Danthiri; It means 'Dark Adversary' in the language of a lost people. A dark presence in space that envelops worlds like a shroud. House Ebonclaw is one of the most expansive houses of the Danthiri race and the only one to bridge the Galactic Abyssal to find new worlds and nations on which to prey. Below is a treatise on the Danthiri people. Enjoy.
Introduction:
The Galaxy has seen very little of the Danthiri and thankfully so. It's most infamous representative House Ebonclaw and it's equally infamous matron, Lirreka. Danthiri are aggressive but capable of great restraint when the situation requires it. They are cunning of mind and agile of frame given more to speed over strength. Consummate survivors the Danthiri are very capable at adapting technologies stolen or scavenged from other races to their own ends and learn at a frightening rate. The society is a Matriarchy with women holding positions of importance and influence. Men accept this state of affairs grudgingly but never openly oppose the Matrons nor do anything to risk the well being of the House.
Personality:
Manipulation and deviousness is rife among the Danthiri. Evolving under an ‘us-verses-them’ mentality the physically weaker Danthiri played to their ‘strengths’ and learned to be quicker of mind and body than their opponents. Tricks that do succeed against a Danthiri will only work once, as they as a people never forget when someone outwits them. They are capable of great feats calculated savagery but such events are rare. They are curious about the world around them and are quick to make use of what knowledge they obtain.
Physical Description:
Danthiri are best described as wiry. Standing anywhere from 5’ to 5’6” tall with males and females being of equal height they are stunningly quick and capable of amazing physical contortions. Their skin ranges from dark blue to deep ebon with hair ranging from white to platinum in hue. Their eyes often shift colors depending on their moods, dark colors when calm and lighter colors when angry or aroused.
Homeworld:
They originate well beyond the Galaxy across the Galactic Abyssal through what most know as the Unknown regions. Currently members of this race are holding both Dathomir and Myrkr.
Languages:
They speak their own native language but also know a silent hand-gesture language used during raids or ambushes.
Special Traits:
The Danthiri are by and large rarely force-users but nearly all of the race can sense it being used.
Their eyesight is capable of seeing in all forms of darkness.
Given their long lifespan the average Danthiri has had far more years to learn various skills and abilities compared to most races.
Danthiri females are very skilled in the semi-force-like art called ‘Weaving’. The basic elements (Earth, Air, Fire and Water) plus the more complex structures built by technology can be effected by a Weaver. It takes time and concentration but doors can be made to open, walls to buckle or crumble, breezes formed to carry words to a specific location (range of sight only), fires to flare or go out entirely and the like. Weaving cannot be done quickly nor under the stress of battle.
All Danthiri possess the innate ability to ‘slide’ or to appear in a location different from their actual one. It is an optical illusion that warps light waves so will be able to fool cameras and droids that see using the visible spectrum. The displacement is never more then a few feet and lasts for only a brief period. Striking at the false image causes it to fade revealing the true location. AT BEST it can be used once a day.
Conclusion:
Danthiri are a dangerous race given to an utter lack of morality instead adhering to a set of Ethics that most would find questionable at best. They learn at an accelerated rate and master technology at a wildfire pace. They are lean lithe warriors, devious manipulative diplomats, and cunning assassins all rolled into one.
