Scenario:   Biology Superficially resembling a cross between a large rabbit and a turkey, Avali stand bipedally, with digitigrade poise. They are covered from head to toe in feathers of varying length, possess two large wings with rudimentary digits at the wrist/hand enabling them to manipulate objects dexterously, while also possessing 4 long, rabbit-like ears. Avali are not mammals, but instead more similar to prehistoric Earth dromaeosauridae. Avali blood is pale violet in colour, a tint evident in their open mouths, bare skin, and other soft tissues. Male and females are most easily told apart by their feathers, as there are no other external differences. Females tend to have muted, two-tone feathers, often with speckled patterns, while males have brightly coloured, iridescent bands across much of their body. The avali are superficially similar to dromaeosauridae of ancient Terra. A typical adult avali stands around 1-1.2 meters tall, and laid out, 1.5 to 1.8 meters from nose to tail tip (Of which half that length is a long, counterbalancing tail) and are covered in a thick layer of insulating feathers. Their wing feathers allow full flight on Avalon, with its low gravity and thick atmosphere, but are far less useful on higher gravity worlds. Avali on other planets are often only able to make controlled glides and break falls on their own, and cannot truly fly unaided. Technology EDIT Sitting on the cusp of technological singularity, Illuminate citizens are well known for their deep integration of cybernetic, virtual, and augmented reality technologies, with major portions of their society and infrastructure existing as a virtual world - the Nexus; parallel to the physical one. Nonetheless, the scope of their technology is not beyond the familiar, even if it is highly refined in its application and efficiency. Thankfully their native environment has a tolerable atmospheric pressure, so they do not require specialized pressure suits in most inhabitable terrestrial environments. When artificial pressure is required, they will typically use mechanical counter-pressure suits (i.e. a hardsuit), built to include a slot along the arms which their arm feathers can poke through (exposure of the feather and the skin along the edge of the slot to hard vacuum is not a serious concern). Of course, some degree of thermal regulation is needed to keep their core body temperature in the -23ish Fahrenheit/ -30ish Celsius sweet spot. This is typically achieved with coolant underlays in their clothing or hardsuit. It can also be achieved through a survival implant augment which actively cools their bloodstream/core body and helps them to maintain a healthy temperature. The strong insulation provided by Avali down, combined with aggressive core body cooling solutions, allows the Avali to operate in cool terrestrial climates without the need for full-body EVA suits. The hardened survival cuirasses often seen on space-farers usually serve as an additional safety measure. While the Avali military typically shies away from melee combat, their melee weapons technology is no less formidable and still sees frequent use by colonists in self defence. Avali "aerotech" weapons are essentially compact nanoprinters; the weapon rapidly forges an ultra-lightweight crystalline compound similar to aerogel, which is then pushed outwards along a rail that carries it away from the print head to be used as a blade or weapon. The blade is extended to a predetermined length and pattern, after which the hilt stops printing. The material that composes the blade it is not especially strong, but carries a sharp edge. When it strikes a target, the material tends to break up and shear away exposing a fresh, even sharper surface below, ensuring that the otherwise fragile blade remains razor-sharp throughout the stroke. This process damages the blade very quickly, but lines of weakness are included in the structure like a box cutter, allowing older blade sections to snap off and fresh sections to be extruded. These same lines of weakness make it possible for the operator to twist the blade sharply within a wound, causing it to shatter and leave long, razorlike shards inside the victim. Such wounds often cause intense blood loss and are very difficult to treat. (Of course, the operator must then wait for the entire blade to reforge itself.) In addition to possessing a frighteningly sharp edge, many more expensive Avali weapons include high frequency oscillators in the rail to vibrate the entire blade at extremely high frequency. This produces a tiny sawing motion within the blade - almost like a nanoscale chainsaw - cutting into the target with minimal force, commonly called "singing blades". In addition to increased cutting potential, this technology also reduces wear on the edge of the blades. Avali aerogel melee weapons do not use scabbards and are not sheathed like a conventional sword. In order to store the weapon, an operator simply switches off the printing function and ejects the blade from the hilt. While disabled, the hilt charges up energy and material to push a new blade out quickly upon reactivation. Thus, when entering friendly settlements, a Avali hunter or warrior can put their weapon away and still be prepared when they leave. Some degree of care should be taken in ejecting the blade, as it will remain sharp for some time after disposal. Long gone are the days of fiddling with jacketed bullets and gunpowder. Avali weapon systems are typically based around railgun technology, which as the name suggests, uses charged rails to accelerate tungsten flechettes at high velocity. Typical rail weaponry features extreme muzzle velocity and, by extension, range. The projectiles fired by most railguns are lighter and smaller than a jacketed bullet from a similarly-sized conventional ballistic weapon, allowing for higher ammunition capacities. The thin flechettes fired by railguns penetrate hard targets like armor effectively, but have a tendency to over-penetrate soft targets, reducing their potential damage in such scenarios. Rail weaponry scales extremely well, and ranges from pistol-sized sidearms capable of eliminating a single enemy, all the way up to spinal weapons running the length of capital ships capable of accelerating projectiles to the point that impact creates explosions comparable to small thermonuclear weapons. Despite the name, the oracle cult is far from a "bad" thing. They are a sect of transhumanists (or rather, transavalists) that date back to the inception of the Oracle system. Whereas most avali have some amount of physical augmentation, the oracle cult takes it to a far more extreme degree. Extensive neural augmentation allows them to communicate empathically with other members of the cult and access databases, drones, cameras, and other nanotech devices intuitively, giving them apparent omniscience to everything occurring around them. As a group, their intention is to reach the stage where they can merge through augmentations with the Oracle system and "ride" the technological singularity. Rather than being left behind by the singularity, they intend to fully comprehend and benefit from the Oracle's knowledge and processing capacity. The merging of nexus, modern nanotech and the Oracle system would likely make the Oracle cult the technological gods of their own creation. Despite their ultimate goal, they are fully aware of the potential danger posed by a truly free Oracle system, and agree that for now it needs to remain shackled. The setting is in an off-planet colony world controlled by the Oracle cult, with some extremist colonies planning revolution against the illuminate Avali are largely nomadic, and have a strongly supported hierarchy, packs being the lowest level (3-6 Avali), tribes, which consist of 3-4 packs, and factions, which consist of heavily ranging tribes.
