Alien Races
Ceinerth
Centipodal life form, growing in segments with 5 tentacles each. Evolved underground. Kyruss finds their young delicious.
Duzan
Roughly human in size and silhouette. Duzan paint their faces and the color of the paint correlates to their profession.
- WHITE - Mercenary
- RED - Criminal
- BLUE - Leader
- GREEN - Trader
Red faced Duzan are often depicted as villains or boogeymen in popular holo-media.
The Duzan are very isolationist and thus their own cultural media isn't usually received well. Much of their art supposedly builds off of Duzan folklore and apocrypha and thus it tends to come off to others as dry, incomprehensibly dense, or inappropriately morbid. Individual Duzan tend to have a sense of humor that could be described as dry to the point that its indistinguishable from droll observations.
Mrup
Vaguely feline in form, bipedal, slightly larger than human in mass, the Mrup evolved from ambush hunters. Metabolism suited to long waits and sudden feasts adapted well to cold sleep, and the Mrup colonized many neighboring worlds using sub-light ships. After contact with aliens and FTL drive, they went into a comparative decline. Freed from their natural diet and food scarcity, they are prone to metabolic syndromes. They have keen senses and good powers of sensory integration and imagination, which gives them a natural advantage over some other races as small-craft pilots. A handful of Mrup with synesthesic disorders have made remarkable inroads in abstract fields. A researcher who can intuitively visualize the results of a quantum string interaction can work more rapidly than one who can only work with it mathematically.
T'Selek
Threel
Slightly smaller than humans, Threel are lightly-built aliens with large eyes and keratinous fringes that tend to click or even clap when they move suddenly. Threel brain structure differs a lot from human, and it enables than to compartmentalize their emotions. A Threel having a pleasant conversation in an stressful setting may have a completely relaxed vocal style, but display the head-on-a-swivel mannerisms of a paranoiac.
