Variations
The benefit of being such a physically and emotionally fragile species are that Cinrusskins are masters of psychological manipulation. Not only are their iridescent wings and bodies beautiful, but their ability to sense what other people want and give it to them gives them both Empathy and Charisma. They also have a limited mind control ability, which allows them to improve the mood of anyone nearby. Even people naturally repelled by Cinrusskin cowardice and seeming inability to stand up for their interests find themselves liking them despite themselves. Over time, Cinrusskins can reassert control of a bad social situation by turning their enemies into friends, then making their new friends feel bad for hurting their feelings by not taking their needs into consideration. This makes Cinrusskins some of the best diplomats and "soft-sell" sales-beings and customer service representatives in the galaxy. Those with the courage to leave their home planet make great doctors, psychologists and negotiators. Their ability to sense life and emotions at a distance also makes them natural rescue workers, but very few can withstand the constant psychological stress of being in dangerous situations filled with scared and injured people.
