#vurk

More profiles! I would say I had the most fun with Skreg but the first time I finished him, I hadn't saved my progress and Sai fucking crashed:) So I had to re-draw him from the ground up:) At least the second time was quicker since I remembered what to do.

Part one here

Sembla, formerly known as Utavurk, was a planet located in Mahrusha sector within the Outer Rim Territories. It was the homeworld of the Vurk, including Jedi Master Coleman Trebor. Sembla had four moons, which kept it tidally and tectonically active, and its terrain was made up of shallow seas and volcanic islands. The planet was located far from any major trade routes and as such, was rarely traveled to. However, the Galactic Empire established a research base on the world and also pressed native Vurk as cheap labor in strip-mining operations.

Like their ancient predecessors, Vurks maintained a semi-nomadic existence on Sembla, avoiding the establishment of permanent settlements. Vurks formed communities based on a shared set of philosophical values, as well as selected homes based on the world's seasons. Unique to the Vurk way of life was the system of dividing the community based on needs and desires of the mind, more so than competition for resources. When it came time for a village to move on, individuals would abandon family more times than not, to join a new village or start their own alongside friends and acquaintances to form a more perfect society. This process was repeated often, making it highly likely that an adult Vurk would come to live among several successful communities over a lifetime.

While much of the galaxy considered the Vurk a primitive culture, the species was actually guided by an advanced meritocratic social structure. They were very intelligent and believed in a highly developed philosophical tradition that emphasized personal integrity and individual freedom and encouraged personal honesty. Their compassionate and calm manner made them better than average diplomats. An individual's status was determined by their own accomplishments and reputation, and discussion of one's deeds was a vital part of community engagement. While non-Vurk often interpreted this practice as gossip or bragging, Vurks encouraged heated debate and admired differing opinions. Out of these discussions arose a set of loose rules and laws which governed the temporary community; those who could not abide would move on to find a village which was more compatible with their worldview. This constant debate over morality and philosophy was not indicative of ill-tempered savages. Instead, the Vurks viewed their culture as one in which the constant interrogation of their own beliefs made them more in tune with ethics then other cultures who did not encourage introspection.

The debate over the acceptability of violence was one that was negotiated case-by-case. Across Vurk society, however, almost all individuals agreed that murder in all forms except euthanasia, was wrong. Out of this belief came the Stricture of Violence, which encouraged continuous debate of views, rather then the cessation of disagreement through the ending of a life.

Young Vurk males were married off by their parents; those who failed to marry before reaching adulthood remained bachelors for the rest of their lives.

Vurks were cold-blooded, and benefited greatly from the tropical climate of Sembla. When offworld in colder climates, or aboard spacecraft, Vurk had adapted to survive, but still felt some level of discomfort. To alleviate this, Vurks were often seen garbed in heavy fabrics on cooler worlds, drinking hot beverages, and utilizing meditation and warm baths.

Vurks are tall, reptilian amphibians with leathery gray-green skin. Their eyes are dark and set deep in their faces. A long crest extends up and back from a Vurk's skull. A Vurk has two long, thick fingers and an opposable thumb on each hand.

A typical Vurk male stands at 2.1 meters or 6.8 feet tall and weighs 90 kilograms or 198 pounds, while a typical Vurk female stands at 1.9 meters or 6.2 feet tall and weighs 85 kilograms or 187 pounds.

The Vurk's protruding head crest is similar in appearance to the head crest of the hadrosaurid Parasaurolophus. MAD Magazine satirically referred to the Vurk as "shoehorns".

Coleman Trebor was a Vurk Jedi Master with a seat on the Council at the beginning of the Clone Wars. Somewhat of a celebrity among Jedi, as both the only one of his species serving the Order and because of his daring successes, Trebor was considered to be a prime example of a well-rounded Jedi.
