 +====== Memmish ======
 +^  Back to [[xenos]]  ^
  
 +The planet Mem is in  the Holt system, and consequently the Memish are not an unfamiliar  sight in  the Procyon sector. Although they’re generally humanoid, the Memish have pitch-black eyes, and skin  that comes in  various shades of  blue, purple, and green. Instead of  hair  they  have  tentacles.  The Memish are able  to survive at extreme depths, and navigate  waters  with  virtually  no light available. They’re known  for  organizing in complex, extended  family  groups, and practicing  their  religion away  from  the light of  the Holt star. It involves ritual carving of their  scaled hides and imbuing  the carvings with carefully  tended bioluminescent deep-sea plant life. Here are some  things  you might expect a Memish  to be able  to do: 
 +
 +0 STRESS:  Breathe  water. Hear  really  low  sound  waves. Swim incredibly  quickly. 
 +
 +1 STRESS:  Sense  the  flow  of  electricity  nearby  (a sense developed to hunt prey  in  the deeps).  This ability  might cost  0 stress  if you  and  your  target  are  both  underwater.  Use  your  deep-water muscles to lift  a  thug  one-handed.  Extend  rending  claws capable of filleting  sharkskin. 
 +
 +2 STRESS:  Navigate  flawlessly in pitch blackness. Survive in space unharmed  for  a short  while. ATTunE  to the  Way  to  sense  gravitic disturbances  (common  on  Mem)  and  the  relative  mystic  ability of  anyone nearby. 
 +
 +Optional  RulE: When you are acting in  significantly warm  climates, take  level  2  or  level  3  harm  (based  on  how  hot  or  dry  it  is)  called “Memish  Weakness” and add a  gambit  to  your crew’s gambit pool. This  harm  can  be  removed  by being  immersed  in water for 24  hours. A  recovery  downtime activity with water available will remove this in addition  to any  segments  filled.
