The Purge

"This better not be the Purge. I dealt with their crap once." "The what?" "Robotic space centipedes." Roent to Lumina
The Purge are a massive centipede-like race that attempt to be the top of the food chain within the universes they exist in. They do not use magic at all and would rather brute force their attacks. They are masters at strategy and it is almost impossible to out-strategize one.
== Appearance ==
Purge are very bug-like in appearance, having four green eyes and multiple segments each with a pair of legs. Their heads bear massive horns mostly used for intimidation, however they have no mouth. Their backs are a metallic gray-black, and their bellies are a loose chainmail of dark pastel purple scales. Their tail splits off into three burning-hot filaments. Many Purge are physically modified, having their signature purple metal replacing most of their limbs. However, they may wear it as armor permanently attached to themselves.
== Biology ==
Purge do not eat organic materials, and instead consume raw objects by opening holes within their bellies. They do not have any respiration organs because of this. Their bodies are extremely hot, and the very inside is about 2400F. This is primarily used to melt anything they eat so it can be easily transported, as they do not have stomach acid.
The tips of their legs are able to split apart into structures that resemble human hands, however usually only their front few legs are able to do this. Opposable thumbs are considered the most powerful biological tool within races, and Purge are no exception.
Purge also biologically have wings, however they eventually become useless as they become larger and are clipped off once they become too heavy to become airborne. About every universal year, on average a Purge will gain two segments and will continue to grow until they die. However, they may grow additional segments depending on how much material is rationed to them. This is why the Purge leader, Jvkshl, has about 40000 segments. Purge do not ever die of old age.
== Origin ==
Purge directly originate from Jvkshl, who was a terrible mutation from a now-extinct race. He is able to sprout off baby Purge by chipping off parts of his carapace, which is why Purge are so widespread across the universe in such large amounts.
== Culture ==
Purge are extremely barbaric and are almost always fighting, either against other races or practicing against themselves. They are not very creative, but make up for it in being amazing in strategy and math. They also speak their own language, and have never been known to speak English.
Due to them being experts in technology, Purge have incorporated this into their modern culture by respecting those who have more robotic limbs. They eventually want to become fully robotic, but have never been successful. This is very similar to the Winterfel.
== Appearances ==
Purge have never appeared within a roleplay, but have been mentioned in Andromeda.
== Relationship with Starbeings ==
The Purge have an interesting relationship with Starbeings, as they are the only ones they will bow down to and accept defeat. This is because they are very aware that Starbeings are the most powerful race within the universes they exist in, and highly respect that. They also have tried many times to make their body become fully robotic, and have never been successful. Although Starbeings were never biological, Purge envy the fact they are fully robotic.
== Trivia ==
* Their tails are actually their feces.
* The Purge were originally going to be canonically nameless and be geometric humanoids.
* Purge architecture is based on the Pyramids in Destiny 2, and it was originally going to be mostly black. However, this idea was scrapped due to how it is strange to have your house be the same color as your skin everywhere.
