Heat Adaptation: Chakh is a very, very hot world, with surface
temperatures regularly reaching 70ø C. Because of this, the Ethcroi are very well adapted to high
temperatures, while not being so well adapted to cold. Their
normal range is from 50ø-90ø, and they view cold and hot based on
those standards. In addition, they need to drink no liquid water,
as they are capable of surviving off of the water naturally
provided by the foods they eat.
Natural Weapons and Armor: The hide of the Ethcroi gives them
a +1 bonus vs. energy attacks, and a +2 bonus vs. physical attacks.
Their claws inflict STR+2D damage, and can be used in conjunction
with brawling combat skills.

Clothing:
Sigirion wears faded army fatigues, mottled with camouflage
patterns, over a customized suit of body armor. He wears this
outfit in as many contexts as possible, and tries to avoid
situations were he would have to be separated from his arms and
armor.
Retainers, henchmen, and associates:
Sigirion has no friends, only rivals, at least in his mind, and
treats his associates accordingly. At times, the elimination of
all his subordinates seems to be a genuine goal of Sigirion, and
any officer with a hint of intelligence or the slightest instinct
for self preservation gets himself out of Sigirion's control. Only
other Ethcroi, who desire his position and are used to the sort of
cutthroat competitive process that Sigirion's command exemplifies
can work with him, leading to Ethcroi leadership of Sigirion's
primarily Krantian command.
Common haunts and habitues:
Sigirion tends to spend as much of his time in the field with
his troops as possible, both to cement their loyalty to him, and to
prevent any attempt by his subordinates to seize control. When he
was younger and more ambitious, Sigirion would spend time at
central command, and try to gain more power for himself, but now he
has his hands full just holding on the power that he has, and will
only be found at central command if he absolutely has to be there.
History:
Sigirion is a typical Ethcroi officer, if somewhat older than
most. After defeating his creche siblings for a right to live, he
was mauled by an elder sister wielding a skinning knife. Certain
that he would not be able to reach the rank of heir before one of
his parents died or was killed, Sigirion signed on for military
duty. He moved up the ranks with relatively great speed, as his
abilities were truly superior. His goal was to reach supreme
command, and he came quite close, achieving his current rank of
Lieutenant General through an equal mixture of ability, tenacity,
and treachery. However, as the years passed, Sigirion lost his
edge, and saw himself surpassed by much younger officers.
At 37, Sigirion is almost elderly for an Ethcroi, and it is
only his great abilities and his innate stubbornness that keeps him
in the highly competitive forward command post that he had
achieved. His options include retirement to Chakh, but as he
devoted his best years to the military, his chances of outliving
his first brood are rather slim, transfer to a desk job, which
would be seen as a sign of either weakness or ambition by his
rivals, either of which would get him killed, or going out in a
blaze of glory, in a direct attack against a superior force, an
option that is looking more and more promising.
Personality:
Sigirion, is a bitter, grim, and paranoid individual, with a
streak of tactical brilliance that occasionally transfers over to
interpersonal relationships, a trait that allows him to survive in
Ethcroi society, despite his relatively advanced age.
