Character Name: Chichitah
Species: Vox (Primalis)
Gender: None, Identifies as Female
Age: 28
Appearance:
She Is four feet in height. Big light-blue eyes that lure you in, A thick skin that is reinforced with keratin scales and decorated in Feathers with a nice light-green tint, Curly quills on the back of her skull. Wearing torn uniforms and clothing.
Background:
She was spawned on Arkship 17. This Arkship's main purpose to spawn and produce (CLASSIFIED) and improve the (CLASSIFIED). She was not one of these (CLASSIFIED) beings. But she did become a nurse to help keep the (CLASSIFIED) and Vox (CLASSIFIED)
Pay: Low
Skills/Talents:
She Is a smart la- Vox, a jack of all traits mainly a nurse.
Medical History:
Mental status=Risky, Physical status=Damaged internalo-organs, has substained Major internal fluid loss. NOTE: Vox blood.. HIGHLY TOXIC.
Security History:
Her introduction to the station was rough. She was found on a broken escape shuttle nearly dead holding a healthy and extremely rare Vox class-5 Larva. Status on her injuries found in medical history
Misc: She is a happy Vox. Curious about all things regarding the medical field, mainly the Human and tajaran physiology. Altough she sometimes has flashbacks on her past and incidents
Starting Equipment:
A slightly to small and torn nurse jumpsuit, nurse hat, picture of a gross larva thing, Bluespace Nitrogen tank (TM), Vox-breathing mask, PDA, Vox-magboots, utility-belt, Smile.
Human data:
The vox species can be divided, generally, into four groups: vox primalis, vox armalis, vox auralis
and vox apex. Due to the mysterious nature of vox reproduction, and the complete lack of specimens from the three latter categories, much of their genetic and physiological compatability and similarity are unknown. All four groups are known to possess cybernetic enhancement, sometimes to an extreme degree, and all of them are known to share at least one common dialect, designated vox-pidgin, irrespective of their vocal capacity, distance from each other, and cybernetic equipment.
The majority of observed vox belong to the vox primalis category, and range from three to four feet in height. Skin is thick, reinforced with keratin scales, and appears to act as an insulator and pressure-suit combined. The molecular complexity of the skin suggests that extensive engineering has been undertaken to adapt it to low-pressure environments, and attempts to grow samples in the lab have resulted in highly acidic compounds burning through the dish, the table, and the hull beneath it.
Despite their size, vox primalis musculature is highly dense and capable of extremely powerful rapid movement, ideal for sprinting, leaping and kicking. Sustained effort is less effective, and prolonged exertion will cause lactic acid buildup that can reach crippling levels. An exception to this rule is the beak, which is capable of reflexive and prolonged pressures in excess of 500PSI.
Vox talons are very hard, approximately equivalent to twice the hardness of human bone, and appear to be insulators against electrical current. The hardened skin on their forearms and lower legs is of similar consistency, ribbed in the manner of Earth birds, and exhibits a healing factor against surface damage characterised by leading researchers as 'absurd'.
Vox armalis are a smaller subgroup within vox populations, never observed outside of frigate-class or larger vessels belonging to vox crews. They stand twice the height of their primalis kin, statistically, and are far heavier and more armoured. In most cases, sensory organs like eyes and tongues have been completely replaced with cybernetics of bewildering complexity. No sample of an armalis or their cybernetics has been recovered due to inbuilt, extremely subtle self-destructive measures. Spectographic analysis suggests that almost every internal cavity within the average armalis is filled with semi-organic circuitry and cybernetics, their specific purposes unknown.
Very little is known about the vox auralis and vox apex, and their inclusion in reviews of vox physiology is generally a footnote. Sightings of the individuals are rare, bordering on unheard of, but consistent enough to warrant acceptance as a facet of the vox species. The auralis stand approximately the height of the armalis, and weigh three to four times as much. Badly corrupted records of analysis from destroyed probes suggest that they exist at least partially within bluespace. The veracity of this information is suspect and pending review.
The vox apex is known about solely from records, and acts as a physical god within vox mythology. This is the full extent of recorded data on the entity or entities.
The vox tail is a curious organ, acting as a prehensile limb, temperature regulator, and balance aid all in one. Long, flat scales on the underside of the tail are laced with capillaries, and when in atmosphere a vox can bristle them to help dispersing excess heat. Sub-nodes in the vox redundant nervous system are present in the limb, and it has demonstrated twitching movement up to three hours after the tail has been severed.
