Oskels

Oskels are a fictional species that originate from the planet Xylos in the Starfall galaxy. They are characterized by their tall, slender build, typically standing between seven and eight feet in height. Their skin color varies, ranging from deep blues and greens to earthy browns, often with iridescent patterns that shift in different lighting. Oskels possess large, almond-shaped eyes that are highly sensitive to light and capable of seeing a broader spectrum than humans. They have long, dexterous fingers, which they use for intricate crafting and delicate manipulation.

The Oskel society is highly communal and values intellectual pursuits and artistic expression. They are known for their advanced understanding of bio-engineering and their harmonious integration with their natural environment. Their cities are often built in organic shapes, blending seamlessly with the Xylosian landscape, which features bioluminescent flora and fauna. Oskels communicate through a combination of melodic vocalizations and subtle telepathic pulses, making their interactions nuanced and deeply empathetic. They are generally a peaceful species, preferring diplomacy and understanding over conflict, though they are formidable defenders of their home world when threatened. Their lifespan is considerably longer than that of humans, often spanning several centuries.
