Description
Castoris Sapiens (Nucleans)

Physical Description:
Nucleans are bipedal, standing upright on their hind legs, with the arms and hands adapted for tool use. They tend of be of medium build, ranging in size from 1.7 to 2.2 meters tall, with a weight range of 104-123 kilograms for males, and 100-119 kilograms for females. The average lifespan of a member of their species is 2000 years.
Nucleans have strong, sturdy hands, which are capable of fine motor skills, and are clawed along with their feet. Their entire body, with the exception of the tail, is covered in long soft fur that provides warmth but is not waterproof. Natural fur color typically ranges between light and dark brown, sometimes with a reddish tint, although many of the species dye parts of or their entire coat different colors. Members of the species possess somewhat enlarged incisors and jaw muscles, similar to other members of their genus, however their power is diminished compared to other members of Castor due to the evolution of a larger brain cavity and lack of need due to tool use.
The species does display some sexual dimorphism, with females possessing a slightly narrower build and head than males, as well as mammary glands on their stomachs.

Diet:
Through genetic engineering, the Nuclean species has been modified from a completely herbivorous species to an omnivorous one. While the majority of the population tends to favor a primarily vegetarian diet due to cultural inertia in regards to food, eating meat on the occasion does occur, as well as the occasional person who prefers a greater amount of meat in their diet.

Evolution and Genetic Augmentation:
The Nuclean species originates from the planet Earth during the Oliecene period approximately 33 million years ago, emerging from a common ancestor to the North American and Eurasian beavers.
Over the history of their civilization, the Nucleans have performed various species-wide genetic alterations to themselves, resulting in a longer lifespan and various other beneficial improvements.
These changes include tuning their metabolism to prioritize bone and muscle production over that of fat, leading to a good natural fitness level across the population. In addition, their genome has been tweaked to remove genetic defects and diseases, boost their immune system, halt aging-related degradation, improve senses, and improve cognitive functioning.

Species-Wide Technological Augmentation:
At birth, all Nucleans are injected with a nanite-micrite mix, which works in tandem with their body to promote faster healing and fight disease, preventing harmful conditions like cholesterol buildup, and allowing females to control their own fertility.
