Delini

Delini are an organic humanoid race that was first discovered by the Igbana around the year 537. They had not yet discovered space travel yet, much less faster-than-light (FTL) travel. The Igbana donated several ships of theirs, though they remained in underground storage bunkers for well over 2000 years, nearly forgotten, because the Delini did not trust the aliens. Thankfully for them, the Delini's ships still functioned after the Gava revolt and were easy enough to learn to fly. They left their planet in search of another that could support them. By the year 3943, they found one; Deshala. However, after nearly a millennium in space, they were not used to the gravity of this planet and had evolved and adapted to life on the ships. They have since adapted to the planet and rarely venture away from it; however, they still live in the ships and maintain a constant population within.

Delini all have short white hair that they bead with various-colored beads and do not wash. However, their body has adapted to clean it with acidic oils excreted from their scalps. They have weak bones from the limited gravity of space, though they are slowly adapting to it. They are a squat people and do not differ physically except for genitals and mammary glands, which are the same as humans'. They have a slight greenish tint to their pale skin, though it has begun to darken since they landed on this planet. Their eyes are either a cold blue or a light brown, but never both. Their clothing consists of very colorful and ornately designed shirts and skirts (for both genders). In Deshala's harsh winters, they go into hibernation (which they did before they landed, only the urge is stronger and they sleep for a much longer period now) within the ships, with a few that resist it to protect the rest. The ones who stay awake wear furs similar to ancient Mongols, if not exactly alike. Delini do not grow facial hair, but do store a lot of fat in their bodies during the winter, nearly doubling their weight (though this isn't saying much; the average "summer weight" of a female Delini is 60 lbs, with a winter weight around 110 lbs). This fat burns off as they hibernate (or, if they stay awake, it burns off as they fast).

Delini eat only the grasses of Deshala. They have sharp front teeth, though most of their molar-like teeth have very sharp ridges as well. Their previous diet was very similar and they had grown the grass of their home world hydroponically within the ship (and still do, though this is now mostly eaten just after they wake up from hibernation.

Delini have a moderately strong immune system, though they can get several diseases similar to common human ones, and are prone to picking up viruses in their new world. These new viruses are not well understood yet and are therefore difficult for them to treat, especially since medicines and vaccines are difficult to develop when you lack the tools.

Delini only have an individual name, though they attach nicknames to the end to be more specific. For example, if one were named Hilae, to make them more individualized, they'd be Hilae of the Grasses or Hilae Sungazer. These are only examples and do not take into account the language of the Delini.

Gava

The Gava are a synthetic humanoid race created by the Delini. They were originally created as a mindless slave race, but some developed intelligence by more progressive owners who slowly educated them over several generations. Finally, once the Gava realized they were being treated unfairly and that that slavery wasn't their only option, they revolted. Their sheer numbers meant a quick victory, though there were many casualties due to their lack of advanced weaponry. The "few" that were left created their own cities and, by 2908, forced the Delini off the planet.

Gava appear similar to humans in overall shape, but several key features are different. They have hardened fists that are resistant to fire and cold that make their attacks more effective when unarmed or with melee weapons (from hardness and weight). They have very pale skin, though there is a tiny red tint to it that makes them appear very pink against white surfaces. The "whites" of their eyes are brown and their irises are a bio-luminescent white that allows them to see in color at night, even with no light (albeit not very far). They either have no hair or long, styled hair in brown or black. They go to great lengths to make their hair or scalp "pretty" (though their definition of pretty is tattoos of great battles on their scalps or small skeletons woven and tied into their hair). Their clothes, however, get nearly no attention and are very simple in design, often consisting of belted, black sweatpants and a white tank top. The rest of their body is kept very clean, with no tattoos or even body hair (which they have very little of anyway).

Gava eat mostly fruits indigenous to the area they live, which is most commonly the Huanel, a pitted fruit similar to a peach, but with a crunchy shell (though most peel this off, as it has no nutritional value). Their jaws have developed to eat these fruits, so they only have sharp front teeth and hard ridges in the back.

Gava cities are massive mud, stone, and wood structures, similar in appearance to a multistory mission. Each is painted white with a family's mark on a front wall, near the door. An entire family will live and die in that house, only leaving it to work. Their bodies have evolved to disintegrate within a few days of death into pure ash, which they then mix with mud to patch any holes in the house.

Gava have very strong immune systems and are immune to almost every disease, with the exceptions of GIDV (Gava Immune Deficiency Virus, similar to AIDS, but only takes a few days to kill them) and FIS (Feirum-Inses Syndrome, which softens the flesh on their hands, making them incapable of doing most tasks the way they've learned how. It is by no means deadly, but it is the worst torture Gava know of).

The naming system of Gava is the same as in some Asian countries, where the family name comes first, then a shared generational name (what the parents decide their children are going to have. It's usually the name of a flower), then the individual's name. After this, they write any nicknames they may have.

Simple Plot #1

A character starts with a resurrection skill that raises the person perfectly with one exception: They are raised as a zombie. They lose 1 HP per round and take damage from healing magic. They do not regenerate HP when they sleep.

The character goes on a quest to find a more potent, perfect resurrection. They find someone who tells them they can do it, but they instead steal the souls of those who are resurrected, then kill them.

They learn the perfect resurrection while they hunt down the fraud (or as a reward for catching/killing them).
