The demographics of Honalulu mostly consist of Absukians who are a Semi-Aquatic Mammalian Race of people; typically described by outsiders as alien sharks. Their species possess fish and amphibian-like traits, such as the fins of a shark, webbed feet and hands, along with gills that allow them to swim and thrive underwater; they live amphibiously both on land and water. They did not develop mammalian ears until later on in their evolution. An Absukian's average height is around 5'3 feet (160 cm) and the tallest Absukians are around 6'7", with their maximum height being 6'7 ft (200.7 cm). They can dive to depths of 1,800 meters without equipment. With an average swimming speed of 50 km/h and a running speed of 40 km/h.
They have Ampullae of Lorenzini's able to detect faint electrical signals given off by other creatures within around a meter of them. Along with vibration sensors that can detect vibrations in the ocean within 100 meters.
General Outline:
Classification: Semi-Aquatic Mammals
Average Height: 5'3"
Maximum Height: 6'7"
Average Mass: 90kg
Average Lifespan: 500 Years
Feature Overview:
Absukians are viviparous and may be bioluminescent. Depending on ethnic groupings, they have fins on various body parts. They can regrow teeth and have sharp ones with powerful jaws, but only one row, and have 7-12 inch glowing tongues. Their skin is extremely smooth and made from tiny armor denticles. They have webbed hands and feet, four fingers and a thumb, and claws. Absukians have excellent night vision. All Absukians have five fingers, a thumb, and five toes. They have webbed hands & feet as well, like amphibians. They also have claws; their claws are slightly translucent, and they can be long or short. They have paw pads on their feet. But sometimes, it can be on their hands. A flexible claw on each side of their feet resembles almost velociraptor-like.
Hair:
Absukians have appendages on their head that mimic hair despite having no hair strands. They can have control of these appendages as well.
Eyes:
Their eyes have scotopic vision & have tapetum lucidum, which allows them to see in low-light environments such as murky or deep waters. They have a nictitating membrane, which will enable them to feed on prey and to help protect their eyes. (Southern Absukians have darker sclera unless crossbred with other Absukian subspecies.)
Frills:
Absukian frills come in different shapes & sizes. Baby Absukians (pups) don't have fully developed frills until they grow up to 3 months old.
Ears:
Absukian ears come in different sizes from each region. Some develop ears that are abnormal & unique due to their genetics at birth through crossbreeding. The most common ear shapes are the Western, Eastern, Northern, and Southern. (Western Absukians have the biggest ears out of all the three regional Absukians; the reason why they possess such big ears is because of the hot environments they are in, which allows them to dissipate excess heat during hot days.
Bioluminescence Tongues:
All Absukians have bioluminescent tongues, the very major muscular organ. Their tongue is slim and always seen as shiny looking. But baby Absukians do not possess glowing tongues until later in their childhood. Absukians have 1 set row of sharp teeth and a long tongue; the length is similar to pangolins, anteaters. (Absukian tongues can be around 7-12 inches long [17.8 cm - 30.5 cm). They may also have bioluminescent markings.
Skin:
Absukian’s skin is covered by tiny, flat V-shaped scales called placoid scales, also known as dermal denticles. But their skin is also shiny and almost slippery too. Making it feel less like sandpaper and somehow smooth. This also has allowed them to shield their internal skin from UV radiation and virtually decrease skin cancer to 0%. However, this doesn’t protect from things like X-rays or other radiations stronger than UV radiation.
The scales that act like neck fluff were a rare trait passed down from the ancestry of each region. It can also be a form of armor for each Absukian. Their scales are smooth and surprisingly flexible. The pointed tips of the scales do not hurt them in the slightest.
Reproduction:
Absukians are a viviparous species.
Teeth:
Absukians do not have three rows of teeth like regular sharks do, only 1 row of teeth. They also have a molars at the back of their teeth.
Venom glands:
Absukians possess two sides of a gland inside their throats. Absukians use this venom in fights or battles but also to protect themselves from predators. Their saliva mixed with the venom (which has a blue appearance) they build up can be deadly, especially from their bite combined. A bite from Absukians can be lethal.
Gender differences:
Females are typically identified by their mammalian traits, such as larger breasts, and more diminutive stature. In contrast, males have a larger stature and do not have breasts. Males produce greater testosterone than females and, therefore, have more masculine traits such as increased bone mass, muscle mass, etc.. However, that is not to say females can’t achieve said traits but take longer to develop than males or require supplements to achieve the same level of physique.

Absukians (origin name: Abzukian) comes from the Kiv'nava language. Which had evolved from a written and sign language known as Tin'vaak to the vocal language of Kiv'nava.
Kian means Monster, Leviathan or, strange, unusual, ancient. Absu means Shark(s).
WIP
There are four subspecies of Absukians, each with unique features and traits. Starting with an overview of each one. Each regional variant has a different appearance to one another.
Eastern Absukians:
They are the most common subspecies among them. The most notable feature is their snouts, ranging from short, long, or pointed; they also have hip fins. They possess standard traits: webbed hands, feet, and frills. Eastern Absukians that have been crossbred can have other traits, too. This is the same for other subspecies.
Western Absukians:
They are the smallest subspecies. They sometimes have facial markings that look like a mask. They possess forearm fins as well. They are the most friendly of the three. Western Absukians usually have big ears, which are used to cool them down in hot environments.
Southern Absukians:
They have sharper claws, fins on their ankles, and pure dark sclera eyes. Southern Absukians are seen as a tougher and brawny subspecies. Their appearance is seen as scary due to their dark sclera eyes and intimidating look. Their dark sclera eyes allow them to catch the tiniest amount of light. They are the only nocturnal & crepuscular subspecies.
Northern Absukians:
They are commonly known for their noble and elegant attitude and looks. They have slanted eyes but can have other eye traits; they have similar height to the Eastern. The fins they have located around their crotch area are the pelvic fins. However, not all have pelvic fins. They have earlobes that range from small to large, which allows them to wear ear gauges. Northern Absukians have an odd way of taking compliments. They enjoy compliments on their ear gauges; it is considered attractive to have colorful, glamorous gauges: the size of the gauges also matters.
