[h2]Personality[/h2]


Like many Kasi, Remu is innately a social creature and prefers being in the company of others than on her own. Her personality and attitude tends to shift to best conform with others she chooses to associate with though there are some basic ideals that she tends to keep. She vastly prefers cooperation over autonomy. Remu likes a relationship to be like individual organs who, while doing different jobs, work together to sustain a larger body. She gets lonely easily and thus seeks comfort in other people’s presence, even if they’re aggressive but not hostile. However Remu looks at the good of the group over the good of the individual, so if she has to Remu will remove anyone who may be an issue to them, even if it’s herself. Though she tries not to be a nuisance. Remu is hopelessly naive about other people and assume that they have the best interest of others at heart just like she does, and that they would also want to cooperate and help her just as she wants to cooperate and help them.



[h2]Biography[/h2]

Remu is a Kasa from their home planet of Kasath, mountainous place located near a dying red dwarf. Her family was one of the few who remained on the planet for as long as they could in order to cultivate as much materials and preserve whatever cultural artifacts they could find. As a young kasi, Remu helped her parents as much as she could to save priceless heirlooms and natural resources onto their ship. It was during this time that Remu learned most of skills in archeology and forestry, preserving priceless artifacts from the ruins of civilization as well as harvesting natural resources.

Remu was only seventeen years old however when the dangers from the dying sun was too great for her family to stay any longer. They boarded the massive worldship, the Indari, and escaped their home planet before the sun would cause it to become completely inhospitable. She watched as the only home she knew grew smaller and smaller, until it became nothing more than a red dot in her memories. On the Indari Remu was given a basic education along with other young Kasi, though most of the teachings was slanted more towards Kasi culture rather than anything more universal. This made Remu hungry to learn more about other cultures aside from the Kasi, as she wished to see how other creatures in space has survived for as long as they have.

So around twenty years old Remu started to contact organizations and companies created by different races. In order to meet them, Remu wanted to work alongside other races and show them what she knows, as well as learn what they know. She used her vast skills as a forester to get a job as a pioneer meant to colonize new planets, and hopefully her relationship with other space faring races would build bridges to befriend one another. She eventually managed to get a job with a logging company heading towards Ferun V, so Remu packed all her things she could find before setting off on the ship towards this new and unknown (To Remu) planet.

[h2]Equipment[/h2]
[hider=Weapon]
Plasma Saw - A chainsaw that uses both friction tearing and a plasmic field to cut through wood, stone, or even metal. While not originally intended as a weapon it is easily made into one with proper settings, which Remu knows. She has another Plasma Saw however it is too damaged to use, so she keeps it around as spare parts. The Plasma Saw is fueled by a Kasi powerpack, which is well known for being able to be recharged by anything that can produce heat, be it the sun, nonstandard chargers, or even placed in a fire (Though without careful watch this will damage the powerpack). Remu has two fully charged powerpack, one in her working Plasma Saw and another in the broken Plasma Saw.[/hider]

[hider=Tool]
Gravity Lifter - Another marvel of Kasi technology, a gravity lifter appears to be four disks connected by a metal rope. These ropes can extend to allow the disks to be placed on different parts of an option, ideally in such a way that they would be distributing weight properly. When activated all four disks in unison can lift up to a total of ten thousand pounds anywhere between one to ten feet. While in this mode they can then be transported as easily as pushing them towards wherever they need to go. This technology is often used to lift logs and other heavy obstacles out of the way without risking the operators. The Gravity Lifters can be used for up to three hours at a time, but require specific types of generators to recharge them. Remu knows what generators are needed but she doesn’t know the exact specifications of said generators.

[h2]Homeworld: Kasath[/h2]
[hider=Homeworld]
Kasath is once a mountainous planet flourishing with natural growth and life. The creatures who inhabited the world are best known for their multiple functional limbs compared to certain other species of similar origins, with the Kasi themselves being the perfect example. Kasath was once rich in mineral goods brought about due to their planet’s dense structure and and gravity, creating massive wealth in intergalactic trade. However Kasath met a fate not many other places do, and that was the fate of their star entering the end of it’s age. While their sun would not turn into a supernova until two hundred more years, it’s slowly but surely in the process of doing so, and and thus made life on Kasath inhabitable. To escape the destruction of their homeplanet the Kasi had amass as much resources as they could and created World Ships, continental space ships large enough to house entire nations throughout space. With their home world abandoned, the Kasi must now forge a new destiny in the galactic frontier. 
[/hider]
[h2]Appearance[/h2]
Kasi are bipedal with grey or tan skin, black eyes, and a smooth face without a nose. The average Kasi will be six feet tall, though the tallest have been seen at eight feet tall. They weight anywhere between 120 to 200 pounds. Most Kasi have long, tall skulls, however recently there have been Kasi born without an extended skull and the organ within. They are naturally lean but with sturdy bodies, allowing them to perform intense acrobatics even at a young age, as well as survive falls that would normally kill other species. Their most notable feature is their additional pair of arms located underneath their shoulders, which they are able to use with great fluidity and grace. Kasi have very little sexual dimorphism due to being sexually hermaphrodite, however they may choose to identify as “Male” or ‘Female” depending if they wish to bare a child or other personal choice.

[h2]Physiology[/h2]
Kasi bodies are notable for their agility and dexterity, along with their endurance and durability. This is due to their bodies having incredibly flexible bones and shock absorbent flesh, allowing them to withstand impacts better while maintaining a fairly light weight. The kasi’s additional pair of arms also compensate for their arms individual weakness, often working in close coordination if brute strength is needed. What allowed the Kasi to truly flourish however was not their arms, but their minds. Nearly all Kasi are born with a unique sensory organ in their brain that allows them to sense other Kasi and enter a sort of “Mind Hive” instead of one mind in multiple bodies, the Kasi have many minds inhabiting the one body. Though this Mindhive Kasi can gain an innate understanding of each other and even utilize their memories and skills, thus each Kasi can individually focus on a specific skill and when in the company of other Kasi, each can share their knowledge with each other to coordinate their efforts.

However this Mindhive is as much a weakness as it is a strength, as opposing ideologies will also conflict and fight for control. Kasi who are not cooperative to one another completely, or at least those who cannot put aside their differences for a specific goal, will literally cause headaches for each other to the point of that they could cause strokes and brain hemorrhages. These mindhives also ensure that if any one member of the mindhive is threatened, it will bring upon the full force of the others, and when pitted against other mindhives this has resulted in genocides. Additionally Kasi who are outside of the mindhive suffer from a sever lack of intelligence and foresight, often coming off as naive and foolish to others due to a lack of coordinated thinking. 

[h2]History[/h2]

From the beginning, the Kasi are born from a species of insect whose empathic ability allowed each member to easily contact each other over a long distance. This natural form of communication allowed Kasi to easily become the top of the food chain on their home planet, as each kasi could easily coordinate their efforts even with complete strangers, amassing their strength and knowledge together to overcome any sort of creature. So it was little wonder that their greatest threats were eachother.

The Kasi may seem like the perfect civilization who are incapable of mutiny or strife, but this is only because that it is built into the Kasi to eradicate anything that does not conform to the Mindhive. Kasi history is filled with many promising and powerful cultures and groups of Kasi who have both assimilated into one another, as well as killed anyone who opposed them down to the child. The Kasi have flourished for as long as they have only because they remove any seed of dissent and doubt, not because they never had any.

It is for this reason that much of Kasi culture seems to have not changed much beyond increase their technological level. While other races would have different cultures and ethnicities even among their own species, the Kasi are so homogeneous that anything that wasn’t accepted into the Mindhive was wiped even from their own history. The balance of power heavily shifted to those in favor of the Mindhive, and rarely was innovation ever made without the consensus of the primary Yutani, the leader of the Mindhive. 

Compared to other civilizations the Kasi are a fairly young race, despite having achieved intergalactic space travel before such races like the humans. This is thanks to their Mindhive which has allowed them to pool their knowledge together and discover that their sun was in the process of dying, which collectively encouraged the entire race of Kasi to find a way off their planet before they were completely eradicated. The state of their star did however protect the Kasi from conquering space faring races, as their homes would be of no use if they were going to be inhospitable within a few generations. 

Once the first Kasi were able to traverse space and meet other races, they opened up trade selling valuable mineral goods on their planet, emphasising their imminent destruction to purchase rare materials that will soon no longer be available. As more and more Kasi migrated onto World Ships, they also became selling salvage contracts to their home planet, allowing nearly any space-faring race to go to their home planet of Kasath and strip whatever materials they could find within the confines of the contract. These contracts promised much more wealth than merely buying the materials directly from the Kasi, even after they had already gone through the process of stripping their own homes of valuable resources.

Nowadays the Kasi continue to sell their precious goods to other space races, while also employing their workforces en masses. Kasi have a vested interest in colonizing a new homeworld for themselves and seek to obtain one through diplomatic and trade agreements, as they lack a homeworld to defend should they attempt militaristic conquest. That being said the Kasi are far from defenseless and their focus into deep space survival has allowed them to arm their World Ships to be comparable to entire armadas of other species navies, to not even mention the World Ships the Kasi have dedicated solely to military operations. 

[h2]Religion[/h2]

The Kasi believe in an afterlife after their deaths, where their memories and ideals are pooled together to create a new conscious in an ethereal plane unreachable even with their technological advancement. These ideals are not entirely unlike reincarnation, however there is a large emphasis on the fact that what one does during their life as a Kasi defines what their fate in the next life would be. To lead a rich life will result in continue that rich life in the next one, but leading with a poor one will have you start a poor life. Notable these ideals focus on what a Kasi is doing in the present, rather than what they have done in the past. What you have accomplished in your life before will not affect you in the next one over, but if you lead an empty existence at the point of your death, then you will be an empty existence in the next one. 

[h2]Culture[/h2]

Kasi culture is largely conformist, emphasising being able to stick with other like-minded individuals to achieve whatever goal or purpose the group is collectively pursuing. Due to this dogged mindset of collective achievement each member of the group is motivated to do more than their fair share of work, with each other as the only means to ensure that even gets an equal share without forcing the others into taking on a heavier burden. As the Mindhive will alert each other to when a member is struggling, trying to hide or make others do more work than one’s self is nearly impossible for the Kasi to do to each other.

This sort of thinking has led to many elderly Kasi to continue work even when they are physically unable to, and many often die in the line of duty as opposed to resting in their homes. It is considered a great honor to die in such a fashion that those who do are often celebrated within the community they died in. However at the same time, elderly Kasi who are still alive but provide nothing to the community, not even knowledge or wisdom, are seen in the same light as those who do not conform to the Mindhive and at shunned at best, or executed at worse.

Marriage is a concept that the Kasi have and it is said that the bond between to kasi allows them to achieve a connection known as an amalgamation, a fusion of the mind. This complex ritual fuses the conscious of the Kasi together and allows them to inhabit each other’s bodies, which is considered the ultimate form of union. Forced amalgamations are not impossible, as they are often brought upon when a single kasi is forced by the majority, however such fusions can and will result in death if one of the parties are not in complete agreement.

Having left their homeworld due to its imminent destruction, there has been a surge in patriotism among the Kasi. Seeing themselves as the last survivors of a lost world many Kasi have begun a Mindhive in favor of their own well being over the prosperity of other races. Currently there is no hostilities as the general consensus does agree that the Kasi must find a new home for themselves, however the Mindhives continue to discuss how this home would be found. Many are in agreement that they do not wish to threaten the safety of the Kasi to find this home, but have not yet decided where they must settle or who they must deal with. 

There is a notable but not active Mindhive within the Kasi who are willing to conquer planets already colonized by other space faring races, or at least will have no issues against committing genocide against a species populating an unclaimed planet. This faction has neither been suppressed nor voice however, since there such an opportunity has not yet arisen.

The kasi are sexually hermaphrodite, with ideals like “Male” and “Female” typically associated with the role and purpose of the individual Kasi. “Males” are associated with industry and craft, often doing tasks such as manufacturing arts or resources, as well as creating stratagems and complex ideals and systems to lead certain governing bodies or organizations. Thus they are often craftsmen, laborers, leaders, or artists. “Females” are associated with protecting or caring for others, often making them teachers, doctors, and soldiers, as their duties focus on the safety and concern of others rather than simply achieve a goal. Homosexuality is an unknown concept to Kasi since sexually speaking two “Males” or “Females” are completely capable of creating a child with each other. That being said when Kasi come to mate, they typically seek out Kasi who do not share their knowledge in order to expand the range of their abilities, so ideally they do not work the exact same occupation and thus the same gender. Though they do still seek Kasi who personally conform to each other's beliefs, which is more common to find in a shared workplace.

[h2]Government[/h2]
The kasi government is lead by the Yutani, the Mindhive leader. The Yutani essentially is a single Kasi whose sole opinion has gained the consensus of the Mindhive as a whole, as well as having survived the process of having potentially millions of other Kasi in heavy disagreement with the kasi in question (A process which can be fatal in such large amounts). The Yutani is thus seen as a supreme leader for the Kasi, and the general consensus is thus that the Yutani will lead and guide the Kasi as a whole. The length of these rules can vary depending on the success and strength of the Yutani; typically a new Yutani is chosen when the previous one either gives up the title, or more often than not, dies due to the stress of their duties.
