Homebrew Felesmau Species Details
"Felesmau (Panthera Ehir-Nov) are one of two dominant races that inhabit the planet Ehirri, also known as Novus-Persei VI. They are semi-humanoid, bipedal, and feline in appearance. There are three subraces of Felesmau, each different in their own ways."
Natives of the planet they call Ehirri, Felesmau are a race of feline-like humanoids who seek out knowledge and advancement through whatever means necessary. Felesmau have an instinctual call to travel, and have a hard time staying on only one planet their whole life, especially one that's been thoroughly charted and explored. Lovers of art and fun in any form, they can often be seen celebrating for nearly occasion. Their sculptures, paintings, and other works of art are highly prized in the galactic market. Lastly, Felesmau are drawn to the moons. Not only to their home planet, but to those of exoplanets. Their creation myth states that the moons were once gods.
Wanderers by Nature
Felesmau have a draw to the unknown. Thus, when their civilization started developing, it rapidly progressed into space travel. They had an innate curiosity to learn about the galaxy- and what dwells within it. They seek out new life and new civilizations, (Trek anyone?) purely for the sake of knowing.
Felesmau can be highly sought after to serve aboard starships as science officers or working in stellar cartography.
Keen Senses, Wide Eyes
Felesmau have extremely acute senses. They have a marked improvement to eyesight, but where they really stand out is their sense of hearing. Their culture grew from a near inhospitable jungle- so they still posses strong animalistic impulses and instincts. Most are strong and agile, and have bursts of energy that hits harder than adrenaline.
