Here's the information that I have collected on Arris and Mojiin[sblock]
A History of Arris
This is the history passed down by the Mojiin:
First there was Arris ("Mother" in the Mojiin tongue) and she was full of bountiful life energy, arraying herself in lush, verdant garments of plant-life. Slowly, through a process of evolution, animals came to evolve, at first in the large, beautiful lakes and oceans, but then upon the land.
In her love for all living things, Arris created the Mojiin ("People") to protect as caretakers to watch over and cherish all of her bounty. The Mojiin are special because unlike the other animals, who had been born through evolution of a common stock, each having mortal parents, the Mojiin are all the children of Arris. This is why Mojiin refer to all other Mojiin as sister (even though they have no apparent gender), as they have been formed from such a parthenogenesis.
The Mojiin prospered, as did the land, for many eons. And then a strange thing happened. One of the animals, a cute hairy little creature, evolved to a new stage where its members lost much of their hair and became bipedal with opposable thumbs. They developed culture and proved themselves to be even smarter than the Mojiin, if not full of the wisdom of the People. They named themselves Valsians after Valsos, their chieftain, and sought to find their place in the world.
Unable to evolve through reproduction, nonetheless the Mojiin were familiar with meditative rituals that allowed them to rapidly evolve during their own lifetime. One of these, for example, allowed them to gain wings and soar through the sky. The Mojiin strove to create a new stage of evolution, where they could become bipedal like the Valsians, that they might approach and befriend these new people, companions with whom they could share their love of Arris. However, the Mojiin loved their old shape, and so they instead gained the ability to transform between the two, and to this day, all Mojiin will learn this ritual when they are but young.
Having giving themselves forms similar to those of the Valsians, the Mojiin came as emissaries to Valthos, chief of the Valsians. Valthos agreed to meet with the Mojiin, and he asked the people many questions, learning much of Arris and her ways. The power of Arris's life energy intrigued him, and so he entreated the Mojiin to let him train with them, promising that despite his status as chief of the Valsians, that he would be as a child among the wise Mojiin.
The Mojiin were pleased with this, and so they taught Valthos the way of the Preserver, and Valthos excelled at his lessons, but even still, in sooth he learned his lessons well but sought to apply the knowledge of the Mojiin in new and more challenging ways, attempting tasks that his teachers had bade him try not until he had more experience, and some that they considered altogether impossible. When Arris was not ready to yield him enough energy to complete his desires, he used his link to grab more, as much as he could hold, throwing the precautions of the Mojiin to the winds and shaping the energy to his will instead of using the power that Arris provided freely. The lush land around him withered in response, but his magic was successful.
In horror, the Mojiin banished Valthos from them, but he no longer cared. Considering himself the true master of Arris, he honed his power and conquered many of the lesser dragons or Arris, turning them to his will and that of his people. Then he returned and spread his knowledge to his own people. Thus, he became the first Dragonlord.
With their newfound power, the Valsians spread from a small community to a flourishing culture with multiple cities, each ruled by a Dragonking, a mighty Dragonlord. But this prosperity came at a great cost, as the Valsians were rapidly destroying Arris, transforming the once-lush planet into a massive desert of barren wastelands, where water and forest were scarce commodities indeed.
Outraged at this cancerous growth, the heretofore peaceful Mojiin formed an army and assaulted the Valsians, but the People lost this battle, and so the Valsians subjugated them, as the Dragonlords were wont. Even so, some small number of Mojiin Preservers still seek to protect what little is left of Arris's wildlife, while Avengers hope to destroy the Valsian scourge.
Of recent note are two more inventions of the Valsians. One, named Vhalia, who loved Arris as did a Mojiin, created the art of Ecomancy. Although the People were initially sceptical, reminded of Valthos's betrayal, nevertheless, they were convinced by the love in her heart, and indeed their eyes teared as they thought of what could have been, had their first student been Vhalia and not Valthos.
Second, the thief Zharan has weaseled his way to a high position with the Dragonemperor Ghalcian, who nominally (but not in practical reality) rules over the other Dragonkings from his seat in Valthas (in reality, he's just the most powerful of the Dragonkings, but not strong enough to enforce hegemony). Zharan did this by developing a means of stealing power from Dragonlords similar to that used by Dragonlords to take power from Arris. He call the art "Dweamoureating" and taught it to a group that serves Ghalcian.
Mojiin Description
Mojiin scales have varying colours, as noted, although the colours generally correspond to breath weapons, they do not always, and there are also colours that are not a colour of any typical dragon (like a lavender colour that many Mojiin find to be rather beautiful, like some humans think of blondes)
Mojiin in bipedal form are 6 to 7 feet tall and weigh upwards of 250 pounds if they are tall. In Dragon form, they become about as long as they once were tall, but since they are somewhat wider in total, they double in mass.
Mojiin become Adults at 80, Middle Age is 175, Old 300, Venerable 475, and then they have another 4d100 years to live after that until max age, when they peacefully rejoin the life energy of Arris.
Some do not wear clothing and some of them do. Its partially based on personal preference and partially based on family customs. Mojiin do have a number of "sweet spots" along their scales that are softer and act as pleasure centres, and indeed their scales are quite soft altogether, which is why they don't have a natural armour bonus, and some families like to keep those covered, although they don't look any different than the other scales or anything.
Mojiin aren't necessarily androgynous, just no genitals or definitive genders. The Mojiin look at the natural world around them, and they oft compare themselves to other organisms, seeing the daughter Mojiin as budding off from Arris, the Mother. This principle causes their word for their sisters, which is genderless in their language, to take on a tone of femininity in translation, as they definitely see Arris as a female entity, as she bears children and then nourishes them with her bounty. In fact, some Mojiin venerate nature-loving female Valsians because of their ability to bear children and nourish them. However, some Mojiin have a more aggressive perspective to things, and admire the power of male animals in nature...Mojiin as a language has a third gender pronoun for Mojiin, but when they speak in other languages, they often pick between preferring to be called "He" or "She" merely because they are wise enough to realise that using "It" is subtly derogatory and demeaning to themselves, and that the subtleties such as the control of language in that way (that is, calling them "It" which brings the image of a beast or an inanimate object) make it easier for Valsians and others to see them as subhuman and not worth considering.
Mojiin Game Stats
+4 STR -2 CON +4 WIS, +2 to Balance
Dragon Type with the Shapechanger subtype.
Mojiin reproduce through tapping into the Arrian life-force.
Society: Independent family groups, sometimes oppressed by a cruel Dragonlord
Appearance:Mojiin are brightly-coloured wingless dragons which have the ability to shift between a bipedal humanoid dragon form and a quadrapedal draconic form.
Darkvision (Ex): A Mojiin can see in the dark up to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and Mojiin can function just fine with no light at all.
Low-light Vision (Ex): A Mojiin can see twice as far as normal in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. He retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
Natural Attacks: In their humanoid form, Mojiin can attack with their two claws (primary) and bite (secondary), dealing 1d6, 1d6, and 1d8 damage, respectively. When in quadrapedal form, they can attack with two claws (primary), bite (secondary), and tail slap (secondary), dealing 1d8, 1d8, 2d6 and 1d10, respectively.
Alternate Form (Su) The Mojiin may switch between their quadrapedal and humanoid forms as a standard action. The Mojiin's "True Form" is the quadrapedal form.
Immunities (Ex): Immune to magic sleep effects and paralysis effects.
Energy Resistance(Ex): Mojiin has Energy Resistance 5 to the element of their breath weapon.
Breath Weapon(Su): The Mojiin's Breath Weapon is a line of one of the following (fire, ice, electricity, Acid, Chlorine Gas, or Sonic engergy. It deals damage equal to 1d6 per two levels, rounded down, minimum of 1d6. The Mojiin can use this ability once per day. DC Save: 10 + 1/2 HD + Con
Ceremony of the Boundless Winds: A Mojiin of at least 5 HD can enter the Ceremony of the Boundless Winds in place of gaining a new feat. The ceremony requires entering into meditation in an unspoiled mountain grove on Arris (not so easy to find with the Dragonlords despoiling nature). When the meditation is complete, the Mojiin sprouts wings, usable in both humanoid and quadrapedal form. Fly Speed is equal to the base speed in humanoid form, with Average manoeuvrability, and twice the base speed in quadrapedal form, with Poor maneuverability.

Custom Feat - NEMESIS INQUISITOR [Divine, Mojiin]
NEMESIS INQUISITOR [Divine, Mojiin]
The wind blew through his long cloak and against his scaley back in the cold and misty night.His bipedal draconic form was hunched over and watching intently from a tall rocky outcropping a distance away.The cloudless sky allowed the moon to shine its pale luminescence on everything, allowing the gods above to watch their forested theater and the show that was about to begin. The only sound to be heard was the brief whipping of the wind as it was just trying to let you know that it was still there. There was a quiet tension in the air like everything knew that something was about to happen and was waiting. Like Arris herself was waiting for something and wanted to see it firsthand, and everything was clearing the way so she could watch.
His watchful eyes never leaving the Valsian for even a moment as she sat tranquily in the middle of the forest clearing seeming to be meditating. The moon light that delicately shone on the Valsian gave her an almost ephermeral quality - a seeming supernatural and divine serenity - sublime and heavenly. Kaelus knew better. All of the children of Arris knew better and none of them had any doubt that her death would be one of the greatest justices to have passed and this drove Kaelus through all of these years of the hunt. He had found her. He had found her trail and was not going to let go. Only death would keep Kaelus from bringing justice to her. Only death!
While the Valsian made no overt actions to indicate that she knew the Mojiin was there or had been following her. He had no doubt that she knew. Krvara always knew. In her long life as a Dragon Lord(ess) she has been hunted many times and has slain many Avengers and Preservers that have come to pass Nemesis' judgement. At the moment that they would strike, her vile enchantments would strike them down and every innocent creature nearby. It is said that her wrath is equal to the wrath that Nemesis himself would unleash unpon the corrupted if he was manifest. A primal, raw and unbridaled destructive rage.
Kaelus wondered why things are different now. In the past Krvara would have cast her magics to destroy him at the very moment she detected him and everything within 40 or 50 feet. During the last week he has followed here she has done nothing towards him. She came here several days ago and has just sat. Once he has come close enough to detect a faint aura of Corruption on her, but that seemed horribly out of place as she is one of the most evil and vile creatures to walk Arris, and yet Arris's judgement is faint. "How could this be? With all of the destruction and death that she has wrought, how could our beloved Arris be so kind to such a wrathful and vile creature?"
Kaelus has watched Krvara carefully, he notices that all that is left is a lingering aura of corruption. He jumps down from his perch and approaches her sitting and meditating form. His draconic form towers over her sitting form. His barely-there shadow covering her fully in the early morning light as the sun starts to peak onver the horizon. Now much time has passed. He lost count of the hours that he has watched her. Watched her and waited. He stood before her and spoke "I do not know what you are doing Valsian, but I am here to pass Nemesis' Judgement on you, Krvara, for your crimes against Arris. Nemesis has... "
The Valsian calmly interrupted his speech "Kaelus, you have been following me for quite some time. Do you wonder why you are still alive, when I could easily snuff out your life and very existance with that magics that are at my beck and call? You are an Inquisitor are you not? Justice matters? I have changed my ways. I can only spend the rest of my life trying to atone for all of the horrible things that I have done. Pass your Inquisition on me and you will know the truth."
Kaelus paused for a moment and closed the few feet that was between them and was standing right next to her. She never moved or tensed a muscle. "I am at your mercy Inquisitor. Pass your judgement."
He noticed Krvara's fading aura and with one hand forcefully enbraced the side of her head.
The moment was flooded with sights of the withered trees and rotting plants, casting of inviolate spells for the sheer pleasure of watching the destruction it caused, and the killing of the innocent. The screams of children and the very trees and plants and the cry of Arris in every single moment. The smells of rotted and magott riddled bodies and rotting plants. In all moments the arrogant and satisfied face of Krvara was present and relishing the carnage. Then came a moment towards the end where her daughter was where she should not be, at the sight of one of her random destructions. A Mojiin Preserver and Avenger pulled the child out moments after the her spells were cast and she got to witness the disfugurement and horrifed scream of her daughter. The Mojiin were able to help her to mostly recover from the Corrupted spells but not fully. Following that Krvara started to change... and then the vision abruptly ended.
Kaelus looked again and there was no aura. Nothing. Not a trace of corruption on her. How could this be? How could she shed off such judgement of her vile ways? How could Arris turn her eyes from the Valsian's sacrilege? A tear rolled down Kaelus' face and said "For your crimes against Arris I find you guilty.." and then Kaelus' claw slashed the Valsian's throat and her inert form fell to the ground to return to Arris' embrace. A crimson pool formed as moments pass. So starts the vengeful reign of Hatesower Kaelus Firebrand...
Description
You are greatly intune with Nemesis' judgment and will. You can detect Corruption more finely than your less sensitive bretheren.
Prerequisites: Mojiin, Smite Corrupted, Detect Corrupted
Benefit:
Aura Delineation: You are able to more finely analyze auras seen via Detect Corruption. You are able to tell the classification of 'Corruption' as a 4rth round ability for Detect Corruption.
Example: You can delineate between, undead, clerics, outsiders, evil, Shadowtainted, Tainted, or other methods that may classify something as Corrupted.
Touch of the Inquisitor: You may expend one of your Smite Corruption attempts to use Touch of the Inquisitor. If you activate Touch of the Inquisitor and are able to touch a Corrupted entity for one full uninterrupted round you may determine their Corrupted stream. If a Dragon Lord has recently reduced their Taint score to 0 and they only have a lingering aura present every step of their fall to corruption will flash before you and reveal their true motives so that final judgement may be known. (As well as everything that may effect that judgement)
Normal: You may only tell strength of Aura and not delineate method of corruption.
