Brutius
The Four Armed Warriors
The Tagotan Musclera (Brutius) is a large, powerful species native to the planet Y'slan. With their powerful builds, they were warriors and conquerors of their home planet, but after Zagara abducted them, they were permanently relocated to Elil. They are one of the most plentiful races that can be found on Elil and are one of the 11 most documented races on Elil. They are known to have a rigid tribal structure with an emphasis on both tradition and music in their culture and people.
Basic Information
Anatomy
The Brutius Race is a red-skinned, bipedal mammal race. It has two heavily muscled legs that support a much broader body with four immense arms. Due to their top heavy nature Brutius commonly walk like gorillas, using their top two arms for pertaining tasks.. Although its mouth is similar to humans', its canines are much larger, with their bottoms almost tusklike compared to humans. This tends to give them a prominent underbite.
Genetics and Reproduction
The Brutius race breeds via sexual reproduction, Requiring both a male and a female. The children of Brutiuses will incubate in a female Brutius's womb, growing over a span of several months.
Growth Rate & Stages
The lifespan of a brutius was on average around 40 years on their homeplanet, but due to the less brutal lifestyle of Elil, it seems that their lifespan is increasing. Though their maturity rate is still the same, at around 12 years of age. Though in brutius culture, you are not considered an adult until you turn 15, and hunt your first prey.
Ecology and Habitats
The planet of Y’slan was brutal and unforgiving and had extreme environments at all corners of its globe. The Brutius often located themselves in mountainous terrain near placid grasslands or in the vast jungles around their world. Though the Brutius did conquer every corner of its planet, they still stayed in their more comfortable areas. Much like Gorillas and other Apes, Brutius like swinging and being high up. Not only that, but they are pack based and hate to be solitary. Due to this, Brutius cities used to be large dome-like structures with tons and tons of homes built at any elevation of both the inside and outside with streetlamps and other decorations thick enough for Brutius to climb and Swing from.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Brutius are omnivorous but lean towards carnivorous due to their increased need for protein to keep up their immense musculature.
Biological Cycle
As Brutius gets older and older with no competition or danger, they become frailer and weaker similar to that of a Human, but unlike Humans, age does not always mean growing weaker. Brutius with stress, trail, and other dangers tend to get stronger and stronger as they grow older. They may physically look aged but their skin becomes nigh unbreakable, muscles continue to grow, and bones reinforce instead of Atrophy. A wound on a brutius is never a detriment for long and only moves to strengthen it.
Additional Information
Average Intelligence
The Brutius's despite their looks are not a stupid race and have an IQ level of 85-100 reaching the early space age in 2 Millennium since the start of their civilizations. They are very clever hunters proven by the fact their prehistoric hunting tactics still hold up in their modern military structure.
Civilization and Culture
Major Organizations
One of the most major Organizations within Brutius society is The New Age.
Average Technological Level
The Brutius had a civilization that was teetering upon the space age- ready to send their first rocket to the moon when Zagara attacked. Now they have been reduced to a civilization based upon tribalism losing much of their identity as they slay the wild Zagara beasts as a tribal race.
Common Etiquette Rules
Though Brutius's commonly stand on their feet and knuckles, in the Presence of a chief or other person of importance it is always respectful to stand straight up upon your legs.
Common Customs, Traditions and Rituals
Right of Passage
One of the biggest customs of the Brutius even carrying over from their homeworld is their rights of passage. Every Brutius knows some basic form of craftsmanship as once a Brutius hits the age of 12 their father and them will go out collecting materials to craft their first ever set of armor. Months prior their father would be teaching them crafting methods leading to this great trial amongst Brutius culture. This armor will be the armor that will be worn once they turn of age. At 15 when a Brutius comes of age in their tribe or society they are sent upon their first hunt alone. They are expected to find a beast of equal challenge, strike it down, and return with the carcass of the prey where a great feast is held in the honor of the child. In some cultures the dinners is the beast they hunt encouraging the children to kill large prey, in other cultures the beast is cooked and served amongst the child and father.Music
Music was cherished in Brutius tradition. One of the greatest jobs besides the chief was the Battle Musician. A musician that plays music for their soldiers and civilians and weaving stories at events or anytime. Closest to the chief himself was a Battle Musician that would grant advice and bring joy to a chief. In modern society a battle musician is a highly respected tradition to the Brutius and have happily taken to Elil's wide variety of music.History
The Brutius were born upon the world of Y'slan growing from water based creatures that settled in rocky environments. They grew with their early lifeforms consisting of Mega Fauna averaging the size of elephants. This was the case for the land, water, and sky. The Mountains were natural protection from the animals and the Brutius's grew content with their living spaces around the world. They formed close knit hunting clans but as time went on they went from the mountains to the plains always sticking close to their homes. At one point domesticating large terror bird like animals known as Kumanchala.
The Brutius developed with a rich warrior history valuing Masculinity, Music, Hunting, and Craftsmanship. They kept much of their history alive and traditions as they grew into farming towns to large cities much like a modern first world country. Sadly it all fell apart when one nation launched their first Brutius onto the moon. They lost contact as a massive vessel appeared within the orbit of their world belonging to the Queen of all Thetasites, Zagara. The Brutius people retreated back to the mountains where for years they fended off the invasion of Zagara. Before long the world was in ruins. Great cities crumbled to ash and all the progress made was reduced back to the stone age.
