Race Name: Odylann(O-dil-on)
Summary: The Odylann are a booming but war-torn race. They are ambitious and are growing in size and power rapidly, their technology is constantly on the rise, and they are catching up to other races after being devastated. And part of being powerful is being, well, asshole-ish. They employ slavery to a maximum degree, treating their workers as dirt, however it is working for them. Many of them run large businesses, most either shady or violent. Some have attempted to set a justice system in place but it failed; most of it is either corruption or ambition. The most powerful families feud even now, though instead of guns their weapons are now words.
History: They were originally an impoverished society, living in filth and decay. Crime was rampant and there were no laws or enforcers to prevent it. Originally, the Odylann were lucky if they themselves were slaves; most of them had to scrape out a living doing even less savory things. There were an abundance of power struggles and civil wars. Hundreds of thousands were killed. Most of them were either slaves or worked like one. Many worked in mines, digging for the slightest hint of coal, which was the race's only source of income. In contrast, a few of the lucky ones had been born into rich families that had remained neutral throughout the civil wars, or even won. They lived lushly and in decadence while the rest starved. It was a dark time that still leaves a mark on them. Even now they are violent and corrupt; however, this stems from only one thing, and that's ambition. Many of them dreamed to drag themselves out of the pit they were in, and one finally struck gold. An illegal fringe mining company was searching for nearby places where mining was good. Many coal mines had already been established in the area and the mining company was looking for one. So they set up a mine and sent their workers out to dig. One worker dug deeper than he was supposed to and discovered something in the magma; a precious, thus-unidentified metal. It was examined and found to be even harder than diamond, and flexible to boot. Immediately several industries started to dig deeper and found a thick layer of the stuff at the bottom of the planet's crust, everywhere. They had struck gold. It was dangerous to mine(if you weren't careful you could burn to death doing it) but it was a booming industry for body armor and whatnot. The Odylann became an extremely rich society, though still torn by violence. Now several companies and families vie for power while the slaves work, mining the precious metal for them.
Personality: Though, obviously, exceptions do exist, the average Odylann is industrious, jaded, ambitious, easily corrupted or tempted, and selfish.
Physical Description: Tall and muscular, with cracked black skin. Some have yellow eyes, some have red. Most have a short cropping of reddish, whitish, or yellowish hair growing from their head. Their eyes are like that of a cat's. Their teeth are almost all blunt and herbivorous, though some have a few sharp canines. Long, thin fingers.
Technology: Their technology is average, however they are especially good at mining and weaponry. It is quickly growing and should be advanced soon, though. Their only weak spot in technology is homes and societies; they focus less on creature comforts and more on simple, sweet success.
Personal Strengths: They are physically strong and resistant to both the heat and the cold.
Personal Weaknesses: Odylanns see in only black and white, no color, meaning they can easily be snuck up on. They have terrible eyesight and nearly nothing to compensate.
Society Strengths: Quickly growing, rich, and powerful.
Society Weaknesses: Corrupt and war-torn.
