Razlin and Scorzi

Razlin

There's a legend in that part of the Universe about beings of energy.  Some call them "Ghost" or "Spirits".  No one ever saw their true form because they are very careful and take an humanoid form.  They are considered mischievous but one is not the other is. 

They are separated in two factions 

-          Razlin

-          Scorzi 

The first, records information, events, and also have detailed files of practically every people they come across, following the descendants of certain people sometimes.  They don't interfere in activities, decisions, made by the civilizations they observes.  They are often a bi-standard, working in lower ranks.  It could be an ensign that a lieutenant gives an order to do something.  The ensign will do it and that is the end of it. 

Where the information goes, no body knows. 

As a reference point, I have made the being looking a lot like the one which got pregnant Deanna Troi in the episode "The Child".

So they are energy beings, that at first get a female humanoid pregnant but they grow at a normal rate.  Has they reach adulthood, they could choose to stay young or continue the cycle of life of the species they inhabit.  They don't have any powers only the possibility of reaching their own dimension. 

The Razlins have rules for their own security and the species they want to learn. 

1-       The female must be in a loving and secured relationship and also in excellent health.  It's the same for the humanoid male.

2-       The environment is very important.  A peaceful and flourishing culture is the ideal combination.  A study is sometimes required and depending on the situation, or the place.  More than one Razlins could be required to do the study or even the exploration.  They study divers point of reference, geography, technology, religion, taboos, languages, history, values, etc, etc.

3-       Once they have establish the safety of the place and the people, they proceed on the third phase.  Getting the females pregnant and starting their observations and retrieval of archives. 

How do they take humanoid form 

Their energy fuse with the DNA of the humanoid embryo.  This cause a shock which later on dissipate.

In their childhood, everyone can observe that they have a great memory, are visual, they want to experience everything and anything which naturally could cause trouble, but they do this by simple curiosity.  They don't remember their Razlins part of them. 

Arriving at the age of eighteen, they start to remember, which can be confusing.  They have teachers, coming from the other realm that are specialized in this field.  They reveal to them the Razlin part and also later, about five years later, usually completing a study field, like communication officer, scientist, researcher, etc.  They receive the other part of themselves, filling up the information gap about their kind and how to send what they have learn. 

They don't have powers at all, just the ability to reach the other dimension and back if needed.  They are not telepaths, or have telekinetic powers.  They could sense one another. 

Has an energy being, Razlins are not totally impervious to energy weapons but it doesn't hurt them to much.  An extensive examination wouldn't reveal them.  If the body dies on the other hand, they have the possibility to their corporeal state.  Mortally wounded, the body dies, but not the Razlins, which simply leaves and return to their Universe, give their reports to their superior and later on they come back to start another cycle.   They do know about death, even more so with the development of more powerful energy weapons.  They are not totally immortals, they can be killed in this manner. 

If the Razlin decides to follow the cycle of the being they are living in, naturally it will suffer and experienced the suffering of him or her.  Dying of old age, the energy being leaves the body, and the process is the same from that point. 

The Razlins and group in three cast.  Those are specialized in a multitudes of fields. 

-          ARZIN : They usually infiltrate civilizations that are war like, are paranoiacs, to even hostile.

-          BRONA : They specialized in civilizations that are at the level of the dark ages to pre-warp society.

-          TWILO : They are specialized in space travelling civilizations, usually in peaceful environment. 

Laws that they have 

1-       He or she can't and mustn't interfere in the development of any civilization on every level.  Even if they are destroying themselves. (Example: A part of the population that suffer from drug addictions, they can't go find a cure, or fight to stop that abuse or, the development of nuclear or biological weapons, they can't go leak that information to the press or announced it to the world).

2-       He or she can't accept any command post which would have the responsibility of over 100 people.  In case of the Arzin, he or she have to decline every command post unless having the blessing of the "Elders".

3-       He or she have to respect and obey the rules of the civilization that he or she have infiltrated and also it's religion.  Even if, it cost her or his life. 

Punishment if the rules are broken 

First offense : An immediate return, forced home to answer for what he or she has done.  Usually, the body is kept in a state of coma.  If the Razlin is guilty, he or she return to the body they were in but they are strip of their powers until the lesson is learned or just before death. 

Second offense : Immediate return, trial, if guilty, the body that was kept in a coma dies and the Razlin stays in the realm for a hundred year.  All his information that he brought back, are examine before being accepted.

 

Third offense : is punishable by death.  There's a trial, and if found guilty, they have the choice, their energy is spread through the galaxy, or they become humanoid.  They keep the knowledge of their crimes until death. 

The Elders "CYPRIN" 

This brings us to their history on how they came to be who they are and the others the "Scorzi". 

According to what we will eventually discover later, the Razlins and Cyprin was found on a big asteroid that later on exploded and was at the origin part of a planet. 

Many million years ago, inside their domain, their galaxy was more or less like are own.  It was a very small galaxy, that would qualify has microscopic (let say about a parsec). 

There was a planet teaming with intelligent life forms, that because of the high energy levels of their sun, with time also, transformed the people and then exploded.  It's assumed, that is was a planet, an it's people, by a curious phenomena became energy, those are the Elders.  Researching to gain back the control and adapt to their knew existence, they found those asteroids and also another realm to live in society.  They could feel something different about those rocks, and discovered that they belonged to their planet of origins. 

It took the Cyprin million of years to recover their memories, their identities, and reestablishing back order among the chaos.  Some turn away from this, discovering the power, the influence they could have on weaker species, they separated themselves, and created another realm of their own, those are the SCORZI. 

Biology 

They can only reproduce in their realm, they tried in ours but somehow they were sterile.  This way, they don't pollute the gene pool that they live in, has corporeal, their humanoid host can reproduce. 

Has energy being goes, they can go through anything, including are shields.  They discovered that also they could be trap by a tachyon field, which gave them a second though. Should they continue to learn from those beings?  Another energy source that they don't like, are plasma storms with negative charges, it ills them. 

They don't have the power to heal the body they live in, so following the life cycle of the humanoid host, they do feel them when they are sick, aches and pains of getting old, joy, sadness, love, etc. 

When the time comes for the humanoid host to die or could die, they follow two rules. 

1-       They don't leave their humanoid forms only if there's no options what so ever to get out of it alive.

2-       Be absolutely sure that they are alone when they leave there host's body.  Or at least that if there's people, that they are not conscious of what's happening.  

A Razlin leave the host body for good, he can't go back in.  When they leave the body glows and at first it is dime, but it get brighter and than the light leave and float over the body and shrink to the size of an orange, and is of a blue white color. 

Scorzi 

Biologically, they are the same as the Razlin.  They have the same weakness as they have, with plasma storms and tachyon beams.  It's in their way of thinking that they are radically different.  They are also not telepathes, or have any powers then to go back in their own realm. 

They get pregnant what ever female humanoid.  They don't bather with searching or gathering information, knowledge about the civilization that they will live in. 

Has a child, the Scorzi are often act like little demons, some even ran away from their families.  They grow up with a sense of arrogance, hungry for power of all sort.  Some choose their parents accordingly, they seek high positions.  They don't care about their parents, or the host that they live.  It the body dies, they leave regardless if there are people witnessing the process. 

They interfere with the people, they provoke situations, and see how people deal with them.  They accept position of powers,  and then all hell break loose.  They implant ideas, they create dilemma that sometimes turn bad for the others, create wars if it amuse him or her.  They can make an entire civilization go in the bring of extinction, just to see how they would deal with it, or for amusement.  They are the masters of Chaos, and are as mischievous has "Q".   Once they are discovered, they can't do nothing, because what they are allergic of is the Truth and they leave once it blows up in her or his face. 

Altercations between the Razlin and the Scorzi 

The Razlin and the Scorzi can feel one another, but not precisely, he can't pin point an individual.   

In the case that a Razlin and a Scorzi would end up in the same ship by example, this creates an altercation between the two if they find each others out. 

This is the only time a Razlin can play an active role.  If they can't send a Scorzi back to his or her dimension in private.  He or she (Razlin) can organize, in the need to know basis, with the people of the crew, to cast out that intruder. 

Earth history

The Razlin and the Scorzi have been studying and the other making trouble for a very long time.  It was in the Dark Ages that they discovered us. 

 

The Scorzi played with are faiths, fears, some were even the investigators of the inquisitions.  Drunk for power, one even became an anti-pope, but not for long. 

When we explored are own planet during the sixteen century, both were with us. Cortez in South America, a Scorzi was there.  At Cromwell's revolution, one Scorzi had is hand in it. 

The turning point came when we made the nuclear bomb and lunch two of them on Japan.  Once we have used it, even if we continued to fabricate it, we never wanted to use it again, at the exception of extreme aggressions.  For the Scorzi, we became boring, then we explored space.
