ROUND 2: PHYSICAL​

​

Average height of adults: [In meters]​

Average weight of adults: [In kilograms]​

Skin color: [List commons skin colors]​

Hair color: [List common hair colors, if any]​

Distinctions: [Unique physical traits that define what they are]​

 

[Valik]

Average height of adults: 1 square meter, can be adjusted based on width​

Average weight of adults: 600kg​

Skin color: Bright Red​

Hair color: None​

Distinctions: The Daellite is a liquid mineral-based being that operates under -extremely high- temperatures. In essence they are molten rock given sentience. Due to this they often 'swim' in the Lava of Mustafar to travel, and have extreme difficulty traveling elsewhere. Suits have been attempted to be made that can contain them and give them a more structured form to allow hyperspace travel, but thusfar none have had widespread success. ​

 

[Mrrew]

Average height of adults: 5m
Average weight of adults: 489
Skin color: Jet black
Hair color: None
Distinctions: The Daelites are a massive race of giants, known for their thick skin. Engineered by the Yuuzan Vong, Daelites are hulking humanoid creatures with uneven proportions that make them highly resemble a misshapen monster made of spare parts. Daelites have amazingly thick skin which secretes a slimy subtance that is highly resistent to energy, as well as extreme heat. Due to this, Daelites are able to literally swim in the lava oceans of Mustafar- much like a sith leviathon.

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

[SIZE=18pt]Average height of adults: [/SIZE][SIZE=18pt]2 metres if standing up straight. Because of their slightly hunched appearance, they appear to be only 1.5 metres.[/SIZE]​

[SIZE=18pt]Average weight of adults:[/SIZE][SIZE=18pt] 125kg. Daelites are extremely heavily built and tough, though rather slow and cumbersome.[/SIZE]​

[SIZE=18pt]Skin color:[/SIZE][SIZE=18pt] Black and shades of grey for their back and sides, pale grey and reddish on the belly. This helps them blend in to the blasted volcanic wastes of Mustafar.[/SIZE]​

[SIZE=18pt]Hair color:[/SIZE][SIZE=18pt] N/A[/SIZE]​

[SIZE=18pt]Distinctions:[/SIZE][SIZE=18pt] The Daelites are powerfully built creatures with formidable scales and hide to protect themselves from the heat and cinders. For this reason they tend to hunch over to prevent minimal exposure of their weaker bellies. The scales and hide provide the equivalent of armour value 4-6, depending on the age of the individual.[/SIZE]​

[SIZE=18pt]The Daelites possess powerful jaws and crushing teeth made of an extremely dense, hard variation of human teeth. These teeth are continually replaced like a shark on Earth as the diet of mineral ores and other tough creatures eventually grinds even their teeth down.[/SIZE]​

[SIZE=18pt]Evolution on Mustafar has forced the Daelites to be extremely strong climbers, with long talons able to scale the ash mounds and volcanic rock formations of their home.[/SIZE]​

[SIZE=18pt]Daelites have vestigial tails, but these have little use for the creatures. It is possible that they once were used for balance or other means but have fallen out of use.[/SIZE]​

[SIZE=18pt]Growing up on Mustafar has granted the Daelites with extreme resistance to heat, especially on their backs, feet and hands. Since cold is almost unknown to them, they naturally would suffer badly from it.[/SIZE]​

[SIZE=18pt]The final feature of note is that the Daelites, despite their somewhat reptilian appearance, aren’t. They are actually a form of silicon based (as opposed to carbon based like humans) life, meaning they can survive without water or traditional organic nutrition. Rather they survive entirely on rock ores in the ash plains and eruption fields of the planet.[/SIZE]​

 

[Tefka]

Average height of adults: 3.5 Meters

Average weight of adults: 7,000 kg

Skin color: Vibrant Green, Vibrant Blue, Yellow, Black

Hair color: Purple, Orange, Green

Distinctions:

Six Limbs. Two gigantic pincers, similar to that of a crabs, descend from it's shoulders and are often used as legs or for balancing. Two smaller arms, each equipped with seven digits, descend from the bottom of the Daelite's pectoral muscles. The Daelite's main method of transportation is it's one leg and enormous tail.

Armor Plated Crab Shell. Daelites are coated from head to toe, similar to how most crustaceans are armored.

Zero Eyes. Due to the extreme temperatures this race experiences, the Daelite possesses no eyes.

A-L-I-E-N. While the Daelite's mouth opens normal like a human's, from it can descend an elephant-like trunk capable of functioning as a seventh arm or a freaky way to capture prey.

It also makes as a good throwing arm.

 

[Amarant]

• Average height of adults: 2-2.5 Meters
• Average weight of adults: 200-250 kg
• Skin color: Black, mildly reflective and shiny, like raw obsidian or crystal glass.
• Hair color: An ashen grey, almost velvety fur grows in streaks on their otherwise glassy hides.
• Distinctions:

​

Tetrapodal, silicon-based life forms, Daelites resemble crawling spires of hewn obsidian. They migrate freely across the volcanic landscape of Msutafar, thriving off of of liquid sulfur, their primary food stuff. They absorb this through tubes in their feet by bathing in pools of it that form naturally around "springs" of lava where the air pressure is correctly formed, and because of this, tend to have very specific migratory patterns. Their main form of interaction with the environment is performed with two "upper" limbs, shaped similar to the lower ones, but with manipulative digits dividing from them, typically in the number of four or five.

While they are capable of speech, they have an odd, almost chiming tone to their voices, a byproduct of their laryngical assembly being made primarily of crystalised silica. Their voices have been described by xenolinguists and musicans alike as "beautiful, and somewhat unnerving, given the sheer power of their voices." Harlong Kreye, lead singer of the Marjun Kraza Death Revue, has described it as "so fething metal it'll weigh down the lava."


Daelites have no eyes, relying on internal photoelectric minerals in their cellular structure, hence their obsidian hue. Their entire body is one large compound retina of sorts. They are not believed to have an olfactory sense, as they have no genuine understanding of the word "smell" in either Yuuzhan Vong or Basic, despite their speaking of both quite well. They do seem to have taste, however, commenting on the "flavor" of various types of amorphous sulfur springs.
