Cendarii

Cendarii are a type of Divine Being who have traveled the near region of the galaxy for the past 3,000 years looking for a suitable planet to call home. They're compassionate and curious, often to their own detriment. Many Terrans enjoy their company, but many also consider them to be nosy do-gooders. They wage an eternal war against corruption, most notably against Undead and Fleshbeasts.

Description

Cendarii (or rather, their Shells) appear as small, slender humanoids, the vast majority of them standing no taller than 135cm. They're strikingly feminine, even the males, and have roundish faces with often cheery expressions. Their hair and eyes glow a gentle blue, and their skin is pale. They wear skin-tight suits, called Lifesuits, which can sport a variety of patterns using colors like white, gray, black, and gold. This suit is considered part of their biology, as it cannot be safely removed.

Their Core (that is, their true form which lives inside of their shell), is impossible to describe. However, a pair of their natural tentacles can reach out of their shell from their back. These tentacles are opalescent and glow brightly, and can be quite long (some measuring up to 3-4 meters in length).

All Cendarii look more or less the same, with only small variations between them. Male Cendarii have the same basic frame as their female counterparts, but lack feminine secondary characteristics. The only exception are the combat models, such as Paladins, which stand roughly 20cm taller than the rest.

Clothing

Cendarii prefer to wear loose clothes, most often cloaks. They particularly prefer to wear clothes that allow them to extend their tentacles without much trouble, whether by reaching out from under a cloak or by slipping through "sleeves" in the back of their garment. They aren't particularly picky about how much is covered by their clothing, except for the capacitor on their back. Exposing this in public is considered indecent.

They like whites, blues, and golds in their clothes, though some have opted for darker colors as well. Particularly after being exposed to Terran culture, many have enjoyed experimenting with different styles.
