Cardali – Fallback, i.e human. Dena Raeltian – Species name Terrena Adjutor – Name most adopted upon settling on Earth *Height: 7'0-7'5 *Lifespan: Varied

*these stats are average Personality: The Cardali are a peaceful people, they have been around for a very long time and are not partial to the use of force or violence to get what one wants. They believe all living creatures in the universe are of importance and should be treated with respect and care.

Very few Cardali are known to be aggressive, but it's not unheard of, many of which are only so in order to protect something they earnestly care about.

Appearance:

Looking into the eyes of a Cardali is a lot like looking into a night time sky, they are dark and seem almost empty. Upon closer look, one can see the stars themselves sprinkled around like a thousand tiny pupils. They inhabit bodies that look as though they were taken from the cosmos and arranged into living beings, they have skin like the void peppered with stars and galactic swirls (such marks are known as their “birthmarks”)

Cardali possess bioluminescence in their joints, hands, feet, and birthmarks.

Like the eyes and birthmarks, the hair is also a constellation of stars to behold on it's own.

Cardali are a shapeshifting bunch, they are able to take on the form of most any species they've come into physical contact with – The form they take on is exclusively original to them and them alone, no Cardali is capable of taking on the exact appearance of another person. Wherever the galactic swirls or stars are located on their body is where they will have odd marks on whatever form they take, these marks are also highlighted by the color they are in their natural form.

Homeworld: The planet itself was large with expansive fields that stretched over most of it's two continents, nights were longer than the day time, one Cardali night was often the equivalent of one week on Earth. The sun burnt brilliantly, for what little of the day that it did, the Cardali were not much accustomed to it's brightness, but they appreciated it just like they did the moons and any other star in the solar system.

The nights were cold as they were long, and the days were short spurts of warmth that spread over the land just long enough to give them something to miss when the sun was gone. Language: Focal'Raeltian –  As they were a peaceful people there was no need to have territorial disputes, Focal'Raeltian was the language that was spoken globally. Dialects did vary from ones location, but there was nothing too severely different that couldn't be deciphered with some good patience.

They are capable of learning new language, and a lot of them are very eager to do so. They are very social creatures, and will go through any means to socialize with new people.

Intelligence and Emotional Capacity: Cardali are a very quick to learn people, they are typically fast learners and are often caught teaching what they'd just learned to the next person. Knowledge is very important in Cardali society.

As stated before they will go to any lengths to reach out and contact other races. They cherish friendships like they cherish the stars in the sky. They don't usually take on mates, but on the rare occasion that they do the love they share for that significant burns brighter than their sun. Extra: It's unknown why the Cardali left their planet, but there are many Cardali scattered throughout much of the known universe, they're really good at blending in. They become passionate about the planets that they migrate too, and begin to act as sort of guardians to the denizens of that planet. It is speculated that Cardali's have lives linked with stars, when the star linked with one burns out, they die. The stars collected from the deceased then move onto grow into small, toddler like versions of the Cardali, until eventually becoming adults themsleves one day. One death creating many lives, but these theories are neither confirmed nor denied.

Cardali will treat any and all living things as if they were the most important thing in the world. Everything is important, and everything has a purpose.
