PHYTOSIANS
File:Phytosian.png Phytosian	Genus: Plantae Sapien Homeworld: Phytosia Central Authority: Commonwealth of Orion Allowed Command Roles: Research Director, Chief Medical Officer Guides: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant

Born on the planet of Phytosia, you are a distant relative of a vestige of humanity long discarded. You are a humanoid plant, your race was brought into existence by the mythical Replica Pod plant that can create life from a drop of blood.

Gameplay

Naming Conventions

Phytosians are often named after various plant species and also usually relate to their color. An orange Phytosian might be named Carrot, or a yellow Phytosian Daisy. However, since Phytosians are also potentially any individual who has been subject to cloning via replica pod, you might have a Human, Lizard, or any other race's naming scheme.

Unique Mechanics

The most unique trait of Phytosians is their dependency on light. Phytosians in well lit environments will see myriad of benefits, while an absence of light may spell death.

• While in a well let environment, Phytosians will regenerate quickly. healing toxin, oxygen, brute, and burn damage, but this effect does not work while a Phytosian is unconscious, so it will not save you from injuries that leave you in critical condition.
• In darkness, a Phytosian will slowly take oxygen damage until they die. Containers like lockers, morgues, and disposal chutes are too dark for Phytosians to survive in for long periods without the area being lit externally.
• Turning on your PDA flashlight is hardly the most effective means of creating light, but it could be the difference between living, or dying to darkness.
• When thralled by a Shadowling, Phytosians lose their innate healing in light and damage from darkness, and instead regenerate slowly when within three tiles of a Shadowling.

Racial Benefits

• Due to Phytosian's benefits from light, trips to the kitchen for food and visits to medical for minor injuries are often unnecessary.

• Phytosians are part of the "plants" and "vines" factions, making killer tomatoes, pine trees, and venus human traps passive toward them.
• Phytosians can speak the Sylvan language, which is the ancient language of plants and plantoid creatures.

Racial Drawbacks

• Phytosians take twice as much burn damage from most sources, double damage from acids, and 50% more damage from being too hot or too cold. At very low and very high temperatures, including those found in cryo, Phytosians will not heal from light, making cryo potentially deadly if there is no cryoxadone present.
• When inside of a mech, the overall damage regeneration of a Phytosian is reduced, and toxin damage regeneration is cut in half.

• When attacked by a goat, a Phytosian will instantly have their struck body part dismembered, or in the case of the torso, organs spilled.

• Phytosians move slightly slower than an average human, making them potentially unable to escape a persistent attacker.

• If mood is enabled, a Phytosian will often receive the "I'm so fat" negative moodlet, making them slower than usual.

Racial Chemical Effects

Phytosians have many unique reactions to fertilizers and other related reagents in their system.

• Plant-B-Gone deals toxin damage.

• Saltpetre heals burn and toxin damage

• Ammonia heals brute and burn damage

• Robust Harvest heals toxin damage, but causes toxins to last twice as long as normal in phytosian's systems.

• Left-4-Zed heals burn damage, but causes toxin damage and harmful mutations in Phytosians, similar to unstable mutagen.

• EZ-Nutriment heals toxin and oxygen damage and stabilizes Phytosians in critical condition. It is also addictive at 15u, with withdrawal causing oxyloss.

• Diethylamine heals brute, burn, toxin, and oxygen damage but overdoses at 20u, causing heavy toxin damage.

• Sugar doubles natural healing in light, but also triples damage in darkness. Phytosians enter hyperglycaemic shock much earlier than humans, overdosing at 40u.

• Alcoholic drinks cause brain damage, toxin damage, and confusion, in addition to their normal effects. Strong drinks, such as Beepsky smash, cause much heavier toxin damage and extreme sleepiness if they stay in a phytosian's system at high levels for an extended period.

Racial Diet

• Light
• Fruits, Vegetables, and Grains

• Dislikes Meat and Dairy
