 ===== Psychology =====
 ==== Motivation and Emotion ====
+The annals of Animalian history are etched with tales of struggle and survival, where the doctrine of "survival of the fittest" reigned supreme, casting a shadow of fear and uncertainty over their ancestral homelands. In those harsh and unforgiving times, strength was revered above all else, and those deemed weak or vulnerable were cast aside, their fates left to the whims of a merciless world.
-In their past, they lived by the philosophy of survival of the fittest. This meant that those weak and couldn’t fight were killed, but that all changed when a wise and noble King decided to take care of things and to bring peace to this new kingdom. Now its exploration and understanding which was primarily driven by their wandering desire. They desire to explore new worlds ad seek fortune and fame elsewhere. While some may not like the peaceful neutrality of the [[shards:uns]] and so they would seek out battle elsewhere. There were some Animadae that are lazy in that they like lounging and prefer that over work, but there were members of that same Animadae that like to work.
+Yet, amidst the chaos and carnage, there arose a beacon of hope and enlightenment in the form of a wise and noble King, whose name would be whispered in reverence for generations to come. Recognizing the folly of endless conflict and bloodshed, he sought to forge a new path for his people, one built on the pillars of peace, compassion, and understanding. With wisdom and foresight, he ushered in a new era of prosperity and harmony, laying the foundation for a kingdom where all beings, regardless of strength or status, could live together in unity and mutual respect.
-Their behavior can also match those of humans if grown amongst them.
+Under the benevolent rule of this enlightened monarch, the Animalians found themselves free to pursue their true passions and aspirations, liberated from the shackles of fear and oppression that had plagued them for so long. With newfound confidence and purpose, they turned their gaze outward, to the vast expanse of the Multiverse beyond, their hearts filled with a sense of wonder and excitement at the endless possibilities that lay on the horizon.
+Driven by a deep-seated desire for exploration and adventure, many Animalians set forth into the unknown, their spirits unbound by the constraints of their homeworld. With each new discovery and each distant horizon, they sought to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos and carve out their own destinies amidst the stars. Yet, even as they journeyed forth into the great unknown, their hearts remained tethered to their ancestral home, their loyalty and allegiance unwavering in the face of adversity.
+But not all Animalians shared in this spirit of peaceful exploration and enlightenment. For some, the tranquil neutrality of the [[shards:uns]] held little appeal, their restless souls yearning for the thrill of battle and the glory of conquest. Venturing forth into the far reaches of the galaxy, they sought out conflict and confrontation, their blades and blasters eager to taste the heat of battle once more.
+And amidst the vast tapestry of Animalian society, there existed those whose inclinations leaned towards laziness and indolence, content to while away the hours in idleness and leisure. Yet, even among these seemingly slothful individuals, there were those whose hearts burned with a fierce passion for hard work and diligence, their dedication and determination serving as a shining example to all who knew them.
+In the end, the Animalians are a reflection of the complexities and contradictions of sentient life, their behaviors and beliefs shaped by a myriad of influences both internal and external. And as they navigate the turbulent currents of existence with courage and conviction, they do so with a steadfast determination to forge their own destinies and leave their mark upon the annals of history.
 ==== Sexuality and Love ====
-Their sexuality and love is the exact same as humans
+The concept of sexuality and love among the Animalians mirrors that of humans in its depth, complexity, and diversity. At the heart of their understanding lies a profound recognition of the power of attraction, intimacy, and emotional connection to shape their relationships and experiences.
+For the Animalians, sexuality is a multifaceted aspect of their identity, encompassing a broad spectrum of orientations, desires, and expressions. Just as among humans, some Animalians are drawn to partners of the opposite sex, while others find themselves attracted to individuals of the same sex or non-binary genders. This rich tapestry of sexual diversity reflects the myriad ways in which love and desire manifest themselves within their society, challenging traditional norms and expectations while celebrating the beauty of individuality and self-expression.
+Yet, beyond mere physical attraction, love among the Animalians is a deeply emotional and spiritual bond that transcends the boundaries of gender and species. Whether expressed through tender gestures of affection, passionate declarations of devotion, or quiet acts of kindness, love is a universal language that speaks to the depths of the soul, forging connections that are as enduring as they are profound.
+In matters of romance and courtship, Animalians follow a similar trajectory to humans, navigating the complexities of attraction, desire, and compatibility with a mixture of hope and trepidation. From the heady rush of infatuation to the steady comfort of long-term partnership, their relationships evolve and grow over time, shaped by shared experiences, mutual respect, and unwavering commitment.
+Yet, like all sentient beings, the Animalians are not immune to the challenges and complexities of love and sexuality. Jealousy, insecurity, and heartbreak are universal experiences that transcend species boundaries, testing the resilience of their bonds and the strength of their resolve. Yet, even in the face of adversity, the Animalians draw upon the power of love to overcome obstacles and forge ever deeper connections with one another.
+In the end, the concept of sexuality and love among the Animalians is a reflection of their shared humanity, a testament to the universal desire for connection, intimacy, and belonging. And as they navigate the intricate dance of romance and relationships with courage and compassion, they do so with hearts full of hope and minds open to the endless possibilities that love brings.
 ===== Culture =====
 ==== Language ====
-They speak common to other species and races, but some Animalians like Felidae can communicate with each other a different way that isnt detectable by any other species in the sector.
+Communication among the Animalians is a rich and multifaceted tapestry, woven with threads of language, gesture, and intuition that bridge the gaps between species and foster understanding in the diverse tapestry of the Multiverse.
+At the heart of their communication lies a common language, a lingua franca spoken by beings of all species and races, enabling them to exchange ideas, share stories, and forge connections that transcend the boundaries of language and culture. Whether spoken in the bustling markets of the United Alliance of Neutral Systems or whispered in the shadowy corners of the outer rim, this shared language serves as a bridge between worlds, uniting beings of all backgrounds in a common bond of understanding and camaraderie.
+Yet, alongside this universal tongue, there exists a multitude of other forms of communication unique to the Animalians themselves. Among the felines, for example, communication takes on a subtle and nuanced form, where gestures, expressions, and even the slightest shifts in body language convey meaning in ways that are imperceptible to other species. With a flick of the tail or a tilt of the head, they communicate complex emotions and intentions with astonishing clarity, forging bonds of trust and kinship that transcend the limitations of spoken language.
+But the felines are not alone in their unique modes of communication. From the melodious songs of the avians to the intricate dances of the reptilians, each species possesses its own distinct language of expression, a rich tapestry of sounds, movements, and gestures that speak volumes about their culture, history, and identity. And while these forms of communication may be incomprehensible to outsiders, they serve as a powerful reminder of the diversity and complexity of life in the Multiverse.
+Yet, even as they celebrate their differences, the Animalians recognize the importance of finding common ground and fostering understanding between species. Through diplomacy, cooperation, and mutual respect, they seek to build bridges of communication that transcend the barriers of language and culture, forging bonds of friendship and cooperation that span the stars.
+In the end, communication among the Animalians is a testament to the power of language and expression to unite beings of all backgrounds and species in a common quest for understanding and connection. And as they journey forth into the vast expanse of the Multiverse, they do so with hearts full of hope and minds open to the endless possibilities that await them on the horizon.
 ==== Naming ====
-They might call each other affectionate names, and it is possible for them to be given names that a human might call their pets. Like Fang for example. Their last name depends on the region where they were born.
+The naming scheme among the Animalians is a reflection of their rich cultural tapestry, blending elements of tradition, geography, and personal preference to create names that are as unique and diverse as the beings themselves.
+At the heart of their naming conventions lies a deep reverence for nature and the animal kingdom, with many Animalians being given names that reflect their connection to the natural world. Just as humans might name their pets after characteristics or traits, so too do the Animalians often receive names that evoke images of strength, agility, or cunning. Names like Fang, Claw, or Swift are not uncommon among their ranks, serving as a reminder of their primal instincts and animal heritage.
+Yet, alongside these more evocative names, there exists a multitude of other naming traditions that vary depending on the region and cultural background of the Animalian in question. In some regions, names may be derived from the languages of their ancestors, with meanings that speak to their history and lineage. For example, like the characters of the Lion King who received names based on Swahili, so too might the Animalians draw upon the rich linguistic traditions of their own cultures to bestow names upon their offspring.
+In other regions, naming conventions may be influenced by popular culture or contemporary trends, with names inspired by literature, mythology, or even popular media. Just as in the movie Zootopia, where characters have names like Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, so too might the Animalians adopt names that reflect their own unique identities and aspirations.
+But regardless of the specific naming tradition, one thing remains constant: the importance of names as a reflection of identity and belonging. Whether given at birth or chosen later in life, a name is more than just a label; it is a symbol of individuality, a marker of heritage, and a testament to the bonds that unite us all.
+In the end, the naming scheme among the Animalians is a celebration of diversity and creativity, a reflection of the myriad ways in which they embrace their animalistic nature and forge connections with the world around them. And as they continue to journey forth into the great unknown, they do so with names that echo with the echoes of the past and the promise of the future, each one a unique expression of the indomitable spirit of the Animalian people.
+=== Name List ===
+Here's a list of example names for Animalian characters:
+  * Fang Swiftclaw

+These names incorporate elements of strength, agility, and nature, reflecting the diverse backgrounds and personalities of the Animalian characters.
 ==== The Arts ====
-They don’t actually have art of their own, though few Animadae began learning. This is the same for Music and paintings and such. As they are a part of the UNS, or the NDC and so on, they will learn there.
+Art, music, and other forms of creative expression hold a special place in the hearts of sentient beings across the Multiverse, serving as a means of communication, connection, and self-discovery. Yet, among the Animalians, these artistic pursuits have long remained elusive, their society focused more on survival and practicality than the pursuit of beauty and creativity.
+For generations, the Animalians have lived in a world shaped by the imperatives of survival, where strength, cunning, and adaptability are valued above all else. In such a society, the arts have often been relegated to the sidelines, considered a luxury rather than a necessity in the struggle for existence. As a result, few Animalians have had the opportunity or inclination to pursue artistic endeavors, their energies instead focused on more practical pursuits.
+Yet, despite this lack of formal training or education in the arts, there are those among the Animalians who feel a stirring within their souls, a longing to express themselves and explore the depths of their creativity. These pioneering individuals have taken it upon themselves to seek out opportunities for learning and growth, venturing forth into the wider galaxy in search of knowledge and inspiration.
+In the bustling cities of the United Alliance of Neutral Systems or the New Dusk Conclave, they have found a wealth of resources and opportunities for artistic expression, from classes and workshops to mentorship programs and cultural exchanges. Here, amid the vibrant tapestry of galactic society, they have immersed themselves in the study of art, music, and literature, eager to unlock the secrets of their own creativity and share their unique perspectives with the world.
+Through trial and error, experimentation and collaboration, these intrepid Animalians have begun to carve out their own niche in the world of the arts, drawing upon their instincts and experiences to create works that are as diverse and vibrant as the species themselves. From paintings and sculptures to music and dance, they are exploring new frontiers of expression, pushing the boundaries of what is possible and challenging the conventions of their society.
+And as they continue on their artistic journey, the Animalians are discovering that creativity knows no bounds, transcending species and cultures to unite beings of all backgrounds in a shared celebration of the human spirit. With hearts full of passion and minds open to the infinite possibilities of the cosmos, they are forging a new legacy for themselves and their people, one brushstroke, one note, one masterpiece at a time.
 ==== Attire ====
+Clothing among the Animalians is as diverse as the species themselves, reflecting not only practical considerations but also cultural traditions and personal preferences. From the lush fur of the mammals to the sleek feathers of the avians and the scaled hides of the reptiles, each species has its own unique relationship with clothing and adornment.
-Mammals tend to not wear clothes as they are already covered in fur. They think it a great insult if their outfit is made out of animal hide, But clothes made out of other materials may be worn if they are light. Avians tend to wear outfits similar to the Icarians ((made by Arbitrated)). Reptiles do wear special outfits to keep them warm.
+For the mammalian species of Animalians, clothing is often a matter of practicality rather than fashion. With their bodies already adorned with thick fur, they have little need for additional layers to keep them warm. As such, many mammalian Animalians eschew clothing altogether, preferring instead to revel in the natural beauty of their own pelts. For them, wearing clothing made from animal hide is seen as a great insult, a violation of the sacred bond between themselves and their fellow creatures. Instead, they may opt for garments made from lightweight materials such as cotton or silk, allowing them to move freely and comfortably without compromising their principles.
+Among the avian species, clothing takes on a different significance, with outfits designed to complement their aerial lifestyle. Lightweight and airy fabrics are favored, allowing them to move with grace and agility through the skies. From flowing robes to intricate tunics adorned with feathers, avian Animalians take pride in their appearance, using clothing as a means of expression and identity. For them, clothing is not merely a necessity but a form of art, a reflection of their connection to the natural world and the boundless expanse of the heavens above.
+For the reptilian species, clothing serves a more practical purpose, providing warmth and protection against the elements. With their cold-blooded nature, reptilian Animalians are particularly sensitive to changes in temperature, making specialized outfits a necessity in many climates. Thick, insulating fabrics are favored, along with accessories such as gloves and scarves to help retain body heat. Yet, even as they bundle up against the cold, reptilian Animalians take care to ensure that their outfits are both functional and stylish, with intricate patterns and designs that reflect their cultural heritage and personal tastes.
+In the end, clothing among the Animalians is a reflection of their rich diversity and cultural heritage, a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of sentient beings across the Multiverse. Whether practical or ornamental, clothing serves as a means of expression and identity, allowing each individual to carve out their own unique place in the world. And as they continue on their journey through life, the Animalians do so with hearts full of pride and minds open to the endless possibilities that await them in the great unknown.
 ==== Philosophy ====
+The origins of the Animalians are steeped in a history of struggle and survival, where the doctrine of "survival of the fittest" reigned supreme, shaping the very fabric of their society and culture. In those early days, strength and prowess were revered above all else, and those deemed weak or vulnerable were cast aside, their fates left to the merciless whims of nature.
+Yet, amidst the chaos and carnage of their ancestral homelands, there arose a visionary leader whose name would be whispered in reverence for generations to come. The first Animalian King, a figure of wisdom and compassion, recognized the inherent flaws of a society built on the principles of competition and aggression. With courage and determination, he set out to forge a new path for his people, one guided by the principles of cooperation, compassion, and mutual respect.
+Under the enlightened rule of their benevolent monarch, the Animalians underwent a profound cultural transformation, casting aside the shackles of their violent past and embracing a new ethos of harmony and unity. No longer bound by the dictates of survival of the fittest, they began to cultivate a society that celebrated diversity and cooperation, where every member was valued for their unique contributions and talents.
+Yet, even as they embraced this new philosophy, the Animalians remained keenly attuned to the world around them, recognizing that their environment played a crucial role in shaping their identity and culture. From the dense forests of their ancestral homelands to the bustling cities of the United Alliance of Neutral Systems, each region left its mark on the collective consciousness of the Animalian people, influencing their beliefs, traditions, and way of life.
+Over time, this symbiotic relationship between the Animalians and their environment gave rise to a truly unique cultural identity, one that reflected the rich tapestry of their experiences and aspirations. Whether through art, music, literature, or tradition, the Animalians expressed themselves in ways that were deeply rooted in their surroundings, drawing inspiration from the natural world and the diverse array of species that inhabited it.
+And so, as they journeyed forth into the great unknown, the Animalians did so with a sense of purpose and pride, their hearts filled with hope and their minds open to the endless possibilities that lay ahead. For in the end, they knew that it was their shared commitment to cooperation, compassion, and mutual respect that would guide them on their journey, ensuring that they remained true to the principles of their enlightened monarch and the legacy he left behind.
-Their philosophy may be shaped by their environment making it truly unique to them.

 The race can be violent if pushed or bothered, they will strike, slash, peck and even bite back at the annoyance that kills them. Though there has been a millennia-long attempt at curving this aggressive streak. It will likely take time to get over their previous animal nature.  The King has attempted to create a Tribunal to handle all issues,
+==== Outside UNS ====
+Outside of the United Alliance of Neutral Systems, where distinctions are clearer, the perception of Animalians—beings descended from uplifted animals—can blur with that of genetically modified organisms (Genemods), especially in regions like the New Dusk Conclave. Here, where the boundaries between species and technologies are often nebulous, misunderstandings arise.
+Animalians, unlike Genemods, are the products of upliftment, a process where animals are genetically enhanced to possess human-like intelligence and abilities. This can range from simple cognition to complex linguistic skills and societal structures. The process of upliftment is both a scientific marvel and an ethical quandary, as it raises questions about the nature of consciousness, identity, and the relationship between humans and animals.
+In contrast, Genemods are creatures whose genetic makeup has been directly altered through genetic engineering, often for specific purposes such as enhanced strength, agility, or resistance to disease. While both Animalians and Genemods may exhibit extraordinary traits, the origins and implications of these traits differ significantly.
+The confusion between the two arises from the superficial similarities in their appearances and abilities. In places like the New Dusk Conclave, where experimentation and innovation thrive in a legal grey area, distinctions can become even more blurred. Here, hybrid creatures roam the streets alongside genetically modified organisms, and the line between natural and artificial life is constantly challenged.
