Phylxian

General
Phylxians are a race of Psionic non-guild aliens who are as known for their amorality as well as their arts. Phylxians have no real fixed form due to their psionic nature, but are generally viewed single eyed beings that are horribly formed and twisted. People able to see auras or mental presences note a cloud that surrounds a phylxian and whispers things into their mind. Phylxians have developed a strange ability to breed with most sentient species. Despite this they are very rare in the universe due to in-fighting.

Psionics of the Phylxians
Any phylxian or partial breed of phylxian with psionics has the ability to access one of the 'psionic elements'. These elemetns are Body (physical alteration of ones being) Mind (Mentalists) or Spirit (some kind of concept such as fire, sound, or light that the psionic can manipulate) Only one known blood line of phylxians has ever been able to access more than one element or even all three. They were hunted and exiled, even killed, due to fear of the power they possessed.

Phylxian Auras
A pure blooded phylxian has a strong aura but silent save for the occasional whisper, while half breed have a weak aura but very frequently whisper. Only seven quarter breed phylxian have been known to exist, though only one is known to exist as of present. The aura of these is strong and speaks as opposes. Less pure phylxians are rarely aware of the aura about them. Quarter breeds do not begin life with their aura.

As psionics Phylxians posses the ability to give thoughts beyond the grave, resulting in these auras. They require a psionic presence to manifest even in their normal form. Pure bred phylxians can easily silence the aura, while weaker breeds can not. In addition to these floating thought clouds the knowledge of their ancestors can be passed through genetic knowledge, though few phylxians can access it, and even fewer are aware of it.

Phylxian appearances
Due to the self centered personalities phylxians tend to have, they always wish to be better. as a result their off spring are almost always more hideous than themselves. Half breeds can be either more beautiful than normal beings of their non-phylxian race, or more hideous based on the the will of the non phylxian parent. Half breeds rarely posses psionics but will be superior to their peers, regardless of appearance.

A phylxian's appearance varies so much that instead of seeing the physical appearance, most phylxians look at auras to identify each other. Phylxians of both Mind and Body have found ways to mimic other races appearance (mind by tricking those around them and Body by shifting form) however spirit phylxians rarely are able to change their appearance.

Other species Relations
For those species unfortunate enough to encounter phylxians many despise them with a burning passion for the horrible deeds phylxians bring with them. Amoral Phylxians tend to abuse other species along with their own for personal gain. In addition Phylxians view all other races as lessers that "Only serve to fulfill the desires of a superior species." Phylxian half breeds are treated better than other species but generally are looked down upon. Quarter breeds who have psionics are treated as half breeds, while those who do not have psionics are treated as mistakes and may be killed on sight.
