Chadra-Fan

Chadra-Fans are a diminutive, rodent-like sentient species native to the marsh-covered Outer Rim world of Chad. Standing no more than a meter tall, they are easily recognized by their oversized ears, round dark eyes, and distinctive flat noses with four nostrils. Their sensitive hearing, coupled with a naturally alert disposition, makes them remarkably perceptive in noisy or chaotic environments. Chadra-Fans possess two hearts and require only a few hours of sleep each day, carrying an abundance of kinetic energy and curiosity wherever they go. Their homeworld is shaped by unpredictable tidal patterns and destructive storms, forcing the Chadra-Fan people to rebuild their homes and settlements frequently. This impermanence has shaped their worldview: Chadra-Fans embrace life in the moment, rarely dwelling on the past and valuing joy, community, and improvisation. They are known across the galaxy for their bright squeaky voices, friendly nature, and infectious enthusiasm. Unfortunately, many offworlders underestimate them—seeing Chadra-Fans as pets or harmless mascots rather than capable sentients—but this has never stopped them from carving out bold paths in the wider galaxy. Despite their reputation for playfulness, Chadra-Fans are remarkably resourceful. Many find work as scavengers, engineers, slicers, and tinkerers, happily disassembling anything left unattended to “improve” it. Others roam the stars as scouts, informants, or small-time traders. Whether working in research labs or bustling starports, they enthusiastically pursue any opportunity that sparks their boundless curiosity.

Personality & Customs: Chadra-Fans are exuberant, friendly, and deeply social. They thrive in company and often become depressed if isolated for too long. Their curiosity is legendary, especially concerning machinery; many struggle to resist the urge to tinker with any device within reach. Centuries of living in storm-wracked environments have given them an intense fear of deep water but also a resilient, joyful approach to life. They treat permanence as an illusion, preferring spontaneity and fun. Their energetic nature, high-pitched voices, and small stature often cause others to underestimate them—sometimes to the Chadra-Fan’s advantage.
