Korovich



The korovich are the most intelligent of species in the known universe. They are also the oldest by a large margin, though that has done little for their impact to things. They have always chosen to observe from a distance without ever directly intervening.

As a race, they are reminiscent of a sphinx. They are very feline in nature though how much so can vary. One pureblood korovich could look completely like a sphinx, complete with paws, tail, and even fur. Another could instead stand tall, have hands and feet, lack body hair or a tail, and even have human ears. The only thing that always gives away a korovich is their eyes which are always have an iris in the shape of a slit. This fits as their homeworld is often in darkness or low-light. Heterochromia is also a very common attribute for korovichs as well.

Origins
They call their homeworld of Abaddon, Iruseh, which in their language roughly translates to 'Bane of valkiss' which is a reference to what was once their greatest enemy. The korovich were always a very peaceful race but that did not mean they lacked the means to fight.

They created a weapon capable of piercing into the heart of a world and then creating a Maelstrom effect. With this done, the planet's core would be devastated and the Elements contained within would go wild, ultimately rending the planet apart. As the valkiss lacked any form of technology, they were easily vanquished by this weapon and hunted to extinction.

Korovich are also the only race to demonstrate great skill with Thought as an Element with some even being capable of learning it in addition to other Elements though this is very rare.
