Vorxan

Vorxan resemble humans in terms of basic skeletal structure with five fingers on each hand and legs that are relatively straight. Vorxan are classified as ‘Ossisae’ meaning they have a bony exoskeleton. A typical Vorxan has a blue to purple complexion, though a teal complexion is possible albeit seemingly rare. Many Vorxan have a bony structure above their eyes that resemble the eyebrows that humans have.

Vorxan also have another bony structure on their head, something like a crown. This is to protect the vital brain parts. The Vorxan have five brains. Two are for the regulation of vital functions such as breathing,balance, coordination and movement; these are proctected by the crown. One for emotion, one for senses and one for thinking, memory, calculations and language.

The Vorxan homeworld, has a metal-poor core, generating a weak magnetic field and allowing more solar radiation into the atmosphere. To deal with this, most forms of life on Xochipilli evolved some form of metallic "exoskeleton" to protect themselves. Vorxan have these metallic plates on many parts of their body, but they mostly have very think skin that makes them less susceptible to long-term, low-level radiation exposure, but they do not possess any sort of "natural armor". A Vorxan's thick skin does not stop projectiles and directed energy bolts. Vorxan blood has a dark blue colouration.

Although life on Xochipilli is carbon-based and oxygen-breathing, it is built on dextro-amino acids. This places the Vorxans in a distinct minority on the galactic stage. The food of humans, or most other species (who evolved in levo-amino acid-based biospheres), will at best pass through their systems without providing any nutrition. At worst, it will trigger an allergic reaction that can be fatal if not immediately treated.
