Nehelicros

==Name: Nehelicros 

Race: Nehelic. The Nehels are shorter and skinnier than humans, and much quicker as well. Their skin is mottled gray, and their eyes are bright yellow. They are utterly hairless. Government: Despotic Monarchy. Ruler: Sargon X Territory: Nomadic. Starts RP in Mesopotamia. Military: Nehelicros uses tanks extensively in its military. The Nehelic tank is very fast and very heavily armored, also used as a troop transport and an artillery emplacement. There are about 10,000 tanks in the Nehelic army. The real symbol of Nehelic military, though, is the mobile fortress. There are 4 of these in total, massive 1000-ton mobile emplacements that are sure to instill fear in the hearts of enemies. In short, anyone who can fight is in the military. History: At first the Nehels were just a group of humans living in the central Asian region, surviving just as people all over did, around 400 years ago. It was thanks to Badrahos the Great, though, that they became the roving civilization that they are today. He was an energetic visionary who saw fit to make a new species, claiming it was the destiny of the Nehels to become something greater. He had them designed to live on less food, and to be in general more viable in the harsh wasteland of the steppes, where food was at a premium. Thus it was the the Nehelic race was born.

It wasn't until much later that the Nehels became nomadic, perhaps 200 years ago. During the intermittent period, they became more and more restless and warlike, spreading out over the steppe and slowly becoming nomadic. The characteristic Nehel style of blitz-like mobile warfare was developed. Eventually, Sargon I united the whole peoples under his banner and started the tradition of the nomad empire. Since then they have slowly wandered the Eurasian landmass, invading whatever settlements they come across and staying for a few years before moving on. Population: 100,000 Tech: The Nehels have mastered small-scale fusion, using it in almost all of their numerous vehicles. Their weaponry is mostly limited to the classic gun and missile. The Nehels used to have genetic engineering capabilities, but have since forgotten the trade. Nehelic engineers are exalted for their advanced skills in all aspects of mechanization, which only improve year after year. ==
