockles almost exclusively.  Production rates are erratic as all employees drop everything and hibernate when the weather dictates, good business be damned, and so demand and prices are high.

Homba: It's difficult to tell exactly what sort of person Homa is because he is as withdrawn and quiet as all his kind.  Planet life has ingrained the need to stay practical in his mind and he is always putting survival at the forefront of his activities.  Makes decisions and acts on them without discussion, labors without complaint.
