Givin

Givin
The Givin are the native species of the Yag’dhul star system. They have humanoid frames, but they have no external organs in their body at all, and are very thin but very resilient. Even their eyes are encased in a dark material and their skin is like an exoskeleton. This enables them to work in the vacuum of space without any need for special equipment. Other species suggest that they have a skeletal appearance, and they are considered to have a most unseemly appearance. Givin are natural starship engineers as a result of their physiology. They can exist in places most other species wouldn’t dare go.

Personality: Givin are industrious, logical, and mathematically inclined. They often greet others with a math equation, discovering quickly if this creature can think in their geometric fashion. They can be haughty at times, even arrogant, when around those they see as weak minded. They don’t deal well with emotional beings, whom they find distasteful when expressing any feelings.

Physical Description: Givin have an exoskeleton of organic and skeletal material that makes them immune to the effects of space. They appear ghastly to many, with their appearance being described as skeletal or dead-like. Having hard to see eyes inside of deep sockets makes them even more disturbing, since it’s harder to read their body language. They have long fingers, and spindly bodies they usually hide beneath robes.

Homeworld: Yag’dhul, a barren world at the crossroads of several major hyperlanes.
