Some say the Albion created the Arnam out of Peloran base stock. Others think the Arnam came first. Whatever the case, the Arnam are genetically engineered supersoldiers, much like the Peloran, but they operate best under water. They generally sport slightly larger chests than most humans to fit the extra set of gills that allow them to breath under water, slightly longer arms and legs, and slightly larger hands and feet, complete with webbed fingers and toes. They would still pass for normal, if extraordinarily fit, humans were it were not for the dark blue or purple skin and the coal-black eyes that unnerve most people. The eyes are why nearly every Arnam wears a fancy set of shades when above water.

We’re coming on the Christmas Season now. We’ve done the Black Friday Mosh Pit Battle so we can start being nice to each other again. Let’s all look forward to getting together with friends and family, maybe eating a bit too much, and maybe giving gifts to people. The gifts don’t have to be expensive. Some of the best gifts are made just with our time, creativity, and maybe even a little dash of love. If we are letting our sentimental sides out for a romp of course. My wishes for a good Christmas Season to you all.

The Aesiran follow a kind of honor code that Earth’s diplomats have so far been unable to entirely understand. It is not purely military oriented, nor is it built around public service or any other common practices on Earth. Family is a large part of it, but there are numerous other factors. The acquisition of personal, family, and some form of communal honor the diplomats have not yet quantified appears to be the point of their lives. When something of worth needs to be done, someone is chosen to have the honor to lead, and then others have the honor to join them. A successful conclusion brings honor to everyone involved. Failure does not. The Aesiran are not fans of failure, and have little use for those who fail often.
