Proamonian

The Proamonians were a race of Near-Humans with unusual biology.

Biology
Proamonians were similar to Humans in terms of internal and external anatomy, but had a much lower body temperature. Their natural body temperature was -193° C, but they could survive at higher temperatures. At around 0° C they started to get weak and would have trouble breathing. At even higher temperatures or when exposed to direct light, they would start to melt and then evaporate. This lower body temperature meant that the touch of a Proamonian could be fatal for other lifeforms, causing severe frostbite.

Proamonians also had very long life spans, living for thousands of years with no apparent ageing. (DW: Dragonfire)

History
Around the year 1,997,000 CE, the notorious Kane-Xana group of criminals were plaguing the Proamonians. They were eventually stopped, but Xana was killed in the process. Kane was punished by being sent to Iceworld on the planet Svartos. Iceworld was a massive spacecraft that was attached to the surface of Svartos, but the power source, known as the Dragonfire, was removed and protected by a biomechanical Dragon. Kane was able to take control of Iceworld, turning it into a trading colony and hiring and buying mercenaries to help him take back Proamon.

2,000 years after Kane was exiled from Proamon, the whole planet was destroyed when their star went supernova. Though Kane eventually was able to obtain the Dragonfire, it was a thousand years too late and he was unable to complete his revenge on Proamon. He committed suicide by letting in the direct rays of the sun. (DW: Dragonfire)
