Kriosian

The Kriosians are a humanoid species who inhabit the planet Krios Prime.

Biology
Physically, Kriosians are almost identical to their ancestors, the Valtese, possessing a smattering of spots along the side of their face, that lead to their back, and come to a point about halfway down their spine.

Biology
Kriosians are also known for their somewhat randomly born empathic metamorphs. While male metamorphs are somewhat common, female metamorphs only appear once every seven generations and are highly sought after as mates. Numerous noble families will bitterly fight to have their finest sons marry a female metamorph.

These metamorphs also experience the Finiis'ral, a life stage similar to late-stage Human puberty. During its end, a metamorph would morph and imprint for the final time, a process that took about two days, as the metamorph would reach absolute sexual maturity.

Female metamorphs are commonly taken from their parents by the age of four and placed in a royal village where they are prepared by their tutors and servants. These attendants would constantly educate the metamorphs in literature, history, art and sex.

Culture
The Kriosians had a structured class system, divided between the nobility and the commoners.

Kriosian culture did not allow the First Monarch to socialize with the opposite sex until they were married. If anyone attempted to "make a pass" at the Monarch, the Sovereign Guard would cut off one of their hands.
