Drythamis
War Brute
- Intent: Making a race of lion-like humanoids, which, while all force-sensitive, have an extremely difficult time utilizing force powers as well as being small in populace due to the destruction of their home world in 775 ABY. As a consequence, they are scattered and disunited, with the long-lived species now facing inevitable extinction. Well, only one remains, now.

- Name: Nymaen | Leokin
- Designation: Sentient
- Origins: Originally from a Wild Space planet known as Heraklios, but with its destruction, have been scattered throughout Wild Space and the Outer Rim since 775 ABY. Or were, until their demise.
- Average Lifespan: Long-lived due to regenerative telomeres and their natural force sensitivity, they can live up to roughly nine hundred years as an average, though some individuals can live as long as one thousand and eight hundred if they take proper care of themselves and have access to medical quality of life. Adults are considered around fifty years old, with elderly at eight hundred, and children from ten to thirty, young adults from thirty-one to forty-nine.
- Estimated Population: Single Individual. Only one remains, to be more specific and clear.
- Description: Hulking and massive, the species known as Nymaens, or more generally as Leokin, are a species of lion-like humanoids that are well-renowned for being two things; physically enhanced by their force sensitivity, and their rarity. They're also well-reputed as terrifying menaces in combat, and can exert feats beyond most other races in physicality. Though, as a martially-inclined race, they are often seen with battle armor and serving as mercenaries. They also tend to be coming in varying fur colors and eye colors, with white fur and yellow eyes being the rarest colors respectively as recessive genes, denoting the former royalty of the planet.
- Breathes: Type 1 and Type 2 with ease, Type 3 and Type 4 with difficulty (and eventual death if forced into it without protection). Vacuum of space can be tolerated for a short jaunt, usually several hours.
- Average Height of Adults: 2.286m to 2.45m.
- Average Length of Adults: 351.988kg to 432.727kg.
- Skin color: Brown, black, white (from most common to rare).
- Hair color: Brown, creme, golden, white (from most common to rarest)
- Distinctions: The main differences between male and females, aside from females being on the smaller end, is that of a lack of a mane for female individuals. Additionally, they are lion-like in appearance, with fur naturally darkening as they age (with white fur and skin being the only exception). They also tend to be massive, bulky, and lack a tail.
- Races: [ Not subspecies, distinct cultural or physical races (aka, just like human races). ]
- Force Sensitivity: All All members of the Nymaen species are force-sensitive, albeit possess extremely difficult to learning any force powers beyond physically-oriented or instinctual powers. Because of this, they struggle as force-users heavily.
- Physically powerful, their physicality is beyond most species when it comes to even individuals such as Felacatians. Able to shred vehicular-grade durasteel open with their claws and pierce through even a Mandalorian's beskar (in the more thinner regions of it) with a thrust of their retractable claws, their punches feel like a warhammer striking into an unarmored individual. Their strength can lift up to ten times their body-weight, and crush armored helmets with ease in their grasp. For speed and agility, they are capable as running as fast as a low-end landspeeder (roughly 98 kmph on all fours, and about 49 kmph on both feet), and their agility is capable of dodging incoming blaster bolts with ease. Their reflexes, likewise, due to their force-sensitivity (which also enhances their other physical characteristics to those mentioned levels), are capable of dodging incoming weapon attacks with preternatural speed and ease. Their durability, likewise, is remarkable - dense musculature and hide, in addition to reinforcement via the force instinctually, makes them able to survive glancing lightsaber strikes as if they're minor cuts (as well as catch and hold a lightsaber for several minutes), and it takes much physical trauma to put one down (as well as to stun them). Their anatomy, likewise, is chock-filled with redundant organ systems - they have three hearts, four lungs, and several major nerve clusters in addition to their brain, meaning the only way to put them down is to destroy two of their hearts or to directly destroy the brain. Essentially, a physical unit.
- Instinctual force powers include force punch, kick, speed, jump, battle precognition (instinctual, not trained) and instinctual astrogation. They are damn good at using these powers... at the cost of other powers.
- Enhanced and improved senses include natural night vision, as well as a very strong, keen sense of smell, hearing, and vision acquity. Taste and touch, likewise, are enhanced. Sometimes to disconcerting levels.
- Can survive harsh environments with ease, and can survive for several hours in Type Three and Type Four atmospheres - same with the vacuum of space. They are also heavily resistant to elemental, sonic, and radiation based attacks, with ion weaponry and stun weaponry barely phasing them at all.
- Retractable claws on both hands and feet, as well as able to utilize their strong jaws and sharp teeth, which regrows frequently. Their regenerative abilities means with bacta treatment, damaged organs, organ transplants, or even lost limbs/organ systems can regrow gradually, slowly, and with enough treatments. They still do scar, however. They also possess extremely intensive reservoirs of stamina, and are physically hale; their constitution is legendary, with natural resistance to poison and disease. They have also an intensive resistance to mental attacks and such via the Force.
- Force sever or force abilities designed to target force sensitives are far, far more effective against them, and can make them extremely weak, lethargic, and ultimately kill them outright given enough time. Wounds in the Force or Force-Dead Species can leave them nauseous and ill and has a similar property to the priorly-mentioned force abilities.
- Sensory overload is possible and somewhat easier to achieve due to their enhanced senses, and can overwhelm them.
- They may be highly resistant to most forms of attack, but they are not infallible or invincible; a tank round is still going to hurt if not outright kill one due to the sheer power behind it, same with repeated blasts of even smaller-grade, if still strong, weaponry. The trouble is pinning them down - but with enough weight, volume, and mass of fire, that rarely proves a problem.
- They tend to have problems with most suits of armor and cockpits, thus requiring retrofitted equipment or hand-made equipment to fit them. Same with weapons, armor, starships that are snubcraft, etc.
- They can still suffocate and need oxygen to breath, so they cannot last in space, etc etc, for lengthy periods of time.
- They cannot learn force powers as easily, and because of this, they cannot readily defend against more advanced force powers unless if they train extensively in the Force.
- Diet: Omnivorous leaning carnivore (obligate carnivores). Their diet often largely consists of meat supplemented by flora such as fruits and vegetables. Moreover, they tend to exhibit a tendency towards
- Communication: Nymaeni is a form of felinoid-like language, with communication through purring, body language, and scent. They
- Technology level: Primitive, roughly lagging heavily behind galactic standards, though their armorsmiths and weapon forgers are considered some of the best amongst the galaxy.
- Religion/Beliefs: Generally tend to a materialistic, worldly culture - they are not a religious people, and do not venerate gods or spirits. They believe in physical capabilities, not spiritual.
- General behavior: Originally, they were best described as an insular, though not unfriendly, culture of armor smiths, warriors, and weapon forgers. Their resource-rich homeworld made for unique cultural attitudes, as well as a primitive style of existence. However, the current trend of the species tends to be insular and rare - many of them often times preferring to stay reluctantly away from galactic civilizations, trading only with other prides and fringe worlds to avoid detection. They are very loyal to their pride, of course.
Born upon the world of Heraklios, the origins of the Nymaen are shrouded in myth and secrecy. Some say they were genetically-engineered by an Unknown Regions species; others say they naturally evolved in the dense gravity and force nexus rich homeworld they had, and yet stranger myths imply they are sithspawn. Of these, the last one is vehemently denied even as they border close to the Stygian Caldera. What is known, however, is that the Nymaen were a primitive species when around 682 ABY, they made contact with the wider galaxy. And of course, corporate exploitation followed. Eventually, around 775 ABY, and many destructive civil wars later, the planet was torn apart by a seismic weapon that also went with the planet. Of these, thirty thousand Nymaen fled, including the royal family. Split into smaller prides, the last hope of the Nymaen guttered when the civil war in the void occurred. Now, only fifteen thousand remain - and they are slowly on the decline as they die out. Now a race facing extinction, there is no doubt they will fade away to the veneer of fringe memory...
Well, only one individual remains; the remainder were butchered by the Sith Order, and as a consequence, that lone individual holds hatred to them...
