Reference sheet for an alien species' idea I've been toying with between comissions.
I'm pretty crappy designing stories (by pretty I mean very) but I like doing historical backgrounds.
Anyways, I taught up one for a couple of characters I'm interested in (I'll do another ref sheet of the other guy's species) but I'll post the whole deal as a separate text submission, to avoid cramming this comment.
In a nutshell, this race used to have a symbiotic relation with another one, both of which had fairly advanced intelligence and technology (interplanetary-travel level).
The text I'll submit later tells more or less the social evolution of this race from the crisis the loss of the original symbiotic partners generated, to the eventual solution they achieved and how they reached that path.
SPECIES INFO
The physical aspects of this species is pretty straightforward.
They tend to be pretty massive, ranging from stout to chubby, but hardly ever slender.
The horn-shaped things aren't really horns but hardening protrusions of skin (allways blunt, never sharp), which can appear pretty much on any part of the body, but tend to apprear on certain parts more (i.e. they CAN have them in the butt, but less than %0,1 of the population would).
The coloration varies from a yellowish orange to dark red and in some rare cases a bit purplish. It is regular in the whole body, save for a slight darkening in the areas which show protrusions.
The reproduction is a process associated with the symbiotic relationship, but due to the loss of the original race which whom they mated with, it has become an artificial procedure. That is to say, they all have one sex, which isn't male or female (even though secondary sexual markers makes them look more like males to most other humanoid species).
The hardened skin stubs are a marker of age, and thus are quite important to them. They are social symbols of the level of maturity of the individual and are cared for greatly.
There are cases of individuals which have no protrusions at all, but they are extremely rare, considered a genetic defect, and generally treated as pariahs.
Well, that's it for now. More info to come in the other charater's reff sheet, and even more in the background text.
ONE LAST THING!!!
They don't have a name yet iwi
I've got NO inspiration for names, so help meeeeeeeee i________i

What a fantastic race you've created, I love the amount of detail and thought you've given such as skin relates to status, it makes it more realistic and believable.
FA definately needs more users like yourself that go into detail with sheets and background history, I find it very interesting what people come up with.
I think you've done a great job, and I look forward to seeing more :).

Well, thanks a lot =D
I find it important that certain characteristics in invented species should follow a certain logic. I mean, even in human culture things have developed a certain way as logical reactions to the events that surrounded us... It kinda makes sense to em that more or less the same happens to alien races 0w0

oooh, nice alien lifeform ^^ I have yet to make a unisexual species, dunno why though, lol
I especially like their matured look, for a moment before clicking in I thought this was a Brute(from Halo) ref sheet. Obviously I'm wrong, but it still looks amazing! What kind of society do they have? how far technologically are they(with artificial breeding it seems they are highly advanced, though the need to survive keeps me to wonder)?
As for names, I have a few ideas that came to mind when I saw their appearance:
Goru (go-roo)
Noraiah (nuh-rai-ah)
Erutu (eh-roo-too)
Behemut (beh-heh-mut)
basically a bunch of blunt, strong sounding names, more earthy than anything, but as I said these were based on my thoughts after immediate viewing of the ref sheet. If you want more ideas let me know ^w^ I hope you see one you like!

Me encantaron las características que les diste, porque ademas hay un monton de preguntas que surgen como el hace cuando, como y porque se perdió la raza simbiótica. Ademas el nombre, podría ser el nombre que se dan ellos mismos, el nombre que le dan a ellos otras especies, el nombre que tenia el combo entre ellos y el simbiote. Es un generador de discursividad esta especie. Pero todos los nombres que se me ocurren suenan tontos
A ver si te agarro por msm esta semana hace bocha que no hablamos^^

Estoy conectada ahora!!! =D
Y a mi me pasa mas o menos lo mismo... es como que no hay ningun nombre que se me ocurra que no suene o tonto o banana xD
Y en cuanto a nombre, calculo que seria el nomreb qeu usan para otras especies... simepre me sono ams coherente que una especie se llame a si misma "gente" que por un nombre.
Bah, es lo que pasa con el ser humano, que es "persona" para si mismo 0w0
