The Novakids

The Novakids are a very mysterious race in the Rofl Way Galaxy. They do not have a homeworld (Officially, however they claimed Mercury as a form of home planet, being the only race to be able to populate it), and no traceable point of origin. All that is known about them is that they are usually formed in the fusion furnaces of supernovas, which shoots them out across the galaxy. The sheer force of the blast causes them to take an almost humanoid appearance, and they usually end up crashing down onto planets all over the galaxy. Less fortunate Novakids usually get stranded on asteroids and such, though they can be easily found.
Novakids are unlike any other lifeform in the galaxy; their bodily structure is vastly different to any organic or synthetic, and are actually considered a gas-based lifeform, not organic or synthetic. What keeps the Novakids alive are the brands on their faces. These brands are charged with insane amounts of energy, generating very tough plasma "shells", which stops the gases that form the Novakid from leaking out. Should a Novakid lose all of their vital gases, the brand's energy vents into the fabrics of spacetime, leaving behind the twisted metal symbol and a slight warping of light around the Novakid's final resting place. Though there is different colours of Novakid as result of their brands shell generation, the colour difference is aesthetic, and doesn't mean anything in Novakid society.
Novakids are some of the most intelligent beings in the galaxy, though they never technologically get ahead due to short memories and attention spans. This has also caused trouble with diplomatic relations between other races and the Novakids, as they cannot grasp the concepts of interracial social interactions, even causing a Zefani diplomat great confusion when a Novakid asked him if his God was real and genuinly meant it. Despite their attention span, the Novakids are not stupid, and are incredibly efficient in battle, utilizing a variety of weapons to fight hostile forces with.
Though the natural way a Novakid is created is by being forged in a supernova, many have attempted "conversions", the act of turning a member of another race into a Novakid. Though this practice is almost never seen by anyone except those who have become Novakids, these conversions are recorded by the Novakid government on Mercury. Though forged in a different way to most, converted Novakids are not looked down upon or treated as second-class citizens by the original Novakids. This is mainly because only 30% of people who are deemed worthy of conversion survive. One particular survivee is ex-Russian leader Pieboy6000, who returned to Earth 2 as a Novakid after leaving the planet on April 30th 2013, having volunteered and being accepted for conversion by a small band of Novakid government officials.
