The Scanians of Akiva (Dagudashaag 0935) are a technologically advanced Human Chimera with a humanoid appearance.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
Scanians were genetically engineered by a Solomani genetic engineering company from normal human stock in order to allow colonization of high gravity, water worlds. A Scanian male will average 1.8m in height and weighs approximately 80 kilograms. A female averages about 1.6m and 68 kilograms. Height-to-weight ratio for males is 45 kg per metre thereby increasing muscular capacity. The Solomani geneers decided to use a planet in the Dagudashaag sector [0935], which they called Gaea, for their experimentation. To endure the intense cold, high gravity and effects of the sea they altered the colonists’ genes to create a number of mutations.
Scanians divide themselves between "wet" and "dry" communities, the former preferring to live as much in the sea as possible, the latter preferring air-filled habitats. The two groups are quite tolerant of each other and sometimes share habitats, divided into "dry" and "wet" parts. [1]
Culture[edit]
Today the term Scanian also refers to those who follow the teachings of the Prophet Benjamin Ra' Scania, regardless of race. The teachings of Scania are supposed to teach its followers never to lie or cheat and to give them the ability to read the truth in others (i.e., read body language).
The Scanians are noted for their Nehuitei, a trader caste.
Language[edit]
As well as Anglic, Scanians speak Göheimsan.
Na is a specialist sign language used by Aquans, the engineered aquatic branch of the Scanian people. Although most Aquan settlements use their own variations, the basics of Na remain the same throughout the Dagudashaag Sector and beyond. Na is a very subtle language, which relies heavily on interpreting the signer’s body language in order to be able to ‘read’ the message in its proper context. It uses a variety of finger flicks and minute alterations in facial display to convey a wide variety of concepts. Na was designed by Aquans to be used without affecting the user’s performance while swimming.
