Mynd
Opna / Loka
Appearance
Height [cm]:140-180
Weight [Kg]:70-120
Eyes:Large and black. The eyes cannot move, but act as telephoto lenses, giving them very broad vision, while having some difficulty inspecting objects up close.
Ears:Small holes in the side of the head
Hair:None
Mouth:Small, very flat
Nose:Small, the Gaste have very little sense of smell, and cannot breathe through their nose exclusively due to the size of the nose canals
Skin:Gray, or shades of green
Legs:Thin, extremely flexible.
Arms / Hands:Gaste have thin arms and large hands which each has four identical fingers. Gaste have no thumb as such, but can position a finger in the place of a thumb, giving them much greater hand dexterity than humans, for example.
Build:Gaste appear to be quite fragile creatures, with large unprotected eyes and a slim physique.
Life and Death
Puperty:10-12 years
Lifespan:130-150 years
Diet:Gaste will eat just about anything. Their food of choice is usually raw animal meat, but insects, plants, fungus is all food to them. They also require very little water, around 1/4 of the human requirement, but they don’t perspire, which makes them quite vulnerable to heat.
Population [percentage and location]:5,7 % (Utopia)

Advantages:
  • The Gaste have superior vision as long as the object being inspected doesn’t come too close. They have around 150 degree vision which makes them very difficult to surprise
  • They can also see the entire IR spectral band and see a little bit into the UV as well.
  • There is no such thing as peripheral vision for Gaste. Everything they see is in clear focus. Gaste also have little difficulty identifying people and objects again.
  • They have an uncanny photographic memory. This would make them very valuable in criminal cases, but as they like to lie and get paid off this ability usually serves no one but the Gaste.
  • Gaste are also quite agile, and can perform very delicate tasks with their hands. This makes them fine mechanics, but their macro-vision makes them a less likely candidate for such jobs than Ginger.
Disadvantages:
  • Because of their slim physique the Gaste are not strong, and they tire easily.
  • They also have very limited sense of smell and hearing. They rely almost exclusively on their sight.
  • They also have limited resistance to heat, and are prone to get severe ‘heat strokes’ if exposed to over 30 C for an extended period of time
Modifier summary:+50% on visual observation, when they’re not inspecting things up close. Memorize is free with a 30% base bonus. They have Infrared and limited Ultra Violet vision. –25% on all smell and hearing related checks (observation, mostly). Heat vulnerability.
Suggested classes:Gaste make excellent Rogues, Techies and thieves, and they often work as bountyhunters.
Social
Example Names:Sala Be, Allar Gab, Gosin Era
Cousin Species:Gaste are kin to the Simari whom are believed to be extinct.
History:The Gaste resided mostly the southern part of the Galaxy until the end of the War of Eternity when Nordon was vanquished. Then they began to spread more around the Galaxy. Now they can be found everywhere, with the largest population being in Utopia. The Gaste have always managed to stay on the sidelines, and can usually be found among the strongest civilizations.
