In the spirit of naming species after internet subcultures, I present the idea for an 'Anonymous'.
Green skin, faceless. Generally, they have a personal number that is not shared.
When multiple anonymii are in the presence of a non-anonymous, they will actively try to confuse the non-anonymous. This is simply a compulsion, and can be resisted.
They are also generally hostile to people who embrace individuality.
I'm not entirely sure how their beds would be like, though.
Culture:
Their culture is heavily based on communism, with an emphasis on sharing. A job in which you can contribute is considered very prestigious, but only as a matter of personal pride (As the species typically dislikes outward displays of identity).
There are several castes, which act more like 'interests' or 'societal roles'. An Anonymous can typically be a member of multiple castes.
This ties in with the species' powers as well as their romance system.
An Anonymous can, within a certain range, exchange places with another anonymous that they share a caste with. On their planet, an anonymous can exchange with any anonymous at a moment's notice. In a session, they are limited to the other anonymii in their session. When switching places with another anonymous, only their minds exchange (Anonymous bodies are identical, and they will typically all wear the exact same thing) Note that game-wise, this doesn't affect their powers. While they might appear in their coplayers' godhoods, they won't be able to utilize the powers of a classpect not assigned to them.
