Lazarossi

Lazarossi are a bipedal  humanoid extremophile race, known for being one of the only creatures able to survive in the vacuum of space for short periods of time. The race originated from the planet Lazarus, in the Eon Sector (System Federation).

History
The planet Lazarus was home to over 6 billion Lazarossi, until growing tensions between the strongly fascist UNLR (United National Lazarossi Republic) and the more communist "Zet Kin"(Red Youth) Group resulted in a war of nuclear proportions which almost entirely wiped out the entire population. Lazarus now is a barren wasteland in which only the hardiest Lazarossi can survive.

They survive only by cloning as infant mortality rates are extremely high due to DNA degradation, and so their population remains small throughout the galaxy. They mainly work as mercenaries for the Kelmari Domain, though some choose a simpler life on farmsteads and even small businesses.

Appearance
Lazarossi stand generally taller than 6 feet, on two legs. Their hands and feet have six digits as they have two opposable thumbs on ether side of their hands and feet.

Lazarossi are more muscular than the majority of humanoid and appear more dexterous and agile. this is because Lazarus has a much higher gravity than most terrestrial planets. Their skin tends to be a grey-blue, with an especially leathery texture. They do not possess hair follicles anywhere on their body, both the base of the feet and palms of the hands are softer in comparison to the rest of their skin.

Lazarossi eyes are large, dark purple in colour with a black Nictitating membrane, which makes their vision slightly sensitive to bright light.
