Mhijan

The Mhijan (IAUSI: MHI0SFL032223999-H) are a race of tripeds with personalities that are surprisingly like those of humans. They possess three legs and two tentacle arms. The Mhijan are only capable of breathing fluorine gas, and must wear masks when off their homeworld. Those masks are usually installed within their helmets, which have a unique smooth-surface design. Mhijan roles in the Hierarchy often conflicts with that of the Rovoen (they had the positions occupied by Rovoen before their entrance into the Hierarchy), leading to minor problems with the two species.
==History==
The Mhijan was a species of warring families before the Hierarchy found them. They were, and still are a highly competitive species, and the Hierarchy could not find a way to unite the species. Desperately needing new allies in the galaxy they fled to, the Elders mind-controlled the leaders of each family and forced the Mhijan to join the Hierarchy. They also eased the competition between families, though it has not been eliminated. Instead of all-out war, families competed with each other for fame.
==Physiology==
Mhijan stand on three legs, one of few species to do so. They do not possess arms, instead having two tentacles. Their skin are almost always grey, though shades can vary. There are brown and black-skinned Mhijan, but they are highly rare and are the result of genetic mutations. Their neck has a unique structure which allows them to turn their head further back than humans.
The internal organs of a Mhijan are barely comparable to that of any known species. Only the digestive and musculoskeletal system are identifiable. Mhijan reproduce very similarily to Rovoen; they do not have genders but still reproduce sexually.
==Society==
Mhijan have kept surprisingly much of their culture after assimilation into the Hierarchy. Mhijan are organized into families, and everyone in a family is usually blood related in some way. Adoption is unheard of in Mhijan society. Each family holds a degree of power depending on their fame. Fame is earned when a Mhijan honors his family by being successful in various things, including battles and military careers. Mhijan wear their family symbol on the chest area of their armor, proudly showing them in battle.
Mhijan armor are typically very fancy due to their role as military officers and leaders, and the high ranking Mhijan often wear armor that is more elegant than practical. The longer the shoulderpads of a Mhijan, the greater rank he is.
