Litta , the Littan homeworld has two suns, but it's not a desert. The suns only shine together two times during the year, otherwise, they're blocking each other. The atmosphere is thick to the point of blocking out harmful radiation from a dual sun system and at the same time, it actually blocks a lot more, keeping the planet at a mostly lush even green. It's a very ... green world, like a green house with streams, but no really large oceans. Large bodies of water are very uncommon. It does rain frequently as well.

Now.. in the case of mutations, Litta is actually free of the majority of mutations caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation, like... cancer. Cancer doesn't exist and there are far fewer mutations and a much higher life expectancy for a Littan and anyone who lives on Litta. A Littan can live for several hundred years and be healthy during all of it. Even though they have a short cycle for bearing children, once that is done, they have a very long life in educating their kind and others on their planet. Age is a valued thing among them, as is the pursuit of knowledge and ... entertainment. Now... this does lead to a little bit about why when they were on Earth, they got the stigma about vampires only coming out at night. They did not want exposure to the sun. Riley is wearing a special sunblock, so he's not worried about it, plus, he's not out there for LONG. *And Riley loves the sun, even though he won't tan. Tanning is of course... destroying skin cells.

The Littans are all very pale in complexion, almost white with light colored hair and eyes are any color. They're usually as tall as humans or a little shorter on average. Riley is a Littan. Rounded ears. *Neat thing about Littans, they can't chew and usually only eat liquids so they only have front teeth and their jaw lines are high and pronounced more than the others. They're a 'nice' race overall in wanting to help out others, but also highly competetive and given to being carried away with excess and luxery ... and winning.

Littans lack the ability to digest large amounts of solid matter so they actually live on a primarily liquid diet. *They also don't have as many teeth as a human, lacking molars for chewing." They do have fangs and if you're bit by one it wouldn't be pleasant due to their alignment. The upper jaw has two fangs on each side, a large one and a smaller one. The lower jaw has one. They're fairly noticeable. Their saliva contains a chemical that acts as a anesthetic to whatever they bite and has the lingering affect of making the bit person/thing very obedient.

They're omnivorous with a tendency to be predators. They're actually a matriarch based society as well, the females lead pretty much in everything, are more agressive and in general... high strung. They consider themselves as equals, but the females can be highly demanding. Most of the joined males will do whatever the female wants just to avoid any trouble. Most of them. There are always those exceptions on both sides. *So .. not much difference in human society in some respects even if they are female ruled. Single males are much more likely AND will stand up to any female and don't particuarly like being dominated. Most single females are much nicer until they have their first litter, then they get very protective of their kids,... to the point of spoiling them nowadays. the females are more rash and hormonally driven in high tension situations and tend to overreact and overdo things. The males are usually a lot more stable and do handle the areas that require their mindset. They are by no means pushovers, although do come across as extremely laid back. Of course, with all the races, individuals can stray in any degree and there are laid back females and extremely aggressive males, but they balance each other out. Riley is a bit more agressive than most Overall, despite all of that and how .. horrible it could sound, they are a pleasant enough race to be around in general and helpful to the Rishan's. They consider them kids as a whole that need to be protected and helped and since there is a resemblance, they feel a need to help them when they can.

Most littans follow a rule of not biting and feeding off "sentient" lifeforms. To them, blood is an intoxicant, especially red blood. Something to do with the iron most likely. It's considered an abhorrent practice by the majority and one of those social taboos. Fortunately, they don't really 'thirst' for it, but it can become as addictive as alcohol. As for Earth, there was a group of Littans who went down for research unknowing that they had a few with them who wanted to try human blood. Things got out of hand, one of them did wind up encountering Vlad Dracul and is partially responsible for some of the killing. Once the Galactic Consul caught wind of what was going on and the Littan government, that's when a ban was put into place. While Earth isn't part of the 'GC', they are not to be bothered by other aliens in such a way.

Littan males actually have a preference for full bodied women to thin tall athletic ones, with breasts that are near the same size. Actual size doesn't matter so much. For the male Littans who 'drink', they will normally seek out Rishan or Kourwine females of a fuller body to overweight body type. They tend to go for the opposite sex since it's considered somewhat of an intimate act, only you don't REALLY want to be on the receiving end of affection of this type. Kourwine males tend to go for plump mature females over the overly thin ones like Claudia
