Venetian

Venetians are a slim, hairless species, standing at roughly the same height as humans. They tend towards the ascetic, and, indeed, have a society which highly favors the monastic orders to which so many belong. The Venetian style of self-discipline and avoidance of indulgence gives the species a somewhat aloof demeanor which can be off-putting.
Many of the Venetian monastic orders, of which there are thousands, focus on the self-discipline. As a species that developed in the canopies of Venus, horticulture skills are assumed, if not always accurately.
Origin of species: Venetian poetry often compares them to the fluttering leaves and whip-like vines, which is more on the nose than expected. In truth, a far-distant ancestor of the species were a particular-compatible pair of symbiotic species: a highly mobile feathered flier, and a flowering vine.
Typical names: Ashonn, Branmer, Kozain, Kalier, Tereval, Rathell, Sinehan, Nerrat, Dukhon, Deerenn, Delon, Mayen.
Designs: Venetian equipment has a very simple aesthetic. Function is more valuable than form, resulting in trimmed designs that contain only the necessary parts.
