Partial Exoskeleton (hard hitting and durable). Dense nerve pocket in Thermoregulatory area. [u][b]Attributes:[/b][/u] Yul are mysterious and many cultures harbor superstitions towards them, in fear and awe alike, little is known so assumptions are made. [color=39b54a]+Intimidation and deception bonus. +Charismatic influence bonus for races with intelligence of four or less.[/color] Yul blood is biologically sequenced to maintain liquid structure and fluidity while inside the Yul anatomy and circulation system. Once it exits the body it becomes gaseous and in most cases toxic for other organisms. [color=39b54a]+When Yul are injured, the atmosphere around them becomes toxic. Causes nausea and internal damage to creatures with a constitution of three or less. Damages most biological structures (eyes and skin) over time, no matter the constitution score. [/color] The muscular tail of the Yul, usually curled up beside the spine for protection, can be used to balance during many tasks and activity. [color=39b54a]+Bonus to balance during acrobatic and athletic activities. +Reduction in recoil when the tail can be deployed as a counterbalance. [/color] Yul have evolved to scale uneven terrain and rocky environments, as such they cannot swim. [color=0072bc]-Disadvantaged in aquatic environments.[/color] Concussive impacts such as grenades and direct connection with the upper forehead disorient Yul completely as their frontal lobe is surrounded by a semi-flexible cartilage that can pressure the brain if shifted too suddenly. [color=0072bc]-Weakness to concussive attacks. [/color] Yul, while intelligent, do not express themselves through speech or written language, thus have no verbal capability and a very limited capacity for writing/reading. [color=0072bc]- Disadvantage when reading languages.[/color] [color=0072bc]- Unable to speak.[/color] [color=39b54a]+ Can communicate through atmospheric chemicals and limited interspecies-telepathy with lifeforms from their home worlds.[/color] [b][u]Racial Stats:[/u][/b] [color=c4df9b]Intelligence:5[/color] [color=f26522]Health:3[/color] [color=39b54a]Dexterity:6[/color] [color=fff200]Strength:3[/color] [color=f26522]Natural armour:2[/color] [color=f26522]Constitution:2[/color] [b][u]Life expectancy:[/u][/b]78 years [/hider] Working on appearance and culture etc [b]EDIT:[/b] Flag (?) [hider=My Hider] [img]http://i.imgur.com/TQzUV6X.jpg[/img] [/hider] [/quote] There are alot of advantages here, the overall ideas are cool but all benefits need to be counterbalanced with a negative. No telepathy. Sorry. Aliens can't have telepathy, genetic engineering, augmented characteristics or any sort of powers. It's money and mash potatoes concept brother, to have telepathic mutes but it goes against the setting. If you want, motherfucking. I can take a snap and try to suggest some counter balances brother. I like the flag. The fact you got a flag is cool. I can see that becoming a political issue. You got a flag but the coalition is sort of plastered over it or its only ever used as a footnote in the coalition race log. Maybe, like. you're dudes are trying to be boost their racial identity and shit.
