Namekian (5e Race)

## **Namekian**

“Sometimes, we have to look beyond what we want and do what’s best.”

– The Great Demon King Piccolo

### **Physical Description**

Namekians are humanoids with slug-like characteristics, including antennae, light green skin, and pink patches appearing throughout their bodies. Elderly Namekians have darker green skin and less prominent pink patches (these appear to become dull-orange as the Namekian advances in age), pointy ears, and red rings, in which they have three red conjoined rings on their ankles and wrists, making them look like they have ankle bands and wristbands.

### **History**

At some point in the not-too-distant past, the Nameks were a well-known spacefaring race; this is determinate as the Saiyans who first arrived on Earth immediately recognized Piccolo as a Namek. This would have been an extremely unlikely circumstance if their species were only a primitive farming culture on a single planet. Other evidence of this is a small space capsule (with Namek-language voice recognition) that was sent to Earth with one of two Namekians prior to the genocide that was soon to occur. One generation ago in Namek's past, a great tempest nearly eradicated the entire Namekian race, leaving only two survivors. Of these two, one remained on Namek to slowly repopulate the planet, while the other was sent to safety on Earth. Within one generation, just over 100 Namekians existed on their homeworld; at the same time, only a few existed on Earth.

### **Society**

Namekians are inherently a peaceful lot. Many are very capable warriors while other great mages. They tend to live in areas with vast water sources as they have no need for other sustenance.

### **Relathionships**

Many believe Namekians to be a weak race due to their peaceful nature. Many attempt to take advantage of them, however many Namekians are more capable than most know due to many of their hidden techniques.
