Vox are a big bird-like species with quills and are much larger than other species. Sadly, not much else is known due to originating from The Shoal.
Lore
Unfortunately, due to various historical reasons, not much is known about the history of Vox, let alone if they have a home to speak of. Chances are, if you're a vox, you likely live in the Shoal or are from there; A vast majority of known Vox are from the Shoal, and because of this reason it is easy to assume that Vox are more aggressive, but this is not the case. Psychologically, Vox raised on Earth, Kalixcis, Teceti, and Reh’himl are exactly the same as other species, and have in fact outlived the average life expectancy of Vox by over five times, with some studies suggesting they may be able to live for a Millennium. However as the first interspecies contact isn't even 600 years old, it's impossible to prove this, and studying from within the Shoal is unreliable and extremely dangerous.
Perhaps someday the shroud on the Vox can be lifted, but for now its a mystery as it's not written down by the lorers. Yes, the writers are to blame. The writters actually blew up the Vox homeplanet. They're the villans of the storry.
Playing as a Vox
- Vox are somewhat prone to overheating under their layers of shaggy feathers and keratin spines, and many must take heavy accommodating measures to feel comfortable in a human environment.
- Vox have their own language known as Pidgin. Pidgin is highly annoying to those who do not understand it and mostly consists of horrific screeching sounds and repetitive skrawks.
- Vox can withstand the cold of the vacuum better and for longer.
- Vox are allergic to several common human medicines which makes treating them a challenge. These include:
You might...
- Hit your head on airlock hatches more often.
- Have trouble living in spaces made for the smaller species
- Shed quills every now and then.
Others probably...
- Be intimated by you due to your sheer size.
- Fall in love with you due to your sheer size.
- Request you speak in anything other than Vox Pidgin on the radio.
