NAME:: Hiromaxiu Xanderospexus
ALIAS(ES):: Xander Exus
AGE:: 25 in human years, 1654 by his race’s calander
SEX:: Male
ORIENTATION:: He dips and dabs in all things ;-)
RACE:: Derospex
OTHER:: More about the Derospex will be revealed as the RP unfolds, but more importantly more about Xander will unfold within the story.
DIETARY:: Derospex are omnivores, they feast of plant life and meat. Their favorite foods are slow moving Arfax. Arfax resemble a turtle without a shell, and are the size of a dollar bill. Their favorite plants are a type of weed that grows in their native planet’s water/seas. These weeds are known at Muffali, and are very abundant, growing as tall as trees.
MATING:: Derospex mate every nine months if they so choose. They give birth to live young and how many young they give birth to depends on the climate and weather conditions on Firafoss, their home planet.
AGING:: They do not age in a sense, but they do die. It has not been documented how old a Derospex is when they die, but it has been noted that a Derospex has lived past a million years.
ANATOMY:: Despite the size of their head and eyes, the Derospex are extremely intelligent, and can see in various environments. They have many tendrils that act as offensive and defensive tools. The tendrils possess a toxin, and can produce electricity that can stop the heart of an elephant. The Derospex can control the voltage as well as the level of toxicity from non-toxic to deadly. These tendrils also act like fingers and feet, but the Derospex float/fly wherever they go. They can walk but choose not to. They are extremely fast and agile.
STATUS:: They are peaceful unless threatened. Because of their reproductive cycles and rate, they are very abundant on Firafoss
PLANET(S):: Firrafos is a beautiful blue planet with beautiful oceans and marvelously flourishing land. The dirt on this planet is a cyan like color. It’s atmosphere resembles that of Earth’s, but it does not produce tornadoes or hurricanes.
OTHER:: A human can venture to their planet and survive, for their oceans are not salt based and are fresh. Their lands can withhold any plant life, which makes Firrafos a desired place for many races and species.
LIKES:: Xander loves flying and hovering and eating his favorite foods. He enjoys talking. He enjoys hunting. He hates being touched unexpectedly, because usually the one responsible ends up being stung severely. Xander has a beautiful singing voice and loves to expand his intelligence.
DISLIKES:: Those creatures that cannot fly and must walk upon the land. It is more of a pity, but they still tend to not converse with them unless they have to. He dislikes vicious creatures that kill just to kill. He believes in eating his fill and moving on.
NOTES:: They normally don’t have fears because of their defenses, but anytime any of their young is in danger, they will risk their lives to save them. They tend to shy away from sharp pointy things, though their “skin” can change from soft to hard as rock. Xander tends to secrete a type of mucus when he is excited or nervous. This mucus is prized and highly sought after by interstellar merchants, thus his race is hunted from time to time.
INTRO:: “Damn,” he said softly as he floated around the ship.
He enjoyed traveling, but mostly he just flew to different planets; however, he had decided to take a ship to Terra this once, just to conserve his own energy. As he floated there, he couldn’t help but notice the variety of races within the ship, there were even half breeds which he frowned upon. He had no clue how different races mated with one another, nor did he want to find out, but the thought simply made him sick to his stomach. He floated away from those types of aliens and made his way over to a few purebloods, at least he could relate to them more.
Silence filtered into his ear holes, but it wasn’t to last. Talking sprung up between several occupants and the sound made him grouchy. He enjoyed silence, but a lot of noise caused him to be a bit irritable and the first thing he did was snap at the nearest alien, threatening to zap the poor alien if he didn’t move away from him. He turned his attention back to the encyclopedia of advanced races and species and continued reading, but the noise level was still growing and the turbulence was making it hard to concentrate. Cursing, the Derospex floated back to his quarters and lay upon the interesting looking device known as a “bed”. He closed his ocular holes and proceeded to allow himself sleep.
Later
Hee awoke, finding himself surrounded by wreckage. His vision was blurry and the only thing he remembered was awakening from his slumber earlier and having his head knocked hard against the wall. Grunting, he lifted himself off the ground and placed a tendril against his head, rubbing the spot that hit the hard metal of the ship. He was suffering from what the humans called a “headache” and it was growing in intensity.
“What the hell happened?” He asked out loud, but mostly to himself as he attempted to piece together the cause of the crash landing.
OTHER:: Will add more as the story progresses, so make sure to continually check.
Electrical Conduit: Xander's race are naturally electrical. Their bodies generate it, and the voltage can be controlled. During thunderstorms, if they are on other planets, they'll fly in the sky in hopes of being struck by lightning or energy sources, and will store it away for their own use. However, because they generate electrical voltage, they don't necessarily need lightning storms.
Supreme Mind: Because they have no appendages aside from the tendrils which act as such, they normally use their minds or tendrils to grab things. Yes, they are psychic, but only able to use the spectrum of psychic that involves telekinesis. Their minds aren't able to be hacked by other psychic races which allows them cover and stealth when hunting. Because there is no known age limit for Derospexes, they tend to be living floating encyclopedias, filled with knowledge.
Poison Conduit: Xander's race can ingest poison and develop an even toxic poison that they then use as a defensive weapon or an offensive weapon. At will, they can cause their tendrils to become poisonous and inflict mild poison or extremely toxic poison. Because of this, many do not touch Derospexes and shy away from eating them. It is this reason that Derospexes are immune to all types of poison, some willingly ingest it to create their own poisons. Quite the toxicologist.
Iron Tail: Because they have no arms, legs, feet and hands, they have to use their tail in combat and their tail is extremely strong, nearly as strong as rock. Being struck by a Derospex's tail is like being struck by a club swung by a body builder. They can move their tails extremely quick to block, jab, and deflect.
