Introduction
The Neki (pronounced "neck-key") is a mod about what it would be like for such a species to exist in the universe of Starbound. The attitudes of other species towards the Neki vary from borderline fanatic to extremely unpleasant, yet the Neki themselves see the world and its inhabitants in an innocent, wondrous and highly pragmatic way. To the Neki - things are just what they are, with little to no prejudice; the world is their playground and their dining hall.

If you're interested in learning more, it is highly recommended to play the Intro mission, inspect the world around you, converse with key NPCs more than once, and look out for their codices.

Origins
Opinions vary, but it is widely believed that the Neki were the brainchild of a renowned and eccentric, if somewhat deranged, entrepreneur of old. The tycoon's virtually limitless resources facilitated an extensive research program that would go on well beyond their own lifetime and employ some of the brightest scientific minds of a generation; its' findings, however, would remain largely unpublished. The research would end up being abruptly overtaken by the U.S.C.M and vanishing from the public eye practically overnight - with rumors of much of it having been stolen by the Miniknog surfacing not long after.

A little while later, the Neki would start appearing on Earth, seemingly out of nowhere, evoking a wide range of reactions - from outright repugnance to acute fascination. Despite their somewhat animalistic appearance and behavior patterns, the Neki have displayed remarkable sapience, craftiness and resourcefulness when compared to most of their Human counterparts, which led to many of the Humans treating them with a high degree of distrust, resentment and even outright hostility.

The Neki have a playful and often pesky demeanor, always looking for stuff to eat, places to sleep and things to play with. They stand out (among Humans) for having very large eyes and ears, as well as long and powerful tails. Short, soft fur in a variety of colors covers their body, and a lush mane stretches from their heads down to the tips of their tails.

You are one of the Neki.
How you ended up at the Terrene Protectorate Academy, is still unclear.

Indeed, it says as much right in the mod's description above :)

How would I live without these Neki wreaking havoc everywhere wantonnessly
GeekyRaptorStudios Jun 12 @ 1:45pm 
that was it.

Thank you so much! ♥^-^♥
I'm squeeing so hard rn >.<

@GeekyRaptorStudios: There's an item in vanilla Starbound with the ID wreckvat1 , perhaps that is what you are looking for?

Yess AndiBanandi put it perfectly! I'm loving my Neki playthrough for all the same reasons! And I felt genuine emotion when scanning many of the Apex items, seeing what my little Neki thought of them... such a fantastic mod, Juni!! :luv:

wasn't there one with broken glass and rusted metal? I distinctly remember there being one.
Juni  [author] Jun 3 @ 10:27am 
As far as I know, the Character Creation is hard-coded, and there isn't any way to add or modify any of its' existing functionality in vanilla Starbound, which something like this would probably require :(

I have a question, but first let me be clear this is not a request of any sort. Could the fluffier tail be integrated into the character creator? Like choosing a beak for avians, but for cat people? Just curious how starbound works.
