Archaeloid

Are you the strong, silent type? Do friends consider you a gentle giant? Do you identify with mollusks? Archaeloids are newcomers to the galactic playing field, originating from a somewhat isolated region of space. They share some physical characteristics with both the nautilus and the lobster, and can be formidable warriors. Though they prefer discretion, their skin reflects their emotions through color, making them very poor liars.

 

 

Culture

Archaeloid society is quite possibly the closest-knit of all the races. Archaeloids cannot hide their emotions from each other because their feelings are visually represented through skin coloration. As a result, Archaeloids are very sensitive to each others’ feelings–emotions rarely escalate because they are dealt with early on. As a native aquatic species, water is an important element in Archaeloid daily life, and any real-estate owned by Archaeloids will feature many pools and fountains, and will generally have a very humid atmosphere. The Archaeloid home planet is a world that is almost ninety-percent covered in water, and Archaeloid cities lie beneath the waves, causing them to develop reclusive tendencies. The Archaeloids were the last to join the Inter-stellar Union when they were finally discovered by the other races, and as a result, have always felt like outsiders. Though they are trying to establish a greater presence among the other races, the Archaeloids often carry themselves very humbly, and seem shy and unsure of themselves as latecomers to the scene.
