I love that the whole breastfeeding joke netted me negative interspecies biology :P
It certainly makes for memorable play :D

Well, let's say you're going away from Earth on huge spaceship and suddenly shit goes wrong and you have Super Mutants. Social Experiments prepared them for this.

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.

((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.

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.

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

Again, OP? No? You tell me.

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 :P

7/10 Has much more memorable sigs but casts them to the realm of sigtexts.

Indeed, I do this.
