Entry: Species: Zemarian

General Biology:
Roughly humanoid in appearance, they have two obvious differences. The first is skin color – they range from the palest blue to a dark aqua green. The other is their “hair” – actually very thin, strong tentacles. These have as wide a variety of color as their skin, but tends to be a few shades darker. These strands can all be controlled individually by the Zemarian, and used to hold, move, or otherwise manipulate things. They are extremely strong and supple for their size. Most Zemarian’s allow them to hang loose, but can shape them into any number of hair styles. The individual strands are fine enough, that unless they are moving many people never even notice it’s not regular hair. Zemarians are slightly taller than the average human, and since Zemara has a higher gravity than the Earth norm tend to move with grace through the lower gravity.

Social Organization:
The Zemarians are very private about their personal lives, and are slow to open up to offworlders. What has been learned about them is this – they are a highly advanced planet, and had just achieved star flight when they made contact with the UEE. After a brief (and somewhat tense) period of negotiations the Zemarians joined the UEE. Since then, the Standard language has been added to all schools to be taught to every Zemarian before they graduate. Zemarian schools are highly competitive, and as a result the graduates are extremely intelligent. Family is very important, the mother being the head of household, and the eldest living mother the head of the family.

Home World:
Zemara

Zemarian Common
Standard (since joining the UEE)

Diet: Very similar to humans, but they have a very low tolerance for sugar products. Ingesting too much sugar too fast effects them in much the same way that alcohol does humans.
