so i been watching Inuyasha anime for a while now xD (guess you know where this is going) and i wonder if one could make a race with animal/monster features, and the choice to look rather human too (inuyasha and sesshomaru = google it if you dont know what i mean) and you get feared by everyone who sees you so they either run or attack you (maybe depending on how strong you are) i guess it can be set that other races are aggressive towards this race? mostly humans tho, monster races wouldnt be important much on this maybe and people would react like "its a demon! kill it!" lol (yes this is where i got the idea for my new weapon for, it just fits so dam well xD)
Just so you are aware - all your ideas will require quite a bit of lua coding. Not just simple Lua some pretty complex stuff. If you want to change into a monster you have to make that a tech. A Great Example is Star bender - http://community.playstarbound.com/resources/starbender.2952/ As for hostility - there is no simple switch - you will have to change the Lua functions to specifically do an action based on the species.
nono not the "change into a monster" haha tho now that you mention it, it would be kinda cool afterall but that wasnt what i wanted at first lolol and ohh i thought it was easier hmmmm badbad guess ill just play like i do right now the helmet kinda covers the face anyway so its not really visible what race it is, and since i slaughter everyone i see, i guess it counts as evil too xD and having the demon blade in my possession gives some impact to that too
