Archemidian
Archemedians are tall, lithe humanoids with pointed ears,
cranial horns, and skin of varying hues. Their society is founded on barter and
contracts which resulted in a race of very shrewd wheelers and dealers.
Archemedians always honor their contracts to the letter, but you might want to
check the fine print twice before entering into a contract with one.

Droid
Droids are sentient machines with a variety of appearances.
Some appear almost human, some are purely mechanical. They are built as
servants to their “masters” and typically fill the rolls of butler/maid, personal
assistant, mechanical repair and construction, and in some cases they are “personal
companions”. Advances in artificial intelligence have gone so far as to give
droids “Genuine Sentient Personalities” making it act just like a typical
sentient being. Rest assured that when your droid screams in a panic, it is
doing so at 150% efficiency.

beings. This gives him the Pacifist Hindrance (Major).
