Benkyoujin (Mo'o 'Ala)

The Benkyoujin (勉強人, べんきょうじん) are an intelligent race in the story of Mo'o 'Ala- The Mighty Primate King.

History
The Benkyoujin were a race of proto-humans created  on the planet Benkyou by the god Kane. The Benkyoujin were created as a supremely knowledgable race who lacked all emotion, relying only on reason and science. They were one of the first races to be created by Kane in order to determine whether knowledge, emotion (embodied by the Kanjijin), or wisdom (embodied by the Jukukoujin) was a better virtue.

The Benkyoujins' scientific prowess and technological advancements led them to swiftly develop their entire planet into a series of many vast cities dotted with nature preserves and massive research centers. They quickly became a space-faring nation and set out across the stars with the goal of learning as much about the universe as possible and documenting everything. They had become obervers of the universe while keeping file of as much knowledge as possible.

Despite their achievements they did not receive the favor of Kane. Without emotion they were little more than organic robots, and despite their vast potential for being a positive force on the universe they merely observed. Thus, Kane left them to their devices and continued to attempt to create the perfect race.
