Senjini

The Senjini are a humanoid species seen in the Crossfire Universe and are Introduced in the comic "Crossfire" a member species of the Galactic Union. They are a noble and strong race who are known to respect honorable warfare and battle but are not openly hostile simply honorable as warriors. They are a very culture strong people as very few of their kind have been known to go against the standards of their society and people and those who do are often seen as dishonorable among the rest of their kind. One of the crew members of the Crossfire, Tel'Hara is a member of this race. However, Tel'hara had a questionable war record and due to his surrendering to save the lives of his crew in place of fighting to the death as was considered an honorable path for a warrior he has long since lived as one of the dishonored in the eyes of most other Senjini. 
== Appearance ==
Senjini appear relatively similar to humans but their most notable qualities are their horn like appendages on their head. In place of hair a Sinjini has a series of extensions that curve back over their head and narrow to point in a somewhat slicked back shape. The exact make up or purpose of these is never explained but they seem to be flesh and muscle tissue not some form of hair or ivory like horns. Senjini also have skin that appears various shades of red or orange as well as certain markings or tattoo like designs along their forehead. It is unknown if these markings are actually a part of their skin pigment or some form of warrior tattoo. Most Senjini are very fit and muscular and tend to follow the honorable and noble warrior lifestyle. 
== History ==
The exact history of the Senjini Race is never specified or explains only that they are a very "Way of the Warrior" type of people and value Honor above most else. While most of them are seen as very noble warriors they are not a violent people more just a society that values strength and honorable combat and battle. Senjini culture considers interspecies relations rather taboo or at the very least very against the norm. While it is not entirely unheard of it is rare for a Senjini to marry or have a relationship with a member of another species. Senjini hold honor on the battlefield and in life in very high regards. Those who go against their ways of honorable and noble warriors are always dishonored and become somewhat of an apostate in Senjini society overall. Unlike Mayvern society and their diligence to favorable genetics the Senjini do not seem to have any genuine legal consequences for the dishonored. Where a Mayvern can face execution or arrest for breaking their laws on things like sterility or breeding a dishonored Senjini does not seem to face any major consequences other than shame. Senjini seem to feel that living as a dishonored warrior and the shame that accompanies that is punishment enough and the only real consequence is being looked down upon and somewhat extradited by the rest of Senjini society. Some Senjini in this status such as Tel'Hara tend to find their own lives out among other races and peoples but can still be rather devote to the Senjini culture. They can still fight and act in very honorable ways despite their seeming to be no form of cultural redemption in their society. Tel'Hara also practiced a high degree of celibacy for many years due to wanting to respect his culture even he was dishonored for not dying a warrior death, though he was later seen to become more open to beginning a relationship with the human Dr. Sadie Myers following their dealings with the Glumine. 
== Trivia ==
* The Senjini design seems inspired by the very similar Nautolin seen in the Star Wars Universe apart from their solid black eyes and green color. However not specific inspiration or relation has ever been mentioned.
