Guide to races: Difference between revisions

===[[Humans]]===

[[File:humans.png]]

 

On the station humans enjoy a degree of superiority over other races, everyone you meet in a position of power will generally be a human. By default, the [[AI]] will apply the protections of its laws ONLY to humans, though they may extend that protection to other races out of preference provided doing so doesn't harm humans. Should a conflict arise between a human and another race, expect the AI to take the human's side.

*[[Robotics]]

Over the course of a shift, you or someone you know may lose their humanity. These races are not born, but made. These players are less likely to be the targets of racism, as many may simply acknowledge their former humanity, but are none the less NOT human anymore.

 

===Slimepeople===

[[File:slimepeople.png]]

 

Former humans who were converted to jelly by mutation toxin thus, becoming jellypeople. Many scientists working in xenobiology will undergo this mutation willingly to work closer with their slimes, but others may mass produce the toxin and try to push it on others. Their bodies are composed of a toxic slime, which shouldn't be consumed by other races.

 

 

*Can grow limbs back using their slimelike blood.

**Can split themselves to create spare bodies.

*Immune to item embedding.

*Immune to chemical injections.

 

 

 

 

===Skeletons===

[[File:skeletons.png]]

 

The skeleton within, unleashed! Somehow still alive, a skeleton is just a sack of stark white bones. Clattering spooks, due to their supernatural qualities they're almost always associated with wizards. Skeletons enjoy a wide selection of useful immunities, just don't expect the crew to ever enjoy looking at you ever again.

 

 

 

 

*Immune to medical injections

 

 

*With [[wizard|wizards]], on the station on Halloween.

 

[[File:zombies.png]]

 

Rotted remains of former humans, brought almost all the way back to life. Unlike the zombies you find in movies, these zombies don't crave your brains despite what they might be compelled to say sometimes. It's perfectly possible to coexist with these zombies, though understanding their slurring speech might drive some to wish it wasn't.

 

 

 

 

 

 

*On the station on Halloween

 

[[File:shadowpeople.png]]

 

Cursed beings of darkness, shadows that cannot exist for long in the light. They skulk in darkened maintenance corridors or in workplaces with intentionally destroyed lighting. They are not intrinsically evil, but still invoke an understandable level of mistrust in pretty much everyone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[[File:Changeling.gif|96px]][[File:Synth_revealed.png|96px]]

 

Humanoid robots, disguised as an organic race. When damaged enough, their fake flesh will fall off and has to be repaired with synthflesh.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[[File:Androids.png|96px]]

 

Humanlike robots, distant cousins of synths. A similar result can be achieved by fully augmenting a human.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[[File:Abductor_base.png|96px]]

 

Alien beings sent here to probe the station's crew. They cannot speak normally, but instead use a special frequency tuned to their mothership: different abductor teams have separate channels. Abductors created in different ways share a common abductor channel instead, and cannot hear natural abductors.

 

 

 

 

*Cannot be heard by nonabductors when speaking.

 

 

 

[[File:Golem-party.png|192px]]

 

They function equivalently to their adamantine counterpart; they are made in Free Golem ships by completing printed golem shells. Unlike adamantine golems, they are not compelled to serve their creator, and can be made out of different minerals, althought that will only change their appearance.
