If you haven't heard yet, I am from the planet Rog. Now Rog is a planet of snow and ice and coldyness. Beautiful purple skies and bright blue grass. The Rogians are any shade of blue/green, just like the Humans are any shade of brown. They haven't really developed a sense of clothes, but they're reproductive system is different soooo... anyyyywaay, they're not necessarily a primitive race, they're pretty heavy on technology. Each family has a name of what ability they can do. My family was the Breathers, (we could suck breath out of people... basically killing them) each family has their own special ability and whenever a family forms they're ability is picked FOR them randomly. Yeah, I wanted to be a Flyer... but no, I'm stuck with being a killer! Don't worry I never use my ability in hostile ways. Some Rogians have ability to HELP the player. Like if one of them is a Tooler, they could maybe upgrade or make tools for the player. Or maybe a Gamer (lol) could play sports or video games or board games with the player. Whereas a Blooder would try and suck the blood out of the player... and kill them. And as I said before, they're pretty good with technology, so if the player needed help with say, engineering, somerog could help them. That's pretty much it! Hope the devs see this and implement my home into the game. Oh, and also, here's some sprites: This is me:
I wasn't meaning for it to be a playable race, but I'm sure if the devs did some work on them they could do it.
Well they couldn't do the whole idea with the families where some can fly and some suck life from people because that would be far to complicated and OP, and I wouldn't hear otherwise on the matter because if it is not OP then there is no point for it at all really... The fact that this is the base idea of your race makes it fairly un-workable. I'm sure they could do it too, easily, but it would just be a blue skinned human in the end.
Well, families can have ANY ability, so they could just put in really lame or really OP abilities to fit with the game.
you could just have a randomized trait kinda like the ones in fallout, like 10% speed but weaker limbs or something
Oh mah gawd, I love your roleplay. Your race is interesting and I would love to see this race in game- but not playable. Anyways, have a cup of cocoa.
I prefer my sci-fi to be on the harder end of the scale, so a race that has unexplained abilities based solely off of a name isn't my thing. If there were a reason why the name affected these abilities, I might like this better. It's clearly not genetic, as new females would cause other abilities to merge into the family, and if all breeding was done ( ugh ) within the family, the gene pool would go stagnant and cause the extinction of this race.
