[Shadestorm]

Name: Raz 583

Gender: Male

Age: 3rd Molting ( 21 )

Occupation: Silk Spinner

Species: Gulchi

Species Description:
The Gulchi body is long and tender, ranging from blue to gray in color. The Gulchi move his/her body through his many triangular feet, that vary in size depending on the distance away from the head.

Gulchies have one large and one small eye that can look at different angles at will. The gulchies small mouth is lined with 'spinners', external fangs that produce silk, not venom.

And, to manipulate object thorughout the world, a gulchi has four long, single jointed, arms. A gulchies hand has a finger and a thumb.

Species History:
The Gulchies have long been in silk spinneries around Oddworld. Because of the Glukkon's severe allergies to any plant or Meep based cloth, they have resorted to capturing Gulchies to spin silk for them.

Species Talents:
Primarily a Gulchi can manipulate the silk they spin. They produce this silk through consumption of spooce pods.

Unspun silk, or raw silk, has many fibers jutting from the smooth strand. This causes it to be able to latch onto anything that isn't smooth.

As Gulchi Silk is naturally "shot" with propulsion from the 'spinners', it is possible for a Gulchi to propell silk onto a near ledge, and when the silk is latched, climb on up.

Because the Gulchi legs are not ment for quick travel and are not strong enough to produce anythin equivalent to a jump, climbing raw silk is the natural traveling system for the Gulchies.

Motive:
Because of demands of more silk in Oddworld, treatment of Gulchies were never that good, recently however, the Gulchies have advanced from slave, to partners of the Sligs.

The Glukkons have found that Gulchies more efficient than Sligs because the Sligs require bionic legs, eyepeices, and weapons, while Gulchies have a natural weapon and need nothing to trap trespassers in a thick cocoon.

Now, corruption has begun to erupt among the Gulchies, they have used their power to bring hatred among their family and friends who weren't 'bad' enough to be promoted.

Raz, a member of the Soldier Gulchies, has relized his species corruption. Hoping to save himself, he quickly signed up for a post close to the exit of the factory he worked at.

When the Sligs were sleeping, 'shot string' as quickly as he could to get out of there.

And that's where his adventure will start!

I hope you like my developed character and species. I plan to use the Gulchies as much as possible to be a possible candidate for the REAL Oddworld games.

Good Luck to Everybody else!
