About his Alein Race:Ur’Nu Notes
1. General information
a. Skin colors range from pale to dark green. This depends on where the respective
member of the species grew up in relation to sun-exposure. The lighter the green,
the more sun was received as not many cells were required to harvest solar energy.
Conversely, dark green would mean that the member lived far from the sun and
required as many skin cells as possible to absorb the required amount of sunlight.
i. After the growth and development stages, the amount of surface exposure
to the sun becomes irrelevant though it has been noted that those with
more green in bright environments tend to have an increase in energy.
Thus, they are perfect for long-distance traverses through extremely bright
environments as well as are perfect for hard labor on starships and in space
where direct exposure to sunlight will be readily available.
b. Nutrition and basic functional biology:
i. Sunlight is paramount to the growth and subsistence of a Ur’Nu, much like
humans. Though, unlike humans, Ur’Nu are able to more readily use the
solar energy to increase metabolic rates within their biology.
ii. Because of this increase in metabolism, Ur’Nu are known to be constantly
hungry so eat quite often. Their basic diet consists of insects on their
native world as well as fruits from the plants that they live within.
iii. Because of their plantlike nature, Ur’Nu are also able to readily gather
nutrients from the soil by burrowing their toes into the ground. The toes
are actually roots that can actively increase in length if necessary to access
nutrients found deeper in soils.
iv. Much like Terran-based life forms, Ur’Nu and their fellow creatures on
their plant depend on dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) for maintenance of
liquid.
2. Genesis
a. Ur’Nu, as these plantlike creatures call themselves, come from a planet covered in
thick, luscious jungles that would be a prime location for resource harvesting by us
humans. The planet has large oceans around the continents though coverage of
land and water seem to be equal. This creates a very humid environment thanks to
its energetic star that allows for the planet to remain warm at all times. Were it not
for the fact that the hazards of the planet prove to be far too dangerous to be
worth the risk, this planet would already be stripped bare. The race is primitive yet
advanced to a point. Ur’Nu do not actively strip entire plots of land of their
natural elements to create artificial structures but instead use the natural plant life
as their homes. Trees on the surface of the planet average at around two to three
kilometers tall. Smaller plants survive in the shadow of these gargantuan growths
though even some of the smaller plants could be as large as vehicles. The planet’s
natural inhabitants aside from the Ur’Nu are predominantly invertebrates with
extremely hard exoskeletons. These insects range from the size of a Terran mite to
massive bulldozing beetles that could easily demolish a Terran tank. The creatures
are omnivorous by food selection and eat anything from plants to other insects.
The creatures are mostly very territorial but have their variations of aggressive and
passive species.
b. One peculiar notion that human scientists have noted is that the plants all seem to
have basic level of sentience. The plants have nervous systems with entire nodes
built inside the hardened cores that serve as nerve clusters for basic level thought
processing. The plants are also capable of rudimentary motor controls with some
plants noted as capable of devouring predators that would otherwise have
devoured it in turn. Human scientists believe that this is how the Ur’Nu came to
be through strange evolutionary processes.
c. It is believed that the original organic creatures that evolved on the planet evolved
into plantlike species with synaptic fibers for the primitive nervous systems that
were present in such primordial animals. Because of this, the organic material
began to evolve into plants with synaptic fibers. Eventually, these synaptic fibers
formed nerve clusters similar to the ones found in current plants though on a much
smaller scale.
d. Further down the line, it was believed that the plants began to have more and
more motor controls through overdeveloped cells similar to muscle cells of the
primordial creatures that caused such plants to grow. Because of this, plants were
able to move more readily and are able to more actively stimulate the pistil and
stamen. While many plants were afforded a degree of movement, it wasn’t until
the sentience of the plants evolved in highly concentrated clusters of synaptic
fibers. During these times, the plants began to actively move more and more.
Some plants were found to be content with being stationary, but one particular
type of plant was more fond of movement. These became the first and most
primitive of the Ur’Nu. While movement was very restricted in human terms,
these plants were able to move multiple meters in a matter of a few minutes
through use of root crawling: Pulling one shortened and stubbed root out at a time
and reinserting it into the ground at a different location. Modern plants make
active use of root crawling for the purpose of sustenance. Plants are known to
change location in small areas in order to achieve a maximum amount of nutrients
from the soil around as well as receive as much sunlight as possible.
e. Eventually, these primitives developed into more efficient bipedal creatures that
were capable of traveling tremendous distances quickly compared to their ancient
cousins. These new Ur’Nu also developed into two different genders. This need
grew when the ancient Ur’Nu were becoming more and more isolated from one
another. While self-stimulation of the stamen and the pistil was possible, it was
not near as productive as it would’ve been when two plants were able to bond
together. Similar to the worms of Earth, these hermaphroditic plants began to seek
one another out in order to have the required stimulation. Each subsequent
generation, however, began to become more and more specialized in the female
and the male roles until males and females became two separate entities.
3. Basic Biology and Anatomy
a. The average Ur’Nu, unlike their much more massive brethren that were the plants
and trees that they lived in and around, are shorter than the height of an average
human. In this case, Ur’Nu are more humanoid at first glance save for the skin
tones and facial structures.
i. Average Males: 165cm
ii. Average Females: 157cm
b. While it is normally considered that rapid metabolic rates are associated with short
life spans, Ur’Nu live for a surprisingly long span. Because of their constant
nourishment from the soils in which they thrive in and from the sun that they rely
on, these plant people are more than capable of sustaining cellular division and
health at far more efficient rates than humans.
c. Ur’Nu have four lungs in total with each pair specialized to a certain gas. The
planet in which the Ur’Nu originate from has an oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere thus
the creatures breathe oxygen. Much like their stationary cousins, though, the
Ur’Nu also produce oxygen through photosynthesis by using carbon dioxide. Thus
one pair takes in oxygen and produces carbon dioxide while the other takes in
carbon dioxide and produces oxygen. Some human scientists have hypothesized
that these creatures could live in a hermetically sealed environment and live off of
their own naturally produced gasses so long as proper nutrition and sunlight is
provided.
d. Much like all living creatures, the Ur’Nu must sleep. However, they sleep in the
way of the ancients, by standing. With their roots firmly imbedded into the
ground, the outer layer of skin is able to harden to create a sort of bark-like cover.
This allows for the Ur’Nu to remain entirely motionless while asleep and allows
for natural protection against less-dangerous creatures such as smaller, more
annoying insects. However, this “bark” is not capable of protecting an Ur’Nu from
weapons. Still, they are able to survive a substantial amount of impacts before
breaking.
4. Technology
a. While the Ur’Nu still live in and around trees and still worship strange plantlike
and animalistic deities, they do have a degree of technology. The Ur’Nu have
developed manufacturing centers that are more centered around the manipulation
of plant life. In these manufacturing centers, the Ur’Nu have been able to create a
foam-like material that has the same consistency as soil but hold far more nutrients
than the same volume of natural soil would.
b. Ur’Nu also have developed a sort of gelatin based on tree-sap that gives more
moisture and hydration than normal water. This allows for the Ur’Nu to cover vast
distances without worrying about water supplies as a single ounce of the super-
saturated gel is equivalent to one cup of pure water.
c. Ur’Nu have also been able to mine, process, and manipulate heavy elements to
form more solid transports than wooden ones though these are almost exclusively
done in large tracts of land that are bare of trees. Because of the world-wide
forest, however, these naturally occurring clearings are rare to come by and are
mostly found in deep continental interiors where the humidity is lower than
average thus causing for less plant growth.
d. Ur’Nu do not have actual power plants to provide electricity or any sort of power.
Their main source of heat for the manipulation of metal is thus fire through use of
burning dead wood.
e. Ur’Nu have no firearms based on chemical-propellants but instead rely on spears
and bows for ranged defense. Close range defense is more centered around hand-
to-hand and weapons similar to daggers. They do, however, have a peculiar device
that straps around the mouth of an Ur’Nu and, through the amplification of sound
come out of an Ur’Nu’s voice box, are capable of destroying large pieces of rock,
earth, dead wood, and could very likely be used as sonic weapons.
f. Ur’Nu have no spaceflight capabilities but are very skilled at reading star-charts
regardless due to their constant study of the skies.
5. Beliefs/Religion
a. The Ur’Nu are very naturalistic in their view and approach. This is hardened even
more as they are easily capable of communicating with other species simply
through touch. Each plant and animal species on the planet has evolved with
heavy growth of synaptic fibers and allows for transmissions of messages on a
non-vocal level through touch. This has also allowed for the shared and stored
memory of animals and plants into naturally occurring growths of nerve clusters
that are as large as one of the trees. This creatures a sense of love and preservation
for the Ur’Nu as all memories will forever be stored in these massive nerve
clusters until they are destroyed.
b. Because of this understanding of their ways, the Ur’Nu avoid heavy industry as it
can and will cause damage to the plant life. The manufacturing centers are always
a constant topic for debate and discussion. While dead trees are indeed used to
fuel the furnaces and no life trees are destroyed, the amount of local pollution has
been known to be damaging. While the carbon dioxide output is easily
counterbalanced by the amount of oxygen output, it is still a sensitive area and
most Ur’Nu speak little of it. The metal that the tree-cities receive are received
silent and without thanks. These manufacturing centers also take the highest
amount of care of the life around them in order to maintain a balance.
c. Also, because of the lack of heavy industry, the Ur’Nu do not have any forms of
atmospheric and space flight. The need for heavy minerals, cleared fields, and
processing of chemicals is considered to cause too much damage to forests that it
could easily destroy the Ur’Nu and their way of life. Especially if one of the nodes were destroyed.
