A race of giant reptilian-descended humanoids with red skin, three eyes, and short hair ridges along the top of the head ranging in shades of white or blue .
They wear blue body paint, set deep within tribal markings carved into their iron hard flesh, this is a right of passage for the men of their species, and is proof of ones warrior spirit.
Aegaeran's are a heavily gladiatorial species with a strong cultural foundation in combat, after a gestation period of twelve months an Aegaeran is born, they are a heavily patriarchal society and the men make up seventy percent of their total population. This means that only the strongest amongst them are permitted to mate.
Aegaeran's are incapable of developing superpowers, however this is hardly a disadvantage as Aegaeran anatomy, technology, and lifestyle make them capable of taking on any super.
Origin
Amongst the Agaeran's, Vholok reigns as one of the strongest gladiators of their people. Vholok often travels from his home galaxy to compete in the Forum Malvanum under the gladiatorial name of Leviathan. Here he maintains an undefeated streak with ruthless aggression and ferocious tenacity. Recently his growing disinterest in the opponents Tateklys has been able to provide for the Forum has caused him to seek out more exhilarating challenges on Earth.
Strengths
Longevity - Aegaeran's are naturally "immortal", they do not get sick, or feel the passing of time as humans do. Though they do age, they do so at such a slow rate, that death due to age is mostly uncommon or unheard of.
Aegaeran Biology - Aegaeran's are a physically "perfect" species, many years of breeding in a world that thrives under the law of natural selection has forced the Aegaran's towards biological "perfection". A typical Aegaran is capable of lifting roughly seventy tons, this is largely due to the intense gravitational conditions of their home-world, and their smooth iron-hard skin is nearly impervious to most external harms.
Immunity to all Terrestrial harms of a natural, biological, chemical, or radioactive nature - The Aegaeran's native environment is exceedingly hostile and filled with many toxic chemicals and poisons that the Aegaran's have adapted an immunity too.
Aegaeran Bio-Tech - Aegaeran's have extremely advanced technology, while not rivaling the tech of the Malvans, their tech relatively dwarfs the capabilities of most other species and is powered by a synthetic bio-fluid making it incredibly advanced and resistant to electrical attacks. Aegaran's are also capable of FTL travel and can reach The Milky Way in a short enough time that trade with the species that call it home is a possibility. Aegaran Weapons while not inherently technological utilize advanced methods of production and sturdy metal that can only rarely be found elsewhere in the universe.
Weapon Proficiency - Due to their gladiatorial nature, most Aegaran's are extremely proficient with weaponry and many among-st them have mastered several forms of combat, this extends to them having an innate understanding of weaponry and while they may not necessarily understand what the weapon is or how it works, they know enough to be able to use most weapons in a pinch.

Mind Down - Perhaps the most biologically unique characteristic of the Aegaeran's is one that cannot be visibly distinguished. Throughout the Aegaeran populace, male or female, there exists an innate inbred ability to cognitively hyper-focus in the midst of battle. This state (which is fairly similar to Berserker Rage) is known as Mind Down. The Aegaeran mental ability to shut out all internal and external influences that may affect combat. They do not feel the passage of time, pain, hunger, or any other mental difficulties that would normally limit ones capability to continue fighting.
Weaknesses
Malvanum Code of Honor - All gladiators of the Forum Malvanum must pledge an oath on their honor that they will not grant quarter or expect quarter to be given to them, as well as never attacking an opponent who can not defend themselves, or is at a severe disadvantage.
Overconfidence - As an Aegaeran and an undefeated Forum gladiator Vholok is prone to believing he is invincible, and can been goaded into making mistakes he normally wouldn't make.
Sorcery - Though Aegaeran armor is heavily advanced and capable of defending against most attacks, including those of a magical nature, Aegaeran's have little resistance to magic. This also extends to an inability to use magic, as they lack any and all connection to the astral planes that would normally allow them to learn and use it.
Sonic Attacks - Though Aegaeran skin is nearly impervious to most human technologies such as high caliber bullets and low energy plasma and laser weapons, this does little to protect their ears, leaving them open to attacks of a sonic nature.
Gravity Attacks - Aegaran technology is capable of defending against attacks that would uproot or launch them for the greater part. However Aegaeran's themselves boast no immunity to attacks of this nature.
Biological Attacks - While biologically adapted to be immune to poisons, neuro-toxin's and most other harms of a biological nature. The Aegaeran technology works on biological principles and can be affected or disrupted by magic, gravity, and sonic powers.
Social Ineptitude - Vholok like most Aegaeran's, while charismatic, lacks any sense of social conduct or inkling for deception. They can be fairly easily deceived do to the fact that they lack any games of intrigue or deception such as politics. Aegaeran's while boastful and prone to taunting their opponents do not have a strong foundation in speech and while they learn other languages with relative ease do not make a habit of talking much as such when they do choose to speak their sentences are usually blunt and short. This also causes them to be wary of the wordy nature of magic, and creates difficulties dealing with other species in a political nature.
Gear
Aegaeran Blades - As part of the Aegaran right of passage an Aegaeran receives a set of unique ceremonial Aegaeran blades. Forged using an advanced metal folding technique similar to Damascus, the Aegaeran process creates incredibly strong blades due to the intense gravitational forces under which the metal is folded. The materials of the blade are unique due to the unconventional nature of the Aegaeran home world and the metals used in its forging are rarely found outside of the planet and the surrounding asteroid field.
Aegaeran Bio-Armor - Created with advanced Aegaeran bio-tech, the Aegaeran armor is incredibly durable, and compensates for many of the would be weaknesses of an Aegaeran warrior.
Aegaeran F'rkxtak(For-tack) - A specially designed pole-arm commonly wielded by Aegaeran warriors, this is the traditional and most widely used weapon of the Aegaeran's and is fueled by the glowing blue fluid that is the power source of every Aegaeran bio-tech.
Ancaladite - An extremely durable super metal found only on the Aegaeran home-world and the surrounding asteroid field. This metal is extremely rare and one of the staple trading goods of the Aegaeran people, giving them a fairly prosperous economy. While difficult to forge and shape, once tempered the metal is extremely resilient and will retain a sharp edge indefinitely. This makes it most ideal for weaponry, though its near indestructible qualities make it useful for a variety of things. This metal can be used in its pure state, however when combined as an alloy with other metals becomes even stronger. The downside of the metal is that it is extremely dense, causing it to be rather heavy. Ancaladite naturally comes in a light bluish silver color and retains a polished shine without the need for maintenance or buffing.
