Biology and Appearance
The Aruzans are a race of small near-human people, standing slightly shorter than your average Human, with faintly blue skin as lustrous as pearls, with rounded heads and hair of such a dark, dark blue it was almost black. Their eyes are so black they can be reflective at time. Some Aruzans get luminous tattoos as a means to express themselves outwardly.
All Aruzans are Techno-Empaths, having been fitted with Attanni, an implant usually mounted just behind the ear that allows them to share both feelings and experiences.
Society and Culture
Generally, Aruzans are a gentle and pacifistic people, though they are resilient and some have been steeled by the harshness of the Galaxy outside their home planet.
Due to the Attanni, they live a life as a combined people as well as individuals, sharing feelings, experiences, dreams among one another too such an extent that that when they are cut off from their kind, they experience such a profound loneliness and emptiness. Due to this, when they do travel aboard in the Galaxy, Aruzans tend to either travel with others of their race or attempt to bond with Cyborgs implanted with Attanni or similar devices.
