Playable Race- Irken
Male:
Female:
Height: 3'3"-5'6" (Not counting the Tallest)
Weight: 80-100 Earth lbs
Lifespan: 70 Irken years, though on Earth this would come out to be around 700 years old.
Background: The Irken hail from the planet of Irk, run by their leaders the Tallest. As their leaders' names suggest, the Irken are a highly hierarchal society judged entirely on height. They are an indulgent and violent race, preferring snacking to healthy food (though there is rarely a fat irken) and consist almost entirely of megalomaniacs. They aren't particularly smart, but they have a tenacious attitude to rival the most rabid of bears. Their numerous plans to conquer the entire universe seem to have failed so far, though they have several dozen planets under their control, often for a sole arbitrary purpose such as Foodcourtia. They are known to either enslave or drive to extinction most foreign races they encounter.
They have no individual organs to denote to smell and hearing, but their antennae complete both functions quite well. It is presumed that females have better senses of smell and hearing, as their antennae are longer and end in a tightly spiralled curl.
However, they are very technologically dependent. Irken are born in incubation tubes, which are broken when the smeet is fully developed. They are in a sense born dead, as they require the installation of a mechanical pak directly into their spines to function as well as an electrical jumpstart to bring them to life. Removal of the pak results in the death of an Irken in only around ten minutes. The pak usually helps them get over obstacles taller than themselves with the use of six mechanical spider legs that come out from the sides of the pak. The pak is also known for encoding the Irken's role in society as well as reviving or healing them when injured or unconscious.
Irken have no known form of sexual contact in terms of procreation. The Control-Brain, which monitors the birth and governing of the Irken in the Tallest's absence on campaigns, has designated that all sexual organs are tucked up inside the irken's body for its own protection. This gives the outward appearance of a small slit starting at the lower stomach, while the normal organs are retained in a vaginal-like structure. However, irken are still capable of having sex for pleasure, as their indulgent nature doesn't allow them to stay completely celibate.
Snacking is a known psychological comfort to the irken, and it tends to escalate when they are upset or in a dire situation. They are never seen sitting down and eating meals, preferring to eat small quantities of something tasty out of a package. This probably has arisen from a need to eat while constantly on the go.
Irken have extraordinary allergic reactions to the most common of earth substances. Water or mostly-water based liquids seem to act as an acid, beans cause a massive brain hemorrage, and meat fuses to their skin and causes intense burns.
