The Aelfar are the dominant species of the Traxis Domain and presumably native to Gelfaar a world orbiting a binary star.
Biology[]
Aelfar were tall black-skinned humanoids. They possessed luminous purple eyes and sharp features, framed by the long white tendrils which grew from their heads and hung down their backs. Aelfar possessed sharp ivory teeth set within dark red gums.
In comparison to humans Aelfar were a tough species, able to endure immense trauma.
Aelfar were essentially hermaphroditic, but were divided into three genders male, female, or nurse.
Nurses, were females could nurse their young. And breeders were those who could not. Nurses and breeders could bear children, and with advances in technology nurses were no longer required by all families to rear the young, yet they still retained a large measure of popularity and influence from those who demanded nothing but the finest care for their families. Nurses were easily identified based on their large breasts.
Culture[]
The Aelfar are the most seen species in the Seven Galaxies, and the undisputed rulers of the Traxis Domain.
They also appear to hold a reverence to an entity known as Atriaxis.
Their language is known as High Aelfar.
Slavery[]
The Aelfar practiced slavery, with humans considered a slave race within their territory. Due to humanity’s enslavement, they are regarded by the Aelfar and majority of other intelligent races as vermin. More often they were mostly seen little better than animals either served as pets, zoo animals or sex slaves. Most humans were born on breeder colonies and given designations in lieu of actual names.
Human females were sold rather than kept as labor or breeding stock, destined for an unpleasant life of sexual servitude, usually with people who had unusual tastes.
Human slaves were not given many liberties, and were often seen leashed by their masters in public.
A few humans were granted freedom by the rare compassionate Aelfar, existed though most were of the commoners who shared more moderate views of equality than the decadent aristocrats. Those humans that were freed they were often met with hostility by more traditional Aelfar within the Traxis Domain.
Due to humanity’s mistreatment it has begun to ferment a rising human movement of freedom fighters led by a former human slave known as Rana, that seeks to overturn the current system in the name of freedom for her species. Though her vision of freedom means employing the same horrible fate of the Aelfar, by viciously experimenting on Aelfar to create weapons against the alien imperialists, becoming just as bad if not worse.
