Xili

"Perhaps only evolution can break them free of their servitude to other, more advanced races."

- Antenocte

Xili (singular: Xili) are a race of aliens residing on their homeworld of Planet Cooler 092 (formerly Planet Xii). They are considered CR, or critically endangered on the endangered species scale.

Origins
Xili were first recorded around the 3 Million Before Age. Throughout their history, various autocratic civilizations and warlords rose to prominence. More often than not, this resulted in the horrific slaughter of millions of Xili, before the ruling class succumbed to bloody revolt. This pattern ebbed and flowed for a great amount of time, and was the main reason why Xili were unable to advance as a society. Coupled with their slow evolution, this meant that they went unnoticed until the after the formation of the.

Intergalactic Usage
The Xili were noticed by Cooler around the 500 Age. Being how low their power levels were, he didn't make it a priority to conquer them. A small squad was deployed around the 570 Age and eliminated all of the Xili leaders. The rest of the species was enslaved because they were too weak to become soldiers. Thereafter, Cooler set up a military outpost on the planet, and renamed it Planet Cooler 92. The Xili's main purpose thereafter was to not only mine resources, but to work in factories to produce scouters for the entire empire.

Around the 700 Age, a Faerin named Guva became the governor of the planet. Along with his lackey, a Leqiri named Payar, he would sometimes gather the Xili to take part in gladiator matches, effectively pitting them against one another, or some of his weaker soldiers, in battles to the death. This was the most effective way to control the population. After the events of the Planet Earth Saga in Dragon Ball Z: The Forgotten, wherein the Cooler outpost was laid to ruin, Guva went missing, and all soldiers of significant strength were killed, the Xili staged a planet-wide rebellion, which proved to be successful. They killed all Cooler Soldiers, though at great cost to their own populations. Later, when Guva returned to the planet after killing his wayward Banas, he saw the effects of the rebellion. In sheer anger, Guva used Extermination Rain to wipe out almost all of the Xili on the Planet. But due to the rage he was in, he didn’t accurately shoot the attack, and inadvertently let some of the creatures survive. There were less than fifty who survived his massacre.

Thereafter, the Xili population continued to exist, but were extremely fragile. The small population meant that, as time went on, a greater number of harmful recessive traits surfaced. The lack of genetic diversity means that eventually, the population could be hit by a virus or disease that could wipe them out entirely. Because of this, they are listed as critically endangered, and are expected to go extinct before the 1000 Age.

Appearance
Xili are coral-skinned, tall beings. They have wide, flat eyes, and no noses. They breathe out of holes on the sides of their heads, above and below their ears. They tend to have long, dark hair down the back of their heads in addition to large foreheads. Xili have six fingers and opposable thumbs on either side of their hands. They have only a few teeth, but they are large, filling their entire mouths. Male Xili tend to have streaks of purple across their skin, and the more flamboyant ones are considered desirable for finding a mate. Both the males and females have and extensively fortified bone-structure throughout their torsos. Compared to humans, they have about three times as many bones, and most of them are in their chest area.

Mental Traits
Xili are slow and quiet beings. While they do possess some signs of communication, their languages are very rough, and differ greatly between tribes. They tend to be slow to anger, but when they are, their fury is great, often disregarding personal harm for the good of their families. Xili are not often war-like, and those born with bloodlust tend to be able to rise in power quite easily. Because of their passiveness and cowering attitudes, they are often considered to be more animalistic than sentient.

Lifespan
Male Xili tend to live for 82 years. Females live for 88 years. Both males and females reach sexual maturity by the age of 15.

Technology
Xili technology is extremely limited. Being that they are a primitive species, they lack most signs of a civilized race. Their homes are either wood or clay huts. They lack plumbing and a centralized road system. Transportation is limited to rudimentary rowing boats and wheel-based carts. However, several Xili populations have managed to create irrigation systems to allow them to grow agriculture.
