Skills - Racial

Skills that all members of a race have that can be made better through training.

Arix

Refined Musculature

You're strong for your size, and as your ability grows, so does your strength, eventually reaching twice what a baseline human of your stature could reach. Risks include the possibility of muscle separation and breaking your own bones with the strength of your muscles, risks which increase as your experience in this skill rises.

Binut

Splice Glow

Splice Eyes

The Binut have sensitive eyes that can see in the infrared zone, similar in many respects to the Augment Skill Ken Modality. At first, this skill simply grants infra-red vision and enhanced night sight. As the Binut grows older, many find that their eyes structure slowly alters, allowing them to pick out consciously small details, even expanding into further into the spectrum, allowing them to see in ultra-violet or pick up thermographic signatures.

Caspiez

Equilibrium

The internal composition of the Caspiez body allows them to shrug off the shifting magnetic fields, gravity fluxes, and solar anomalies more easily than normal humans and other planet-born races. When most fall - disoriented and unconscious the Caspiez are known to remain standing, often times the savior of an otherwise doomed ship trapped in the ebb of space. Similar to the Augment Skill Equilibrium, though the Caspiez can be considerably more accomplished at it than any of the other races.

Hibernation

On average a Caspiez can hibernate for 3-4 days, lowering their bodies metabolism so that they can survive for an extended period without breathable atmosphere or nourishment. In some rare cases, a few Caspiez have entered long term hibernation lasting for months at a time. Such an extreme is quite rare, however.

Desh

Refined Musculature

You're strong for your size, and as your ability grows, so does your strength, eventually reaching twice what a baseline human of your stature could reach. Risks include the possibility of muscle separation and breaking your own bones with the strength of your muscles, risks which increase as your experience in this skill rises.

Phirrus

Natural Grace

You can react like a cat or snake. Increasing skill decreases your reaction time, increases nerve structures related to motor control, and increases efficiency of your motive structures. However, your reflexes quickly outpace your thought processes, and your body tends to react via muscle memory long before you realize what's going on.

Vesuvian

Tough Skin

Your skin is tough, thick and callused. While it's not exactly smooth and pleasant to the touch, it does provide protection against most common environmental hazards, like acid rain, or brief spurts of steam.

Energy Resistance

This ability alters your skin, offering increased energy resistance. While it won't replace real armor, it reduces the damage you take from common fires, and offers a modicum of protection from energy based weapons.

Impact Resistance

This ability alters your skin, increasing its resistance to impact damage and physical abuse. It won't replace true armor anytime soon, but it does offer a significant degree of resistance in hand-to-hand combat.
