A Traveler
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
+Rag-doll Obitus Have full 360 degree rotation on any of Their Joints allowing them to contort their bodies into most any position. as well as the ability to support their body with minimal balance. makes their movements look like that of a puppet, letting them squeeze into tighter spaces than many would think possible.
+Chemovore Obitus can feed off of hydrogen Sulfide by filtering it through frills in their throat. Turning the Hydrogen Sulfide into Carbohydrates as well as pure sulfur gas as a waste product expelled out the mouth as a gas. allowing for the Obitus to survive without eating. However this isn't as effective, nor give them proper nutrition.
+Torpor Obitus Have full control over their bodies metabolism allowing them to save energy in famines, they can stay in this state for several months if barely moving, until food becomes accessible again. Though not very useful in the day to day for Obitus; Slowing their metabolism can fool most bio-scanners, if need be.
Weaknesses:
- Repulsive Obitus are feared and distrusted by most other races due to their skeletal appearance, reclusiveness towards others, avoidance of the sun, and odd sense of humor.
- UV Sensitive Due to the relative lack of light on Teklos direct sunlight will harm any uncovered skin, as well as eyes. This will cause a sunburn in 30 minutes, severe wounds and cataracts in 2 hours, and death in 4. though artificial light is nothing but a nuisance.
-Low Birth rate for Obitus children are quite rare. this is a combination of a long pregnancy, comparative lack of twins, low fertility, and a large proportion of their population are spread across the stars.
CULTURE
The Obitus were discovered not long ago. before then they lived an agrarian lifestyle having each town submitted resources to the capital city for protection against the wildlife on Teklos. it wasn't until swoop gangs found the planet in 758 ABY that they had any idea that life existed elsewhere in the galaxy. Though the gangs had superior tech The Obitus outnumbered them. Lead by Capital's forces they began holding raids in the dead of night hiding in tight spaces waiting and trapping and killing all of the gangers they got their hands on. After a bloody conflict the remaining thugs ran. 50 years later the galactic alliance discovered Teklos. The Obitus where wary at first due to their run in with the gangs but grew to trust the alliance even allowing Jedi to take some of their infants to be trained in their order. News began to spread throughout the galaxy of Teklos as well as the inhabitants. The Sith took the opportunity of a relatively unguarded planet Kidnapping many force sensitive Obitus from their homes. The Sith, then used lies and subterfuge to cause the Obitus grow worried that the galactic alliance had betrayed them acusing them of stealing their people. In the meantime They alliance Fear The Obitus were inhuman monsters that'd joined the empire. This was Settled in 832 ABY with Teklos being closed to all non obitus visitors under threat of Alliance force while they handed over Any of their resources they could spare to have it stay that way.

CULTURE
- Diet: Omnivore
- Communication: A unique language Full of chittering and teeth clacking, as well as galactic basic.
- Technology level: Bellow galactic standard
- General behavior:
- The Obitus stay together in small tight knit families, hiding themselves under armor and cloth. They hide themselves to make sure they don't get burned by the light on other worlds and to conceal their appearance from others. The Obitus have a dark sense of humor, and this coupled with their outward appearance makes them social outcasts causing The few who left Teklos to move from planet to planet never staying in one place too long. On Teklos The Obitus live peaceful lives trading their natural resources with the rest of the galaxy in exchange for being left alone. They cremate their dead burying them on their home world.
