Overview

Billions of years ago, on the planet Romit, the Oansgardian immortals studied all aspects of life. They took local reptiles for testing and discovered one part of the lizard's mind had the potential for much greater complexity. They enhanced the creatures and found the new developments were passed to each succeeding generation. The reptiles were released back into the wild to chart their survival rate.

History

The Oansgardians eventually left Romit in a great exodus. The enhanced life forms evolved into the Psaurion race. The early Psaurions investigated the Oansgardian labs and mimicked their creators. After several millennia, the Psaurions developed interstellar flight technology and were able to leave Romit to search for their creators, who were on Oansgard.

When the two discovered each other, things were not quite what the Psaurions expected. The Oansgardians regretted their decision not to destroy their equipment before leaving Romit. The Psaurions were forbidden to travel to Oansgard, though they wished to learn more from the Oansgardians. Though the Psaurions had mastered the technology, they had gained little understanding. The Oansgardians felt responsible for the Psaurions and sent them back home, where they could strive for comprehension. The Oansgardians ordered the Psaurions to stay within their assigned area so the Oansgardians would not be disturbed. The Oansgardians hoped the Psaurion would achieve their own greatness in time.

Discovering their creators and then feeling humiliated, the Psaurions buried the truth about themselves. As a species, they forgot their background and began anew their scientific work. But as scientists, the Psaurions asked the questions all thinkers ask: "Where are we from?" The Psaurion never stopped asking this question. Again and again, the Psaurions discovered the truth about their origins, and every time they ended up suppressing the knowledge. The Psaurions refuse to acknowledge to themselves that their creators did not want them nor believe in them. When hearing the truth, in pain, they go into shock and incapacitate themselves. This process also suppresses their knowledge of their genesis.

Biology

Psaurion Physiology:

Like most Eden reptiles and amphibians, Psaurions are cold-blooded scaly creatures. Some have forked tongues and some have slitted eyes. Psaurions can tell the genetic ancestry of a fellow citizen just by their scales and eyes.

Reproduction

Psaurion females produce eggs. An odd note is that the fewer eggs they have, the stronger those they do produce will be. The fewer the eggs, the more of the nutrients they get from the mother.

Weaknesses

Temperatures: Being cold-blooded, Psaurions must have a regulated environment that is the perfect temperature. If it is too cold, they can freeze and die. If it is too hot they can go into a coma or even burn to death.

Trivia

Keeping Warm: The clothing that Psaurions wear, even on their homeworld, help regulate body temperature. The more extreme temperatures require more clothing.
