Revision as of 11:55, 20 January 2023


This page needs to be reviewed/updated.
REASON: Broken links need fixing, also outdated AF seeing this is TG base and not updated for Skyrat
PRIORITY: Not defined
This article or section is a Work in Progress.
Assigned to:
Erol509
Please discuss changes with assigned users. If no one is assigned, or if the user is inactive, feel free to edit.

Since we can create any character, it is difficult to describe all races, and their appearance will depend on the user's preference. You can create any race you want, but you still have to choose a base race, and these can have different advantages or disadvantages. On Skyrat, these are the races you can choose at the beginning of a round. Since they are freely available, you should expect to deal with them almost every round.

Roundstart Races

Humans


Humans

The first option for creating a character, humans are the "default" of the gameplay standard of how most races are created and balanced.


Gameplay

You are basicly just normal human. Everyone starts as someone, after some time you will notice that everyone plays as furry character, full anthro or genemod. After a while, you will realize that there are few ordinary humans at the station. You will call bunny boy, or anthro tajaran cute, and became one. And thats how you will become furry

Diet

Likes: Fried food and junkfood, often combined into a heavenly form known as fast food.

Dislikes: Raw food and Gore.


Benefits

- None


Drawbacks

None at all.

Synthetic Humanoids


Synthetic Humanoid

Standard humans but synthetic; they look identical to their biological brethren, but possess robotic organs and limbs instead of flesh. They have a number of advantages and weaknesses.

Gameplay

Be a human but without complicated healing. Beat people to death whilst laughing as you cannot be poisoned by the Chemist. Cry when the chemist mixes uranium and iron together. Cry again when they bring your corpse to medical instead of Robotics. Cry when you cant use funny genetic mutations. Cry when robotisc dont know how to revive you, and does tend wounds surgery on you. This race allows you to use sound emotes like normal cyborgs (beep, dwoop etc.) You can name your character as you like, some people prefer robot related names like UNIT-34, R.E.I etc. And others use just normal names.

Diet Likes: Energy from APC's, Drinks made for Synths like oil, welding fuel etc. They can eat normal food, but that doesnt give any mood improvements. Dislikes: Water.

Benefits

Synthetic Humanoids limbs are easily readded, and dont require any surgery. Just pick your limb and pop it back in.

With this race you gain other language named: Encoded Audio Launguage

Synthetic Humanoid is oil, so this can make medical treatment a bit harder

Do not need to breathe.

Immunity to chemicals.

Immunity against viruses.


Drawbacks

Still immune to beneficial chemicals.

Stunned and severely burnt by any sort of EMP or Ion blast.

You are vulnerable to high and cold temperatures, you are not space proof.

You are weak to burn and brute damage.

Lizardpeople


Lizardpeople

Green, mean, and ready to *weh, Lizardpeople escape most of their prejudice from the wider worlds here, although some remnants of bias may still remain.

Within a department a lizard staff member may enjoy anywhere from almost equal standing to obvious racism and disrespect, depending on their coworkers. They enjoy no advantages beyond their striking appearance.

Their appearance and naming conventions are loosely derived from the Argonians, of Skyrim.

Gameplay

Name yourself Does-The-Gimmick. Set all your accessory slots and become an unrecognizable blob of pixels. Be locked out of important positions. Threaten the HoP with a lawsuit if he doesn't promote you to a Head position and get promptly lasered to death.

Make it hard to understand a word you say by hissing frequently.*weh until you hit the emote limit.

Diet

Likes: Fruits, Vegetables, and Meat, especially fresh meat. Sometimes even from tiny vermin that NanoTransian so graciously lets inhabit the station. Or the morgue, for the particularly cruel or culinarily inclined Dislikes: Grain, Dairy, really anything overly processed. Only the freshest will do if it can't be turned into Jerky. (Sadly, this means the finest of human culinary creations, like pizza or cake, is off limits. What a terrible existence it must be.)

Benefits

Memorable appearance. Solidarity with lizards staffmates. Lizardpeople take one third less heat damage. Lizard tails and hides can be used to craft sought after items like lizard wine, the Liz O' Nine Tails and lizard cloche hats.

Drawbacks

Likely target of racism. Noticeable lisssp. 50% more cold damage. Your lizard tail and hide can be used to craft sought-after items.

Teshari


Teshari

Very cute and interesting species. They are based on popular Avali race mod for Starbound. Thoes little creatures are short, and like to peep everywhere they are. They stay in groups, and as one you can easily found new friends. Basicly go to any teshari, and start to peep, and voilà, you found a new friend.

Most of the clothes dont work for you. Since they have custom body, every single sprite must be made from scratch. But dont worry, new sprites are regulary added, and they already have good amount off custom sprites.

Diet

Likes: Meat, Raw Meat Dislikes: Grain, Gore

Benefits You are more resistant to cold temperatures. They like cold. As a native language, they gain Schechi.


Drawbacks

They are vulnerable to brute and burn damage ( Brute: 1,2x Burn: 1,25x

They are vulnerable to high temperatures

Plasmaman


Plasmaman

Plasmamen are essentially reanimated skeletal corpses inhabited by Colonids, a microscopic, plasma-based fungi that can form into sentient networks.

Plasmamen have a hard time living on oxygen based space stations as they breathe pure Plasma as their air supply, thus they wear special environmental suits to protect them.

They have very heavy drawbacks, and must rely on their skill and respect to get by, but get many mechanical advantages unique to them as a result.

Gameplay

Make up 50% of the Engineering Department staff, take radiation baths in the Supermatter Engine. Stick out like a sore thumb when trying to be stealthy. Die in general.

Diet

Diet

Likes: Vegetables. Dislikes: Fruit, only the flesh is weak to scurvy.

Benefits

They stand out. Can use their bodies drawback of setting on fire offensively to scare off attackers. Welding visor that can be toggled on and off, which lets one weld safely and block flashes if necessary. Immune to cold, letting them spacewalk with only needing an emergency firesuit as the emergency firesuit protects from pressure damage. Immune to most viruses. Immune to radiation, no matter the severity. Can't bleed. Does not need to eat. They have lights built into their helmets which can be toggled on and off.

Drawbacks

They stand out, badly. Everyone will call you a skeleton They rely on a constant source of Plasma air to survive. If exposed to Oxygen, their body will catch on fire. 150% damage from brute, heat and fire. They are stuck inside an environment suit. [Replaceable by Hardsuit, EVA spacesuit, or emergency firesuit + firehat/pressure sealed hat] Can't drink or eat through helmet, so plasmamen are dependent on injections and patches in order to not take potential damage from eating. No easy ability to hide their identity, as their envirosuits are color coded to match their job. May get their helmets or envirosuit taken off by security stripsearching them, and as a result, die. Have to wear gloves at all times to not light on fire, which means if their arm is cut off and they do not have an emergency firesuit or evasuit to save them, they will burn and die when the gloves fall off. The AI and its minions are almost always free to maim or kill you if you are seen harming a human. Has no genetic code, meaning they cannot have genetic mutations. They can wear almost no unique cosmetics, and as a result are always bald. Plasmaman organs are rare, and thus not easily replaceable when damaged.

Mothpeople


Moth

White-faced insect people with wings and antennae. Be the Mary Sue you were always meant to be with a shitload of color 'themes' to choose from.

Gameplay

Get everything unique about you as a species removed by deranged people, but manage to sneak past a free infinite jetpack that never activates when you need it to. Turn into toothpaste when you hack a door wrong.

Diet

Likes: Vegetables, Dairy, Clothing. Dislikes: Fruit. Toxic: Raw meat, cooked meat, just don't eat something that moved and made noises.

Benefits

If your wings haven't been crisped, you can flutter around once gravity goes out. Your *scream sounds hilarious

Drawbacks

Your eyes are extra sensitive to light. Welding needs both goggles plus a mask and flashbangs REALLY hurt, even with sunglasses on. Badly hurt by fly swatters. [10x damage] Vulnerable to pest spray. [3x damage] Fire will burn your wings off, disabling its benefits. Nonsensical 'fluttering' speech tag.

Ethereals


Etherals

Walking lightbulbs that are named after celestial bodies.

Diet

Likes: Snowflake Ethereal food (High-power energy bars, empowered burgers). Electricity, whether through Cyborg rechargers, electric shocks, APCs, or indirectly through lightbulbs.

Benefits

They're walking flashlights. Even better when emagged. Deal burn damage instead of brute damage when punching things. Slightly resistant to electricity.

Drawbacks

They're walking flashlights. Can only regain nutrition by entering a cyborg recharger, by touching lightbulbs, touching an APC onCombat Mode , or through special Ethereal food. Vulnerable to brute damage.

Anthropomorphs


Anthropomorphs

Humanoid yet non-human mammals. Known as furries to most. One of the most common species you will see on the station.

They have identical stats and mechanics-wise, are identical to humans. They are only different in appearance and potentially the odd tail or two.

They are everywhere. You won't feel alone playing as one.

Diet Likes: Identical to humans. Dislikes: Identical to humans.

Benefits

Strength in numbers. Massive metagang. Appealing to most species.

  • woof

Drawbacks* Absolutely detested by some.

Felinids


Felinids

Effectively human if not for their ears and tail.

The absolute peak of human degeneracy. *nya until your ears bleed.

Diet

The same as normal humans. Dislikes: Furballs.

Gameplay

Metafriend every other catperson, every single round. Get lynched in the hallways by a mob while the authorities point and laugh from a distance. When in danger, get saved by backup suspiciously fast. Ahelp every transgression people do to you.

Get distracted by laser pointers, and cry about it forever. *Nya over and over again.

Benefits

Metagangs. Funny cat laugh

Drawbacks

Hit harder by flashbangs. Distracted by laser pointers. Felinids aren't allowed to have tattoos because it shames famiry. Are below beast races because they abandoned their humanity, as opposed to never having it in the first place.

Slimepeople


Slimepeople

Pretty much humans turned into slime.

Like slimes, they can split into multiple bodies, while retaining the same mind.

Powers Can split themselves to create spare bodies. To split they need to acquire slime jelly; (just make a plasma chamber and wait on it) they generate it either by being well fed or by taking normally toxin-dealing chemicals (which heals them, doesn't damage them). Normal toxin healing chemicals will remove blood and cause toxin damage at a fast rate. Reaching 1100 jelly volume will let them split once, and reset them to 600. They can swap between bodies at will; dying in their current body will send them to another body if they have one. Toxins heal you instead of poison you

Drawbacks

Being given anti-tox or any equivalent will basically instantly kill you Medibots will attempt to drive-by assasinate you

Gameplay

Be the specialest snowflake in xenobiology. Hang out with your only slime friends. Swap between bodies. Inject people with your poisonous blood.

Human Mutants

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.

Podpeople

Human blood, resurrected through a plant. Podpeople are rare to see, often only making an appearance if the doctors or defibrillators are gone. They thrive in light and can't survive darkness for too long.

Gameplay

End up as mister potatohead after getting husked and the Botanist is not stoned enough to forget he can clone, but too stoned to do a good job. Forget that you photosynthesise and grow obese in the light. Start vegetating with relative ease.

Remember that you're basically a walking matchstick well after you marched into a plasma fire.

Benefits

  • Gradually heals and gains nutrition in well lit areas.
  • Immune to plant-based hazards such as space vines and killer tomatoes.
  • Bees don't mind them.

Drawbacks

  • Darkness drains nutrition.
  • If starving, takes damage over time.
  • Easily eaten by goats.
  • Tendency to be overweight due to desire to stay in the light at all times.
  • Extra vulnerable to chemicals designed to kill plant life.
  • Takes extra burn damage and heats up quickly.
  • Mutates if shot by a floral somatoray in mutation mode.

Where to find them:

Flypeople

Walking abominations of mishmatched DNA caused by teleporter malfunctions. Careful use and upgrading of the teleporter can assure those that dabble with it don't end up in this sorry state.

Like the lizard races, there's absolutely nothing redeemable about existing like this, unless you just enjoy being a freak.

Gameplay

Annoy the chef for his cheese, vomit on his food and kill Pete because you need barf fuel muh self defense. Start getting voices in your head when you read the bee movie script over the radio.

Get lynched for attacking the botanist using pest spray, and get gibbed by the chef for 'no reason'.

Diet

  • Likes: Gross things, such as vomit. Get your crewmates sick and never go hungry again!
  • Dislikes: Anything with nutriment... the first time.

Drawbacks

  • Buz-zz-zing lisp.
  • Grotesque appearance.
  • Badly hurt by pest spray [3x damage].
  • CRUSHED by fly swatters [30x damage].
  • Their organs are unidentifiable.

Where to find them:

Jelly and Slime Mutants

These races are created in Xenobiology by taking mutation toxin.

Further intake has a chance to mutate a slimeperson into a Stargazer or Luminescent.

Jellypeople

File:Jellyperson male.pngFile:Jellyperson female.png

The proto-jelly race. Its subspecies all share the following traits:

Benefits

  • Anything that would deal toxin damage (for example, Plasma) will heal toxin damage instead.
  • Slimes will never attack them.
  • Able to speak the slime language.
  • Has slime jelly instead of blood, which is toxin if ingested by others.
  • Take half burn damage from any source.
  • Can grow limbs back using their slime jelly "blood".
  • Has slime lungs, "vacuole", which will regenerate blood (jelly) volume when breathing plasma. Still needs oxygen though.

Drawbacks

  • Lose limbs when "blood" volume goes too low, restoring some of it.
  • Take toxin damage from chemicals that would normally cure it. This also drains large amounts of blood.
  • Nonhuman to the AI.
  • Take triple damage from cold.

Where to find them:

Stargazers

Stargazers are the telepathic branch of jellypeople, able to project psychic messages and to link minds with participants.

Powers

  • Can privately and anonymously "send thoughts" to any target they see.
  • Can form slimelinks with any living being.
    • To form a slimelink, they must aggressively grab their target, then use the Link Minds ability.
    • Everyone in the slimelink will be able to communicate in it and hear each other.
    • Slimelink communication also works while unconscious or muted.
    • Slimelinks are broken by death; killing the Stargazer supporting it, or changing its species will unlink everyone.

Where to find them:

Luminescents

File:Luminescent male.pngFile:Luminescent female.png

Luminescents are versatile; they gain powers by consuming cores and activating them with their peculiar biology.

Benefits

  • Emit a faint glow.

Powers

  • Can absorb slime cores to gain special abilities. (You can find the various effects here)
    • Each core has a minor and a major ability.
    • Activating them has a cooldown instead of using up the core. Cores can be ejected and reused.
    • You can only have one core absorbed at once.

Where to find them:

Exotic Races

These races have very few ways to come about, and often rely on very rare situations to exist at all.

Golems aside, you will almost never have to deal with them, but should be aware of them all the same for when the time comes.

Golems

File:Agolem.png

Lumbering people of shining stone, golems are born into the servitude of their creators. While some will immediately gift these golems with freedom others will keep them close as assistants, bodyguards, or attack dogs. Golems do not have a will of their own unless granted one by their creator, and are not directly responsible for their actions if commanded. Free golems found on Lavaland function equivalently to their station-born counterparts; however, they are not compelled to serve anyone.

Golems have unique benefits and drawbacks, depending on the type of mineral they're made of.

Gameplay

Act like dumb ogre, smash the fleshy idiot humies and trigger gods. Escalate conflicts to deadchat with your ogre fists. Dish out justice with your ogre squad.

Kill people with your flashy radiation, and get banned for card golem counting.

Benefits

  • Spaceworthy, can't be dismembered and don't bleed out.
  • Immune to the effects of radiation and viruses.
  • Most golems punch hard and are highly resistant to brute damage, with some exceptions.
  • Have pocket-slots without wearing a jumpsuit.

Drawbacks

  • Bound to will of creator unless freed.
  • Most are much slower than humans.
  • Immune to injections and cryogenic drugs, can't give or receive CPR
  • Can't equip most clothing. Not really a drawback, since golems already have pockets.
  • The only guns they can use are Kinetic Accelerators with modified trigger guards.
  • Often prejudiced against and slain without mercy by the station at first sign of trouble.

For mineral specific benefits and drawbacks, see: Types of Golems

Where to find them:

Skeletons

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.

Benefits

  • Don't need to breathe.
  • Aren't bothered by extreme temperatures and pressure.
  • Have no blood to lose.
  • Are immune to the effects of radiation, as well as viruses.
  • Immune to item embedding and chemical injections.
  • Do not need to eat.
  • Can attach limbs from the ground without surgery.

Drawbacks

  • Loses limbs easily.
  • Too spooky for most to tolerate.
  • Immune to medical injections

Where to find them:

  • Space pirate ships, with wizards, on the station on Halloween.

High-functioning Zombies

Unlike the zombies you find in movies, these high-functioning 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.

Benefits

  • Don't need to breathe.
  • Can survive in extreme pressures.
  • Immune to cold.
  • Have no blood to lose.
  • Are immune to the effects of radiation.
  • Can attach limbs from the ground without surgery.
  • Immune to Changeling transmutation stings.

Drawbacks

  • Loses limbs easily.
  • Hard to understand.
  • Ugly.
  • Tends to be confused with the infectious kind of zombie.

Where to find them:

  • With wizards, on the station on Halloween.

Romerol Zombies

Rotted remains of former humans, brought way less back to life. Unlike the zombies you find in Xenobiology, Romerol zombies aren't just a human mutation.

They are aggressive by nature, and spread an infection when hitting other humanoids, causing them to turn into Romerol zombies on death.

They also won't stay dead as long as the infection is active and their head is intact: to stop them permanently, the body must be destroyed or beheaded, or the infection must be surgically removed.

If this does not happen, the zombie will revive at full health after some time.

The infection is concentrated in a tumor located in the brain. Should this tumor be removed surgically, the body will revert to a normal corpse, which can then be cloned revived.

Benefits

  • Same as regular zombies.
  • Strong claws that can even punch through airlocks.
  • Revives after death unless decapitated or gibbed.
  • Quickly heals wounds.
  • Can see in the dark.
  • Turn other species into romerol zombies on death.

Drawbacks

  • Slow movement.
  • Can only use claws to smash.
  • (Rightfully) feared and hunted by crewmembers.

Where to find them:

Shadowpeople

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.

They share many of the passive effects of Shadowlings, but none of their innate spells or abilities. They are far less a threat.

Benefits

  • Gradually heals in the dark.
  • Don't need to breathe.
  • Have no blood to lose.
  • Are immune to the effects of radiation.
  • Can see far in the dark.
  • Immune to viruses.
  • Won't get attacked by Faithless mobs.

Drawbacks

  • Will perish in the light.
  • Generally impossible to maintain a normal life on the station.

Where to find them:

Synths

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

Benefits

  • Immune to all chemicals but synthflesh.
  • Does not need to breathe.
  • Immune to viruses.
  • Can't be dismembered.
  • Does not need to eat.
  • Gains all the passive bonuses/immunities of the race they're disguised as, until the disguise falls.

Drawbacks

  • Usually valid. Expect the crew to attack you if you're revealed as synth.
  • Disguise falls if you take more than 25 damage.
  • Can only heal with synthflesh.

Where to find them:

  • Only if the admins gods spawn them.

Military Synths

A special type of synth. In addition to classic synths, it has:

  • 25% natural armor against all damages.
  • High punch damage, with 50% chance of stunning on hit.
  • Need to take 50 damage instead of 25 for the disguise to fail.

Androids

Humanlike robots, distant cousins of synths. While visually identical to a fully augmented human, it has some additional perks.

  • Immunity to pressure, cold and heat, can't be set on fire.
  • Does not bleed.
  • Does not need to eat.
  • Cannot be pierced by syringes or glass.
  • Can repair brute damage with welding and burn damage by replacing wires.

Drawbacks

  • Cannot heal brute and burn damage with conventional means.
  • Paralyzed and heavily damaged by EMPs.

Where to find them:

  • Botany random mutation toxin and other places (like the chapel via technopriest rituals)

Abductors

Ayy lmaos 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. If discovered by the station, the crew may try to communicate and make peace or deliver the Abductors to medbay/R&D for research purposes.

Benefits

  • Does not bleed.
  • Does not need to breathe.
  • Is immune to viruses.
  • Can use abductor-specific equipment.
  • Can see in the dark for short ranges.
  • Can communicate without restrictions with fellow abductors.

Drawbacks

  • Can't use guns, except the one they start with.
  • Cannot be heard by non-abductors when speaking.
