Xarzith Woari

Eshue take on an appearance resembling bipedal, humanoid Earthan avians. They always come in dark colors, with simple, bright, glowing markings on their joints and faces. The color of an Eshue's electricity is the same color as their markings. Their markings, blood, and the inside of their mouths all glow, but their eyes do not. Their vision is remarkable; Eshue have amazing color vision.They can see beyond what humans can, with colors other than the visible spectrum; though it is mostly centered around nighttime usage. They have very good hearing as well, as they need to be able to pick up the sound of electricity in order to communicate with most other Eshue. They are also very, very intelligent. Unlike earthan species with carbon-based cells, Eshue have an unknown chemical makeup. Their body consists mostly of a powerful, conductive glowing acid, which gives them almost total control of electric energy. They do not need an atmosphere in order to survive; if the planet has none at all, they can create their own and prevent any other cell-based life forms from settling. Eshue sweat is like battery acid, and it conducts electricity very well. If pools of it collect on the ground, it will ignite easily. Their markings are where their skin is thinnest. If the markings are punctured, blood will quickly flow out, endangering both the Eshue and the attacker. They naturally produce an oil that will leave their fur/feathers with a greasy texture, and if it is left on the skin for too long, it will start to corrode the skin cells and most likely cause infection. Eshue have to bathe several times a day to remove this oil, even though it does not harm them. It just smells bad to them. A large group can create electrical storms and trigger an Aurora Borealis.

Markings An Eshue’s markings are the most important part of their society. Every Eshue has two types of markings: Large circles and thin lines. The circles on their foreheads represent age. A new one appears every 7,500 years or so. Lines under their forehead dots represent health. These do not change over their lifetime, and the more they have, the healthier the Eshue is predicted to be. Lines running under the eyes represent intelligence. It is always one line, with several breaking off at the very end and getting smaller as they reach the beak. Five breaks means the Eshue is predicted to practically be a genious, while one means the Eshue is of average intelligence. “Target” shaped markings appear on their knees. These represent strength. With more circular lines around the center dot, the Eshue is thought to become very powerful in their later years. Lines on their feet represent agility. One means they are average, and five means they are going to be a true athlete.

Behavior Eshue are often passive/neutral to others, unless attacked, in which they will immediately become hostile. To warn a predator/invader of danger, Eshue will rub their wings together and begin to glow brightly. This happens because their pulse will pick up and the adrenaline energizes the acidic properties, creating the glow.
