Lithan (OU)

Lithans are a species of humanoid beings, native to Cumulus IX. Lithans are notably more intelligent than humans, and also have a far stronger psychic ability, with almost all lithans being able to communicate telepathically, as well as move objects telekinetically.

History
Lithans are suspected to have evolved from humans that found their way to the Gaia Star Cluster over 2 million years ago. The Elder Dragons that inhabited the system were benevolent, and lithan interaction with the creatures caused latent psychic powers to come to the fore. Lithan civilisation that resembles the current culture started 1,300,000, with the formation of The Fall of Cluster Empire. Almost all lithans belong to The Fall; very few lithans have ever even left the Gaia Star Cluster.

Biology
Lithans are humanoid; tall, slender and pale, with brightly coloured hair. Lithans possess a crest; a gem set into the forehead that channels psychic energy and is coloured according to the Lithan's eye colour. Lithans possess an internal membrane that provides support for their organs during high-g manoeuvres, necessary because of lithans high agility and speed.

The average height for a lithan male is 190cm, and for females it is 175. The average weight for a healthy male lithan is around 80kg, and for females, 60kg.

Lithans reach puberty at the age of 20 earth years, reach maturity at 35, adulthood lasts from 35-80, old age from 80-120. The oldest lithan to ever live was Daikan, who was reportedly 142 when he died.

Habitat and Population
There are an estimated 3,000,000,000 lithans currently living in The Fall, with another 1,000,000 living outside of The Fall's rule.

Lithans tend to live in desert climates, where sparse vegetation is present; lithans are omnivorous, but those under The Fall are almost exclusively vegetarian.

Culture and Psychology
Lithans are incredibly intelligent, with an average IQ of around 170. Lithans generally adore intellectual stimulation, and will grow bored and restless without some form of education or activity to keep them occupied.

Lithans are easily able to telecommunicate, and most have some telekinetic ability.

Lithans tend to have a high value for the sanctity of life, trying to aid those in distress where possible.

Lithans are peace-loving, and there has only been one war in the entirety of lithan history- The Form of The Fall saw a small dispute on Celesti, but it lasted 2 Gaia years and was quickly resolved, with only 223 recorded deaths.
