Created a page on "Ozzie"'s species ('Lanian'-- work in progress on the name, I guess) for reference and further detail as to what exactly it is. Because I have to show it somewhere, right? Only doing this cause there will maybe be one more of these things and I want to elaborate. Anyway, this is completely non-canonical like the rest of my stuff until someone decides it's okay.

By the way, that picture on my thing is outdated. It's gone through a lot of design changes (sorry, I don't think I'll keep that cool armor-- for now, at least).

Currently, only the biological section is filled out. Partly because I don't have the rest; partly because I want to keep some things unwritten until I have a chance to work more on my story.

Biology
Lanians are biologically similar to Gridmasks and other humanoid species in terms of skeletal/muscle structure and function/placement of organs. Their bones have a significantly higher tensile strength, however, and also tend to be thinner. In general, their muscles tend to be weaker and smaller than other similar species, leading to a very low physical strength. Their head is also of a significantly different shape and skull structure, leading to a much more animalistic appearance: a flattish head curved forward, two tall canine-like ears, and, most notably, two circular glassy prisms covering the eyes. Research has yet to show whether these are the eyes themselves or are simply ingrained over them.

Other differences include arms that end in a claw consisting of three opposable digits, rather than a traditional five-fingered hand. The feet are raised by structure, resembling an animal standing on its hind legs-- or simply someone standing on their tiptoes. These end in three digits each.

Lacking in physical capability, they instead rely on a unique organ system running up and down their back. Coils of a unique biological substance yet to be determined by science serve as an incredibly potent conduit for energy. An extension of this system is a long tail, which may be forked depending on lineage, which tends to drag on the ground. Energy of varying kinds is drawn up through this system and stored in the coils until they are fully ‘charged’; though natural energy such as kinetic, heat and sound may serve to gradually energize them, direct contact with an electrical current will charge it very quickly, sometimes in seconds.

The aforementioned stored energy is exerted as kinetic energy, allowing a form of limited telekinesis. The motion of the Lanian's tail will be applied to whatever is targeted-- the mass and size of the object depends on maturity as well as mental and physical capability. Additionally, there are reports of exposure to intense vibrations altering the effect of this ability. As the species has not yet warranted major study, these reports have not been investigated.

As only a very small number of members of this species are documented and have agreed to examination, science has yet to learn the functionings of their reproductive system. Current evidence points to that similar to Gridmasks.
