MuKhAdiSh

Like Kerrn, Mukhadish are a creation of the Vaylen Eugenicists.

These creatures represent the pinnacle of the art for Vaylen—not

because they are excellent in any one area, but because they are

pliable, adaptable and easily controlled.

The Mukhadish are the result of a patchwork of assorted DNA.

Cross-sections from human sources plus a half-dozen other alien

species created this masterpiece of Vaylen scientific achievement.

Mukhadish are giant creatures, taller than Kerrn, and stronger.

By design, Mukhadish are more docile than their Kerrn predecessors.

They accept the Naiven implantation with considerable ease. They

are hermaphroditic and dim-witted. While they have an aggressive

streak, Mukhadish look for someone to give them instructions.

This makes them very useful.

Mukhadish Characters

Since Mukhadish are born and bred to be slaves, they do not make

the best leaders. This is reflected in their lifepaths. They do not

start with the necessary skills to be a leader. This limits their

usefulness in conflicts and in the big picture. They are fun and

challenging characters to play, but they are more often found in

a support role—as a bodyguard, for example—than as the leader

of a faction.

Mukhadish Common Traits

All Mukhadish characters must take the following traits: Bred for Slavery,

Gigantic Stature, Naiven Tube, Pug, Rending Claws and Tough.

Mukhadish

Bred for Slavery Dt

Mukhadish were designed to be a cheap, docile labor pool. Their stat maximum

exponents are: Per 5, Will 3, Agi 4, Spd 5, Pow 8, For 8.

Gigantic Stature Dt

Mukhadish stand three to four meters tall and two meters across the shoulder.

When factoring their starting attributes, they must have a minimum Power

exponent of 6 and a minimum Forte exponent of 6. Mukhadish may always

start with a Power or Forte exponent of 7 or 8 if they choose. Starting exponent

maximums don’t apply to these stats.

Naiven tube Dt

Mukhadish were designed to be Vaylen. Thus, in service of that design

goal, the Vaylen sculptors fashioned a tube into the Mukhadish’s physique.

The tube is concealed beneath a flap of skin and provides direct access

to the creature’s brain for a Naiven worm. No surgery is required; a

Naiven may simply crawl into the Mukhadish’s brain and take over.

Pug Char

The Mukhadish possess a strange pug face and leathery skin that is oddly

reminiscent of Earth-born fruit bats.

rending Claws Dt

Mukhadish have tough, rigid and

sharp nails at the end of their

long fingers. When using a Close

Combat Overbearing action, the

Mukhadish player may choose to

conduct a Hand to Hand action

simultaneously and thereby do

damage to his opponent via an

unarmed attack as he takes him

down.

tough Dt

Round up when averaging Power

and Forte to determine the Mortal

Wound.

Wild

Wild Mukhadish are fairly rare in the

Empire. Their herds are generally found

only on worlds where great battles

were lost. Mukhadish Cows, pregnant

and ready to birth and infest the world,

ended up stranded after a battle. In the

absence of a supply of Naiven, their

offspring grew without having been hulled. They grew wild and free,

forming herds. Generally docile, they live peaceably in the shadow of

the survivors’ settlements.

Underworld

The criminal underworld of the various urban hive worlds raise

Mukhadish in captivity to be thugs and pets. Some Mukhadish escape

and manage to find life as laborers, others wander lost in the underbelly

of society. This setting is native by default, just like the Outcast and

Criminal setting.
