[QUOTE="Lylandra, post: 7135400, member: 6816692"] Uh, nice! Here's a short description for a race I developed a few years ago for our Sci-fi Campaign: [B]Ashmodai[/B] The Ashmodai are a medium-sized humanoid race with brown skin and either light (ashifin) or dark (sinofin) markings on their bodies. They grow three horns on their upper forehead, one big central horn and two smaller ones on the side. They also grow small tentacle-like fins which point upwards from their jawline. They take great pride in their horns and many decorate their central horn with rings, paintings or carvings. Ashmodai are very intelligent and love playing all sorts of (tactical, psychological, mathematical) games. They have a natural knack for psionics which they describe as "extension of their minds". Thei bodies are thin and agile, but not really sturdy. They are curious and love trying out all sorts of occupations or activities until they find one they really like (then they pursue that, "master" it and find something new to learn). Ashmodai are an androgynous race, and they can switch between their "male" and "female" form over a course of three weeks. Switching does not change much in terms of visible physiology ("females" have bigger secondary horns), but they tend to behave differently: "males" tend to be lively, cheerful and are great in making friends. They love bright colours and are generally easy-going, emotional and spontaneous. "females" prefer darker hues and tend to act stern and serious. They can be pretty fixated on their aims and on their selves. As they prefer thinking over spontanbeous emotional reactions, they are less vulnerable to trauma, but also much slower to act. Ashmodai seldom stay with one partner over their life span. Instead, they always love trying something new, especially when they can do it in their other form. [/QUOTE]
