Mustafaree
Name: MustafareeMustafaree
Biology: The Mustafaree are a sentient metal that can shape shift at will using their natural electromagnetic field that is present from formation. Most choose to take the form of a humanoid, though they always maintain their metallic shade (bluish-silver for males and pewter-grey for females). After maintaining a certain form for long periods of time, it becomes harder and harder to take other forms. While they can change shape, depending on the size and shape they assume, they are more or less intelligent. Humanoid form is a compromise for them; small enough to retain a decent level of intelligence, and physically versatile enough to be useful. They can compress themselves down into smaller forms in order to think more efficiently, or they can expand to be huge and physically powerful, but that makes them fairly mindless.
Breeding: The Mustafaree do not breed by normal reproductive means. It happens naturally through hundreds of years of formation underground.
Strengths: The Mustafaree are not affected by things like hunger, thirst, or exhaustion.
Weaknesses: Extreme heat and unnatural magnetic fields (such as those created by a lightsaber's blade, a blaster's laser fire, or, planets and other celestial bodies with extremely powerful electromagnetic fields) can make it harder for a Mustafaree to maintain a solid form. A Mustafaree can be killed when it's cells are spread to thin for it's consciousness to still exist.
Diet: They consume electrical energy.
Behavior/Temperament: Given that the Mustafaree very rarely leave Mustafar, have very little interaction with the Galaxy as a whole, so their social skills are not that well developed and tend to keep to themselves.
Communication: While the Mustafaree have no audible language, they can speak other languages by vibrating their body at a certain frequency and pattern to form vocal words. The Mustafaree communicate with each other by sending out an electromagnetic pulse to those around it which can cause images, sounds, smells, and emotional feelings in the subject on the receiving end.
Culture: The Mustafaree are a extremely intelligent race, who consider themselves children of the "creator" (this is a word used to describe what the Mustafaree believe, but has no audible name given they speak through message pulses). They are untrusting towards other races, given their history as slaves, and hardly interact with others outside their race.
History: The Mustafaree were once a primitive and dull race, used as slaves by the Mustafarians in their factories. They were tortured by the Mustafarians, and treated as lesser beings. Until one day, when a Mustafarian showed kindness to a group Mustafaree and taught them how to speak so they could communicate better. As a thank you, one Mustafaree sent out a message pulse of happiness, but the Mustafarian, startled by the pulse, pushed the Mustafaree off the nearby canyon edge and into the lava below, killing it. Dying, the Mustafaree sent out a message pulse of pain and suffering to all the others. Outraged, all the Mustafaree rioted and attacked the Mustafarians, driving them away from the factories. The Mustafaree then gathered at the canyon edge, and mourned the lost Mustafaree. Years later, the Mustafaree and the Mustafarians keep away from each other, and there is an uneasy peace between them.
Planet: Mustafar
Technology: They have access to the same technologies as other sentient species do, though they rarely use communication devices, choosing to use their message pulse over such means.
Intent: To offer a new unique species to roleplay as, that has a unique history and biology. To also further the meaning of what it means to be sentient, and the ability for a species to experience emotion and consciousness without a physical or digital brain.
