Anyway I Need To Think Of An Ant Related Name Since It Would Be A Nickname From The Crew - Blog Posts

OC time because I need to branch out a little. I also made xem a Minecraft skin because I like the monochrome brown and yellow. 

I need some name ideas, but for now, I’m going to call xem Y. Since xe are yellow.

Some info I thought up under the cut 

Y is part of a well-situated race. Far from human planets, they have evolved similar to insects, in a more humanoid form. They have segmented plates protecting against debris and attacks. Just like most bugs, inside all the plated armour is a squishy inside. Unlike bugs, instead of mandibles or an exterior mouth, Y’s faceplate lifts and reveals xyr mouth. To human standards, Y would be a female similar to worker ants. However, in Y’s society gender is a foreign concept, you are either a worker or a queen.

Most people who first meet Y find themselves careful around xyr presence. Like the rest of Y’s species, they are often compared to human porcelain dolls, especially due to their unmoving face. Unlike these dolls Y’s species is incredibly hardy and can be skilled with a weapon, there are horror stories of a faceless doll wiping out a whole human vessel. Y took the liberty of drawing on a mouth and eyebrows to try and appear less scary, but in xyr home planet, xe communicate emotions with body language alone.

Y was sent on a solo mission to explore and research neighbouring planets, however was knocked astray by a barrage of asteroids. After losing connection with xyr queen, Y was left completely alone for months until xe were found. Since xe had been gone for so long, xe decided to keep researching and travelling the cosmos in search of a new start with the crew that saved xem.

Anyway might mess around and make some more aliens because I love designing this kind of stuff.
