SHEEL
Appearance and Biology: The
Sheel are rather human in appearance. Their heads are completely bald .
Their eyes are slightly larger and range from green to solid black . Their
thin heads come off as looking gaunt. They also have extra big canine teeth
. Their arms are slightly longer and they have breathing holes under the
chin . Other than that they are like humans .
Temperment: The
Sheel are very violent when they fight and warriors are held in high regard
. They constantly battle two other species on nearby planets . Their attitudes
range as much as humans but none want to stop the war that's raging in
their sector.
History and Culture:
The Sheel have always lived on Clast, a planet in the Dark System . The
system was named this when the Empire first met the inhabitants . They
landed and saw an intelligent species much like theirs but had not achieved
hyperspace . They landed on Clast and sent out an alien relations group
. Armed with only a few blasters and a camera they assumed they were not
savage since they were intelligent and were not fighting . The group ran
into one of the Sheel in a forest . He was thin , pale and almost translucent
. The group offered him their best drink and the Sheel greedily took it
. Upon tasting it his face twisted as though it were sour . Then he crushed
the glass and slaughtered the group before they had a chance to react .
Meanwhile most of the Imperial troops were watching this through the camera
on the ship . Most of them turned their head or puked . after he had killed
the group he proceeded to lick up the blood. they would have tried to kill
all of them if they weren't attacked by a swarm of their ships . The system
was named by a fellow who managed not to get his blood drained and infiltrated
their society . He came back saying they are obsessed with killing the
surrounding species or getting blood . he also said that several used the
force . The dark side of the force. The powers did the same thing but with
a much more evil or gruesome effect . The also have a few powers of their
own . They are good in one way . All three of the species have agreed to
fight their war on a nearby uninhabited planet , Somin . This keeps the
war from hurting towns , trade or young . If it were not for the
war , Somin would be the most beautiful planet . The days last twice as
long as a standard day and the planets photosynthesis is very good . The
plants they grow quickly and are very tough . It weren't for all
the battles above it or in it , the whole planet would smother from the
overpopulation of plants
Tech Level: The
Sheel have up to sublight travel , but that's all they need to get to combat
quickly so they care not for hyperspace . The have no large crafts such
as capital ships and no vehicles such as walkers . Speeders are never made
for combat and are usually used just for shopping or stuff like that. Their
space ships rely on stealth and are very good at it . Most of their weapons
are blades or thrown weapons for drawing blood . So these have been heavily
worked on and modified .

Special Abilities:
Reflexes: During character generation you can
start with an extra 1D in thrown weapons, dodge, running or brawling parry.
The thrown weapons can only get the extra die when you have been attacked
. (Example: No extra die if you try and snipe some dude hiding behind
a bush.)
Smooth like dat: they are excellent sneakers
and gain +2 to sneak.
Blood: If they have drank more blood than needed
by a gallon they get +1D to initiative and +1D to bite. So a bite does
Str+2D. A Sheel cannot die from overage .Note: the more a Sheel drinks
blood the more obsessed they get about getting it . Thus the difficulty
for resisting willpower rolls to just bite somebody should be adjusted
accordingly.
