Biology and Appearance
Patrolians are fish-like in appearance, being covered in pale, pastel-color scales and possession numerous fins on their long limbs and face, as well as a notable dorsal fin which often required modified clothing to accommodate.
Thanks to their gills, Patrolians are perfectly comfortable breathing underwater as well as on land, and their physiology is also notoriously resistant to electric shocks - both likely throwbacks to life on their native aquatic world of Patrolia.
Society and Culture
Patrolians are a notably innovative and resourceful species, and many of their number have found their way into roles of the construction, maintenance and sale of technology.
Unfortunately, Patrolians tend to pursue these businesses in a shady manner, and most tend to operate such ventures in the criminal underworld, working as bounty hunters, thieves, fences, slicers and other such technically-demanding criminal roles.
Names
Patrolian names are usually multisyllabic and singsongy with lots of open vowels and few fricatives. Patrolians are not known to use family names or other second names.
