Language -
The Ebene people speak two languages, the elegant and smooth Delis and the very sharp and 'ugly' Sezech.  The origins of Sezech are completely unknown to even the Ebene and the majority of the language has been forgotten.  What is still remembered is used for names of people born into higher class families and things like cities and strongholds.

Delis was created due to the Soldiers and Shapeshifter's inability to learn the complex Sezech.  Which it is very simple and easy to learn, Delis retains an elegancy and smoothness when spoke, causing it to sound very beautiful to foreign ears.  While Delis is not commonly used to name things, lower class families have begun using it to name their children due to its simplicity.

Religion -
Almost all Ebene practice a religion called Seveanism.  The reason Seveanism is so commonly practiced is because of its usefulness and believability.  According to very old texts in the Ebene's possession, a great being made of light known to them as 'Esochte' dragged Ebera out of the depths of the eternal darkness.  However the Ebene did not appreciate the gift they were granted, so Esochte abandoned them.  This is said to be how Ebera fell into such horrible deterioration.  Modern day Ebene practice the religion in a sort of repentance for their past disbelief, and it does not go unrewarded.

To show their devotion, Seveanists have incredibly elaborate tattoos put onto their body, primarily on their back, legs, and arms.  They are often very painful to receive but as the saying goes, the more painful the better.  The designs for the tattoos are derived from more ancient writings the Ebene discovered.  Different designs entail different rewards, and the bigger and more elaborate the better.

Rewards take form in changes made to the body of the person who has the tattoo, for Esochte does very much exist and delights in gifting his followers with special powers whenever possible.  Very common examples are heightened senses, more muscle power, higher intelligence, and greater combat ability.  However with great study and experimentation with designs, an Ebene can achieve incredible gift-mutations (for example; Pfalz and her phasing).  Some Ebene devote their lives entirely to the study of such designs.

Military -
As the Ebene have a military society, every single citizen is involved with the military.  At a very young age Ebene children begin their military training.  This includes learning how to fight, various strategies and tactics, and general obedience and respect for authority.  This training can be completed at any age, it is simply over when the student has learned everything that the program has to offer.  After this, the former student enters another training program, but this time one more specific to what they want to end up doing (ie. Scientist, military officer, etc.)  Soldiers and Shapeshifters are not educated beyond the basic program.

Obedience, combat skill, and intelligence and qualities and skills very highly valued by the Ebene.  The more of these one possesses, the more likely they will receive a higher rank or a position of power.

No matter what profession they have chosen, all Ebene (excluding Soldiers and Shapeshifters) are required to wear a uniform.  This is more for easy recognition of rank than anything else.  Each rank's uniform has a specific color.  There are also half-ranks.  Half-ranks do not give extra authority, they just signify that that Ebene could possibly move up in rank in the near future.

The colors are, from lowest to highest; Beige, green, yellow, blue, red, white, black, gray, gold.

Half-ranks are symbolized by a variety of stripes on the uniform.  They are usually the same color as the next rank up.

Portals-
The creation of portals is one thing all Officer Ebene are taught, as they are an essential weapon in their conquest.  Portals are made by distorting reality, which is not as complicated as it sounds.  To create a portal, one has to combine different kinds of energy that are naturally not meant to come together.  Once they do, it rips a hole in existence itself which appears in the form of a portal.  Portals can be used to do a variety of things, from creating objects to transporting people incredibly long distances, even to other dimensions.

However forcing energy together is not such an easy task.  To do it, one must draw power from their own soul.  This can be very tiring or not at all, depending on what the person is trying to do with the portal.  To do something simple like making an object or moving someone a short distance, it takes little power at all.  But to do something like traveling to another dimension or stealing someone's soul is literally impossible for an Ebene to accomplish on their own.  For this, they have to use not only their own soul but a soul drawn from an outside source.  Outside souls can be stolen from other people or taken from people who have recently been killed.  Because of the potential power in collecting lots of souls, higher ranking Officers are very careful to watch lower ranks to make sure they do not gain very many.

Government-
The Ebene government is rather unstable and it is hard to say whether they really have one at all.  There is always one major ruler or, 'high lord' that oversees everything from the training of younger Ebene to the conquest of other dimensions.  If the high lord wishes to create or destroy a law, the decision is run by a very small council made up of high ranking Officers.  However this council is more for show than anything else, as the high lord usually decides who is on it and therefore controls it.  A high lord rules until their death, at which point the highest ranking Officer takes their place.  Revolts are very uncommon and most Ebene have no qualms about the unsteady system.

Appearance:

Soldiers:
Soldiers appear as Saiyans or burly Humans.

Shapeshifters:
Shapeshifters can take on any appearance they desire, although they generally cannot hold form for more than a week without changing, to refresh their genes.  A shapeshifter's insides appear like liquid mercury.  Some believe that a shapeshifter's true appearance is nothing more than a puddle of silver goo.

Officers:
Officers take on the appearance of generic humanoids, more or less, varying in hair and eye color to a greater degree than almost any species.

Reproduction:

Ebene reproduce in a way very similar to Humans.  The female’s gestation period
is around five to six months.  While only Officer Ebene have the ability to
reproduce, they hold an equal chance to have an Officier, Soldier, or
Shapeshifter as their offspring.  Ebene often have anywhere from ten to twenty
children, as many of them do not survive long in the harsh conditions of Ebera.
Having more children also increases their chances of having an Officer child. 

While Ebene often do have twins and triplets, they are usually born more frail
and weak than other children and many of them are killed off after being born.
Both Ebene genders are capable of crossbreeding however it is strictly forbidden
and any Ebene caught doing this is put to death without question.  Ebene genes
are very dominant and half-ebene Officer children are often physically much
stronger than normal.  If a half-breed child ends up having their Ebene side
Soldier or Shapeshifter they will usually not live beyond a few years due to
some genetic complications.
