Rayux

Overview
Appearance The Rayux are bipedal, and have golden scales. They appear to have evolved from fish-like organisms, as they have two fins on their backs which are useless, having no muscles attached. They have three eyes on both sides of their heads. Two smaller eyes behind the main one. (Six eyes total)

Biology Rayux are 8 feet tall and weigh 220 pounds on average. Eating is accomplished by four segmented tentacles emerging from the lower face, these "absorb" food at a slow rate. Not much else is known of Rayux biology, as they are very secretive about it.

Society The Rayux are extremely hostile zealots that are all part of a unified religion with no name. Any people who are not part of this religion are either executed or turned into Rayux Fanatikers. The Rayux have no care for preservation and will use up any resources available. They are a Type II civilization.

​Origin The Rayux come from somewhere in the Andromeda galaxy, exact location is unspecified.

Religion The religion-with-no-specified name is to not be always referred to as "the-religion-with-no-name", as the Rayux are fearful that it will become a sticking title. Other names include the-religion-with-no-specified-name, no-named-religion, anonymous religion, and etc. The Galactic Linguistics Counsel has determined that their religion is to not be capitalized when referred to.

The Rayux believe that during the start of the universe, there was a massive temple, several galaxies large, named Xuyar. The temple was both living and not-living. The temple itself was said to be inorganic, but several organ-systems and organic appendages were inside and outside of it, and worked to make a mostly inorganic object alive. Xuyar's center was said to be so "unholy" that anyone who ventured far enough inside would go mad.

Xuyar created everything, starting with its first race, which it planned to use as slaves. It gave them its name backwards, Rayux. Xuyar then forced them into slavery, and memetically brainwashed 3/4ths of them. They were given a strange chemical from Xuyar that converts other organisms into Xuyar's "great-spawn". They were also forced to kill non-believers, and for every non-believer they kill, they have to turn two more into Xuyar's great-spawn. (also known as Fanatikers) Xuyar said that it would leave "this world" to go to others. Before this happened, Xuyar stated that his following should not be given any name and that the Rayux cannot abuse the chemical for their own purposes.

A significant portion of Rayux do indeed believe in their religion but only out of fear. Another portion doesn't even believe in their religion but goes with it anyway to avoid being turned into a Fanatiker or killed.
