The Creons are a humanoid species who developed an advanced civilization as of the 21st century.
Biology[]
They have brown skin covered in spots, three fingers and a thumb, and two widely placed eyes on a noseless face. Creons have big eyes that are able to twirled about stereoscopically giving them excellent vision with incredible depth perception and clarity. And thanks to their ability to manipulate their eyes, they have 360 degree vision.
They also have red blood. Creons appear to have the same family structures as Humans, such as having sisters and grandfathers. An illness known as Creon Fever is highly contagious and deadly to Earth dogs.
Creons are omnivores, though their diet seems to include insects. Creons are capable of consuming Earth foods, and drink a form of coffee that can give humans the squints.
History[]
The Creons evolved on the world of Danae in the Mentorn System. Danae was an agricultural world but slowly became poor after millennia of being overworked. The need for new worlds to populate their species prompted the Creons to develop FTL space travel. Around this time, the Tarn from Simter that inhabited a neighboring system also developed FTL space travel to also escape their resource poor world. The two species would have first contact on the world of Altor in the Epsilon Eridani system. Rather than fight over the right to colonize the planet, both races decided to cooperate and colonize it together for prosperity.
The period would begin the Great Emigrations as both races left their world to populate fertile Altor.
At some point in their history they fought in conflicts known as the Thalassic Wars against a race called the Sentrans. During the wars the Sentrans used a device called a Sentric mind probe on Creon prisoners to gain vital strategic information.
The Creons were involved in another bloody war with the Ka-llan in 2020. Though the conflict lasted only seven days until a peace treaty was established.
A number of them work for the Demeter City police force on the planet Altor in the Epsilon Eridani system in the year 2040.
Culture[]
Creon were a hardworking people by habit and persuasion. Like humans their ancestors were hunter-gatherers originally, but later in their cultural development learned to till the soil and built up their bogs and devoted themseves to agricultural thing.
Creons were identified as having a stronger police force on their homeworld due to their more violent natures. Their police force traditionally has been male-dominant. Additionally they have a strong sense of ritual, and are very keen on doing things their own way and dislike having routines upset, particularly by non-Creons. Creons can be extremely superstitious and fear of breaking centuries of established old traditions of their race.
In regards to funerary rites, Creon plant burial trees in remembrance to the dead.
