- Paraxen

They are the descendants of a human colonization fleet dispatched under the interstellar pioneering plan.

During the process of planetary and space station erosion due to the Xsotan attacks, extreme resource shortages and various disasters occurred. To survive these environmental changes, they resorted to extreme human experimentation and modifications.

As a result of this research, they applied the characteristics of some annelids and arthropods to human body mutations, gaining the ability to survive in extreme environments.

In this mutation process, they had to adapt to terrible pain and extreme sensory changes.

Some parts of their bodies would mutate, growing tentacles or transforming skin into an exoskeleton, causing them to partially lose their human appearance.

Paraxens grow up in highly isolated spaces and are protected as children, but between the ages of 5 and 7, they undergo mutation procedures and then transition out of isolation to become members of Paragen society.

This process is called the "Coming of Age Ceremony," but knowing the pain that the children will endure, Paraxens grieve their fate and channel that sorrow into a burning rage against the Xsotan.

Despite these circumstances, they refuse to alter their bodies at a genetic level to be anything other than human, fearing that their descendants might become uncontrollable monsters rather than humans.
