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.
