Alien OC competition

Hi guys! I want to host a competition for my series Mercenary Gu https://tapastic.com/episode/329556 . The competition is simple, choose one of the factions or races I've listed in this thread http://forums.tapastic.com/t/what-alien-races-do-you-want-to-appear-in-my-comics/11438/7 (be sure to scroll all the way down to see all the races) and create your own OC based on it. Show art and give a basic bio of the character(try your best to think creatively based on the information given/or lack their of given info about the race/faction you choose.

If you win that character you created will have a minor role in the next issue (and a slightly bigger role in a future issue) AS WELL as a cameo of your OC from your series appearing in the background.

There will be two winners, one is chosen by me and another is based on a community vote.

*Remember the races HAVE TO be either human or on of the alien races I've created (even the alien races I didn't jot info down for is good too) the OC can even be a mixed race if you want. I prefer if you use one of the alien races but human is still ok.
Examples of my comic series

If you need addittional info about factions or races let me know

What if they came from another planet but they are still basically human-like with the exception of thingies in their backs?

Currently I'd prefer it if the submission is based on any of the pre-existing races I've created, however it can a mix between two if you'd like, the limitations are meant for people to use as much creativity as possible. Currently the privilege of creating a new race goes to anyone willing to donate to the series.
But you may create that character you had in mind as a non-submission and post to my alien races thread and I'll keep it in consideration. Hope the rules don't seem too strict

But actually kind of think of it, if the character is a mutant human, I guess that could work. But unfortunately I'm not getting a lot(any) submissions on here anyway.

Haha I looked through all of the races hoping to see something like a regular Gray alien and was sad there was none, because I would have just drawn the alien from my comic Grayg!

Well now that you mention it there should be a standard grey alien in my series. Does it help that under Dotarian's helmets(which is not necessary for them to wear) they should look relatively similar to Greys...aside from the fact that Dotarians are six inches high and have adopted and localized mid-eval European culture with their own advanced technology.

Due to lack of responses I will post-pone this competition to begin at a later date, maybe when the comic is more popular, at least enough so to attract 5 entrants.
Anyone willing to submit anything in the meantime is more than welcomed.
