Human

• Similar genetically to dwarves,
descendants of the same ancestors.

• Good all-arounders, scattered across
the population.

Automaton

Dwarf

• Extremely patient and stubborn,
similar biologically to humans.



Iron Dwarf
Some stuff about iron dwarves and stuff

Copper Dwarf
Stuff about copper dwarves.

Cyborg

A bunch of random information about
cyborgs goes here.



Biotech Cyborg

• Machine half is restorative; generally
an effort to keep a human alive.

Cybertech Cyborg

• Machine half is voluntary, usually
for improving one’s physical
abilities.

Sectling

Some more random info about Sectlings and
stuff.

• Cannot wear chest or back items,
though both slots may be
augmented.

• Have many weird-to-others social
habits, such as using their antennae
to show both compassion and
disdain, though those unaware of
sectling culture often find this odd.



Moth Sectling

• Has 2 meters of air travel. May start or
stop flying with an interrupt action.
When it begins a turn flying, it expends
3 stamina.

Wasp Sectling

• Extremely volatile, vicious, and
naturally violent.

• Has 3 meters of air travel. May start or
stop flying with an interrupt action.
When it begins a turn flying, it expends
5 stamina.

Roach Sectling

• Has 4 arms; may hold 2 2H
weapons or 4 1H weapons/shields
at the same time.

Ant Sectling

• Carry capacity is tripled (Strength
score * 7kg).

Oxtus

• Understands Utopian and Oxtus but
cannot speak. Rather, they can
speak to creatures mentally within
20 meters of them, given there is no
physical obstacles between them.
Creatures can speak to and
understand them, given the Oxtus
chooses to do so.

• Oxtii can read creature’s minds,
given they are thinking of
something with some level of
verbality.

• An Oxtus’s telepathy originates from
spores that they emit off their body.
The spores can speak wirelessly to
each other, sharing different signals
that allow the Oxtii to understand
other creatures and allow other
creatures to understand them.

• Little is known about Oxtii, and
some scientific minds find them “too
convenient,” in the sense that most
of their biological functions
represent what would be found on
Uto and Pia, even though they came
from another planet.

• Oxtii resemble plants and fungi,
even using photosynthesis and
spores as means of survival and
social interactions.

• Oxtii were born on Oxtane, a planet
like Pia in a solar system
approximately 4 lightyears away.
Their methods of travel are spoken
as “teleportation”, though no
technology has been explained nor
proven to exist.



Regal Oxtus

• Emits spores that affect other creature’s
hormones, often influencing attraction
in social events. This generally only
affects sentient creatures, not beasts and
low-intelligence abominations.

Astute Oxtus

• Has 2 heads and thusly 2 head slots and
2 neck slots, though neither head slot
nor neck slot may be augmented. As
well, their chest slots cannot be
augmented either.



Brazen Oxtus

• Passive by nature, but extremely
physically capable.

Occulant

• Modified humans originally created not
long before the colonization of Uto.
Meant to be, originally, super-soldiers;
strong warriors and intelligent.



Alpha Occulant

Gamma Occulant

Omega Occulant

Forgotten Occulant

Standard Interrupt Actions
The following actions may be used by any
creature on another creature’s turn.

Block
If a creature is subject to damage from a
source they are aware of, it may take the
Block action to roll its Block Rating with an
interrupt action. The damage dealt to the
creature is reduced by the roll.

Dodge
If a creature is subject to damage from a
source they are aware of, it may take the
Dodge action to roll its Dodge Rating with
an interrupt action. If the roll is equal to or
higher than the damage being dealt, all
damage is prevented.

Take Cover
If a creature is subject to damage from a
source they are aware of, it may take the
Take Cover action to double its Dodge
Rating for the rest of the turn with an
interrupt action.

In order for a creature to be able to take the

cover that is its size or larger.

Assist
When another creature within melee range
takes an action, a creature may take the
Assist action to aid the creature. The level of
aid the action-taking creature receives and
the number of interrupt actions required is
up to GM discretion.

Choke Spell
When a creature is within 1 meter of a
spell’s throat, they may attempt to choke the
spell with 1 interrupt action. They must
decide whether or not to attempt to choke
the spell before knowing what type of spell it
is.

To choke a spell, the creature must make a
Resolve test. If the test succeeds the amount
of stamina spent on casting the spell, the
spell is choked.
