I've been playing around with the idea of a new race, and brainstorming with a few members in the community. Tell me what you guys think:
This race is blood thirsty. They're a race of war criminals love to murder, torture, and kill any form of intelligent life they can find. The ships and tanks they use are industrial sort of boxy looking death machines, with oversize guns and cannons and laters of plates with rivets and bolts showing. They decortate their ships with chains, blood, and sometimes skulls. Its not their biometal technology however, they stole it from the race who controls them.
After some brainstorming between me, AHadley, and Angstromicus, we put this together as a rough beginning to the outline of this race:
Hzarzk
- Incredibly violent race of humanoid mutants, created by another race as a result of highly immoral genetic experiments on babies.
- Goal of the experiments was to combine the DNA splicing of vicious wildlife with an accelerated immune system and immunizations, to create the perfect biological warfare resistant super solider.
- Experiments declared a success, and armies of super soldiers are created.
- Their attempts to prevent the DNA spreading down bloodlines fails.
- The mentality of the many offspring of the super soldiers slowly degenerate into intelligent versions of the animals they spliced, developing incredibly violent tendencies, an unquenchable blood lust, and eventually begin to mutate into stronger faster creatures with the ability to detect pheromones from hundreds of meters away.
- These creatures are named the Hzarzk
- They eventually multiply in vast numbers, overwhelming the race who created them and violently wipe them out.
- The Hzarzk steal the biometal technology used by their creators to travel to other worlds so they can kill more.
Their discription is this. About 10 feet tall, slightly hunched over with slightly long arms and claws, small cold black eyes, a large boney jaw, and sharp teeth. As pilots, they'd carry large heavy weapons like oversized plasma rifles and rocket launchers, or maybe just attack you with their claws like jack-killers.
There's nothing very deep about this race, and thats what makes them a great enemy. The best kind of enemy is one you can HATE and kill without remorse, without any reason to try and understand them or feel sorry for them. A race of bloodthirsty creatures bent on the distruction of every form of intelligent life, who will slowly rip you limb from limb and listen to your screams if they ever get the chance.
They don't have to be named the Hzarzk, as long as thier name sounds alien to the english language, and doesn't sound like someone belching or a bodily noise.
So tell me what you guys think.
