Very interesting! I like this... let me see if I can pull out an ancient race of mine... oh yeah, the old Guild got f*ed up... oh wait! Here's some info on them:

But I'm going to be changing them up. They are the Ziorii (singular: Ziori). They are humanoid, but there legs have two knees, sort of like the Protoss from StarCraft (it's better if you Google it). They normally stand at about 6 feet, but if they extend their legs to full height they can reach heights of 7-8 feet. They have a striking balance between litheness and strength, and there bodies are naturally 'athletically built'. Males are typically stronger than females, but it just depends on the individual. There eyes are a single color, such as blue, green, purple, red, etc. A Ziori's skin color pigmentation's are directly affected by their thought processes. Usually the more aggressive and cunning Ziori release darker pigments, making them pitch-black. The typical Ziori, however, has hues of blue, even purple. Because most female Ziori are good-natured or more calm, they have lighter hues, usually purple in color.

All Ziori have a fearsome gnashing maw. They're carnivores and as a result they have rows of extremely sharp teeth, very beast-like. I'll leave it to your imagination to think of what they look like, but if I could draw it out imagine the most gnarly, tooth-filled, fearsome mouth possible. If these things bit you, you'd be in a world of hurt. Fortunately, due to religious reasons, Ziori do not show their mouths to anyone; they cover those things up like we cover our private areas. But they all wear an Azul, which is similar to a scarf or bandana that is tied around the face to cover the nose and mouth. Azuls have a religious aspect as well, part of their celestial god and goddess Zoruun and Zaria.

Their religion revolves two beings: Zoruun, the male, and Zaria, the female. Now this is all religion, possibly myth, so take it as you will. Zaria was an actual goddess, she didn't begin as a Ziori but would later take that form. Zoruun was the "first Ziori", the champion of the moon goddess Zaria, and later her lover. Together they spawned the Ziori race. Zoruun passed into godhood to be with Zaria forever, but he doesn't necessarily have the same god-like powers as Zaria does.

There culture is like a warrior-ethos. They live scattered throughout forests in various tribes, and are a nocturnal race. Some villages are on the ground, but others may build homes within caves, and some even build them high up in the tree-tops. These clans keep to themselves, and they'd be more advanced if they only united, but a united Ziori nation is seemingly impossible due to differences in culture and whatnot.

Ziori are natural warriors, and some are able to use powerful, but forbidden magic, usually associated with darkness, shadows, the afterlife, or 'voodoo' type of stuff. They value quality over quantity. There's never a lot of Ziori, but one is more than enough to handle, as they're extremely capable warriors.

Ziorii can live for up to a thousand years, and many of them hone their skills as warriors and it would seem they're all itching to learn as much as possible.

Inspirations include the Protoss, Predators, Boba/Jango Fett, Toa Nuva Kopaka, etc.
