阿莎丽Asari阿莎丽人，瑟西亚星球的原生种族，通常被认为是已知星系中最强大和最受尊敬的有知觉物种。她们是继普洛仙人之后，第一个实现星际飞行、发现并定居神堡的种族。她们的寿命极长，寿命可达千年。
阿莎丽是一个单性种族，外表明显女性化，以其优雅、外交技巧、生物异能和可与任何性别或物种的伴侣繁殖的能力而闻名。她们首先提议建立神堡议会，并从那时起就一直是银河社会的核心。
生理：典型的阿莎丽人有蓝色到紫色的肤色，有些还带有面部纹身或胎记（在后一种情况下，这些标记通常代表该阿莎丽的“父亲”物种）。阿莎丽没有头部毛发，而是生成了波浪状的皮肤褶皱。除了这些差异之外，从美学上讲，阿莎丽人是最接近人类的外星物种。
尽管她们与人类有着巨大的差异，与其他种族相比也有着巨大的差异，但几乎所有的物种都认为阿莎丽人是有吸引力的，从她们的繁殖方式上考虑，这非常有利。尽管无法完全解析，一些科学家推测这种吸引力可能是某种神经化学影响。
阿莎丽人的细胞再生能力使她们的寿命长达1000年，尽管她们的愈合速度并不比其他物种快。
虽然阿莎丽人只有一种性别，但她们并非是无性的。阿莎丽人将自身基因复制两套提供给她的后代，不管“父亲”是什么物种或性别，后代都会是阿莎丽人。第二是一个独特的，被称为融合——也被称为连接或结合——的过程，在融合过程中，阿莎丽有意识地直接通过皮肤发送和接收脉冲信号，将她的神经系统与伴侣同调。实际上，阿莎丽人和她的伴侣短暂地成为一个统一的神经系统。融合前常说的一句话是“拥抱永恒”，可能是为了帮助伴侣集中注意力。
伴侣可以是另一个阿莎丽人，也可以是任何性别的外星人。然而，自从遇到其他有知觉的物种，非阿莎丽间交配已成为首选，因为他们能提供更多样性的基因。
这个过程并非发生在基因层面，因为后代是100%的阿莎丽人，没有从伴侣身上直接提取DNA。取而代之的是，阿莎丽人可以发掘伴侣的遗传基因，并将可取的的性状将加入后代的基因随机排列，从而为物种带来多样性。
这种独特的繁殖方式也是阿莎丽人都是天生异能者的原因，她们进化出的有意识地控制神经冲动的能力与生物异能训练非常相似。
阿莎丽人的融合能力也延伸到了精神领域。在交配期间，阿莎丽人和她的伴侣分享记忆、想法和感觉。也有这样一种可能，即一个阿莎丽人与他人融合，仅仅是为了传达，而非共享思想。如果阿莎丽人如此希望，她甚至可以强迫她的伴侣接受思想和命令，可能迫使他或她按照她的意愿行事——如果伴侣无法抗拒阿莎丽人的意志力。然而，这样做并不是没有后果的，即使伴侣最终被迫按照阿莎丽人的命令去行动，他或她也总是能意识到这种企图。这种精神控制的方法被大多数阿莎丽人所反对，并且被银河法律所禁止。
随着生理和心理变化作为特征，阿莎丽人会经历三个生命阶段：
• 少女阶段从出生开始，以探索和体验的动力为标志。大多数年轻阿莎丽人好奇而不安宁。
• 350岁左右开始进入成年阶段，但如果进行频繁的融合，则会更早触发。这一阶段的特点是希望在一个地区定居并抚养孩子。
• 女族长阶段开始于700岁左右，如果个体很少融合，则会开始于700岁以后。女族长在他们的社区里成为智者和议员。他们很少出现在阿莎丽空间之外，更喜欢阿莎丽社区的舒适。
然而，应该注意的是，每一个阶段都可以开始于一个阿莎丽觉得她已经达到了正确的成熟水平的时候。虽然生命的每个阶段都有强烈的生物学倾向，但个体可能会做出意想不到的人生选择。例如，有些少女宁愿呆在家里而不愿探索，有些成年阿莎丽宁愿工作而不愿建立家庭，有些女族长对社区事务不感兴趣。

Biology: A typical asari has a blue to purple skin tone and some also have facial markings, either tattoos or genetic (in the later case, those markings usually represent the “father” species of that asari). Instead of head hair, asari have wavy folds of sculpted skin. Aside from these differences, aesthetically the asari are the closest alien species to humans.
Despite the difference between them and humans, and the tremendous difference when compared to other races, asari are considered attractive by almost all species, which is useful considering their method of reproduction. Although not fully explained, some scientists speculate this attraction may be neurochemical in nature.
The asari’s cellular regeneration allows them to live up to 1000 years, though they don’t heal faster than other species.
Although asari have one gender, they are not asexual. An asari provides two copies of her own genes to her offspring, which – regardless of the species or sex of the “father” – is always an asari. The second set is altered in a unique process called melding, also known as the joining or melding. During melding, an asari consciously attunes her nervous system to her partner’s, sending and receiving electrical impulses directly through the skin. Effectively, the asari and her partner briefly become one unified nervous system. A common phrase used before melding is “embrace eternity,” presumably to help focus the partner’s mind.
The partner can be another asari, or an alien of any gender. However, since meeting other sentient species, non-asari mates have become preferred for the diversity they provide. Not in terms of genes, as the offspring is 100% asari and no DNA is taken from the partner. Instead, the asari can explore her partner’s genetic heritage and use the desirable traits to randomize the genes of their offspring, thus bringing diversity to the species.
This unique means of reproduction is also the reason asari are all talented biotics. Their evolved ability to consciously control nerve impulses is very similar to biotic training.
An asari’s melding ability extends to a mental connection as well.During mating an asari and her partner share memories, thoughts, and feelings. It is also possible for an asari to meld with another for the sole purpose of transferring thoughts, without reproduction. If the asari so desires, it can even force ideas and orders into the mind of her partner, possibly forcing him or her to act as she wishes – if the partner cannot resist the asari willpower that is. This is not done without consequence, however, and the partner is always aware of the attempt, even if he ends up being compelled to perform as the asari commands. This method of mind-control is frowned upon by most asari and is forbidden by Galactic Law.
Asari pass through three climacteric life stages, marked by biochemical and physiological changes:
• The Maiden stage begins at birth and is marked by the drive to explore and experience. Most young asari are curious and restless.
• The Matron stage of life begins around the age of 350, though it can be triggered earlier if the individual melds frequently. This period is marked by a desire to settle in one area and raise children.
• The Matriarch stage begins around 700 years of age, or later if the individual melds rarely. Matriarchs become active in their community as sages and councilors. They are rarely seen outside asari space, prefering the conforts of an asari community.
However, it should be noted that, each stage can be started whenever an asari feels that she has reached the correct level of maturity. While each stage of life is marked by strong biological tendencies, individuals do make unexpected life choices. For example, there are Maidens who stay close to home rather than explore, Matrons who would rather work than build a family, and Matriarchs who have no interest in community affairs.
由于她们的漫长寿命，阿莎丽人往往倾向于拥有一种在其他种族间不常见的“长远看法”。当他们遇到一个新物种或新情况时，他们更愿意长期被动地观察和研究，而不是立即采取行动。她们不在乎一些投资或决定在几十年或几百年内没有得到回报。女族长做出的决定似乎经常难以理解，但当她们精心制定的计划付诸回报时就能明显看出其远见。在外交关系中，这种长远的观点表现为希望保持经济、政治和军事力量的稳定平衡。
传统上，阿莎丽通过文化统治和智力优势传播他们的影响。他们邀请先进发展的新物种加入银河社区，对他们的理想和信仰将不可避免地影响现有的文化这点了然于心。阿莎丽人之间倾向于共同的，一致的态度：例如，即使有其他选择，她们住在星际飞船上时也更喜欢共用空间。
阿莎丽人相信她们的后代从融合的基因中获得了“父亲”的最佳品质——当然，这取决于阿莎丽人认为什么是最好的品质。他们也不赞成同种受孕，因为她们的基因多样性以及文化上的革新都是与在跨种结合中获得的，所以阿莎丽人种间繁殖被认为是一种浪费。这样的后代偶尔被称为“纯种”，这在当代阿莎丽人中是一种极大的侮辱。一种罕见的基因缺陷称为阿鞑-亚喀西，它使阿莎丽人在交配融合过程中摧毁伴侣的心智，在纯种后代中发生的频率更高。
阿莎丽人很清楚他们往往很有吸引力，并很舒适地表达自己的性取向。在少女时期，许多阿莎丽人在酒吧或舞厅担任色情舞者的工作。所有种族的年轻男性都对阿莎丽人着迷，但由于它们天生的性欲和与任何物种交配的能力，阿莎丽人有时被谣传为滥交，谣言大多是误传或一厢情愿。事实上，阿莎丽人必须接受一点，如果他们与自己之外的物种交配，他们几乎不可避免地会比他们的伴侣长寿（除了克洛根，他们有着同样漫长的寿命）。因此，他们也必须将自己的“长远观点”应用到人际关系中，品味与伴侣共度的时光，而不是专注于不可避免的损失。由于年龄差异，许多阿莎丽人独自抚养他们的女儿，当“父亲”物种是短命时尤其如此。
阿莎丽人在春天开始时会庆祝一个叫“嘉尼里斯”的节日，这个节日标志着新年的开始。在节日期间，她们会用花朵制作花环，送给朋友以及恋人。和其他一些神堡种族的节日一样，这个节日也被神堡星区的其他种族所吸收庆祝。

Culture: Because of their long lifespan, asari tend to have a “long view” not common in other races. When they encounter a new species or situation, they are more comfortable with an extended period of passive observation and study, rather than immediate action. They are unfazed if some of their investments or decisions do not pay off for decades or centuries. Matriarchs can seem to make incomprehensible decisions, but their insight is evident when their carefully-laid plans come to fruition. In diplomatic relations, this long view manifests in the desire to maintain stable balances of economic, political, and military power.
Traditionally, asari spread their influence through cultural domination and intellectual superiority. They invite new species of advanced development to join the galactic community, fully knowing that their ideals and beliefs will inevitably influence the existing culture. The asari tend toward communal, consensus attitudes among themselves too: for example, they prefer to live in shared spaces aboard starships even if there are alternatives available.
Asari believe that their offspring acquire the best qualities of the “father” from the melded genes – which, of course, depends on what a particular asari considers as being the best traits. They also frown upon intraspecies conception, since genetic traits and cultural insight is gained from mating outside their species, so it’s considered wasteful for asari to reproduce together. Such offspring are occasionally referred to as “purebloods”, a great insult among contemporary asari. A rare genetic defect known as Ardat-Yakshi, which makes asari destroy the partner’s mind during a mating melding, occurs much more frequently among the daughters of purebloods.
Asari are well aware they tend to be attractive, and are comfortable expressing their sexuality. During maiden stage, many asari take the job of erotic dancers in bars or discos. Young males of all races tend to have a fascination with asari. But because of their natural sensuality and ability to mate with any species, asari are sometimes rumored to be promiscuous, rumors that are mostly misinformation or wishful thinking. In fact, asari have to accept that if they mate outside their own species, they will almost inevitably outlive their partner (with the exception of the krogan, who have a similarly immense longevity). Therefore they have to apply their “long view of things” to relationships as well, savoring the time they spend with their partners rather than focusing on their inevitable loss. As a result of the age difference many asari raise their daughters alone, especially if the “father” species is short-lived.
The asari celebrate the springtime fertility ritual Janiris, which marks the start of the new year. During this time, they create wreathes of flowers and distribute them among their friends and loved ones. As is the case with the holidays of some other Citadel species, the celebration of Janiris has been adopted by other species that operate in Citadel Space.
阿莎丽人拥有银河系中最大的单一经济体，有广泛的贸易和社会联系。像塞里斯和阿玛利这样的同业公会实际上垄断了先进的生物技术。考虑到他们的政治影响力，阿莎丽人的禁运对任何种族都是灾难性的。
宗教：主要的阿莎丽宗教是席亚丽，大致的翻译为“万物一体”。其理论为宇宙是一种意识，其中的每一个生命都是更大整体的一部分，而死亡是一个人的精神能量与更大的宇宙意识的融合。席亚丽信徒并不怎么相信轮回，他们相信精神能量在死后回到宇宙意识，最终将被用来填充新的凡人容器。当阿莎丽人发现他们可以与几乎任何形式的生命“融合”时，这一宗教变得流行起来，这被视为宗教信仰的证据。
在席亚丽兴起之前，阿莎丽的宗教和她们的政治观点一样多样化。那个时代里幸存下来的教派中，最强大的是崇拜阿瑟密女神的一神教。像阿莎丽人一样，女神在少女、成年和女族长三个阶段循环。阿莎丽经常以“女神”起誓，尽管这更可能是一种文化遗产，并不反映个人的信仰。
政府：阿莎丽人形成世界政府时间较晚，几个世纪以来，他们的家乡瑟西亚都是共和政体城邦群。这是由于他们追求共识和稳定的文化倾向，他们自由交换而不是囤积资源，更愿意相互理解而不是通过冲突等解决分歧，因此减少了对大型统一政府的需要。直到信息时代，城邦之间的联系才日益紧密，互联网上的交流演变成了“电子民主”。
除了他们的议会代表外，阿莎丽没有政治家或选举，而是拥有一个自由的，包容各方的立法机构，公民可以随意参与。政策辩论在一天中的任何时间都在官方聊天室和论坛中进行，由专门编程的虚拟智能主持。在任何特定的辩论中，阿莎丽人倾向于对在场的任何一位女族长的观点给予最大的赞扬。
在现代，阿莎丽人通常在神堡议会中的担负外交职能。
军事：阿莎丽军队类似于一个非国家结构的部落式联合军队。每个社区都组织自己的单位，并选出一名领导来指挥他们。来自人口稠密城市的部队规模庞大，装备精良，而来自农庄的部队可能只有少数携带轻武器的阿莎丽人。没有统一制服，每个人都穿自己喜欢的装备。
然而，阿莎丽军队不是一支非正规民兵，她们都是全职的专业精英。阿莎丽猎手一般都处于少女阶段，花费20-30年的时间学习武术。阿莎丽人选择年轻时成为战士，因此，她们的教育致力于为这一目的磨砺他们的思想和身体。
生物异能也是参军的必要条件，这意味着阿莎丽人必须在入伍前发展出她天生的生物天赋。
女猎手们单独或结成小组战斗，这取决于她们的城镇偏好的战术。但是，在灵活多变的同时，阿莎丽人做不到像克洛根、突锐人或者人类一样在敌对火力中屹立不倒。由于他们的部队规模较小，通常缺乏重型装甲和支援性武器，他们无法进行常规战争，尤其是防御战。因此，阿莎丽部队通常承担伏击、渗透和暗杀等特殊行动任务，通过密集、集中的游击打击来挫败敌人的士气。

Military: The asari military resembles a collection of tribal warrior bands with no national structure. Each community organizes its own unit and elects a leader to command them. Units from populous cities are large and well-equipped, while those from farm villages may be only a few asari with small arms. There is no uniform; everyone wears what they like.
However, the asari military is not an irregular militia, those who serve are full-time professionals. The average asari huntress is in the maiden stage of her life and has devoted 20-30 years studying the martial arts. Asari choose to be warriors at a young age, and their education from that point is dedicated to sharpening their mind and body for that sole purpose.
Biotics abilities are also a requirement to enter the military, meaning that an asari must have developed her innate biotic talents before enlisting.
Huntresses fight individually or in pairs, depending on the tactics preferred in their town. But while fluid and mobile, asari can’t stand up in a firefight the way a krogan, turian, or human could. Since their units are small and typically lack heavy armor and support weapons, they are incapable of fighting a conventional war, particularly one of a defensive nature. Thus, asari units typically undertake special operations missions such as ambush, infiltration, and assassination, demoralizing and defeating their enemies through intense, focused guerrilla strikes.

一个阿莎丽角色可以成为任何通用职业或以下特殊职业：阿莎丽纯血异能者、阿莎丽猎手、阿莎丽科学家。
阿莎丽种族特征：• 身体特征：阿莎丽在敏捷、智慧和魅力上获得+2加值，力量和体质受到-2惩罚。他们是仁慈，智慧和美丽的生物，甚至被其他种族的成员认为是这样，但他们的身体较弱。
• 中等体型：作为中等体型生物，阿莎丽没有来自体型的特殊奖励或惩罚。
• 正常速度：阿莎丽基础移动速度为30英尺。
• 外交官：阿莎丽人的所有社交检定都得到+2加值。
• 天然异能者：阿莎丽不会因为不使用生物异能放大器而受到惩罚。选择没有生物异能的职业的阿莎丽在第一级总是获得基础的生物训练专长，在第一级只获得1专长（而不是正常的2专长）。此外，一个阿莎丽总是有生物技能作为职业技能。
• 融合：所有的阿莎丽都拥有通过触摸将她的神经系统与另一个愿意的生物的神经系统调谐的能力。正是通过这种能力，阿莎丽繁殖。这个能力也允许阿莎丽和其他生物分享记忆、思想和感觉。阿莎丽人可以选择交配，也可以简单地与融合者分享记忆和想法。
阿莎丽必须持续接触目标生物（如果她或该生物中断接触，或被另一个生物从接触中移除，则融合立即中断）。这个技能的激活时间随阿莎丽的HD而变化：5 HD及以下需要一整轮，超过5 HD只需要一个动作。
阿莎丽融合持续时间不能超过等同于她的体质的分钟数，超过则阿莎丽必须每分钟进行一次体质检定（初始DC为10，每超过融合时间限制一分钟增加1）以避免疲劳。在每次融合之后，阿莎丽必须做出一个DC12的坚韧豁免检定，否则变得疲劳——对于年轻的阿莎丽人来说，融合会非常激烈和令人衰弱。一旦进入疲劳状态，融合立即结束，阿莎丽直到恢复前都不能再使用此能力。
阿莎丽和目标生物都可以花费自由行动随时打破融合，但只能在他们自己的回合中。
然而，阿莎丽的心灵融合能力还有更黑暗的一面。任何阿莎丽人都可以通过接触非自愿的生物（并保持接触）来强制对该生物进行融合，除非该生物在一个DC10（+1/2阿莎丽HD+阿莎丽魅力调整值）的意志豁免检定中成功。此外，在任何融合过程中，无论自愿与否，阿萨里也能强迫生物以某种方式行动，就像控制生物的思想一样。为了避免这种情况，目标生物必须在DC10（+1/2阿莎丽HD+阿莎丽魅力调整值）的意志豁免检定中成功，否则只能被迫按照此阿莎丽人的意愿行动。这种精神控制的形式是有限的，因为一旦接触被打破，它就结束了，因为生物完全意识到阿莎丽的影响和精神控制的尝试，所以阿莎丽人使用这种方式通常只会提取信息或强迫生物与她交配。GM可以奖励目标生物对此意志豁免的加成或惩罚，这取决于该生物与阿莎丽相比有多少叛徒或模范点数。例如：如果阿莎丽有一个高叛逆值而同时目标拥有高楷模值，GM可以为融合目标提供加值以抵制阿莎丽的命令。
在融合过程中，阿莎丽人和目标生物都会完全无视周围的环境，变得除了彼此和他们共享的东西之外，看不到、听不到和感觉不到任何东西。然而，外界的暴力影响会立即打破融合过程。
在融合过程中，阿莎丽的眼睛变得漆黑，虹膜变得几乎无法分辨。

• Melding: All asari possess the ability to attune her nervous system with that of another willing creature through touch. It is through this ability that asari reproduce. This ability also allows the asari and the other creature to share memories, thoughts and feelings. The asari can choose to mate or simply share memories and thoughts with a melding.
The asari must constantly be touching the target creature (if her or the creature breaks contact, or is removed from contact by another, the melding is immediately broken). The activation time for this ability varies with the asari’s HD: up to 5 HD it requires 1 full round, above 5 HD it merely requires 1 action.
No asari can keep a melding for longer than a number of minutes equal to her Constitution score, pushing beyond that limit forces the asari to make Constitution checks each minute (initial DC is 10 and increases by 1 with each additional minute beyond the limit spent in melding) to avoid becoming fatigued. After each melding, the Asari must make a Fortitude save DC 12 or becomes fatigued – for young asari melding can be extremely intense and debilitating.
Once fatigued, the melding ends and the asari cannot use this ability until she recovers.
Both the asari and the target creature can break the melding at will, with a free action, but only during their turns.
There is, however, a more darker side to the asari mind melding ability. Any asari can force the meld on an unwilling creature by touching the creature (and maintaining contact) and forcing the meld unless the creature succeeds on a Will save DC 10 + 1/2 asari HD + asari Charisma modifier. In addition, during any melding, willingly or not, the asari can also force the creature to act in a certain way, as if controlling the creature’s thoughts. To avoid this, the target creature must succeed on a Will save DC 10 + 1/2 asari HD + asari Charisma modifier or is compelled to act according to the asari’s wished. This form of mind control is limited because it ends as soon as contact is broken, and because the creature is completely aware of the asari’s influence and mind-control attempt, so asari who use this usually do it to extract information or force the creature into mating with her. The GM may award the target creature with a bonus or penalty to this Will save depending on how many Renegade or Paragon points the creature has in comparison to the asari. Example: if the asari has a high Renegade score and the target a high Paragon score, the GM can award a bonus to resist the asari’s commands.
During melding, both the asari and the target creature are completely oblivious to the surrounding environment, becoming unable to see, hear or feel anything except each other and what they share. A violent shake, however, breaks the melding immediately.
During the melding, the asari’s eyes become pitch black with the iris barely distinguishable.
