Race Name: Echeons (Male Left, Female Right)
ANATOMY/BIOLOGY
Types: Workers, Warriors, Hive Monarchs
Diet: Berries, Meat, Wood, Water, Honey
Male:
Average Height: 7 ft, 6 inches
Average Weight: 330 lbs
Average Build: Thick bodily structures, thickness varying depending on the type of creature
Average Lifespan: 180 years
Female:
Average Height: 6 ft, 3 inches
Average Weight: 235 lbs
Average Build: Thin bodily structure
Average Lifespan: 200 years
Extra: The average Echeon male resembles a beetle, while the females slightly resemble a praying mantis. Echeons have 1 heart, 2 lungs, 2 stomachs, a highly developed brain, 2-6 legs, 4 arms, 2 eyes, teeth or mandibles for their mouths. Males possess a thick exoskeleton which is resistant to extreme temperatures and blunt weapons (maces and warhammers do not affect them), and can also cause sword blades to bounce off of them, leaving pirercing weapons such as spears and bows as the only methods of stopping these creatures. Females possess a much thinner exoskeleton which grants moderate protection against cutting and blunt weapons, but not enough to completely protect against damage. Emits clicking noises as the main form of vocal communication, but also employs pheromones for mating purposes. Employs telepathy as a means of long distance communication.
Politics
Classification: Strict/Tyrannical
Political System: Echeon society is divided into castes. Workers are at the bottom of the proverbial ladder forced to submit to the orders of the Hive Monarchs as well as the Soldiers. Soldiers serve as the military and protective caste, taking orders directly from the Hive Monarchs, and are allowed to boss around Workers when they feel like it. Hive Monarchs are the top caste, those who rule over the swarm. Soldiers and Workers do their bidding.
Values: Obedience, Expansion, Affluence (wealth in minerals)
Religion: Imperial Cult (worships their leaders a.k.a Hive Monarchs as Gods)
Habitat: Forests, Caves, Jungles
Diplomacy: Unknown (will likely be bad, considering no one will be bale to understand them unless they learn telepathy)
Traditions: Lower Castes obey without question the orders of the Hive Monarch(s). Any disobedience, no matter how slight, can be met with a swift execution, followed my immediate consumption by the Hive Monarch(s). Soldiers typically carry khopeshes, and/or daggers. Workers typically carry pickaxes or shovels. Hive Monarchs wield (depending on the player) axes, swords, spears, or in rare cases, wands and staffs. The Female members of Echeon society are allowed to roam free, some choosing to serve as soldiers, most as workers for foraging berries and hunting small animals. Rarely, some Females will act as emissaries to other races, and a select few of them are able to speak the common tongue. Male Echeons are incapable of speaking the common language due to biological differences within their vocal systems, and due to the fact that the telepathic centers of their brains are highly developed more-so than their vocal areas.
Average Racial Stat Buffs and Debuffs: (based on a 1 - 5 scale)
STR: +2
DEX: -3
CON: +3
INT: +1
WIS: -1
CHR: +1
(Class stat buffs and debuffs apply directly to the racial stats, adding to or lowering the values)
In-game race abilities (RP abilities included)
Suggested Race Buffs:
Jump Boost I (to account for the lower body strength the Echeons possess)
Slowness I (it is reasonable that such a heavily armored race would move slower and hit slower as well)
Resistance I (accounts for the exoskeleton)
RP Abilities:
Vocal Ineptness: Unable to communicate vocally with other players, all that would be heard would be chittering and clicking sounds.
Hive Mind: Grants the player the ability to /msg other Echeons to give orders and request assistance, even across long distances, or to let them know what is happening with other Echeons or themselves around Caeda
Pheromones: Allows an Echeon to spread a pheromone scent which can cause mild fear, nausea, or attraction (attraction only on other Echeons)
Piercing Screech: Allows an Echeon to emit a very loud and shrill noise from it's mouth, which disorients those nearby who are not Echeon, and can even cause unconsciousness or temporary loss of hearing. (non-Echeon players within a 20 block radius will need to roll a 10+ to avoid disorientation)
I hope that the concept isn't too OP for you Aerys. This is my submission for the Mystery Race Competition, let the shrill screams of the Echeons ring!
EDIT: This is a Khopesh
EDIT: Altered racial stat buffs and debuffs and changed the wording and effects of the suggested OOC and RP racial abilities.
