Approved Character Araneae (Random alien)

I don't think this character makes a lot of sense.
  • It has a damage rating of Tier 8 in some parts, which is like a tank that can shrug off power armor aether weapons.
    • Compare to a Mindy power armor which is only Tier 4 or
    • the bio-armor of the Mishhuvurthyar which is Tier 3.
    • It's overpowered to a level I find inappropriate for the setting.
  • The history section is basically empty.
  • She has military/combat skills but no history to explain how they acquired those skills and isn't in a military.
  • No faction
  • No job/occupation
  • No plots
I think the armor should be reduced to something like Tier 2-3 or just don't list a DR stat for a player character and that you should add some history and figure out her place in the setting.
 
After further investigation, the character is rejected because it's basically Magmanta from the game Elsword as a Monster Girl from Monster Girl Encyclopedia, using an image that's an edit or AI remix of an image found on Pinterest.

The game character:

Bringing in stuff from video games is against Star Army's rules, so this character is rejected. I've removed the image from the wiki as well.
 
first of all I had no clue it was a remake of a character, I found that art and when I asked about edited art I was told it was mostly okay as long as it was altered somewhat when I asked about it, I remember asking cause trying to generate the form wanted (spider like centaur) wasn't generating at all on the AI generator being used which is why I asked about edits like this

it being from a game I had no clue about I just looked for a spider centaur pic to use to act as a seed for the AI generator
 
Looks like the history point has been addressed, though I wish it was a bit less generic such as a name of the system and planet (assuming they aren't suffering from memory loss). There is still the matter regarding the damage rating.

Because its' a random alien, we're specifically not supposed to name the species or planet or origin because then it's introducing unapproved stuff that should go through setting submissions.

I'd like to see the DR stuff addressed.
 
I thought the history explained why they are so high, they are meant to be a soldier caste of their race (can't go into more detail for a random alien due to the reasons Wes has stated) I assumed the Physical size and the fact that they are his strong isn't to far out there as DR is not dependent on size of weapon. but by her size she would be the size of a small vehicle, going into more detail of the race and why they have these adaptations would require the creation of a race.

Unless you want me to go into that depth to answer these questions? as I have this thought up in case she is asked in RP to explain things (as any writer shoudl have background things thought up for RP reasons)
