Name: The Nicruxi
Natural Appearance: Pale purple-skinned, thin slender humanoids. White tribal markings on the skin. Primitive clothing. Narrow eyes with no pupils. Skin is held very tightly to bone structure. Hair is always black. Humanoid – two arms, two legs, two eyes, etc. All Nicruxi have a perfect memory of everything they see and hear. Can shape-shift.
Attitude: The Nicruxi are pacifists who hate violence. They refused to get involved with any sort of politics outside of their own world up until its destruction. They would rather stay hidden than have to deal with other races. Despite primitive technology on their own world, they have been quick to adapt and easily learn to understand far higher level technology of other worlds
Technology: Their own is primitive and tribal. Consisting of spears and ropes. Easily learn to adapt and control other technologies developed by other organisms
Backstory: The Nicruxi always kept themselves to themselves. They only discovered they were not alone in the universe when their world was visited by explorers from another corner of the cosmos. The planet of the Nicruxi contained a power fuel source that attracted the attention of Daleks in the Time War. Rather than let the Daleks harness this new power, the Time Lords destroyed the Nicruxi world. This was the early years of the Time War so the Time Lords transported a large number of the population away from the planet to avoid genocide as this was a time when such things were still cared for by the high council.
Present: The majority of the Nicruxi colonised the moon of their now destroyed homeworld but a large number chose to use their shapechanging abilities to integrate into extraterrestrial societies across the galaxy. Now the Nicruxi are far spread across the galaxy but have chosen to remain disguised as natives to avoid conflict. Anyone you meet could be a Nicruxi but for all intents and purposes they are the race they appear to be as they would do anything to remain hidden. To see a Nicruxi in its natural form without travelling to their moon is most rare and few have ever done so.
