My stab at a new race. Lemme know what you think...

ELOHIM


Appearance: Elohim are incorporeal creatures, taking whatever form they find fanciful at any given time. Though sightings are exceedingly rare, when it does occur, reports are very vague. Usually mentioning a shifting form that is semi-transparent.

Characteristics: Though the Prejor are well known as the progenitors of most technology in the galaxy, the Elohim claim to be the first and foremost race in the Galaxy. Not in technology, but in the flow of time, guiding the evolution of all the goings on.

Their religion, which all are avid followers actually states that it is of their essence that the universe began, and it is of this that they are able to alter their physical forms at will. Holding to this tenant, they also believe that all other life-forms sentient or not, are beneath them and will only be granted an audience if deigned necessary to the survival of the galaxy or the Elohim themselves.

Motives: Recently one had a vision of cataclysmic consequences for the Elohim homeworld. Due to this, a small number of the most skilled hunters has started combing the galaxy for the cause.

Organization: Though highly intelligent and ancient, the Elohim have no formal organization or government. All Elohim strive for Self-Actualization by finding their own path, not one is in a higher order than another; all are equals in every way imaginable. There is only one exception, every so often Elohim democratically vote on whether or not to sacrifice one of their own to save the universe. Since an Elohim can change shape and alter materials, he is placed as a Guardian and must stand watch forever against a specific threat. There is no return from this exile.

Relationships: Elohim are by their very nature, loners and look down upon all other races. Their is no relationship of any kind as of yet between them and any other.

Miscellaneous: The Elohim inhabit only one world, thru their ability to alter the matter of the area in which they occupy it has remained hidden to this day.

Ships: None. Elohim travel through space without need for any kind of transport, though they are incorporeal some have died due to aggression from other species. This is a rare occurence as races powerful enough to kill them havent existed since the Prejor times.

Equipment: Since Elohim dont have any ships running thru the galaxy, technology is almost of no use. However, they have learned thru the aeons of their existence how to manipulate matter to suit their needs. I submit some of their abilities:

As a defensive mechanism, Elohim are able to warp the very fabric of space in small locations as a point defense. This is their anti projectile defense.

As a scanning function, they use the light bending around stars to create a type of space telescope.

As a cloaking function, well, they just blend in for all I know. /shrug



Forms (in lieu of ships):
Spook: Spooks are first and foremost the intelligence gatherers of the society, Elohim that quest for knowledge are apt to choose this as a life for themselves. Extremely agile, these have little to no survivability other than their ability to blend in with their surroundings and get the hell out of dodge. Quick to run at first sign of a fight however makes capturing or destroying one of these quite a challenge.
Vindicator: These are your basic run and gun type personalities. While they may not be the heaviest hitters, these Elohim have quite a good advantage in that they maneuver much better than most similarly powerful vessels of other races. Oddly enough, even though sightings of Elohim are rare, Vindicators are often seen traveling in pairs.
Wraith: The assassins have created their own unique vessels, high cloak with extremely high attacking power. Unlike most other ships that would focus on other amenities, Wraiths only focus on the two. If you survive the first attack, you then have to find them to be able to defend yourselves.
Annihilator: Veritable fortresses, these are comprised of multiple Elohim working together forming a vast complex of intelligence, firepower, and control over the surrounding area of space. Only rumors of these vessels exist because no living being has ever seen one. A garbled transmission from Terran merchants is the only evidence these truly exist.
