==Naming Conventions== | ==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 individuals who have been replica pod cloned, you may have a Human, Lizard, or even Ethereal name. | Phytosians are often named after various plant species and also usually relate to their color.

== | == Unique Mechanics== | ||
The most | |||
* The most unique trait of Phytosians is their dependency on light. Well lit environments grant Phytosians unmatched regeneration, healing toxin, oxygen, brute, and burn damage. | |||
* When in a well let environment, Phytosians will regeneration heals toxin, oxygen, brute, and burn damage, but it does not work while a Phytosian is unconscious, so it will not save you from hard crit, and is balanced by significantly increased damage from many sources and reduced movement speed. In darkness, a Phytosian will slowly take oxygen damage until they die or find a sufficient light source. Containers like lockers, morgues, and disposal chutes are too dark for Phytosians to survive in for long periods without the area being lit externally. | |||
*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. | *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== | |||
*Light also provides nutrition for the Phytosian. During most rounds, a Phytosian will never have to eat, and minor injuries can be completely ignored, as your body will heal itself quickly. | |||
* | * 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== | ==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. | * 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.

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

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

*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. | *Alcoholic drinks cause brain damage, toxin damage, and confusion, in addition to their normal effects.
