| + | == Species Information == |
||
| − | Physical Attributes: |
||
| − | Kellashee have decidedly feline facial features - whiskers, sharp teeth and leonine manes that frame their faces and cascade over their shoulders and down to their chest. Their ears are set to the sides of their heads and are elongated and vaguely leaf-shaped. Horns adorn their heads and these come in an astonishing variety. Their young are born with only tiny, soft nubs and their horns develop throughout childhood and into adolescence. Growth slows and eventually stops as they reach adulthood. Many Kellashee have antennae which function in a purely ornamental sense. |
||
| + | The Kellashee can be described as having the appearance of an anthropomorphic hybridisation of feline and fairy dragon, though their origins lie in neither. Theirs is a highly technological, yet deeply nature revering culture. |
||
| − | Their shoulders bear draconic wing armature including upper arm, elbow, forearm, and thumb. Instead of fingers with wing membranes, they have large butterfly/moth-like wing structures with three tiers and tendril-like ornamentation. Despite the fragile appearance of these wing structures, they are incredibly resilient and water repellent. |

||
| − | They generally stand between 4'6" to 5'9" and have softly rounded features that belie robust frames and a graceful demeanour. They are quick and nimble on land and in the air. They are thickly furred which acts as insulation in the many varied, and often harsh, climates of the living systems they nurture. Thick ruffs of fur encircle their wrists and ankles, providing more insulation against inclement weather conditions. Their fur patterns run the full gamut of feline-like markings from relatively plain to intricate spots and stripes and their colouration also runs from subtle to extremely bright. |
||
| + | == World Information == |
||
| − | Kellashee have long semi-prehensile tails that are thick at the base and taper towards the end, with a thick tuft of fur at the end. |
||
| ⚫ | Their home world, the [[Viridian Construct]], is a planetary ark construct; a created world surrounding a well-shielded yellow dwarf (G2V) star. The inner surface of this world bears a highly complex, finely tuned system of biomes containing richly flourishing ecosystems. The Kellashee are highly devoted to the upkeep of their world as it contains the last living traces of their prior home world, as well as vast collections of living systems that have been carefully and fastidiously transplanted from other threatened and dying worlds. |
||
| − | There are three sexes present in the species - male, female and neuter. Neuter kellashee cannot breed and are not numerous but are born to some families across Viridia in every generation. |
||
| + | == Government == |
||
| − | Psychokinetic Abilities: |
||
| − | Kellashee have the ability to draw upon energetic fields present in the world around them, be it from technology based fields or from the natural world around them. They can use this energy to weave illusion and teleport short distances. As it is extremely demanding on the body, typically these skills are only utilised when highly necessary, such as escaping danger. |
||
| + | The construct is overseen by a council of nine, three from each affinity. |
||
| − | Culture: |
||
| − | Kellashee are usually born with, or develop during childhood, one of three major affinities: |
||
| + | == Transport == |
||
| − | Living Systems Attuned - Individuals with this affinity are highly attuned to the ebb and flow of the natural world around them. They are instrumental in the successful integration of entire ecosystems right down to single species of fauna, flora and all between. |
||
| + | The Construct itself is a giant ship, a wandering planet. There are also smaller ships for exploration, transport and defence. |
||
| − | Mechanically Attuned - Individuals with this affinity are highly attuned to the mechanics and technology required to keep their world functioning. This affinity can range from the most basic mechanics to the most delicate technologies. |
||
| + | == Notable Individuals == |
||
| − | Empath Attuned - These individuals are found more rarely. They are quite often of the neuter sex, although any sex can have any affinity. They are attuned to the Kellashee as a species and devote their lives to the service of their kind. They fill many roles such as healers and arbiters, but can also have the ability to enhance the energetic fields surrounding themselves and those around them, giving them the ability to "push" their psychokinetic abilities to greater effect and at less of a physical cost. They can also have a slight heightening or dampening effect on the emotions of those around them which they may put to use in defusing emotionally charged events. |
||
| + | Though many Kellashee exist and flourish both on their home world and in many other planetary systems, a group of [[notable individuals]] rise above their brethren, distinguished through deed or word. Their acts of bravery, exploration, selflessness and many other noble attributes have earned them a place in Kellashee history. |
||
| − | Kellashee live in large, extended family groups. Despite the high level of technology, they refuse to set themselves apart from the living systems that they nurture and instead live amongst them at a relatively basic level. Technology is a part of their everyday lives, but not in an intrusive or destructive manner. |

Welcome to the Wiki for the Kellashee's Viridian Construct world-building project. The concept of the Kellashee and the Viridian Construct were created by Andrea Michael (Eo Fenstalker) for use as the basis for creative individuals to expand into character creation, role playing, storytelling, art and many other artistic ventures on a creative commons basis.
Species Information
The Kellashee can be described as having the appearance of an anthropomorphic hybridisation of feline and fairy dragon, though their origins lie in neither. Theirs is a highly technological, yet deeply nature revering culture.
Follow link for detailed information: Kellashee
World Information
Their home world, the Viridian Construct, is a planetary ark construct; a created world surrounding a well-shielded yellow dwarf (G2V) star. The inner surface of this world bears a highly complex, finely tuned system of biomes containing richly flourishing ecosystems. The Kellashee are highly devoted to the upkeep of their world as it contains the last living traces of their prior home world, as well as vast collections of living systems that have been carefully and fastidiously transplanted from other threatened and dying worlds.
Government
The construct is overseen by a council of nine, three from each affinity.
Transport
The Construct itself is a giant ship, a wandering planet. There are also smaller ships for exploration, transport and defence.
Notable Individuals
Though many Kellashee exist and flourish both on their home world and in many other planetary systems, a group of notable individuals rise above their brethren, distinguished through deed or word. Their acts of bravery, exploration, selflessness and many other noble attributes have earned them a place in Kellashee history.
History and Mythology
An ancient race, the majority of information pertaining to their origins are lost to the mists of time. The Kellashee were a species created to serve the existence of the construct, their prime directive that of saving and maintaining the last vestiges of dead and dying worlds, including their original home world.
Little is known in Kellashee society of the early histories. They were originally created as a genetically diverse, hardy and aesthetically beautiful species but were not autonomous or of high intelligence; this they developed over a millennium. A number of the elder race once lived within the construct as overseers but a devastating virus catastrophically reduced their numbers, eventually leaving the Kellashee to continue in their absence, driven by their biological charge to save and re-seed ecology via their affinities. The Construct is a wandering planet and a very long way from its original starting point and much information on the origins is stored on the ark in the ancient language. This language is virtually indecipherable to the Kellashee and what information is known of the creators has been interpreted in different ways according to linguists, leaving the true nature of their beginnings somewhat nebulous.
Kellashee tend to view their origins in two very diverse ways. Those who are very scientifically minded and evidence based lean towards "this is the information we have at hand, this is what we can get from it, anything more is lost to the ages". An origin myth appeared in folklore by those who are more spiritual in nature and a sect formed over time, Creator cultists, devoted to the idea of their creators as gods... to the point of fanaticism.
