History- The Xetno might be referred to as cat people, but that would be incorrect. However, they have grown much larger than the average human. They are on average, 7 feet tall. They walk upright on 2 legs, yet have equally as long arms. Large, furred feet and hands can be found on the end of the legs and arms. Claws can be found sprouting out of the end of those feet and hands, however they are not sharp. Their main function is to dig into soft snow or ground, as well as providing friction and grip on surfaces like ice, depending on the race. They are covered in dense fur, due to the conditions of the planet. They have large upright ears sticking out of the top of their head, with the kind of brilliant hearing that would go with it. Their noses are on the end of snouts, and have increased sense of smell. Sharp teeth can be found inside of their mouths. They have tails sprouting out from where the tail bones on a human would appear. The tail can be controlled, yet also moves unconsciously. Similar to how a human can control their breathing when trying, but when not focused on it, it regulates. The tails move based on the individuals mood and attitude, but can be controlled during activities to affect balance and movement. They can be used as a weapon to launch attacks or to also defend. They can be used in any manner, almost as another arm. Xetno eyesight is equal to that of a human. Their reproductive manners, are also the same of that of a human, yet are scaled up to match their increased size.
Physiology wise, they are 40% better than a human on average. Stronger, faster, more agile, etc.
Due to these changes, nature has made it more difficult for them to reproduce. Birthrates are low, and their population does not see any major boosts. It is still recovering from the Great war that happened over 500 years ago. With the population only recovering about 25% of which was lost. This is one of the reasons why the Xetno are peaceful. They know that they cannot sustain long wars or conflict. The war lasted over 50 years.
The true nature of the Xetno has been lost to them. Before the Great War, it had been said that a sentient race of aliens already inhabited the planet. That their species soon combined. However, that knowledge was held and distributed by the government. The government tried to enslave the people, take full control. The people fought back and a Great War started. Anything the government had told the people, was rejected as propaganda. So many customs, traditions, and knowledge of the Xetno past, was lost. Burned and destroyed upon the fall of the evil government.
Now, it is said that the Xetno had always been on this planet. Evolution and adaption changing them as needed. Learning from the mistakes of the past, the Xetno have become a very peaceful species. Everyone is equal, regardless. Crimes are dealt with harshly, no matter how trivial. Ironically, the leaders are known to be strong and leaders of war. The first leader after the Great War being the leader of the revolt. The “Alpha” as she is know known, is expected to lead the military from the battlefield in times of conflict.
Due to the conditions of the planet, a few races have been developed due to adapting similar characteristics based on geography.
Hets: A race of Xetno found closer to the equator of the planet. The least dense amount of fur of the 3 races. Very dull claws. Darker colors of fur.
Galds: A Race of Xetno found in the more intermediate regions of the planet, half way from the equator to the poles. Moderate amount of fur, with a large variation in colors and hue. Sharper claws than a Het, but not as sharp as the Zuc.
Zucs: A race of Xetno found closest to the poles. Extremely dense fur, with larger deposits of fat on their bodies due to the extreme climate. Light colors of fur, with a large concentration of white. Sharpest claws of the races, used for traction on ice or hard ground, yet not sharp enough to really cut. They aren’t used as weapons.
Culture- A Polygamous people, love knows no bounds. The gender, race, etc of partners is not under scrutiny. Very peaceful species due to low birth rates. No large population of lower class people, do to the abundance of work. The harshness of the planet, means work is always available doing something. Hunting is the way most find food. A large abundance of invasive wildlife can be found off the planet, and almost all can be used for food, so hunting is very popular. A very honorable species, they often recall valiant stories from the Great War. Often in songs or artwork, heroes of the revolt are depicted in taking down the evil government.
Even though they are at peace since the great war, They maintain a large focus on strength and honor. The length of the war, caused many to became accustomed to the ways of fighting and the like. They often stage mock battles and war games to mimic the glorious actions of the freedom fighters that won them their independence from the evil government.
Dominant race- The most Dominant race is the Hets. Being located in the largest cities, in the most habitable areas of the planet, they have the majority of the population. 50% are Hets, 35% are Galds, and 15% are Zucs. Due to their hunting roots, Xetno are taught to have no fear from a young age.
Population- 7 Million
Religion- None
Type of government- Democratic Monarchy (A queen rules the nation as the highest position of power. However, each district has 2 representatives elected to a congress.

The Queen does not need approval from Congress to deploy the military.)

Planet name- Xoulia (A large and extremely unforgiving arctic climate across the whole planet. Think Hoth. More intense on the poles, and milder near the equator, the temperature never climbs above 45 Degrees Fahrenheit. While at the poles, the average is -50 degrees Fahrenheit. Even the Xetno stay away from the poles, yet they inhabit areas moderately close where the average is -30 degrees Fahrenheit.
Leader- Prazieh. She is 25 years old and a female. An exceptional warrior Queen. Her expertise in combat is famous, as well as her beauty. It is said, that not a person on the planet can look at her and resistance the urge to blush or swoon.
She wears armor that matches the red in her fur. Her ornamental armor consists of what would appear to be a war maiden's armor. A Breast plate leaving her midriff exposed, and Leg armor covering to Mid thigh. Boots raising to mid calf, and a tiara that sits on her forehead. An Ornamental sword of the most beautiful design is in a scabbard on her left side, while a beautifully crafted handgun is holstered on her right. All matching her armor and fur.
