The Teltior
« on: December 27, 2009, 06:09:54 PM »
INFO: The Teltiors were a tall humanoid race. They were closely related to the Meris, who also hailed from the planet Merisee in the Meris system.

Some Teltiors were associated with the Cult of Those Who Redeem, though others were part of the Loag cult of assassins.


RACE: Teltiors
HEIGHT: 1.7 to 1.8 Meters Tall
SKIN: Pale blue to dark blue or black
DISTINCTION: Vestigial tail, 3 fingers on each hand, greater manual dexterity
LANGUAGE: Teltoir

HOMEWORLD:
Merisee (pronounced /Mer-uh-see/) was an agriworld in the Elrood Sector, located along the Elrood-Derilyn Run, and was known the "breadbasket" for the entire sector. First contact between the indigenous Meris and Teltiors occurred in 8,000 BBY, and the two races fought a war for most of the next millennium, from 7,700 – 7,000 BBY. The planet was discovered by the New Republic but did not ally itself with the government.

BIOLOGY AND APPEARANCE:
The Teltiors are a tall humanoid race native to Merisee in Elrood sector. They share their world with the Meris. The Teltiors have pale-blue to dark-blue or black skin. They have a prominent vestigial tail and three-fingered hands. The three fingers have highly flexible joints, giving the Teltiors much greater manual dexterity than many other species. Teltiors traditionally wear their hair in long ponytails down the back, although many females shave their heads for convenience.

CULTURE AND HISTORY:
The Teltiors have shown a greater willingness to spread from their homeworld than the Meris, and many have found great success as traders and merchants. Although the Teltiors don't like to publicly speak of this, there are also many quite successful Teltior con men, including the infamous Ceeva, who bluffed her way into a high-stakes sabacc game with only 500 credits to her name. She managed to win the entire Unnipar system from Archduke Monlo of the Dentamma Nebula.
