seems that Darkmax here thinks that i should go into a bit more detail aobut the crystaline growth on the ships ... not sure this is the right spot or not. someone care to relay the right spot for it?... i dont wish to offend someone or anyone by placing it onto the incorrect space.
*has recently been smacked by an immortal for the use of 'profanity' ...so watch the posts people ... they are probably still watching stiff i post.
thanks

Well, either open a new topic for the race+technology
or make it here.
But please... Not just bare stats. Hell, stats are the least
important.
Flavor text is better.
Adios

But still, one of the most basic rules for survival on any planet is never to upset someone wearing black leather - This is why protesters against the wearing of animal skins by humans unaccountably fail to throw their paint over Hell's Angels.

fine ... sorry to have bothered. that is ALL the info i had on the race when i made up the char/pilot for a game that she ended up being tossed out as being .. how we shall say .. as bing 'too flippin strong or what was really needed for the game. first her ship was TOO powerful .. and then .. she was TOO smart .. then it was revealed that the 'god complexed' one would be far outclassed, the final straw was directed at me.
so, as i said before, i WONT bother posting on here, as MY start.barebones .. is in fact just idle rolls out of the book. pardon me .. i'll take the tech along with me

it's related to ypur race, right? So put it here as an extension of your earlier post...besides, have you seen how far off post-topic we can get? There ain't no 'right place' where this bunch is concerned!

The last was a desireable demon-girl RCC, so here's the opposite....
Votoron
“Watch where you’re going, hot-stuff!”
“No, you pay attention to ME, and get out of MY way, cold one, or I’ll show you just how ‘hot’ I really am!”
The Votoron are a race of thin-statured humanoids who inhabit the hellworld of Voto III, a planet so intensely thermo-active and radioactive that even power armored sophonts standing on its surface are in danger of being fatally baked and irradiated in a matter of minutes. Why Voto III hasn’t simply exploded into a full-scale protostar is anyone’s guess, and how life, let alone sentient humanoid life, evolved on its surface, is one of the Three Galaxies’ minor mysteries. But it has, and the Votorons exist.
Like the Lurgess, the Votorons cannot move about in galactic society without suits of heavily insulated environmental body armor(bright red and orange, with opaque face plates). Votorons are so intensely radioactive, and their metabolisms so hot-running, that normal terrestrial room temperature is super-cold(and fatal) to them(akin to a human stepping out into hard vacuum)....and should their suits’ integrity be breached, the resulting spray-plume and pressure-pop of plasma-hot gas would incinerate bystanders. Whereever Votoron go, people give them a wide berth, and most authorities require any visiting Votoron to register, so that the safety officials can have their bomb disposal and hazmat teams ready.
For the most part, because other worlds are so inhospitable both physically and socially to them, Votorons prefer to stay in their home system, where a vigorous socialism-style government holds sway.
Still, however, the Votorons must conduct some trade with the outside cosmos, and some affluent adventurers or criminals do go awandering, looking for excitment and profit. Thus, a number of Votorons have shown up in mercenary forces and criminal gangs, using their volatile physical nature as a threat....Few SWAT teams are willing to storm a shipload of hostages if they think that a stray shot from a weapon could breach a Votoron’s life support armor and incinerate the whole vessel. A few Votorons are also known to have joined the Free Worlds Council as freedom fighters or mercenaries.
Alignments: Any
Lifespan: 90 years
Size: 4-5 ft tall, and about 150 lbs
Gender: Heterosexual(Males and Females). Give birth to live young(one witness to a Votoron birth described it as a ‘plasma pyre releasing a magnesium flare’), usually one, though twins are not uncommon. Juveniles stay with their families and never KNOWN to go offworld.
Physical Description/Appearance:
Outside of their armors, Votorons resemble skeletal-thin humanoids with glowing translucent skin, with white-hot glowing bones visibile within, arterial surges of purple-white energy creeping through their flesh, massive flat face/forehead. slit mouth, four glowing red eyes, and a halo-mane of blue-white plasma ‘hair’. Offworld, they typically dress in all-encompassing body armor with opaque helmet vision ports, and bright orange or red warning coloration.
Disposition/Attitudes:
Standoffish and cold. Many Votoron tend to be also fairly arrogant and bullying around aliens, and use the threat of their presence to get others to accede to their demands.
Physical Attributes:
IQ: 3d6
ME: 3d6
MA: 3d6
PS: 3d6
PP: 3d6
PB: 1d4
PE: 4d6
SPD: 3d6
(ISP)----
(PPE): 3d6
Hit Points: 6d6+P.E.
SDC: 1d4x100 SDC
MDC: By Armor(typically 80-250 MDC)
Horror Factor: The Votorons’ reputation as walking nuclear bombs gives them a H.F. of 16
Natural Abilities:
*Intensely Radioactive
Votoron are living nuclear reactors shimmering with energy; they themselves are IMMUNE to nuclear radiation, heat, and plasma weapons. Lasers, Ion Beams, and Particle Beams do HALF damage.
Breaching a Votoron’s protective armored suit is to unleash a nucleonic catastrophe....the initial explosion does 2d4x10 MD to a 50 ft radius, and unleashes a cloud of radiation products typically 80 feet in diameter(or more, depending on air currents)...the radiation does an additional 7d6 SDC/2d6 MD to beings caught in it, plus an additional 4d6 SDC/1d4 MD per half-hour of exposure in the contaminated zone for 6 days, with the radiation damage falling off by half (2d6 SDC) after that period, then half again (1d6 SDC) after 3 days, then dissipating to 1d6 SDC(and 50% increased risk of cancer) per DAY of exposure, for about a week before falling to background levels...unless extensive cleanup is carried out. Furthermore, supernatural beings caught in the blast of a Votoron will find their regeneration rates HALVED by the same schedule...until the radiation byproducts decay.
*Radiate Energy---Not surprisingly, Votorons can tap the energy in their own bodies for constructive purposes---using special thermal convertors in their body armor, they can tap their radiation and heat and convert it into electrical power. This means that pistol- and rifle-scale energy weapons and other gear(including light power armor) can be hooked up to them for unlimited shots/uninterrupted energy.
*Nuclear Breath---Votoron can unseal a sleeve of their armor, or a valve on their helmets to spew a blast of radioactive plasma( 50 ft range, 5d6 MD per blast, plus radiation damage;). They can only do this 4 times per day(needs at least 6 hours to build up enough pressure before they can do it again).
Psionics: None
Magic: None
Cybernetics/Bionics: None
Available OCCs: Pretty much any Men-at-Arms or Adventurer/Scholar classes...The most commonly encountered OCCs among Votorons found offworld are Fleet Officers, Operators/Engineers, Scientists, Spacers, and Military Specialists, but there are also a fair number of bounty hunters, Runners, mercenaries, and pirates.
Preferred Equipment:
Votoron travelling offworld must wear heavily insulated environmental body armor (minimum of 80 MDC, with a laser-reflective coating that reduces laser damage by HALF) that keeps them alive and others (relatively) safe from the Votorons’ body radiation. Votorons also like forcefields and energy blades, and especially weapons that can be powered by their own metabolisms. Votoron-modified vehicles tend to have 25% more armor and shielding(especially to contain radiation), and the powerplants will have far less shielding between them and the crew cabin(Votoron life support systems are described as being akin to a constant fission reactor meltdown).
Culture:
Socialist Isolationists----The Individual Serves Society; Society Provides for the Individual. Little interest in expansion outside their system(partially due to the fact that there is no suitably nasty worlds similar to their own to expand into). Technology is considered roughly equal to Triax/High Rifts Earth, with a more sophisticated spacefaring capability.

Another nice one your own source book should be just around the corner 
mate do you realize you have posted nearly 40 pages of text only races 
I'm being serious here I collected them all and keep updating the little file with each and every new one (don't worry its a personal copy only I send people that want their own to this thread 
). I use the same fonts layouts ect of the Rifter (or so I've been told by people that should know) for my little GM's Black Book and without any images and before making section headers or adding in any of my own notes you have 40 frappin wonderful pages of Races!
Seriously though Taalismn you should submit to the Rifter you have real talent and should be shared with the world beyond this board

(Bows) Thank you...but I consider Librarianship my REAL paying profession and this is just so sinfully fun I'd rather do it for free(later on in life I may regret this, but for now I am living the wild life...sitting in front of my computer, typing away stuff for hours on end...
)....Sadly it's come at the expense of time I once spent doddling...and now with my scanner, I'd be able to colorize, but when would I get anything else done?
Likewise, I collect and hardcopy the original material I get from YOU people out there...to the point I don't dare open my closets for fear of being buried under the stacks of paper there...Good thing free printing is a a perk of my job
So much to do, to read, to experience...but thank you for the vote of confidence on my abilities; it gives me something more to think about...

Enough sackcloth and ashes, man, you sound like me when I first started out! Back straight! Gleam in eye! Maniacal smirk on lips! Even if it's incomplete on paper, give the impression that what's still in your head is churning about like a mob of caffiene-doped Impressionist artists painting a nude model in a discotecque during an indoor special effects lighting show!
Okay...good, it;s shaping up...dunno if you're going to do any sphysical attribute stat modifications(I'd suggest a high PB rather than an Awe Factor for their fur...but maybe their fur REALLy is that spectacular), but you also got a lot of unique special abilities and psionics....
Hmmm.,..high tech, but they seem to have hunting and gathering as primary parts of their upbringing,,,they either have a low population density so there;s enough open room for everybody to go out and get SOME practice in stalking prey, or they set aside large tracts of land for the purpose(and use high tech agriculture to keep game stocked....like keeping NYC's Central Park stocked with pheasant...).
Shaping up well....

Go stock yer own central park. The kits would be a serious threat to, the pigeons and maybe the ducks ... but thats about it. maybe the crows as well.
These ones do a lot of their living underground ... due to the nasty weather ... =p

Oh bravo!
A unique racial weapon AND more flavor on these people and their environment! It's really coming to together once you get past those first stumbling blocks!
A killer yo-yo...beats the monomolecular cutter-yo I had in mind
I'd hate to see what sort of damage a 'walk the dog' move with this bloodletter would do!

I'd hate to see what sort of damage a 'walk the dog' move with this bloodletter would do!

Pizza...the perfect food...so simple, so all-encompassing....why doesn't it show up in the historical record earlier?

*thinks* ... well .. i'm glad i could think of something other than food just now.
k .. in the hands of a "master", who is standing on the hull ... does a power slam with this weapon.
that means its 1 attack .. and damage is usually doubled ..
so IF its a crit hit -=- it would read as such
[1d4+1]*2 - rotations [[ lets say its all maxed for this is much easier to see -=- [15d6]*2 - damage per rotation [ maxed again] -=- critical hit = double damage ... so
10*30d6*2 = 10*180*2 = 1800*2 = 3600 MD ...
[[err well i see i made a BIG error in my calculations here .. divide by 10. i multiplied it by 10 a second time when it wasn't needed .. so its only a MAX of 360 MD for just one of the weapons]]
ow .... and thats only 1 of the weapons in use
thats the damage for the 'walking the dog' ...
on a nat 20 crit on a power attack with the weapon ...
oh man, i think i scared MYSELF silly, anyone wanna run away with me now?

cause .... archeologists NEVER show interest in what the 'peasants' ate ... just what the ruling nobles ate. and THEY had all the money to import stuff ... like ... zebra's .. and ostriches ... and ... stuff like that .. so they missed out on all the awesome foods that the poor came up with. heck pigeons came from the poor cause the rich had all the bigger birds .. then they discovered the small snack sized cooked wonders from a poor person .. and things changed
it became caleld 'squab' .. and pricey .. and all it is? .. a fledgling that fell out of the nest tube and hit the ground
so .. make mine pizza sauce in fry bread with a hot slab of meat and i'll be thrilled
Pizza was originally Italian dole food...a way of getting surplus meat, bread, and cheese out to the poor in one quick ration....and that just took off(it's still considered to be lower-class food, but I'll take a well-stacked pizza over 'nouveau cuisine' any day)....
Amazing how even simple things can have such fascinating histories...
Though I'd like to know the culinary history of fugu...how many people died in experimentation before somebody decided it was a delicacy, and not something to be avoided at all costs? At least with pizza the mortality rate among 'test stomachs' is much, much lower....

That's because I'm watching...and comments like that are just ASKING for commentary...
That, however, seems to be how we get into trouble on threads like this...going from alien races to culinary delights, and it's only after somebody suggests an alien species AS a culinary delight that we get back on topic...

Oh Taalismn! I know where you got that last reference. You must have just seen a certain idiot pizza delivery boy thrown into the future who became a space delivery boy. He travels with an attractive one eyed woman, and robot who used to bend girders and still steals peoples wallets.
I know we all know this connection. I just had to say it!

No,....actually I was thinking more 'Muppets'.....

And the Peppernauts tend to be quite upset when people grap them and shake them vigorously....it's a vertigo thing...

Wine is impossible to exceed like 20%...
About that concentration of alcohol kills the
bacteria (which converts sugar to alcohol).
However, distilling wine can result in a drink
which can reach 96% percent (the theoretical
maximum for distillation cleaned alcohol).
But after distillation it is not wine anymore.
Call it cognac, metaxa, brandy, borpárlat, whatever...
But yeah, once I encountered some chinese
stuff (rose brandy?) with an 54% alcohol content...
Wasn't that hard but the aroma made my eye water.
Literally. For long-long minutes.
Famous Grouse however is a bird that haunts me

Hangover and alcohol content is not
connected.
What you drink, in what combination
and what you eat is more important.
Just sipping on a good scotch means
a slight lag with reality next day (maybe).
A few shots of it AND lager means
at least four aspirins just to reach
the level of the Homo Erectus.

Now what we need is an alien race whose metabolism runs on alcohol, and to whom the prospect of sobering up is horrifying in the extreme...
Such a species would have a racial drive to sample every alcoholic beverage in the megaverse, have a liver strong enough to act as a city water filter, be able to project blue flames, and have the tendency to trigger police alcohol tests even from a distance...
Their major imports would be potato, grains, grapes, and other fermentables, their exports would be anything that wasn't immediately snapped up and drunk already(or maybe they export high potency fuels)....

Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment,
To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger,
And the Turning of a Page"

"Trouble rather the Tiger in his Lair,
Than the Sage among his Books,
For all the Empires and Kingdoms,
The Armies and Works that you hold Dear,
Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment,
To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger,
And the Turning of a Page"

Coala bears?
But still, one of the most basic rules for survival on any planet is never to upset someone wearing black leather - This is why protesters against the wearing of animal skins by humans unaccountably fail to throw their paint over Hell's Angels.

Hangovers:
Well, part of the experience comes from alcohol poisoning,
that is true. But drink also contain other agents beside of
the goold old ethanol - methanol, and other alcohols.
The lower the quality, the more of these stuff.
Usually not enough to blind or kill (thought there are examples
of even this, from moonshining - ie. household distillation
without proper know-how), it will make you regret every
drop you drank yesterday.
And that can happen without actually getting drunk.
Also, getting the proper amount of alcohol into the
body is just one part of the trick.
How fast it will enter the bloodstream, is another.
It depends on food consumption, speed of drinking,
and how concentrated it is. Funny thing, that alcohol
needs some amount of water to enter the bloodstream,
therefore the ouzo effect (get drunk from ouzo tonight,
and drink a glass of water tomorrow morning - it will
hit again, with a vengeance)

As for coala bears:
They are on a toxic diet (eucalyptus leaves) - ie constantly
in a state best described as drunk.
