I love that the whole breastfeeding joke netted me negative interspecies biology

It certainly makes for memorable play

That it does.
Lets see: A weirdo with too many arms, a fungus, a slave waiter, and slime. Bay12!

-NOPE TOO OP-

[Dansmithers]

GREAT QUEENSPAWN, THAT'S ODD!

[Ozarck]

Yeah, that's a bit much.

Please see what you can do to bring it down a little. I have a few ideas on how to modify this to work while retaining most of what you wanted. PM me about what features you really want to keep, and we'll work it out.

I could envision this species and the Micronoid Aggregate at odds pretty easily.

Proudly presenting "Jones":

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Alien Species: The Xenomorph Humans are a loud, rude group of violent apes from a backwater planet in the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Milky Way. They're very good at killing things.

Alien Individual: His full name is Ryske Tron Gunnsteel Snowflake Jones the IIIIst. He introduces himself as "Jones". It's easier to explain. He was born and raised in the ghettos of Earth. He fell in with a gang and ended up in an off-world prison colony. After 10 years there, he turned his life around. He's currently a Security Officer on the station.

PM negotiating in progress.

I KNEW there was something I forgot to be explicit about.

Edit - take a look at your alien. Tell me if it meets your approval

((This almost makes me want to try to learn Bay13 again.))
Alien species: Zlork. A race made up of many tiny flying lifeforms controlled by a core in the middle of their body. They generally take a humanoid form. Each miniature lifeform can be farther than one inch of another, or three feet from the core. doing so will cause the creature to no longer be told to breathe, and will die quickly. The Zlork are quite intelligent, and tend to be mechanics.
Alien individual: 216 years (Midlife for a Zlork), and Head of Mechanics. He was exiled by the Zlork for setting fire to the Queen's Palace. As for a name, he doesn't really have a name. Many just call him "That one bee guy" due to his composition and the noise said composition makes. He quite likes setting fire to, blowing up, and generally absolutely destroying anything he can. Don't leave him with your children, unless you want to suddenly stop being a parent.

I just realized i am going t need a chart or something to keep track of all the roll modifiers. Why does all the bad stuff always happen to me? Oh well, I guess I can always take it out on my players.

[Slothman400]

To these creatures, a human would be completely alien. No telepathy, unlike most of the others. Not a slug or a centipede. No hard outer shell. A human would be the most unique alien here.

If you disagree, I'll alter my character to fit your rules.

[Ozarck]

I made a few modifications, based entirely on what you presented I posted it to see what you thought  Feel free to resubmit. we still have about eighteen hours before I start the game.

[Slothman400]

Here's a new character:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Alien Species: The Squll are an intergalactic warrior-race. They're humanoid in shape and general appearance. They're trained from infancy to kill for the glory of Squll. The people of Squll could conquer the galaxy, but their ideology makes expansion slow. They sacrifice weak children to their ghastly gods, leaving their population's growth rate quite low. Many men from Squll find their way into mercenary groups or police forces on strange planets.

Alien Individual: Alexander was a promising young warrior, until he had to leave home under mysterious circumstances. He quickly joined an alien police force. He has a long history of violent, unorthodox methods. He recently joined the station as a Security Officer.

Is this one alien enough?

[Xantalos]

So as my last idea was far too overpowered and not really suited for this game, allow me to try again:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Alien Species: The Nalkvar are a rather unique species of plant-like organisms. The central body of a Nalkvar is somewhat like a pod of some sort, a sphere around 10-15 feet wide covered with sensory organs and with roots growing out of it. These roots spread all throughout the surrounding area, gathering nutrients. However, due to sparse nutrients in their home planet's soil, they have evolved a way of mobility, so to speak. Near the main growth of the Nalkvar are several podlike structures, grown from the Nalkvar. Within them are the comatose forms of their means of interaction with the outside world, the Free Bound. They have four legs in a square pattern with an insecticide torso mounted on top. This torso possesses four arms and highly developed sensory organs, including at least four pairs of eyes. These Free Bound are given instructions through neural fibers linked into their spinal system while still in the pods, and then released from the pods to perform their assigned task - ostensibly to kill animals to bring their corpses to the central growth, but they can be used for a variety of tasks. The Free Bound do have their own minds, but they are relatively simple, as their personality is reset every time they return to the pods, which is usually included in their instructions. They can also be used to talk to the Nalkvar itself through the Nalkvar giving it instructions for words through the neural fibers; the Free Bound essentially serve as their avatars in the world. As a Nalkvar ages, more pods are grown and more Free Bound are produced.

Alien Individual: Thorimus, a young Nalkvar, was born no more than 200 years before his transfer onto the station - older Nalkvar are near impossible to move due to their dense roots - making him only 213 years old - young for his species. He is knowledgable, friendly, and curious, making his post as Station Librarian/Data Correlator appropriate to him.

-Data Correlator - essentially a librarian/customer service/guide type of thing-

Again, OP? No? You tell me.

[BFEL]

Darn, I wanna see what was so OP about Xantalos' original idea

Also realizing I am pretty much gonna be a comedic relief character, which is fine, but still -2 when alone??? Eh it shall be quite entertaining anyway
