Thread Prefix: species is sentient, fannon.
Name: species 25-A "black widows" known simply as "Widows."
Biology: they completely mimic human females save for small details, such as sharpened canines, cat like eyes, and pale skin, and impossibly beautiful forms, which they usually use to lure prey. It is believed they have evolved from insect arachnids, due to the fact a widows saliva is mildly acidic, but also an aphrodisiac, meant to keep prey in their grasp. widows tend to have pale skin, blonde, red, or brown hair, with eye colors matching their hairs. A sure fire way to tell a widow apart from a human woman, is to simply turn off the lights, a widow's eyes will shine.

Breeding: "black widows" have long relied on human males for reproduction, having killed and eaten their original male population long ago, they give most males the same treatment, although there has been reports of a widow growing attached to their mates, when this happens, they will form a extremely dominant, but loving bond, and stories say they can make perfect mothers and wives if they choose you. They almost always give birth to daughters, although extremely rarely, a widow can give birth to a male child.

Strengths: they share the same as human females save for the ability to enter a hibernation state, this can last for decades at a time, although there are some reports of a "black widow" sleeping for longer. They are also able to move extremely quickly in very short bursts. Widows do not age when they hibernate. But neither do they heal from any wounds suffered, their bodies essentially being put on stasis. Although full on force sensitivity among widows is just as rare as any other species, those that are force sensitive often lean into the darker side of the force, focusing on their passions, but they can also become jedi, if trained properly, such as in @Marian wandari's case, if a widow becomes a jedi, they usually focus on the discipline aspects of the jedi code, what's extremely odd, is that widows naturally lean to the dark side, yet show an extreme amount of kindness and devotion if one is trained in the light side of the force, as if it was always their personality, suggests that the widows are instinctively "good" creatures. widows are extremely easy to force bond with, and actually consider bonding to be a form of matrimony, similar to a wedding ring. as stated before, a widow's saliva is an aphrodisiac.

Weaknesses: they display typical mammalian weaknesses, but also have a weakness to sonic weaponry, due to their well tuned senses.

Diet: a widow is capable of eating almost anything, even another widow, especially another widow.

Behavior/Temperament: most people see widows are lustful, dominant, and arrogant, viewing males as a commodity and necessary sacrifice to keep their dwindling species alive

Communication: they communicate verbally, having long evolved to mimic human females.

History and culture:
The Widows are an enigmatic, humanoid alien race that have the ability to flawlessly mimic human women. They possess all the physical characteristics that humans associate with femininity - from their long, flowing hair to their delicate features - but it is their psychology that sets them apart.

In their society, females hold all positions of power, and males are seen as little more than commodities and necessary sacrifices to ensure the future survival of the species. Widows are known for their immense sexual prowess, which they use to maintain a steady supply of offspring. These traits have given rise to their reputation as being lustful, dominant, and arrogant.

However, there are instances where Widows have been known to show affection and tenderness to their mates. Once a bond is formed, these females make amazing partners - loving wives and doting mothers. It is through these partnerships that they maintain their dwindling population.

Despite their potential for love and companionship, the Widows are not a species to be taken lightly. In the past, they have engaged in bloody civil wars that nearly wiped out their entire society. This was due to the fact that many Widows preyed on each other as a source of food, and when the natural male population died out, this practice became more intense.

As a result, the Widows abandoned their homeworld and sought refuge on other planets. They are not a common sight in the universe, but if encountered, it is wise to treat them with great caution.

Planet.
The home planet of the Widows was once a thriving world, filled with vast oceans, lush forests, and diverse wildlife. However, the planet's ecosystem was fragile, and the introduction of the Widows into the mix proved to be catastrophic.

As their population grew, the Widows began to prey on the native fauna, which soon drove many species to extinction. They also engaged in wars with each other's tribes, which became increasingly deadly as their natural male population dwindled.

The planet became a dark, blood-soaked place, plagued by famine, war, and disease. The Widows, desperate to survive, began to consume their own kind, and the planet's delicate ecosystem was pushed to the brink of collapse.

In the end, the Widows had no choice but to abandon their home planet and seek refuge elsewhere. They left behind a desolate wasteland, forever tainted by the actions of a species that had once possessed so much potential, nowadays, widows are a very rare species, usually found as crime bosses or enforcers in the underworld, usually forgoing payment in credits and preferring bodies instead, widows have also been known to fall into mandalorian culture, as their tendency for dominance makes them fit in well with the culture.

As stated before, widows are famous for making excellent wives and mothers, but widows are extremely proud, even when a bond is formed they are extremely possessive, instinctively monogamous, widows will tolerate no competition for their object of affection, and their have been horror stories of a widow going bezerk when someone even so much as lays a hand on their life mate, tearing the offending party limb from limb. this is rarely intentional, and always a primal and instinctive reaction, inherited from the final decades of their planet, even a widow who has never been introduced to widow society will display these qualities, if a widow were to become a jedi, they would find it extremely difficult to suppress these qualities. This does not mean a widow is selfish, a widow will gladly sacrifice everything for their lovemates, and nothing pleases a widow more than such devotion being returned.

religions: Widows worship the force, which they call "the greater will", although records state that the widows used to worship a goddess, who used to walk among them, and guided their evolution, she is who taught them about "the greater will". This heavily implies a force wielder, most likely a dark side user, guided in their evolution, and would explain their matriarchal society, they are awaiting their "raven haired goddess" to return, well were, before their planets demise..

Technology:

Despite their violent tendencies, widows have a high level of intelligence and technology. They have developed advanced tools and weapons, such as spears, bows, and armor made from the carapaces of other insects. They also have a strong grasp of chemistry, and they use their saliva to create a variety of compounds for various purposes, such as tranquilizers and poisons.

Widows have also developed an impressive level of bioengineering, and they use their knowledge to modify their own bodies and those of their prey. They can produce silk, and regenerate damaged tissue. They also have the ability to control their own metabolism, allowing them to enter a state of suspended animation if necessary.

Overall, widows are biologically advanced, rather than technology.


Intent: my intention for this species is to slowly build up a story for @Marian wandari as she slowly rediscovers her peoples legacy. And slowly realizing she is the last one left, or she comes to believe so, if others want to use the widow species Im perfectly okay with it. :D
