OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

  • Intent: To add an Industrial Race that can create interesting storylines in terms of greed and profit.
  • Image Credit: Oddworld Wikia
  • Canon: N/A
  • Links: Elkin Magor
GENERAL INFORMATION
  • Name: Drekx
  • Designation: Sentient
  • Origins: Drekxor
  • Average Lifespan: Up to 250 years
  • Estimated Population: Scattered
  • Description: Profits, that is something that has always driven the Drekx and they will do what ever it takes to increase their wealth. An Industrial species that was native to the planet Drekxor, the Drekx started as hopelessly pathetic water dwelling creatures. Through their wits, smarts and ruthlessness the Drekx eventually took over the planet and began industrializing. The Drekx has a deep mistrust in the force or any kind of magic spending time manufacturing cheap products to appeal to the masses. If there's a popular drink, food or even clothing chances are that it was made by the Drekx. They are willing to drive a species to mass extinction, desecrate burials just to earn a quick buck. Nothing is too sacred and nothing too precious as long as it makes them money.

  • Distinctions: A defining trait for Drekx is their small, shriveled legs and their very long arms. The Drekx's legs are so small, that they have to rely on their hands for movement. As such, the Drekx call upon lesser races to do most if not all of the grunt work for the,.

Strengths:
  • Ambitious: There's a Drekx saying: "There's no such thing as too much ambition." Once a Drekx has their sights set on something, they will do what ever it takes to achieve it and won't care about anything else.
  • Good Publicity: Many people know about the Drekx's atrocities, it's just that because they provide a large portion of food and drink and have places in government, they sometimes look the other way.
  • Intelligence: Many Drekx excel in economics and generally have good business sense. There were books published about a Drekx's success and there were Drekx that gave lectures about businesses in major Universities.
  • Fashion Sense: Aside from good business sense, Drekx also love fashion to where they also have many fashion businesses. This is reflected in their style of clothing, even the poorest Drekx makes sure to dress the best they can.
Weaknesses:
  • Frail: The Drex's bodies shriveled and vulnerable, a slight push could leave them unable to get up. Richer Drekx usually have remedies to prevent that from happening.
  • Easily panic stricken: Even though the Drekx are an ambitious species, they tend to overreact when the slightest thing goes wrong. There are accounts of Drekx committing suicide because their stocks only decreased by a slight margin.
  • Lack of Empathy/Selfish: The Drekx do not care for any one else but themselves, they will enslave an entire race, make them forget their history and have them transform their planet into a parking lot and will be only sad if it doesn't gain them profits that they have hoped.
  • Backstabbing: Even the Sith would be appalled at the amount of backstabbing that they do. The climb to be the richest Drekx in the Galaxy is attained by the corpses of fellow Drekx or just putting them out of business.

CULTURE
  • Diet: Used to Herbivore but they are now unrepentant Carnivores.
  • Communication: Basic though language may vary.
  • Technology level: It's the Galactic Standard but without those pesky OSHA laws.
  • Religion/Beliefs: They've had spiritual beliefs but their religion is money and status.
  • General behavior: The Drekx are an industrial race, consumed by personal wealth and social status they are willing to do whatever it takes to reach to the top whether its making an entire species extinct or manipulate native races into working for them for free in the name of profits, backstab fellow Drekx through sabotage or rumor spreading. Poorer classes such as farmers are often look down upon and treated with disdain yet as they climb up the ranks, they will be respected and even seen as a deity of sorts. To hide their shriveled bodies, Drekx often dress in fancy zoot suits that emphasize their shoulders giving them a large, domineering presence. The wealthier the Drekx, the more expensive and elaborate the suit is. There is a 1:20 female to male birth ratio with females usually being the leader of the large industrial clans split amongst the Drekx. Women of the Drekx are often groomed to become Queens or placed in high positions of power and like the males would happily backstab each other in order to consume their businesses. The Drekx government is a mix of monarchy and capitalism ignoring all ethical means to rise as one of the major Industrial powerhouses in the galaxy. Unlike the Hutts, the Drekx value a somewhat clean image having representatives throughout the CIS, Galactic Alliance and even the New Imperial Order. The Drekx also peddle cheap, but delicious and addictive foods and drinks throughout the galaxy while also building transportation. They have a fondness for smoking and are rarely seen without a spicestick in their mouth. Of course the wealthier the Drekx, the more expensive and rare the Spicestick is. In Drekx tradition, blowing smoke to another person is equivalent of stringing a barrage of curse words and is the ultimate sign of disrespect.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

Thousands of years ago, the Gran has conducted many experiments on Malastare. One such experiment involved creating an entire race and place them on an inhospitable planet to see if they survive and thrive on it. The Gran subjugated the Dug species and began to genetically alter them creating them to be physically fragile but with tremendous ambition and the will to survive above all else. They then placed these new species on a remote planet called: Drekxor a completely barren wasteland aside from areas near the coasts of the small bodies of water (shrimpy rivers, pond-like lakes, and tiny seas) and forgot about them ever since. However the first Drekx managed to stay alive by placing themselves underground.

Hey, while these guys seem like a cool idea, you will have to do some edits. Right now, the Drekx are basically still the Glukkon they’re based on. I would suggest a full rework, and I’ll add that I’ve been there to, so don’t worry. As long as you separate them form Oddworld you’ll be good.
