Revision as of 15:09, 25 February 2009

Only recently have the plant people made their appearance on Earth. They have spent a majority of their trip to the planet scanning it's surface, and plotting it's geography on their mapping systems. The Earth has been added to the data banks of the Stricta Plantae and now they are ready to make themselves known to the people of earth.

Origin & History

The species comes from deep within the galaxy. They’re planet is covered in natural sunlight 24 hours every day. There are 3 suns that orbit the planet. There society is highly conservative, and is lead my a semi-monarchy, where the ruler makes a decision and then the noble houses vote to it’s resolution. Technology is highly advanced on the planet. The Stricta Plantae have developed robots to mine and work underground. The people often build virtual intelligent machines to do their menial task’s. As such it isn’t unlikely to find a robot of some type accompanying them. The species is not inherently war like, preferring a quick conflict resolution without any violence. But in recent times they have been known to unleash weapons of power unlike most in the galaxy.

Major Racial Advantages

Tech Bias: Excellent
Gain Rate: 3%

Cybernetics: The alien species originally comes from a planet that is orbited by 3 suns making solar energy abundant since there is no night. Since space transportation and the need to explore the galaxy the species have developed a way to gather and store energy via nodules placed about the sub dermal layer of the plants skin. The species has enhanced this technology to absorb and convert other energy types into usable power. The race can take a tech action to convert up to twice their natural charge in energy to Stamina/Durability. They can also use this energy to discharge an energized blast at natural charge.

Regeneration: As long as the character has stamina they can take a full round doing nothing more and convert stamina into durability. This even heals, and re-grows limbs. If they have time to rest, and if exposed to sunlight then they can recover from incapacitating wounds within days(Every incap day counts as 2). Regardless of damage taken the sun’s ability to nurture the race boosts it’s health exponentially.

Major Racial Disadvantages

Weakness to Toxins: Because of the way the plant people are physically composed any sort of toxin/poison act's twice as fast and deals twice as much harm as usual.

Part Machine: Any type of electrical attack causes the cybernetics to go haywire. Stricta lose use of there Cybernetics for one turn in which they are struck with an electric type attack.

Weakness to Burn: Being adapted to a very hot planet does not mean they like fire. Stricta suffer twice the amount of burn damage in an initial round of burn. [IE: 87 burn over two posts deals 174 damage in the first round and then normal damage the next]

No common blast: No Stricta comes with a common blast technique. They have to physically convert other energy types into usable blasts in order to achieve such an attack.

Overload: The Stricta can only absorb so much charged energy. At anytime they have more charged pool of energy due to Cybernetic absorption than 3 times their PL the race starts to overload causing natural charge in damage each turn until the pool is regulated, or is used.

[Created by: Dashizer. This is an unapproved Minor Race. I would love to get comments as to how to get this race approval/more full of flavor text.]
