[SIZE=9pt]Races: N/A[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Strengths: [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Height: Aglorians have a height advantage over most species, standing at about six and a half feet, or two meters tall. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Warrior Mentality: Aglorians have been bred for war for nearly as many generations as they have been around. Therefore, many Aglorians have a eye for strategy.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Weaknesses: [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Xenophobic: It is common for a typical Aglorian to be afraid of other sentient species. Most Aglorians never make it off of their homeworld, so therefore new species cause them to be a little unsettled.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Slow to adapt: Due to their distance from most other planets, they receive technology less commonly and therefore are slow to learn and embrace them.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]CULTURE[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Diet: Aglorians eat meat and vegetable alike, but most meals are meat focused. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Communication: The Aglorian language is typically taught in the home, with Galactic Standard being the primary focus in schooling, with Aglorian being supplemental in later schooling.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Technology level: Almost on par with the rest of the galaxy. Due to their location being far from the core worlds, technology is a bit behind all around but comparable.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Religion/Beliefs: The Aglorians have a pantheon of Gods, with Gods being added and removed as time goes on. One God that typically outshines the rest is Alia, the ancient founder of House Arterialis.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]General behavior: Aglorians are warriors. Their kind have been warring among themselves since the beginning of their recorded history. Serving in the military is incredibly honorable for a male, and the females taking care of families while the men are away at war is commendable. When not out at war, men come home to typical careers. Merchants, politicians, tradesmen and the like. The children attend school until the age of twenty, unless further education is pursued, which can keep a young Aglorian in the education system until they are twenty-five. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]HISTORICAL INFORMATION[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]The Aglorian species goes back since the creation of the planet, Agloria. Not necessarily a blood-thirsty species, but definitely a war-hungry species. A long time ago, the Aglorians were just gathered in tribes, occasionally fighting over a small piece of land. One seemingly sacred tribe, Artinis, had bigger plans, however. Tribe Artinis began conquering neighboring tribes, and talk among these tribes began breaking out about how Artinis was harnessing some strange magic. This magic, not yet known to the tribespeople as the force, was wreaking havoc on the militarily inferior tribes. As the years went on, the size of Tribe Artinis grew exponentially. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Soon enough, tribe Artinis reworked it's political structure and rebranded itself. Now, House Arterialis ruled the land, led by the First King Alia and his now royal family.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Alia led his people against their neighbors as their ancestors had done before, taking land and waging war. As they had before, House Arterialis was able to harness the force to their advantage. Those that surrendered early were treated fairly, typically they were allowed to rule the lands, but under House Arterialis.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]As wars for conquest continued on down generations, House Arterialis continued to consolidate power and grow. Soon enough, House Arterialis and their allies conquered most of the known world. At this point, House Arterialis led basically the planet. Without a doubt, countless civil wars have broken out over the generations. Peace would never last for long, mostly due to the war-hungry mindset.[/SIZE]
