Zadracks are a races of self proclaimed perfect peoples. They are the most gorgeous of all the races on the probe, just ask them. (Most other races see them as great looking but not the most gorgeous.)
Zadracks are known as the most clueless races on the probe. They are great fighters, great diplomats and great slavers, but most of their trades, societal laws, basic daily needs, and the like are all second thoughts to them. Thus their infrastructure is hardly capable of great emergencies. However, they are great when war breaks out as they all come together and focus on a single thing. Outside of war, they all have their own agendas and rarely agree on anything.
Due to their ability to learn things at an accelerated rate, they can learn a task within minutes and master it within hours while others could take years to master the same task. This quick learning ability is so powerful that they are known to read an entire encyclopedia within seconds and recall everything in it nearly a century later. The only problem is that they don’t seem to learn wisdom with all the knowledge and modesty is not within their talents at all. Their basic clothes are enough to cover essential areas and bare as much skin as possible. Many races see them as immodest. Others call them much worse.

Zadrackian Quick Learning: Allows user to learn things at a much faster rate than normal learning capabilities. The user removes -100 Training to all training costs when learning a new proficiency. It also adds and extra -100 for each level of learning for that same proficiency. his racial ability can be stacked with any other abilities.
Zadrackian Metabolism: Due to their natural Metabolism, the Zadracks have to eat much more on a regular basis to stay the same weight. If they choose to lose weight, they can simply not eat for a couple of days. Starvation doesn’t have the same hold on a Zadrack as it would most humanoids. If they begin to starve, they will begin taking on extra calories from the manna surrounding them. This can be done for up to a week before they actually start to starve from the loss of food. However, the Zadrack can also control their Metabolism to slow it down for short amounts of time and hold as much energy as needed for a short amount of time. This keeps the Zadrack slim at all times but keeps them alive in the worst of circumstances. (Costs 50 Stam. with each use).

The central government is chosen once a generation by a democratic ballet, though most don’t bother to participate. The same family has been in power for seven generations so far due to the fact that only 1% of the populace even bothers to vote in the elections, which are held only once every fifty years.
The ruling class make the rules and the authorities enforce those laws when they choose and when it suites them. Most are easily swayed with bribes and all of the government is corrupt in one way or another. The laws that are passed usually only help the rich, but will help others when it suites the rich in one way or another.
The general populace are given free reign over one another and some take advantage of the fact, but most of the populace is too busy trying to better themselves and their families to try and take from other families. That said, they will take whatever they can get if possible.
In times of war, however, everything changes. Once a declaration of war is signed within the government and the populace is given notice, everyone is on board for the glory they will gain in the fighting. The Zadrack have been known to go into fights they knew they wouldn’t win simply due to the idea of gaining glory in the end. If their name lives on through the ages, they are fine with surrendering their lives. This is true with all Zadrack. Though they are vein in regular life, they are the best war time soldiers most humanoids can find.
Zadracks use technology to help themselves, to make life easier and to make themselves look the best as possible. They don’t truly use it to further their society so much as their families and friends. Due to this they don’t have mass transit or major technological advances in discovery or science, but they do have great advances in medical healing and alterations. They also have great advancements in cleaning and disinfecting of skin and hair.
They use technology for weaponry, but do not make their own, simply steal, or borrow, from other races.
Zadracks believe that every deity is beautiful, save for the ugly ones, and that they should all be worshipped in one way or another. They will pray to whichever deity will help them in their time of need. They do ceremonies for all deities that allow them to have parties and come together for meetings of any sort. They love to show off to one another and other races. Due to this, much of their time is spent at lavish parties and grand balls. As a race, they spend ninety percent of their time planning or throwing parties of one sort or another.
When they go to war, however, their mannerisms change drastically. The Zadracks will only pray to Themolus, the Suprema of War. Themolus takes the souls of the glorified, those that gain great glory and places them in his heaven. His heaven is a great banquet all that serves millions and is in a perpetual series of parties. The hall is known as Mlemuam. Many will call, “See you in Mlemuam!” before going into battle.
Before any battle, they will hold a great banquet and sacrifice to Themolus for a good outcome. If their sacrifice is accepted then Themolus will fight by their side. If it is not, then he will fight against them. Thus the sacrifices have ranged from a beloved steer to the first born child of the governing party. A sacrifice like this is considered extremely honorable and if the battle is won, then the name of the heroes and those of the sacrificed will live on within the Zadracks for eternity.
Zadracks are very narcissistic and as such their persona is Callous (15).
Zadracks, though narcissistic, will always help their family when needed. They will expect something out of it and will collect when possible. Outside of family, however, it is pretty much every man for themselves. It is a great deal for a Zadrack to call someone family.
Zadrackian Mental Dampener: Due to their strange metabolism and ability to learn things so quickly, mental abilities cost 1/2 of their actual attack against a Zadrack. Mind control take double the Will and mental connections coast 1 extra Stam. per round of use.
Zadrackian Loyalty: Once a Zadrack sees someone as family, as already established, they will help them in anyway they can for a price. However, once they “love” someone they will become loyal to them and thus give anything for them. In this manner, if a Zadrack chooses to be loyal to someone or something, if is nearly impossible for them to turn against that person or establishment. They will find every excuse in the book to keep their loyalty with the person or establishment. If something breaks that loyalty for the Zadrack, it will change to hatred and they will be compelled to destroy the establishment or person.
