The Gen'Dai benefit from extremely long life spans. Accounts of Gen'Dai living to be over four thousand standard years old are common. They are a hardy species, thanks in part to their unique physiology. The Gen'Oai have no centralized vital organs, and their elaborate nervous and vascular systems allow them to act quickly and withstand wounds that would kill nearly any other creature. The Gen'Dai are intergalactic nomads, constantly traversing the galaxy. The location of their home world has been lost to time. Even those Gen'Oai who claim to have lived for several millennia cannot, or do not. reveal its location.

**Personality:** With few exceptions, the Gen'Oai are an introspective and peaceful species. Because of their extraordinarily long life spans, they are slow in their decision-making processes.

They consider the long-term consequences of their actions, and do not jump to conclusions with out adequate evidence.

As they age, they begin to lose their grip on their mental faculties. Their personalities become increasingly disjointed, and their penchant for introspection causes them to suffer from depression, psychosis, and other forms of insanity.

**Physical Oescription:** Superficially, Gen'Oai appear to be a humanoid species. Their skin color ranges from light red to deep purple, and their eyes vary from bright red to dull yellow-orange. A mandiblelike protrusion extends from each of their cheekbones. The Gen'Oai are large, typically standing over two meters tall.

**home world:** Unknown.

**Languages:** Gen'Oai.

**Example Names:** Ourge, Grozm, Kranth, Lu'urn .

**Adventurers:** The most common character class for Gen'Dai heroes is the scout, followed by the soldier. A few Gen'Oai use their veritable immortality to amass wealth and influence as nobles, and only a handful become scoundrels. No Gen'Oai are known to have become Jedi.

• • Hybernation: A Gen’dai can enter a state similar to a hibernation trance, and can remain in the trance indefinitely. A Gen'Dai in such a state ceases to age, and needs no food, water, or air until it emerges from hibernation.

• • Mental Instability: As they age, Gen'Oai begin to lose touch with reality. For each age category a Gen'Oai advances past Adult, it takes an additional loss of - 1 Wisdom. Gen'Dai characte rs never gain increased Wisdom due to age, though they can increase th eir Wisdom scores as thei r character level increases.

• • Resilient Physiology: Because of their unique physio logy, the Gen'Oai can shrug off the effect of wounds that wou ld be fatal to any other species. Because of this, a Gen'Dai's damage threshold is doubled after adding bonuses for feats or size when determi ning whether the Gen'Oai is ki lled by an attack (but not for any other purpose) .

• • Automatic Languages: Basic and Gen'Oai.
