Name: Obcisorians
Designation: Sentient
Homeworld: Kamino. Though thousands of years ago they all moved to the moon of Yavin XIII
Language: Obcisor, Basic
Average height of adults: 2.1-2.2 meters (Same for both sexes)
Skin color: Various shades of grey, growing paler as he/she ages
Hair color: Males are bald, females have long, thick strands of black hair that is braided or tied back.
Breathes: Type 1
Strengths:
+Highly Intelligent: Technologically advanced, Obcisorians have learned to adapt, modify and create what they need to survive in the harsh environment on desert moon of Yavin XIII, including but not limited to; genetic modification, various technologies to collect moisture and keep their underground caves in relatively high humidity.
+Stealth: Their wiry frames and and grey skin helps them to hide in dense fog, as well as in darkness. Even their armour and clothing are dark to match. Different colours do not exist in their spectrum. They can remain standing perfectly still for hours, fooling their unsuspecting prey or enemies until it is too late.
+Sensitive Skin: As a blind creature might use echo location, the high pressure and density of the atmosphere that they have created within their network of caves and ships work really well for their sensitive skin. They detect movement through the wakes of air currents, almost in the way that a Force User can detect what's in their environment through ripples in the Force. They can also detect fluctuations in temperature.
+Multi-task: Some members of the Obcisorian race in the past have genetically modified their family lines into having additional limbs to increase their productivity levels in the labs, as well as make more savage soldiers.
Weaknesses:
+/-Self Molecule-Structure Manipulation: Some Obcisorians soldiers have been genetically modified to manipulate their molecular structure when in lower pressure environments such as the Life Zone on Bespin, enabling them to spread the spaces in between their molecules, which allows them to change from a solid form to a patch of fog and back again, much like the native Neo-Bespinians. Due to the extreme level of energy needed to produce such a transformation, Obscisorians are only able to perform it three times in their lifetime, as each transformation increases their body's age by twenty standard years. Typically those Obcisorians with that rare ability only use it once they are already past their prime and on a suicide mission. When in the fog form, they cannot go through walls or structures. While in fog form they are vulnerable to strong gusts if wind, so this ability is more commonly used indoors. (Source for similar ability: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Neo-Bespinian )
-Forced Hibernation: Living in a high pressure environment within the caves causes them to use a lot of energy. For three months of any given year, their bodies need to hibernate, followed by a feeding frenzy in order to replenish what was used.
-Sensitive to Cold: Obcisorians cannot survive in cold climates. It freezes their blood and shuts down their organs. To maintain their body temperature in cold climates, they wear insulated body suits. So far they have not yet created enough insulation to allow them to survive in freezing temperatures. They feel no need to do so.
-Superiority Complex: Obcisorians view themselves as being far superior than any other race. Each family seeks to rise above the others through scientific achievements and through the protection of their labs from intruders.
-Competitive: Life is but a competition. Obcisorians will kill anyone that they believe will get in their way of rising in their ranks, including members of their own family. It has led to feuds amongst them that have lasted for centuries.
-Vulnerable to Sudden Changes in Air Pressure: Just as our own bodies need time to adjust to the difference in air/water pressures, so to do the Obcisorians. Their bodysuits help them with that by releasing, maintaining or increasing pressure within at a moderate rate. As such, if an opponent penetrated the suit, or if it didn't work properly, and the Obcisorian's body had not had the proper time to adjust, their organs would rupture and they would die.
Distinctions: Tall, grey, thin with elongated limbs and necks, much like their distant cousins from Kamino. However Obcisorians are more warlike and aggressive in everything that they do. Some have additional limbs. Each hand consists of five clawed digits, three up top and two below, giving them superior gripping and climbing ability. Females are distinguished by their long black hair, while the males are bald. Their clothing is fashioned by the skins of their prey and their enemies while their armour is constructed by the minerals found within their cave network.
Average Lifespan: Capable of living past 100 standard years. However, the average lifespan is 60 standard years, with soldiers usually dying before they reach the age of 30.
Races: Each family line (consisting of thousands), has their own distinct genetic modification to tell them apart, including but not limited to additional limbs, horns and molecular manipulation. There is no cross breeding between families.
Estimated Population: Less than one million. With no desire to spread entirely across the Galaxy as of yet, Obcisorians currently can only be found within their cave network of Yavin XIII. However one family line has decided to explore the Outer Rim for resources. Their internal wars and feuds maintain their population control.
Diet: Gerbs and Sliths, any source of meat that finds it's way to their caves. When food supplies were low or when a war was won, it is highly common for them to devour their enemies in celebratory feasts. They do not eat plant life.
Communication: Speech, body language.
Culture: Much like Mandalorians and other warlike species, Obcisorians have developed a military and pack-like structure. There is an Alpha Male and Alpha Female, with other ranks leading up to them within their social ladder. Even the scientists among them carry a similar culture in their labs. All breeding is incestual, however their families have thousands of members, diversifying their gene pool to a degree. Cross breeding between families is highly rare and forbidden. Each family seeks to out due themselves in technology and war superiority. Every Obcisorian learns how to fight from a young age, both in hand to hand as well as with a variety of blades and sharp projectiles.
Technology level: Highly intelligent. Obcisorian scientists can manipulate their genetic make up, as well as advance their technologies to enable them to survive in most environments. They have their own interstellar transport vessels, but have no desire to spread across the Galaxy as of yet.
General behaviour: One could call them savage due to their violent and cannibalistic nature, but they are highly intelligent. Their affinity to war has given them strategic minds and expert fighting abilities. Secrecy of their existence is another aspect that Obcisorians love about themselves. It gives their prey far less of a chance of survival if they don't know what is hunting them.
History: Thousands of years ago, Obcisorians left the aquatic world of Kamino and settled underground of Yavin XIII, due to the desire to finding their own world to conquer and thrive. The high pressure under the surface of Yavin XIII was not unlike the pressure underwater on Kamino. Through genetic modifications both natural and non, they were able to adapt to their new home, and live virtually undetected. Only when they want to be seen are they ever discovered, however most of the time they are in armoured bodysuits, giving their already horrific bodies an even more monster-ish appearance. Tales of their rare appearances have been known to induce nightmares in children.
Notable Player-Characters: None as of yet, but there is some interest upon approval.
Intent: Planning on introducing these guys in this thread: http://starwarsrp.net/topic/87391-in-the-bowels-of-bespin/page-1as the big bad guys preventing mining on the surface of Bespin. For the moment I will be NPCing them, but I have some players interested in creating characters of this species if approved.
This is my first time creating such a species. So any suggestions for improvement would be great
