| Kordaiaura are now highly respected and sought after, and welcomed into an enclave when they arrive. They bring news of other Kordai across the Orion Sphere, and carry with them the memories of their people as a whole. Always travelling in pairs, the mentor and the initiate spend between five and ten standard years together - training with mind and augmented blade, getting to know the people they serve, and carrying with them part of the Aura in their souls, keeping its light alive. When the initiate’s training is complete, both they and the master move on, taking on new initiates and beginning the cycle once again. | Kordaiaura are now highly respected and sought after, and welcomed into an enclave when they arrive.

| Kordai have a more robust musculature than the Terran norm, and are quite durable as a species. Their subcutaneous skin layer contains significant deposits of crystalline copper compounds that makes their skin harder to deeply injure. However, Kordai blood is notably thinner than Terran standard, and significant injuries can cause them to quickly lose fluid volume. Kordai working in accident-prone industries will frequently carry injectors loaded with fast-acting nano-coagulants in case they go into fatal shock before help arrives. | Kordai have a more robust musculature than the Terran norm, and are quite durable as a species.

| - | Kordaiaura tend to tattoo themselves with dyes from the bio-psionic Auranoss plant, which was preserved in the flight from their homeworld. These somewhat paler blue tattoos form patterns of swirling, dendritic lines and spirals, and are psychoactive - glowing brightly when in a psionic aura. Those who have taken to imitating the practices of the Kordaiaura have been known to apply similar tattoos to themselves when they can get access to the Aurabess dyes. The Kordaiaura are also known for their simple hooded robes, which are seen as a “uniform” of sorts in the order, as well as a convenient means of passing unnoticed. True Kordaiaura robes are often split at the front and back, to allow for better freedom of movement in melee combat. | + | Kordaiaura tend to tattoo themselves with dyes from the bio-psionic Auranoss plant, which was preserved in the flight from their homeworld.
