You wanna go? Well, be careful not to hit my face and I'll take care of yours.

Physical Description

By Audrey Hotte

Kyuzo are humanoid aliens with abnormally dense muscle, allowing for great strength with slimmer bodies and faster reflexes. People go as far to call them lanky. Their skin can be any variation of green, from a blueish-green to an olive green. They are hairless and have beady yellow eyes. Kyuzo body shape ranges are similar to humans in height and girth and their shape is fairly similar. They require assistance to breathe and see well in other atmospheres, often adopting pressurized breathing masks and corrective lenses to correct their problems. While these adversities never killed them, it made them rather helpless.

History

The kyuzo are native to the gravitationally-strong planet of Phatrong, causing the evolution of their dense muscles. They are a people that are proud of their martial history and have become renowned for it. The law of each region is often maintained through non-governmental local orders of fighters called clovocs, which are hired by governments. Their planet's forces were so powerful that even intergalactic empires would not keep a tight leash on them for fear of rebellion. Because of this, Phatrong became a hotbed for rebellious activity, and the kyuzo were more than happy to help.

Society

They are not a populous race, in the greater scheme of the galaxy, though their members reach and far and wide due to their willingness to travel. Known for a strong sense of justice and honor, many kyuzo have jobs as bounty hunters and mercenaries. They are never to trick a client due to their strict code and pride. Most kyuzo consider an oath or contract to be unbreakable. They have formed many separate political regions on their home planet and engage in politics eagerly. It is tradition for kyuzo warriors to wear wide, rounded hats that function not only as helmets, but as a shield. It can be thrown as a projectile. While able to speak Common, they prefer their own language and have trouble clearly communicating in languages other than their own at times.

Kyuzo Names

Kyuzo names are short and do not have any special ties to clans. They are usually three syllables long at most. This is evident of the Kyuzo language as a whole, which consists of short words and phrases in its grammar. Kyuzo, translated, is therefore like jargon or code to nonspeakers.
