	As with wherever humans have tread, change follows. With them came wondrous technology, medicine, and genetic modification. The latter of which has created many things, and in the eyes of the average Akula, nothing good. Through genesplicing and manipulations, the Akula subspecies came to be in a matter of decades.

	The Sudak (Sudaek plural) are extremely closely related to, and are considered a subspecies and splice of Akula with Human features, rather than Humans with shark-like features (~~though in the server are counted~~ as ~~abhumans~~ for ~~the sake of species selection rather than Akula themselves~~). More fair and lithe than their mainland counterparts, Sudak average 10-25cm shorter and significantly lighter and less dense. Hair and skin tones vary greatly from typical True Akula, with garish bright pigments being the norm, though more traditional colors do exist.		The Sudak (Sudaek plural) are extremely closely related to, and are considered a subspecies and splice of Akula with Human features, rather than Humans with shark-like features (and can be utilized as either Akula properly, or for those who want to look more Human-like, Abhuman). More fair and lithe than their mainland counterparts, Sudak average 10-25cm shorter and significantly lighter and less dense. Hair and skin tones vary greatly from typical True Akula, with garish bright pigments being the norm, though more traditional colors do exist.

	Though being the only biologically compatible species for breeding, mixed couples are rare and result in exile from True Akula clans in the vast majority of cases.

	Akula evolution has been one of the longest and oldest amongst modern sophonts, with their homeworld reaching the Palaeozoic equivalency before the Last Universal Common Ancestor split on Earth. Following the laws of hydrodynamics, the ancestors of most of Donbettyr’s amphibious predators followed a striking resemblance to the various iterations of sharks found in nearly every ocean in the galaxy. These pseudo-reptilian ancient monsters ruled the lands and shoals for nearly a billion years, while the swirling nightmares in the endless seas outpaced the slow evolutions of the land. From stubby, flopping amphibians came the repto-mammals which spread and become the majority of ~~omnivores~~ on the land.

These pseudo-reptilian ancient monsters ruled the lands and shoals for nearly a billion years, while the swirling nightmares in the endless seas outpaced the slow evolutions of the land. From stubby, flopping amphibians came the repto-mammals which spread and become the majority of carnivores on the land.

	Over the course of a long, creeping evolutionary tree, climbing hunters vaguely resembling modern Akula took to the trees and cliffs, avoiding larger predators while taking to diving for prey of their own. These bizarre, naked shark-lemurs developed into a niche specialization of diving social pack hunters and ambush predators. For five million years, their slow rise to sapience grew, as ever more complex needs and strategies arose.

 Despite rumors and slurs, the Akula are in fact a race of amphibious repto-mammals as akin to ravenous lemurs as they are to any sort of fish. Reaching at the stars from the harsh wilds of their tumultuous homeworld, the Akula are an ancient species sculpted to brutal elegance by fundamental laws of biology and competition. From the industrialized clans of yore, to the fierce mercenaries, soldiers, poets, and craftsmen found across the galaxy, an Akula is known for his or her dedication to a craft or skill. Often seen as blunt, violent instruments, they frequently find themselves overlooked by other species in favor of more “predictable” options.

 On the other hand, those in more hands-on professions might have experience with “True Akula”, large, digitigrade shark monsters which keep to themselves or their working groups. They’re seen as warmongers, pirates, and savages, with their culture mostly ignored in all depictions. Often seen as antisocial, this is a defense mechanism against starting pointless arguments or damaging productivity.
