Yul hold unique technologies comparable only to human science in the field of biology. They have mastered their own biostructure and tempered their environment to suit them best. However, through pursuing this biological goal, they have very little knowledge in areas such as nuclear physics and such 20th-21st century human discoveries.
Yul hold no strong faith to any divine power, though it is a point made in many elder meetings that divine power may be a possibility. The only recognised power outside of their own is that of their creators, an ancient race said to be descendants from their home planets neighbour. Their constellation is scattered with evidence of their existence, though no data has been uncovered as to their science or society.
Yul are an extremely neutral party to both the human and coalition. The Elder council refuses to hide the universe from its people, thus the race is scattered among allegiances, beliefs and enemies. However, Yul have an extremely adhesive cultural connection, they are all ultimately of the same race and thus of the same people's
Despite this openness, no other interstellar race has set foot on Yulxiz, their home world. All business and communication is conducted upon the ‘Bhalthar’, a moon sized space station in artificial orbit of Yulxiz. Access is allowed for diplomats and traders for the most part, but citizens of the galaxy who prove to be useful for their professions are also admitted access. It is rumoured that to touch Yulxiz Earth is to be marked for death.
Yul live underground on their mother planets as the surface is less than malleable for growth and expansion. As such their activities are unknown and theories circulate as to their intents for the other races. It is said they have a specimen of every race in Yulxiz biological bays. Coalition propaganda has gone as far as to say they know the anti-material sequence for every race they encounter.
Yul are mysterious and many cultures harbor superstitions towards them, in fear and awe alike, little is known so assumptions are made.
+Intimidation and deception bonus.
+Charismatic influence bonus for races with intelligence of four or less.
Yul blood is biologically sequenced to maintain liquid structure and fluidity while inside the Yul anatomy and circulation system. Once it exits the body it becomes gaseous and in most cases toxic for other organisms.
+When Yul are injured, the atmosphere around them becomes toxic. Causes nausea and internal damage to creatures with a constitution of three or less. Damages most biological structures (EG eyes and skin) over time, no matter the constitution score.
The muscular tail of the Yul, usually curled up beside the spine for protection, can be used to balance during many tasks and activity.
+Bonus to balance during acrobatic and athletic activities.
+Reduction in recoil when the tail can be deployed as a counterbalance.
.
Yul have evolved to scale uneven terrain and rocky environments, as such they cannot swim.
-Disadvantaged in aquatic environments.
Concussive impacts such as grenades and direct connection with the upper forehead disorient Yul completely as their frontal lobe is surrounded by a semi-flexible cartilage that can pressure the brain if shifted too suddenly.
-Weakness to concussive attacks.
Yul, while intelligent, do not express themselves through speech or written language, thus have no verbal capability and a very limited capacity for writing/reading.
- Disadvantage when reading languages.
- Unable to speak.
- Must purchase a ULS interpreter pad to speak or read.
+ Can communicate through atmospheric chemicals with each other.
While the Yul tail can be useful, during movement in enclosed or narrow places, it can proves to be a hindrance.
-disadvantage to Dex in small spaces.
If open wounds are left for too long a Yul must rest and heal as their body undergoes a detoxifying process.
-wounds must be tended to quickly to maintain normal activities.
- healing can take up to and exceeding a full day of theta wave sleep.
