Sexual Dimorphism: Arorendas have some of the most diverse dimorphism in the galaxy, as not only do females and males look vastly different in design, but their power sets are divergent to one another. It ties into their culture and religion based around the sun and moon.

Males are night dwellers, who worship the moon, their colours and powers relating to it. Their colour palettes are often shades of blue, with greens and turquoise shades and highlights. Men are smaller than the females, being defensive fighters, but have longer tail, neck and head crest feathers that are used to display their cold colours, and are often used when looking to impress a potential mate.

Females are day dwellers, who worship the sun, and much like the males their colours and powers relate to it. Their colours consist of warm browns,with shades and highlights of oranges and yellows. Females are larger in size, being close-combat fighters, thus having shorter longer tail, neck and head crest feathers to not get in the way. They often use their large size and strength to impress a potential mate.

Children, strangely enough, not only do not have their colours when they are young, but also don’t have a gender of any kind. Their genders are, in a way, decided by themselves, based on how long they spend their time during the day, or during the night, and once they’ve reached a certain age they are blessed with the colours representing what time of day they spent the most time with. Their families will hold a massive dinner celebration for them, and by tradition this means the child can pick out their actual name, since growing up they only have nicknames then anything official.

Behaviour/Bio: Being very religious aliens, Arorendas have been worshiping the sun and moon for as long as their history has been recorded down, the two space bodies believed to be where they received their powers and abilities, and have thus built their entire culture around them. In their religion, the sun and moon are gods, with the sun being female, and the moon being male, who both fell in love and together created the Arorenda’s homeworld, with female Arorendas being the daughters of the sun, and the male Arorendas being the sons of the moon. Because of this tie to their culture, it’s not uncommon to see them hosting celebrations and praying towards their gods, and they think highly of them.

Due to the love story behind their gods, Arorendas are a very romantic race of aliens, and once they find who they believe to be their soulmates, they become very loyal and tend to be mates for life, this has even expended to space travel as they have no quarrels for falling in love with other alien races, and plenty say they make great partners in marriage. Many have even noted that they make great counsellors of love and relationships.

Since men are night dwellers, and females are day dwellers, their cities are said to never be asleep, something always happens, dawn and dusk being their most active hours since that’s when both sides of the species interact the most. They spend a lot of their time doing activities related to their religion, whether that be making jewelry blessed by the sun and moon, performing dances and traditional songs, or hosting combat trials for entertainment, it’s not a place to be easily bored by, though it’s recommended to bring earbuds if you plan on sleeping there during a visit.

Arorendas are not ones to push their religion on others, but will happily explain it to you if you choose to ask, and you’ll be sure to know a lot about it if you ever visit their home planet. They can get offended and even aggressive if you are to insult or look down at their religion and gods, and if you can not respect their culture, they can not respect you as a person, even banning people from their home if they push it too far.

Typically, most cities are run by a royal family, a queen to represent the sun, and a king to represent the moon. The king and queen are either family members, or connected through marriage. However, some smaller cities don’t have rulers, sometimes either an elected leader, or a council system.

Abilities:

Males/Females:

Flight - With their winged arms, they are able to take flight and are decent at stopping, turning and performing tricks. However, they can not fly long distances, though they are perfect at gliding with the assistance of wind.

Talons/Beaks - Being incredibly sharp, their talons and beaks are able to easily slice and crack open things. This was originally evolved to help break open fruits and nuts for them to eat, or dig into trees for insects. But it can be used to defend themselves from predators or foes attacking them.

Shining Wings - They are able to concentrate the energy inside them to produce shining lights from their feathers and gems, creating a blinding light of colours that can disorientate others and cause a strong migraine afterwards. It’s often used as a distraction for a chance to strike or to make a clean getaway. They can produce a mild version of them to create a beautiful effect, mostly when showing off during a dance, or to attract the attention of someone they wish to flirt with.

Males:

Healing - By laying their feathered wings across as injury/wound, male Arorendas can create a healing energy pulse that speeds up the healing process in something, able to close up large cuts and holes in someone rather quickly. This, however, means they can not regenerate areas highly damaged, say an arm that’s been cut off, instead only able to close up the wound to stop the bleeding if the damage is something out of their range. They can also cure mild illnesses and diseases, and anything stronger they can either prolong and weaken for a short amount of time.

Shield Casting - They are able to create bubble shaped dome shields around themselves and anyone close enough to them. It’s decently strong, and takes a lot to break, but does require focus and concentration to form and keep up.

Night Vision - Due to living a lot of their time in the dark, males possess strong night vision, which comes in handy when hunting for prey or food sources.

Night Empowerment - With their lives tied to the moon and night, males have been noted to be stronger during the dark hours, with their powers at their peak when the moon is at its highest point or during a new moon. This does mean they aren’t as strong during the day or anywhere similar to a bright day.

Cold Temperature Manipulation - They are able to make the surrounding air near them colder than normal, even freezing, while they are unaffected. They can even make their bodies cold to touch.

High-Speed/Stamina/Flexibility - Being smaller and lighter in size, males are a lot quicker on their feet, and are not designed to be close combat fighters. Instead, they work better as medics or as defence, with their healing and shield powers. This also means they can be very quiet, able to sneak around without being noticed.

Females:

Bladed Feathers - The tips of their wings have bladed feathers, used for slicing and striking within fights, though also used in rituals to reflect sunlight in certain directions. They are also able to super heat their metallic feathers, able to leave nasty burns, though can come in handy during other situations.

Fire Talons - They are able to ignite their talons, on their hands and feet, with a blazing fire used to leave burns or set alite to something. One of their most grueling tactics his to latch their talons around a part of you, and keep burning it with their flames, holding on for as long as they can.

Blinding Light Immunity - Since they spend a lot of time around the burning light of the sun, and work a lot with fire, females are immune to blinding light affecting their vision, allowing them to have a keen sight without it being blinded.

Day Empowerment - With their lives tied to the sun and day, females have been noted to be stronger during the light hours, with their powers at their peak when the sun is at its highest point. This does mean they aren’t as strong during the night or anywhere also dark enough.

Hot Temperature Manipulation - They are able to make the surrounding air near them hotter than normal, even burning, while they are unaffected. They can even make their bodies hot to touch.

High-Strength/Endurance/Flexibility - Females are bigger in size, and are designed for close combat fighting. This means that while they’re not as fast or quiet as men, they are able to put up quite the fight, and do not back down when danger is around.

Weaknesses:

Male/Females: When they moult, they are left vulnerable, since they flow a lot of their energy through their feathers. Losing too many feathers or damaged wings will hinder their flight, and they take time to grow back. Cracking their gems can cause issues for their powers, and it causes them a great deal of pain that can hinder them. Talking negatively about their culture/religion can make them aggressive, even acting without thinking.

Males: Weaker during the day, or anywhere with harsh enough lighting. Smaller and more delicate than females, and while they know how to fight, it’s not their core strength. Their longer feathers have been known to trip them up, and people have stepped on them, either by accident or on purpose.

Female: Breaking their bladed feathers will leave them without their biggest defence, along with taking quite some time to grow them back. Weaker during the night. While bigger and stronger than males, their size can be used against them, along with not being as fast as them.
