The glass is frosted over, covering only the vital sign readout, but a diffuse green glow can be seen. Through the glass, a shoulder is visible, covered in thick, layered scales. [size=0] OLD DATA Name: Elar Age: 22 Earth Orbits Gender: Male Species: closest Terran pronunciation is "Crawn" Birthplace: The Fringe Universal ID: 02-6887-7-4590 Species skills: Heavy scales, sheathed underclaws Occupational skills: Brawling, Gun/Fist for Hire.
The Crawn are an odd species. They appear to have evolved from a creature resembling the Terran Pangolin, and have layered scales, with razor edges. Besides being carnivorous, the key difference from the Pangolin is their claws or spikes sheathed below their forearms. These are usually about 12 inches long, and can be sharpened. Although they cannot easily cut through thick metal, they can slice their way through an inch of steel, and little else stands in their way. Crawn cannot hear with the accuracy of a human, as their scales cover their ear openings. They are humanoid.
The Crawn live primarily in the Fringe worlds, and are often mercenaries or soldiers in the many skirmishes over territory. Their home planet has high levels of gravity, requiring them to circulate much more oxygen then the average human. Also, coming from a high gravity planet, they have much more muscle mass and bone density than Humans and they are damned slow movers, atrocious swimmers, but can move faster than a prize fighter on the punch.[/size]

The Crawn are an odd species. They appear to have evolved from a creature resembling the Terran Pangolin, and have layered scales, with razor edges. Their teeth are sharp and layered, designed for shredding, like a sharks. Besides being carnivorous, the key difference from the Pangolin is their claws or spikes sheathed below their forearms. These are usually about 12 inches long, and can be sharpened. Although they cannot easily cut through thick metal, they can punch (literally, a punch gun) their way through an inch of steel, and little else stands in their way. Crawn cannot hear with the accuracy of a human, as their scales cover their ear openings. They are humanoid.
This ancestor of the Crawn had a hunting style similar to that of a cheetah, and the Crawn are normally lazy, but in fights or times of danger, a gland releases an equivalent of adrenaline, and they can move blindly fast.
The Crawn live primarily in the Fringe worlds, and are often mercenaries or soldiers in the many skirmishes over territory. Their home planet has high levels of gravity, requiring them to circulate much more oxygen then the average human. Also, coming from a high gravity planet, they have much more muscle mass and bone density than Humans. In high gravity, it takes much force to unsheathe their claws, and so in Terran normal conditions, they can pop out with the force of a bullet. The Crawn under normal conditions are damned slow movers, atrocious swimmers, but can move faster than you'd expect on a punch.
