Physical description:
Lilote is intimidating to shit and back. Standing nearly eight feet tall and weighing roughly 275 pounds of pure muscle, she looks like someone who could crush you without breaking a sweat. Unlike the males of her species, she doesn't possess any bioluminescence, and her hair is a coal-grey.

Personality:
Stone-cold and aloof, she seems constantly preoccupied with something else. In fact, she is so preoccupied with her mission that often she has no patience for anything else. Which kind of renders her into a humorless dick.

Magic/abilities:
 She will punch you. Hard.

Relationships:
Semessa Hyro, late wife

History:
Lilote was a decorated career soldier, right up until an injury left her with a very pronounced limp. Forced into retirement, she became incredibly depressed, and would have continued to spiral into darkness were it not for a completely by chance encounter with Hyro, a high ranking city official. Hyro appointed Lilote her bodyguard, which pulled her out of her feelings of uselessness, and soon after the two became close friends. And then lovers.

Not too long after they were married, however, tragedy struck. Hyro was shot and killed during an assembly, to everyone's shock and horror. Even more so when it was found to be a rogue male. He escaped, and since then Lilote has been hunting him across galaxies, determined to see him beg for the mercy he didn't show Hyro.

About them aliems:

Hailing from a binary star system outside of ROTE's galaxy, encountering one of No Son's kind is extremely rare. They as a people have achieved interstellar travel, but have such loose systems of governance that expansion has not been a thorough topic of discussion. Primarily, their interest in extensive space travel is largely to do with potential colonization ventures, as their planet is not a resource-rich one. Typically, however, if you encounter one outside of their star system, you will likely be encountering a male.

In their native tongue, their word for themselves roughly translates to "hunter", as they are the apex predator of their planet, though they are more commonly (and somewhat derogatorily) referred to as Glowsticks. This is earned from the bioluminescence present on the males of their species.

They have a heavy kind of sexual dimorphism, where the males and females look vastly different from one another, though both sets of genitalia are present regardless of sex assignment. Assigned males tend to be smaller (averaging at 5'6"), more wiry, and possess the bioluminescence their kind is famous for. These colors tend to range from poisonous looking yellows to neon blues. Assigned females, however, don't have this bioluminescence, and are much, much bigger than their male counterparts (their average height is between 7 and 8 feet, and they pack on far more muscle). Regardless of gender, all of the Hunters possess a series of poisonous barbs along their spines, which normally lay flat unless otherwise provoked.

The social dynamics are also different in how males and females are treated. Males live in isolation, possess a flexible "territory" and defend it aggressively from other males, usually to the death. Females live in groups, and have formed their own governance, cities and all around infrastructure. As the males are kicked out of cities after they reach a certain age, and often die soon after, they are not named in the same way that female children are. They take their mother's name as a surname like their sisters, but instead of a proper given name, they are referred to by numbers (First, Second, etc.).

This kind of attitude also leads to their social conditioning-- the males are forbidden from certain things, so they either have to have a female acquire forbidden objects for them, or they have to learn to sneak them. This ends up being good training for when they're out in the wilderness and have no one but themselves to rely on. Because of this isolation, the males tend to rely on stealth and ambushing in their combat, whereas females have the bulk and the numbers for more open combat should they need to defend themselves.

Because of the high precentage of violence between males, and with higher and higher populations of them, many have taken to the stars to establish territories outside of their own planet. These are usually the outcasts, either because they couldn't hold a territory on their home world out of weakness, or they committed a heinous crime of some sort.
