[quote=@Monarch] 1. Common Akkabians are far too absorbed fighting each other to think about anything other than how to win against their opponents. A common Grakkan lasts for multiple days, upwards to a week, with little room to sleep and drink. Of course, the physiology of the Akkabians have adapted to this over the many years, but their minds remain as absorbed by conflict as ever. The only times they stop is when they sit in the Great Colosseum on top of the Prizarch watching over their brethren dueling in the arena over whatever Grakkan disputes it might concern, so basically when they're not fighting in the colosseum they're watching in the colosseum. High Akkabians do still not see themselves as deities, but they're sensible enough to use their venerated status to see to it that things go the way they want them to. Funnily enough, however, the High Akkabians do still see the God-Emperor as a deific entity, since he's supposedly lived for many thousands of years. Common Akkabians are not absorbed in this, instead they venerate the strongest, which for now is Hesh the Undefeated. [/quote] Hmmm. The Akkabians may just be the most combat-obsessed culture I've ever seen in a Sci-fi [quote=@Monarch] 2. The ruling caste would see them as very useful, and since the Imperium is founded on the principle of diversity with many species apart of their population, the rulership of the Akkab would not look too foreignly on the Xim. Due to their victory over the humans, they would also respect their martial prowess, even if it was a very bloody war. This is mainly because the nature of happenings are always convoluted and the victor tends to write history in their favour. [/quote] All positive, eh? Something's not right here... *is paranoid* :lol
