Username: Aftti Tu'Kar
Faction Name: The Cult of Righteousness
Faction Motto: No Hard Feelings
Theme Song: Rogue Legacy Castle Theme
Color: Dried blood
Species Name: Schnorikibix
Description: The Schnorikibix look kind of like foxes, kind of like hedgehogs, and kind of like lizards. Their eyes glow red in the dark, and they can see more of the infrared end of the spectrum than humans can, but their color vision is much less powerful.
Due to some strange atmospheric quirk in the early stages of their planet, the entire surface was covered in fluorine gas. Somehow, the early organisms living there managed to adapt to it. Even more surprisingly, the fluorine continued to be produced, so that the fluorine that bonded to the carbon on the surface was replaced by even more.
As a result, everything on the Schnorikibix's planet breathes the stuff, including the Schnorikibix themselves. Fluorine has a few interesting qualities. Namely that it is the single most reactive and oxidizing element on the periodic table, can bond with even the noble gasses, sets most metals on fire simply by coming into contact with them, and is incredibly toxic to every living organism known to non-Schnorikibix. Because of this (and another reason I will get to later), no other species has ever met face to face with a Schnorikibix for a long period of time. A single hole in the Schnorikibix's spacesuit will kill a whole crew.
Faction History: The Schnorikibix lived in a faraway, isolated section of the galaxy. Only a few stars were visible with even their most powerful telescopes, and all of those were either dim dwarfs or raging supergiants that could never support life. They gave up the search for alien life hundreds of years ago, opting instead to harness the resources of other systems.
By the time that they finally came into contact with another sapient species, they had spent so long believing they were alone in the universe that they considered the existence of non-Schnorikibix life an affront to their religion. They promptly murdered every single member of that species and flooded their planet with fluorine gas, killing every organism on the planet. The Cult of Righteousness was formed as a result.
Since then, their goal has been to eliminate every other type of life in the galaxy. Their original religious fervor has calmed into a cold disregard and slight feeling of revulsion for all other aliens, the same way a priest might regard a prostitute. They treat the upcoming mass genocide as a matter of fact, discussing it calmly and casually the same way another faction might regard their new business deal. They're willing to work with other factions to achieve their goals, just with the understanding that "just because you're helping me kill somebody else doesn't mean I'm not going to kill you."
