RACE:
Dapulus

BRIEF BACKSTORY:
The Dapulus people live upon the planet Chaoterra. Chaoterra is located only 70,000,000 miles from their solar system’s sun. A single day measures to nearly only half of an Earth day and the gravity is increased by half. However the planet itself is nearly four times the size of Earth. Despite the high temperatures, heavier gravity, and constant pulse of radiation from the near sun life thrives almost limitlessly. Each living organism actually depends on all of this to survive. The very biology of the Dapulus people is chaotic in nature and depends on the constant pulses of radiation to survive.

75% of the planet is made up of water while the rest is land, ranging from sprawling forest jungles, wide open planes, to suffocating deserts this planet has every biome Earth possesses. However, only ten percent lighter than Earth’s, oxygen is the dominating breathable gas. Animals, vegetation and an assortment of other edible resources make up for day to day diets that vary from nation to nation.

Instead of technologically advance sciences, advances are made through the arcane. Specifically the Divine Arcane which dominates most of the social, political and economic structures of day to day life. Religion is not simply a faith, but a tangible entity that all Dapulus naturally tap into. Communion with one’s God, Goddess, or a body of Divine Immortal races may happen as fluid as any other typical conversation. There is no question among these people that Chaoterra and its children are watched over by higher beings.

A purely noticeable side-effect of this is the fact that this body of people are telepathic and can communicate mentally with one another including their immortal guides. However this is saved for other individuals in which they are intimate.

With this said, every civilized structure is solely based around the Devine Glaufide. The Glaufide is the ruling government and religious structure that teaches its people how to live, how to communicate with their Divines, and everything in between. Of course there are political differences while the government itself is similar to ‘Capitalist-Federalism.’ Economics and Religion go hand in hand and the system has proven unbreakable and nearly unflawed.

It is because of this that every nation has come together as a whole and progress has made unbelievable leaps and bounds.

Even into the stars of their universe.

Dapulus are busy colonizing planets beyond even the solar system they live in. It was because of this they stumbled upon a portal that led into Sigil. On a newly discovered planet with seemingly derelict portals… Choked with deserted layers of cities this gateway planet to the City of Doors has opened a new opportunity. Enabling them to explore even further than space and time itself by slipping through realms!


BRIEF DAPULUS PHYSICAL OVERVIEW:
Average life span ranges from 200 – 350 (Earth) years.
Average height varies from 4 – 6 feet typically remaining on the shorter end of the spectrum.
Average weight typically stays between 150 – 220 lbs. for healthy body mass... muscle structure is very dense due to the planets gravity.

The average appearance for a Dapulus are short and appear lithe however their muscle mass is condensed due to the planets gravitational pull. Being very nimble, agile, quick, and extremely intelligent. Being telepathic they communicate mentally and rarely speak aloud however they do have a verbal language which resembles a combination of modern German and Latin. There are varying accents and languages but the most commonly spoke language is Angrache.

Nationalities, skin colors, lifestyles, forms of worship, cultures, all the way to entertainment and work vary from region to region. There is plenty of diversity but for the most part it all remains cohesive. There is no limit to skin color, patterns, or eye color… except for glowing eyes it is rare to find two identical commonalities between Dapulus. There are some with scaled skin, feathers, all the way to near soft skin resembling human features.

The face itself looks very similar to humans except that the features themselves are more soft and rounded. There is a sort of natural beauty about them, however their hair grows in much more thick and only grows either on their face(men typically) and head but it is not uncommon to see a completely hairless Dapulus. Flat Kofauda, or head tails form from just from the temple and resemble a flower pedal. Extremely decorative patterns naturally form on the Kofauda. These patterns signify a person’s health, mental stability, emotion, and plenty of other mental factors and the key physical attribute these peoples use as physical attraction. If upset a Dapulus can inflate the Kofauda to make their point more clear and the colors and patterns on them become more defined.

Horns or horn like antler may also grow from the scalp, face and the rest of the body. As stated previously, these people are extremely varied in appearance.

Similar to humans they have fingers on their hands, and toes on their feet. However, they only have three fingers and a thumb while the middle finger works very similarly to the thumb. Instead of nails there are flat yet rounded claws which help for grip. As unique as they may be, none have tails or wings as they descended directly from aquatic life. None have gills or possess the ability to breath under-water, webbed feet or hands as most of their aquatic ancestry has been evolved out of and replaced for surface survival.

Brief Biography
Adalexa or Lexa for short is by far one of the more common girl next door types when compared to other Dapulus. Though her body is well endowed and fit, it hardly stands out in comparison. There is a warm and cheery aura about her, with soft facial features, simples while she smiles and stunning crystal blue eyes could make her simple beauty stand out from the diva’s that make up her people. However all of these features are hidden while she lives within Sigil. A very sophisticated and magically advance, leather and metal plated suit is the very thing keeping her alive. Within this suit the radiation that would naturally “bleed” from her is kept within and monitored at all times. Lighter oxygen is filtered through her respirator system as not to get choked by denser air. Though the visor may be completely transparent, she typically keeps it tinted as a personal preference.

Resembling a sort of Nun esque appearance it becomes obvious that she is a sort of religious pilgrim and not from any of the typical travelers that frequent Sigil. Her accent is extremely thick and has resemblances to Earth’s Latin and French accents. Even though it is thick, it is easy to discern what she is saying as her common language on her planet is very similar to common English though the written language and alphabet are extremely different. Actually, the written language is its own entity all together.

The entire suit is form fitting, none of the plates or pads of armor restrict movement in any way while the long cowl which drapes over the helmet is strictly decorative and can be tied aside easily. No part of her flesh shows and only her glowing eyes are hinted at peering out from behind the tinted visor.

Lexa’s voice is naturally petite and friendly by nature and nothing about her appearance is intimidating. Everything about the suit, the armor, and even helmet are done in a non-hostile neutral way. Decorative designs are etched into the plates of armor and very decorative patterns blanket her cowl.

The entire theme of the outfit is done in shades of dark and light blues. Lights flicker all over her uniform identifying that every part is interconnected and used as a life-system. While there are several decorations, upon closer inspection it can be deciphered that the designs are magical runes.

Needless to say she has a Divine Aura.

With that said the only real unique feature about her is a sort of divine healing which can be channeled with enough focus. Though she is personally unable to communicate with her divines there is no doubt in her mind that they exist and are there for her aid when she calls upon them to use her inborn gifts. By focusing her very essence into her palms she can rapidly heal even fatal wounds in a matter of seconds but at a cost… Using any significant mental energy to channel this healing energy could put her into a sort of mental shock. The pains that are lifted from the victim are taken into her own mind. Though the injuries are not taken upon herself a piece of her spirit fuses with the person she is attempting to mend and their pain, let it be mental or physical are taken into herself for a brief period. With meditation and prayer these pains are filtered and released, if she does not meditate or pray within hours after using her gift the pains return even greater but in stages. Though the phantom pains reside after a time it is typically better to simply commune with the divines rather to suffer through.

Physically she is nearly double that to any typical human and has been trained in basic hand to hand, and fire-arms combat for personal defense but does not poses any weapons of her own as it goes against her religious practice.

Personally speaking Lexa is extremely devoted to her faith, and does her best to stay the path in everything she does, says or takes on. She is a representative of her people, and her Gods and Goddesses and does her best to make an example of them in everything she does. However being a newly graduated priestess Lexa has only been a traveling pilgrim for three years prior to arriving into Sigil. With a friendly and forgiving disposition towards almost everything she is hard to offend and has a staggeringly strong will of patience. Though she is brave and extremely curious she is completely clueless and often comes across as a complete airhead. With a very eager and willingness to learn and to advance herself as an individual is held back by an almost paralyzing shyness. With practice and training she has learned to work past it but often times struggles to move outside of her comfort zone to approach strangers or any given obstacle.
