Mdempg: Changed the list of Common Abilities

{{Stub}}

During your time on station you may find yourself face to face (or face to mirror) with the not quite human. Be they aliens, mutated humans, or self aware constructs you're expected to try and coexist on this deathtrap. Learning their quirks can be key to knowing how to keep them amicable in times of peace, and easy to put down in times of strife.
[[File:SpeciesOverView1.png|center|frameless|500x500px]]
Delta-V features a diverse array of playable species, including Arachnids, Diona, Dwarf (removed from Delta-V at the moment), Humans, Moth People, Reptilians, Slime People, Vox, I.P.C.(Integrated Positronic Chassis), Thaven, Vulpkanin, Felinid, Harpies, Oni, Rodentia, Chitinid , Feroxi, and Kitsune.
[[File:SpeciesOverView2.png|border|center|596x596px]]
Vulpkanin, Felinid, Harpy, Oni, Rodentia, Chitinid, Feroxi, and Kitsune are Delta-V specific species.

There is also a number of uncommon humanoids. Each species possesses its own unique set of statistics, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as, in some cases, distinct anatomical traits. However, despite these differences, all species share several commonalities:

* Subjection to the fundamental laws of physics, including temperature, pressure, fire, atmospheric composition, gravity, radiation, electric current, and inertia. Temperature and atmospheric composition preferences differ for different species.
* Communication through a single common language. This ability can be lost temporally.
* Ability to equip the same tools and items (with a few exceptions).
* Ability to climb on surfaces, pull and throw things and beings, buckle in beds and seats, leave footprints, lay down, and sleep in beds and in cryostorage.
* Ability to preform attacks with fists and analogs. Likewise, when attacked, being slowed down and losing stamina.
* Capability of gaining and utilizing [[Psionics|psionic powers]] (Delta-V feature).
* Ability to leave DNA and/or prints on most intractable objects (and even pets).
* Ability to be affected by hunger and thirst.
* Ability to metabolize reagents inside and on the surface of the body, and experience their effects.
* Ability to be healed by applying specific items.
* Ability to be operated on during surgery, and decay with time while dead, and even to turn into a bloody pile of organs.
* A basic set of organs- eyes, brain, stomach, lungs, heart- alongside blood or a species-specific equivalent (sap, slime).
* Limited passive regeneration: BRUTE and HEAT damage can be healed over time, if Total Damage is below 20. AIRLOSS damage will always be healed over time, given the character in question has adequate breathable air and oxygen.
* All species will 'clot' over time - if they are bleeding, they will slowly stop bleeding. Moreover, their blood will naturally replenish.

= Roundstart Humanoids =
The following species can currently be selected in the character creation menu, meaning you can expect to see most of them during any given round.

== Human ==
[[File:Human.png|64px]]

Humans are considered the baseline for drawbacks and benefits. Unmodified human beings, functionally similar to the human beings of our world. You're (hopefully) one in real life. The station is designed for humans, so they should feel comfortable in most situations. Humans do not possess any unique abilities or traits (strengths or weaknesses) compared to other species.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common (ex. John Smith)

'''Diet'''
* Will be poisoned by raw or rotten food.

'''Special ability''': None

'''Benefits'''
* None.

'''Drawbacks'''
* None.
== Slime ==
[[File:Slime.png|64px]]

Gelatinous, human-shaped masses of goo, Slime People breathe nitrogen rather than oxygen and exhale nitrous oxide. While they are naturally vulnerable to barotrauma caused by both high and low pressure, their elastic form grants them resistance to blunt damage.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Cadwellian (ex. Jon Cadwell)

'''Diet'''
* Similar to humans.

'''Special ability''': None

'''Benefits'''
* Take 40% less Blunt damage.
* Take 20% less Poison damage.
* They are almost immune to cancer as they take 80% less Cellural damage.note: Cancer is still under development and not implemented in game yet.

== Reptilian ==
[[File:Reptilian.png|64px]]

Reptile-like humanoids with sharp claws, tough scales, and an appetite for raw meat. Their unarmed melee attacks do slash instead of blunt damage due to their claws. Because of their animal organs, onions, coffee and tea are poisonous to them and are unable to consume anything like Grain, Dairy, or anything overly processed, however, they are able to consume both raw meat without the risk of disease and fruits.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, or "verbs-the-noun" (ex. Eats-The-Mouse)

'''Diet'''

* They have slightly less stamina than Humans.

== Harpy ==
[[File:Harpy.png|64px]]

An avian humanoid species that features colorful feathered wings and tails that can mimic almost any sound.

They are quite sensitive to the air quality, and when exposed to low quality air, they will begin to visibly gasp, and eventually start choking. When this happens, a Harpy should either move away from sources of bad air, stand on top of a scrubber for a few seconds, or take a few breaths from a pure oxygen tank in order to restore their blood-oxygen levels. Only three seconds of being on pure oxygen is enough to completely restore a Harpy's blood oxygen saturation.

'''Naming Conventions:''' ???

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

'''Special ability'''

* Tail: They Cannot wear Jumpsuits, and will automatically start with a Jumpskirt instead.

'''Emote List'''

Scream, Laugh, Sneeze, Cough, Sigh, Cry, Whistle, Hiss, Meow, Mew, Growl, Purr, Ring, Honk, Pew, Bang, Beep, Rev, Click, Chitter, Squeak, Caw, Chirp, Snarl, Bark, Whine, Howl

'''Benefits'''
* Talons: deal Piercing damage.
* Somewhat smaller than Humans, although not as small as Felinids.
* Moves 10% faster than other species.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 15% more Blunt damage.
* Take 15% more Slash damage.
* Take 15% more Piercing damage.
* Low Density: Harpies are lighter than even Felinids, and weigh half as much as a Human.
* A Harpy breathes in air twice as often as Humans, inhaling and exhaling every 3 seconds.
** Air tanks last half as long and Harpies are more susceptible than usual to low air quality.
** If a Harpy is exposed to at least 0.2 moles of combined CO2 and/or Miasma, they start struggling to take in oxygen.

== Arachnid ==
[[File:Arachnid.png|64px]]

Not to be confused with insectoids, Arachnids cut a striking figure with their pressure-resistant exoskeletons and extra arms. Possibly related to the space spiders and giant tarantulas found in outer space. Thanks to their similarly robust digestive systems, they are able to consume raw food without the risk of disease. note: Disease is still under development and not implemented in game yet.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Latin (ex. Pluribus Unum)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Slow metabolism.
* (BUG?: At the moment Arachnid do NOT get poisoned.) Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

'''Special ability'''
* They have two extra pocket slots formed by webs.
* Silk: Can weive silk at the expense of hunger and craft various things.
Silk can be used to create furniture , clothes , walls and even shields. this will help handle more critical situations (ex: craft a winter coat when temperature drops , seal a spaced area using a wall). only Arachids are able to utilize the silk for crafting.
* Slow metabolism: they have 50% slower reagant metabolism than other species which takes extra time for medicines to work and to satiate thirst and hunger on the other it takes more time to get poisoned by any poisons/toxins. This has no effect on externally applied reagents, so spilling a acid on an Arachnid will kill them just the same as anyone else.

'''Benefits'''
* Melee: Do Slashing damage instead of Blunt.
* Take significantly less barotrauma(spacing) damage.
* Metabolizes stuff in their stomach 50% slower. Meaning that they can go a a longer time without eating anything on a shift.
* Two extra pocket slots.
* Do not get poisoned from Mechatoxin (the poison space taranulas have).

'''Drawbacks'''
* While suffocating, takes 50% more Asphyxiation damage and recovers it only at half speed.
* Cannot use the outerwear storage slot.
* They have blue blood, requiring Copper instead of Iron to regenerate. Iron will poison them instead.

== Diona ==
[[File:Diona.png|64px]]

Tree-like plant people whose bodies react with fertilizer and weed-killing chemicals similar to regular plants.
Upon death, and gibbing, they split into 3 nymphs that represent an organ each: Brain, Stomach and Lungs. The player will become the Brain Nymph and can reform into a fully fledged Diona after 10 minutes.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Qualia[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia] (ex. A Peaceful Sunrise)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat everything a Human can.
* They get hungry slower, and thirsty faster.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants: Weed Killer poisons them and Robust Harvest heals them.

'''Special ability'''
* Plant Chemicals: They are affected by chemicals that affect plants, this means that they can heal and benefit from fertilizers (ex: robust harvest can heal most of the brute damage), but plant toxins and pesticides will damage them too.
* Death: Can gib themselves into Nymphs after death, then reform after 10 minutes.
** This will heal them from all injuries and even manage to revive themselve from unrevivable situations (ex: radiation damage).
** Reform: It takes 10 minutes to be reformed back to Diona state from the Nymphs state. This leaves the Nymphs valnurable to other dangers (including spacing).
** Body: Reformed nymphs will have different body from the old Diona which will have different name and traits (such as gender).
** Memory: Reformed nymphs will keep their's character basic knowledge (only if it is an antagonist and the job), and looses any previous character's memories from it's death (other perhaps than the need to run away and find safety).
** Nymphs: There are normally 3 pet-like Nymphs. The original player take control of the "Brain" nymph. The only one able to talk. The other two can be taken over by ghosts if given cognizine.
** A zombified Diona is able to split once dead (or after giving up and returning to body) and the resulting nymphs will be zombified, though unable to reform.
* Tree form. Being exposed to 80u or more of Rodust Harvest will cause a Diona to grow out of control, turning into an immobile tree (dropping all their equipment). Cutting down the tree will "restone" the Diona to their mobile state.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 20% less Slash damage.
* Take 30% less Blunt damage.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* While suffocating, takes half the Asphyxiation damage and recovers at the normal rate.
* They are heavier than other races and can shove/disarm other races easier.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 50% more Heat damage.
* Take 20% more Shock damage.
* Roots: Cannot wear shoes. They are unable to wear any shoes and protect their feet from debris and shards (wearing a hardsuit can minigate this issue and protect their feet) and are unable to gain any benefit from them (ex: magboots, speedboots).
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* Ignite: If they take big enough Heat damage from any source, they get ignited and catch on fire (the fire damage/size depends on the amount of heat damage being dealt: a laser rifle will not burn as much compared to a vintage laser pistol / X-ray rifle)
== Vulpkanin ==
[[File:Vulpkanin.png|64px]]

The Vulpkanin (vulp-ka-nin) are a race of humanoid canine-like beings.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common (ex. John Smith)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

'''Special'''
* Trait: Have the Deuteranopia trait by default. This can be disabled via accessibility options.

'''Benefits'''
* Claws: do Slashing and Blunt damage.
* Their fur makes them able to withstand [[Maps#Glacier_Station|cold environments]] without the need of a coat.

'''Drawbacks'''
* They take 15% more Heat damage.

== Moth People ==
[[File:Moth.png|64px]]

Moth People, meanwhile, actually ''are'' an insectoid species. This insect people with wings and antennae, come in a variety of colors and patterns. Their wings allow them greater control in zero gravity than other species, and their natural resistance to cold helps greatly in a space environment. The tradeoff, naturally, is that heat is more dangerous.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, (ex. John Doe)

'''Diet'''

Moths have an exclusive cloth and fruit diet. This includes most clothings items in game. In addition chefs can make moth-specific recepies like cotton pizza and other things.
* clothings items
* moth-specific recepies
* fruit

'''Special ability'''
* Wings: Have increased acceleration when moving in zero-g enviroments. Their ability can work when gravity generator fails and even in space/vacumm and helps them get around without a jetpack. The status is 50% higher acceleration than other species.
* Diet: Moths have an exclusive cloth diet that can also include fruits. Moths cannot eat most things from other species, however they can eat cloth, gloves and other clothing items which are exclusive to them and are in higher abudance, in addition chefs can prepare moth specific food recipes for them.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 30% less Cold damage from all sources.
* Having wings makes it easier to move in zero-gravity environments.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 30% more Heat damage from all sources.
* Take 33% more (or 3 times more?) Heat/Burn damage when on fire compared to other species.
* They start taking Heat damage much earlier at 5co lower than other races. Intense heat will quickly burn them.
* They are slightly easier to carry and shove than Humans.
* They are unable to swallow any pills due to their diet, requiring them to be dissolved in other mediums instead.

== Vox ==
[[File:Fullvox.png|64px]]

Vox are a strange lot, they're raptor-like creatures that can only breathe nitrogen, as oxygen is '''very hazardous''' to their health to the point where they take ticking poison damage as long as they're exposed to the air, provided said air has even a trace of oxygen within it. To counter-act this, a Vox must either be in a pure nitrogen-based environment or, more commonly, breathing from a nitrogen tank, one of which is provided to them at the start of each round. Much like Reptilians, their unarmed attacks deal slashing damage instread of blunt.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, Mono-name with Repetitive Random Syllables (ex. Hirixashahre, Xapikrikrik)

'''Diet'''
* Nothing special, similar to Humans.

'''Special''' None

'''Benefits'''
* Claws: Do Slash damage instead of Blunt on unarmed attacks.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Breathing: Oxygen is toxic to them, they require to have internals on at all times and sometimes require to put the mask off when need to eat/swallow anything. There are other alternatives way to get reagents in such as a syringe without need to turn off the internals.

== Oni ==
[[File:Oni.png|64px]]

Large, horned people that come in a variety of colors. Their accuracy with [[Weapons|guns]] is terrible, but their physical strength brings them a lot of boons both in and out of combat.

'''Diet'''
* Nothing special, similar to Humans.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 15% less Blunt damage.
* Take 15% less Slash damage.
* Take 15% less Piercing damage.
* Do more damage in melee:
** 35% more Blunt and Asphyxiation.
** 20% more Slash and Piercing.
* Due to their big size, they can easily carry, shove and pull any other morphotypes.
* They are harder to shove.
* Slightly more stamina than Humans.
* They have an easier time prying open doors, taking around 50% less time than other species.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Their accuracy with guns is terrible.
* They are harder to carry and pull.
* They are bigger than Humans, making them easier to hit.

Mdempg: Added the Two Head Images.

{{Stub}}

During your time on station you may find yourself face to face (or face to mirror) with the not quite human. Be they aliens, mutated humans, or self aware constructs you're expected to try and coexist on this deathtrap. Learning their quirks can be key to knowing how to keep them amicable in times of peace, and easy to put down in times of strife.
[[File:SpeciesOverView1.png|center|frameless|500x500px]]
Delta-V features a diverse array of playable species, including Slime People, Rodentia, Reptilians, Felinids, Harpies, Humans, Arachnids, Diona, Vulpkanin, Moth People, Vox, and Oni.
[[File:SpeciesOverView2.png|border|center|596x596px]]
Vulpkanin, Felinid, Harpy, Oni, Rodentia, Chitinid, Feroxi, and Kitsune are Delta-V specific species.

There is also a number of uncommon humanoids. Each species possesses its own unique set of statistics, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as, in some cases, distinct anatomical traits. However, despite these differences, all species share several commonalities:

* Ablility to equip the same tools and items (with a few exceptions).
* Subjection to the fundamental laws of physics, including temperature, pressure, atmospheric composition, gravity, radiation, electric current, and inertia.
* Capability of gaining and utilizing psionic powers.
* Communication through a single common language.
* The ability to metabolize reagents, and experience their effects.
* A basic set of organs- eyes, brain, stomach, lungs, heart- alongside blood or a species-specific equivalent (sap, slime, oil).
* Limited passive regeneration: BRUTE and HEAT damage can be healed over time, if total damage is below 20. AIRLOSS damage will always be healed over time, given the character in question has adequate breathable air and oxygen.
* All species will 'clot' over time- If they are bleeding, they will slowly stop bleeding. Moreover, their blood will naturally replenish.

= Roundstart Humanoids =
The following species can currently be selected in the character creation menu, meaning you can expect to see most of them during any given round.

Humans are considered the baseline for drawbacks and benefits.

== Human ==
[[File:Human.png|64px]]

Baseline, unmodified human beings, functionally similar to the human beings of our world. You're (hopefully) one in real life. The station is designed for humans, so they should feel comfortable in most situations. However, humans cannot consume raw meat and do not possess any unique abilities or traits (strengths or weaknesses) compared to other species.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common (ex. John Smith)

'''Diet'''
* Will be poisoned by raw or rotten food.

'''Special ability''': None

'''Benefits'''
* None.

'''Drawbacks'''
* None.
== Slime ==
[[File:Slime.png|64px]]

Gelatinous, human-shaped masses of goo, Slime People breathe nitrogen rather than oxygen and exhale nitrous oxide. While they are naturally vulnerable to barotrauma caused by both high and low pressure, their elastic form grants them resistance to blunt damage.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Cadwellian (ex. Jon Cadwell)

'''Diet'''
* Similar to humans.

'''Special ability''': None

[[File:Harpy.png|64px]]

An avian humanoid species that features colorful feathered wings and tails that can mimic almost any sound.

They are quite sensitive to the air quality, and when exposed to low quality air, they will begin to visibly gasp, and eventually start choking. When this happens, a Harpy should either move away from sources of bad air, stand on top of a scrubber for a few seconds, or take a few breaths from a pure oxygen tank in order to restore their blood-oxygen levels. Only three seconds of being on pure oxygen is enough to completely restore a Harpy's blood oxygen saturation.

** Air tanks last half as long and Harpies are more susceptible than usual to low air quality.
** If a Harpy is exposed to at least 0.2 moles of combined CO2 and/or Miasma, they start struggling to take in oxygen.

== Arachnid ==
[[File:Arachnid.png|64px]]

Not to be confused with insectoids, Arachnids cut a striking figure with their pressure-resistant exoskeletons and extra arms. Possibly related to the space spiders and giant tarantulas found in outer space. Thanks to their similarly robust digestive systems, they are able to consume raw food without the risk of disease. note: Disease is still under development and not implemented in game yet.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Latin (ex. Pluribus Unum)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Slow metabolism.
* (BUG?: At the moment Arachnid do NOT get poisoned.) Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

'''Special ability'''
* They have two extra pocket slots formed by webs.
* Silk: Can weive silk at the expense of hunger and craft various things.
Silk can be used to create furniture , clothes , walls and even shields. this will help handle more critical situations (ex: craft a winter coat when temperature drops , seal a spaced area using a wall). only Arachids are able to utilize the silk for crafting.
* Slow metabolism: they have 50% slower reagant metabolism than other species which takes extra time for medicines to work and to satiate thirst and hunger on the other it takes more time to get poisoned by any poisons/toxins. This has no effect on externally applied reagents, so spilling a acid on an Arachnid will kill them just the same as anyone else.

'''Benefits'''
* Melee: Do Slashing damage instead of Blunt.
* Take significantly less barotrauma(spacing) damage.
* Metabolizes stuff in their stomach 50% slower. Meaning that they can go a a longer time without eating anything on a shift.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Qualia[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia] (ex. A Peaceful Sunrise)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat everything a Human can.
* They get hungry slower, and thirsty faster.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants: Weed Killer poisons them and Robust Harvest heals them.

'''Special ability'''
* Plant Chemicals: They are affected by chemicals that affect plants, this means that they can heal and benefit from fertilizers (ex: robust harvest can heal most of the brute damage), but plant toxins and pesticides will damage them too.
* Death: Can gib themselves into Nymphs after death, then reform after 10 minutes.
** This will heal them from all injuries and even manage to revive themselve from unrevivable situations (ex: radiation damage).
** Reform: It takes 10 minutes to be reformed back to Diona state from the Nymphs state. This leaves the Nymphs valnurable to other dangers (including spacing).
** Body: Reformed nymphs will have different body from the old Diona which will have different name and traits (such as gender).
** Memory: Reformed nymphs will keep their's character basic knowledge (only if it is an antagonist and the job), and looses any previous character's memories from it's death (other perhaps than the need to run away and find safety).
** Nymphs: There are normally 3 pet-like Nymphs. The original player take control of the "Brain" nymph. The only one able to talk. The other two can be taken over by ghosts if given cognizine.
** A zombified Diona is able to split once dead (or after giving up and returning to body) and the resulting nymphs will be zombified, though unable to reform.

* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* Ignite: If they take big enough Heat damage from any source, they get ignited and catch on fire (the fire damage/size depends on the amount of heat damage being dealt: a laser rifle will not burn as much compared to a vintage laser pistol / X-ray rifle)

[[File:Moth.png|64px]]

Moth People, meanwhile, actually ''are'' an insectoid species. This insect people with wings and antennae, come in a variety of colors and patterns. Their wings allow them greater control in zero gravity than other species, and their natural resistance to cold helps greatly in a space environment. The tradeoff, naturally, is that heat is more dangerous.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, (ex. John Doe)

'''Diet'''

Moths have an exclusive cloth and fruit diet. This includes most clothings items in game. In addition chefs can make moth-specific recepies like cotton pizza and other things.

[[File:Fullvox.png|64px]]

Vox are a strange lot, they're raptor-like creatures that can only breathe nitrogen, as oxygen is '''very hazardous''' to their health to the point where they take ticking poison damage as long as they're exposed to the air, provided said air has even a trace of oxygen within it. To counter-act this, a Vox must either be in a pure nitrogen-based environment or, more commonly, breathing from a nitrogen tank, one of which is provided to them at the start of each round. Much like Reptilians, their unarmed attacks deal slashing damage instread of blunt.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, Mono-name with Repetitive Random Syllables (ex. Hirixashahre, Xapikrikrik)

Mdempg: /* List of Psionic Powers */ minor style changes

{{Stub}}
Psionics, or psychics, are entities that have unlocked psionic abilities through various means. These individuals are considered to be a potential hazard to the station. The Epistemics department consisting of; the [[Mystagogue]], [[Chaplain]], [[Scientist|Scientists]] and [[Psionic Mantis]] are supposed to keep the psionics in check and if that fails they have a handful of tools for neutralizing harmful psionics.

All psionic entities have a shared telepathic communication channel, accessible by writing an equal sign before your text message. It's anonymized so you'll never know who you are talking to. It could entirely not even be a crew member.

== Psionic Abilities ==
[[File:PsionicPopup.png|thumb]]
Psionic Abilities are mental abilities that interface with the '''noösphere'''. Humanoids have limited access to the noösphere's full potential, allowing some to find ways to command it. This means that humanoids can only have a single ability at a time. They offer various benefits to the user in exchange of generating [[glimmer]] every time they are used. They generate from 8Ψ to 12Ψ every time they are used.

When you get lucky enough to unlock a psionic power, excluding starting with one, a popup with appear which allows you to decide to accept it or not. You won't know what you got until you accept it. Be careful to read the text before accepting, you technically give your consent to be targeted by certain forces. Accepting the psionic power also raises the [[glimmer]] by 1Ψ to 5Ψ.
 

After unlocking a psionic ability, it will be automatically placed in your action bar. All you have to do to use it is to click on it or press the corresponding action key. Some of them require you to click on a target.

Fair warning that you can only have one psionic ability at a time, excluding special circumstances.

=== List of Psionic Powers ===
Here is a list of the currently available psionic powers. The '''Weight''' column shows their likeliness to be acquired using normal means explained in the next part. If the weight is 0, it means they aren't accessible by normal means. Delay is the time in seconds between uses.

== Acquiring Powers ==
Psionics can be acquired in a number of ways.
There are a few ways to acquire psionic powers. Some roles can start with them and you can get lucky during glimmer events or by drinking oracle juice. Certain roles have better chances of unlocking psionic powers than others.

=== At Shift Start ===
As soon as you start existing in a shift, late join included, you have a basic 7% chance of rolling a psionic power. All Heads of Staff except for the Logistics Officer instead have a 32% chance, while the [[Chaplain]] has a 21% chance. This is further increased for late joining players depending on the station's Glimmer.

Additionally, each person is given one complimentary "Reroll" for Psionics, which they can use by consuming certain hallucinogenic drugs. See below for more details.

The two roles that always start with psionic powers are the [[Mystagogue]] starting with '''Dispel''' and the [[Psionic Mantis]] starting with '''Metapsionic Pulse'''.

=== During the Shift ===
During the shift, a decent amount of ways to unlock psionic abilities offer themselves to you:
* '''Noospheric Storm''' offers the potential of awakening a psionic power, of 3 people maximum, every time they happen.
* '''Noospheric Zaps''' don't directly give you psionics, but if you have previously attempted to roll for psionics using drugs, the seizure will unlock the ability to roll again.
* '''Glimmer''' on its own doesn't give you psionics, instead it increases your chances of rolling for psionics by an amount equal to the current glimmer divided by 1000. For example, if the glimmer was at 300 when you take space drugs, your chances of becoming psychic are increased by 30%.
* '''Artifact Pulse''' that can happen from some artifacts.
* '''[[Chemistry#Lotophagoi oil|Lotophagoi Oil]]''' sometimes dispensed by [[The Oracle]]. It has a chance of giving you psionics equal to your original base chance, plus a bonus chance based on the current glimmer. You need to ingest at least 20 units.
* '''[[Chemistry#Space drugs|Space Drugs]]''' is the weaker alternative to Lotophagoi Oil. It has a chance to give you psionics equal to your original base chance, plus a bonus chance based on the current glimmer. You need to ingest at least 15 units.
*:Note for the Lotophagoi Oil and Space Drugs, consuming either will use up your reroll attempt. Should it fail to give you psionics, consuming further drugs will not cause an additional roll until you have regained your reroll from a seizure.

=== Changing your Powers ===
Since the power you receive from the psychic roll is random, you may receive a power that isn't necessarily useful. While Dispel is nice to have for Epistemics personnel, a security officer would probably prefer a different power for example. If you find that you have an undesirable power, you can request to have your power stripped by the [[Psionic Mantis]]. Afterwards, you can try again for another power by any of the usual means.

=== Special Items ===
It is also possible to unlock certain psionic abilities without being a psionic yourself or to add another ability on top of your current one if you are.

== Psionic Insulation ==
Insulative clothing and [[Chemistry#chem_Cryptobiolin|cryptobiolin]] will render you immune to psionics, but prevent you from using any you have. This means that you will be able to see floating telegnosis projections and through psionic invisibility.

It is particularly useful if you want to avoid getting mind swapped, zapped by the discharges or just don't want to gain any psionic abilities.

|-
! [[File:InsulativeSkullcap.png|64px]]
! '''Insulative Skullcap'''
| The better psionic insulation. It doesn't get destroyed by strong discharges but might set you on fire. This one is mostly found in Security.
|-

| Not normally found on the station, but was once found in the hands of [[Nuclear Operative|Nuclear Operatives]]. It lasts for a long time but renders the user psionically insulated. Woe is the operative that forgets to eat their pill.
|}

== Psionic Removal ==
There's many reasons and ways, for someone to get rid of their psionic abilities, whenever they want to or not. Removing one's psionic abilities removes their ability to speak on the telepath channel but also stops them from being automatically targeted by anti-psychic forces.

The main reason that many people might want, or be forced to get rid of their abilities, is to reduce the amount of crew members using their psionic abilities to generate glimmer or to stop [[Traitor|nefarious individuals]] using certain powers to sneak into Armory.

=== Ways to Remove Psionic Powers ===
<big>'''Mindbreaker Toxin'''</big> [[File:Pill1.png|64px]] 
Metabolizing 20 units or more of [[Chemistry#chem_Mindbreaker_toxin|Mindbreaker Toxin]] will remove psionics from a person. This is mostly used by the [[Psionic Mantis]] and [[Mystagogue]] during [[Alert_Procedure#White_Alert|White Alert]] to prevent people from generating any more glimmer. It can also be used during criminal sentencing.

<big>'''Soulbreaker Shells'''</big> [[File:Shell 50Practice.png|64px]] 
Soulbreaker shells will remove psionics from psychics they hit. They require [[Research and Development|research]] and to be printed at a security techfab. '''Used to exist, is pending a rebase. If you'd like to see this in game again, consider submitting a PR to add it back on the [https://github.com/DeltaV-Station/Delta-v GitHub]!'''

<big>'''Golemnization'''</big> [[File:Golem.png|64px]] 
While the act of being [[Golemancy#Sacrifices|sacrificed]] itself doesn't ''technically'' remove your psionic abilities, being placed into a [[Golemancy#The_Golems|golem]] forces the powers out of you. As a golem you still get to keep your ability to talk on the telepath channel. '''Used to exist, is pending a rebase. If you'd like to see this in game again, consider submitting a PR to add it back on the [https://github.com/DeltaV-Station/Delta-v GitHub]!'''

<big>'''Death'''</big> [[File:MacrobombImplanter.png|64px]] 
To no surprise, if you die '''and''' get a new body from the [[Medical#Cloning|cloner or metempsychotic machine]], you will lose your psionic abilities. But fear not, you can always try your luck again to regain a new ability.

Mdempg: /* List of Psionic Powers */ Added a number of items and images. Checked code for details.

{{Stub}}
Psionics, or psychics, are entities that have unlocked psionic abilities through various means. These individuals are considered to be a potential hazard to the station. The Epistemics department consisting of; the [[Mystagogue]], [[Chaplain]], [[Scientist|Scientists]] and [[Psionic Mantis]] are supposed to keep the psionics in check and if that fails they have a handful of tools for neutralizing harmful psionics.

All psionic entities have a shared telepathic communication channel, accessible by writing an equal sign before your text message. It's anonymized so you'll never know who you are talking to. It could entirely not even be a crew member.

== Psionic Abilities ==
[[File:PsionicPopup.png|thumb]]
Psionic Abilities are mental abilities that interface with the '''noösphere'''. Humanoids have limited access to the noösphere's full potential, allowing some to find ways to command it. This means that humanoids can only have a single ability at a time. They offer various benefits to the user in exchange of generating [[glimmer]] every time they are used. They generate from 8Ψ to 12Ψ every time they are used.

When you get lucky enough to unlock a psionic power, excluding starting with one, a popup with appear which allows you to decide to accept it or not. You won't know what you got until you accept it. Be careful to read the text before accepting, you technically give your consent to be targeted by certain forces. Accepting the psionic power also raises the [[glimmer]] by 1Ψ to 5Ψ.
 

After unlocking a psionic ability, it will be automatically placed in your action bar. All you have to do to use it is to click on it or press the corresponding action key. Some of them require you to click on a target.

Fair warning that you can only have one psionic ability at a time, excluding special circumstances.

=== List of Psionic Powers ===

Mdempg: Added bloodloss regeneration

{{Stub}}

During your time on station you may find yourself face to face (or face to mirror) with the not quite human. Be they aliens, mutated humans, or self aware constructs you're expected to try and coexist on this deathtrap.
Learning their quirks can be key to knowing how to keep them amicable in times of peace, and easy to put down in times of strife.

Delta-V features a diverse array of playable species, including Slime People, Rodentia, Reptilians, Felinids, Harpies, Humans, Arachnids, Diona, Vulpkanin, Moth People, Vox, and Oni. There is also a number of uncommon humanoids. Each species possesses its own unique set of statistics, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as, in some cases, distinct anatomical traits. However, despite these differences, all species share several commonalities:

* All species are able to equip the same tools and items (with a few exceptions).
* All species are subject to the fundamental laws of physics, including temperature, pressure, atmospheric composition, gravity, radiation, electric current, and inertia.
* All species are capable of utilizing psionic powers.
* All species communicate using a common language.
* All species are to be treated equally by both the crew and the AI onboard.
* All species can metabolize reagents and experience their effects.
* All species have a basic set of organs, and a set volume of blood or a specific substance that they use as blood, like slime or sap.
* All species benefit from limited passive regeneration, allowing them to heal BRUTE and HEAT damage over time, provided their total damage remains below 20.
* All species benefit from natural clotting over time (decreases bleeding), blood regeneration (blood level naturally repleneshing), and if bloodloss damage regeneration if the blood level high enough

= Roundstart Humanoids =
The following species can currently be selected in the character creation menu, meaning you can expect to see most of them during any given round.

Humans are considered the baseline for drawbacks and benefits.

== Human ==
[[File:Human.png|64px]]

Baseline, unmodified human beings, functionally similar to the human beings of our world. You're (hopefully) one in real life. The station is designed for humans, so they should feel comfortable in most situations. However, humans cannot consume raw meat and do not possess any unique abilities or traits (strengths or weaknesses) compared to other species.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common (ex. John Smith)

'''Diet'''
* Everything, except: raw meat, live mice and some rotten stuff.
* Will get posioned by drinking blood or excessive amounts of alcohol, or by eating rotten stuff.

'''Special ability''': None

'''Benefits'''
* None.

'''Drawbacks'''
* None.
== Slime ==
[[File:Slime.png|64px]]

Gelatinous, human-shaped masses of goo, Slime People breathe nitrogen rather than oxygen and exhale nitrous oxide. While they are naturally vulnerable to barotrauma caused by both high and low pressure, their elastic form grants them resistance to blunt damage.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Cadwellian (ex. Jon Cadwell)

'''Diet'''
* Nothing special, similar to Humans

'''Special ability''': None

'''Benefits'''
* Take 40% less Blunt damage.
* Take 20% less Poison damage.
* They are almost immune to cancer as they take 80% less Cellural damage.note: Cancer is still under development and not implemented in game yet.
* Immunity to the BleedersBite and Ultragigacancer disease.
* While suffocating, takes 80% less Asphyxiation damage and recovers at the normal rate.
* They have slighty faster natural regeneration rate and start regenerating from below 65 total damage (other species need below 20).

== Harpy ==
[[File:Harpy.png|64px]]

An avian humanoid species that features colorful feathered wings and tails that can mimic almost any sound.

They are quite sensitive to the air quality, and when exposed to low quality air, they will begin to visibly gasp, and eventually start choking. When this happens, a Harpy should either move away from sources of bad air, stand on top of a scrubber for a few seconds, or take a few breaths from a pure oxygen tank in order to restore their blood-oxygen levels. Only three seconds of being on pure oxygen is enough to completely restore a Harpy's blood oxygen saturation.

'''Naming Conventions:''' ???

* A Harpy breathes in air twice as often as Humans, inhaling and exhaling every 3 seconds.
** Air tanks last half as long and Harpies are more susceptible than usual to low air quality.
** If a Harpy is exposed to at least 0.2 moles of combined CO2 and/or Miasma, they start struggling to take in oxygen.

== Arachnid ==
[[File:Arachnid.png|64px]]

Not to be confused with insectoids, Arachnids cut a striking figure with their pressure-resistant exoskeletons and extra arms. Possibly related to the space spiders and giant tarantulas found in outer space. Thanks to their similarly robust digestive systems, they are able to consume raw food without the risk of disease. note: Disease is still under development and not implemented in game yet.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Latin (ex. Pluribus Unum)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Slow metabolism.
* (BUG?: At the moment Arachnid do NOT get poisoned.) Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

'''Special ability'''
* They have two extra pocket slots formed by webs.
* Silk: Can weive silk at the expense of hunger and craft various things.
Silk can be used to create furniture , clothes , walls and even shields. this will help handle more critical situations (ex: craft a winter coat when temperature drops , seal a spaced area using a wall). only Arachids are able to utilize the silk for crafting.
* Slow metabolism: they have 50% slower reagant metabolism than other species which takes extra time for medicines to work and to satiate thirst and hunger on the other it takes more time to get poisoned by any poisons/toxins. This has no effect on externally applied reagents, so spilling a acid on an Arachnid will kill them just the same as anyone else.

'''Benefits'''
* Melee: Do Slashing damage instead of Blunt.
* Take significantly less barotrauma(spacing) damage.
* Metabolizes stuff in their stomach 50% slower. Meaning that they can go a a longer time without eating anything on a shift.

'''Drawbacks'''
* While suffocating, takes 50% more Asphyxiation damage and recovers it only at half speed.
* Cannot use the outerwear storage slot.
* They have blue blood, requiring Copper instead of Iron to regenerate. Iron will poison them instead.

== Diona ==
[[File:Diona.png|64px]]

Tree-like plant people whose bodies react with fertilizer and weed-killing chemicals similar to regular plants.
Upon death, and gibbing, they split into 3 nymphs that represent an organ each: Brain, Stomach and Lungs. The player will become the Brain Nymph and can reform into a fully fledged Diona after 10 minutes.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Qualia[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia] (ex. A Peaceful Sunrise)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat everything a Human can.
* They get hungry slower, and thirsty faster.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants: Weed Killer poisons them and Robust Harvest heals them.

'''Special ability'''
* Plant Chemicals: They are affected by chemicals that affect plantsexcluding mutegants, this means that they can heal and benefit from fertilizers (ex: robust harvest can heal most of the brute damage), but plant toxins and pesticides will damage them too.
* Death: Can gib themselves into Nymphs after death, then reform after 10 minutes.
** This will heal them from all injuries and even manage to revive themselve from unrevivable situations (ex: radiation damage).
** Reform: It takes 10 minutes to be reformed back to Diona state from the Nymphs state. This leaves the Nymphs valnurable to other dangers (including spacing).
** Body: Reformed nymphs will have different body from the old Diona which will have different name and traits (such as gender).
** Memory: Reformed nymphs will keep their's character basic knowledge (only if it is an antagonist and the job), and looses any previous character's memories from it's death (other perhaps than the need to run away and find safety).
** Nymphs: There are normally 3 pet-like Nymphs. The original player take control of the "Brain" nymph. The only one able to talk. The other two can be taken over by ghosts if given cognizine.
** A zombified Diona is able to split once dead (or after giving up and returning to body) and the resulting nymphs will be zombified, though unable to reform.
* Tree form. Being exposed to 80u or more of Rodust Harvest will cause a Diona to grow out of control, turning into an immobile tree (dropping all their equipment). Cutting down the tree will "restone" the Diona to their mobile state.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 20% less Slash damage.
* Take 30% less Blunt damage.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 50% more Heat damage.
* Take 20% more Shock damage.
* Roots: Cannot wear shoes. They are unable to wear any shoes and protect their feet from debris and shards (wearing a hardsuit can minigate this issue and protect their feet) and are unable to gain any benefit from them (ex: magboots, speedboots).
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* Ignite: If they take big enough Heat damage from any source, they get ignited and catch on fire (the fire damage/size depends on the amount of heat damage being dealt: a laser rifle will not burn as much compared to a vintage laser pistol / X-ray rifle)
== Vulpkanin ==
[[File:Vulpkanin.png|64px]]

The Vulpkanin (vulp-ka-nin) are a race of humanoid canine-like beings.

[[File:Moth.png|64px]]

Moth People, meanwhile, actually ''are'' an insectoid species. This insect people with wings and antennae, come in a variety of colors and patterns. Their wings allow them greater control in zero gravity than other species, and their natural resistance to cold helps greatly in a space environment. The tradeoff, naturally, is that heat is more dangerous.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, (ex. John Doe)

'''Diet'''

Moths have an exclusive cloth and fruit diet. This includes most clothings items in game. In addition chefs can make moth-specific recepies like cotton pizza and other things.

Moths cannot eat most things from other species, however they can eat cloth, gloves and other clothing items which are exclusive to them and are in higher abudance, in addition chefs can prepare moth specific food recipes for them.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 30% less Cold damage from all sources.
* Having wings makes it easier to move in zero-gravity environments.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 30% more Heat damage from all sources.

* They are unable to swallow any pills due to their diet, requiring them to be dissolved in other mediums instead.

== Vox ==
[[File:Fullvox.png|64px]]

Vox are a strange lot, they're raptor-like creatures that can only breathe nitrogen, as oxygen is '''very hazardous''' to their health to the point where they take ticking poison damage as long as they're exposed to the air, provided said air has even a trace of oxygen within it. To counter-act this, a Vox must either be in a pure nitrogen-based environment or, more commonly, breathing from a nitrogen tank, one of which is provided to them at the start of each round. Much like Reptilians, their unarmed attacks deal slashing damage instread of blunt.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, Mono-name with Repetitive Random Syllables (ex. Hirixashahre, Xapikrikrik)

'''Diet'''
* Nothing special, similar to Humans.

'''Special''' None

'''Benefits'''
* Claws: Do Slash damage instead of Blunt on unarmed attacks.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Breathing: Oxygen is toxic to them, they require to have internals on at all times and sometimes require to put the mask off when need to eat/swallow anything. There are other alternatives way to get reagents in such as a syringe without need to turn off the internals.

== Oni ==
[[File:Oni.png|64px]]

* Slightly more stamina than Humans.
* They have an easier time prying open doors, taking around 50% less time than other species.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Their accuracy with guns is terrible.

Hacking

2024-12-20T03:09:43Z

Mdempg: corrections

{{Stub}}
A skill that you can use to grant yourself illicit access to pieces of technology, or apply unintended side effects to pieces of technology.

__TOC__

== Tools ==
The gear that you should probably prepare before hacking.
* [[File:InsulatedGloves.png]] '''Insulated Gloves''' - In order to not immediately get zapped. Hackables have power lines, and cutting/pulsing these without gloves can and will harm you. It's possible(?) to hack without them, but it will be slow, painful, and you'll need ointment.
* [[File:Screwdriver.png]] '''Screwdriver''' - In order to access the maintenance panel, you must first obtain a screwdriver. A necessary tool.
* [[File:Wirecutter.png]] '''Wirecutters''' - Allows you to cut and mend the wires, allowing for more long-term hacking. Can also reverse effects of the multitool.
* [[File:Multitool.png]] '''Multitool''' - Allows you to pulse the wires. Also very good for learning which wire does which. Needed to unbolt the door if the bolts go down.
* [[File:Crowbar.png]] '''Crowbar''' - Allows you to forcibly open a door. Works when the power is out or you've hacked away the power.

== Hacking ==
Multiple powered devices are hackable. Doors and vending machines are the most common to hack. 
The process for starting to hack something is a very simple process:
# Screwdriver [[File:Screwdriver.png]] in hand, click on the object to open its maintenance panel and expose the wiring.
# With a multitool [[File:Multitool.png]], wirecutters [[File:Wirecutter.png]] or empty hands, click on the object to access the wiring.
# Pulse wires using the multitool [[File:Multitool.png]] or cut wires with the wirecutters [[File:Wirecutter.png]].
# Screwdriver [[File:Screwdriver.png]] the object again to shut its maintenance panel.

Remember, if you are trying to hack to get into unauthorised places or getting unauthorised objects you can potentially be sent to the brig, demoted, or even banned. If you are an Engineer, you may be asked by an authorised person to get into certain areas or get certain objects in an emergency situation but generally the right call (if you are not an antag) is to ask the relevant person first or the relevant Head of Staff.

== Wires ==
[[File:Wires Menu.png|thumb|The wires you see for a normal airlock door]]
In order to hack an object, you need to figure out what wire does what by pulsing it with a multitool or cutting it with a wirecutter. The wire cutters make a semi permanent change (but you can reverse it by repairing the broken wire). Multi Tool effects are temporary when the power is on (and the timer controls this).

Above each wire there is a light. The lights indicate whether each item is ON or OFF. If the lights are big circles it means that item is ON. A smaller light means that item is OFF. BUT, Signals passed my Links are not shown in the Hacking GUI: so the visual indicator of the state (size of circles) can lie, until the first cut wire or first pulse done inside the Hacking GUI.

To note is that all the wires for every objects are randomized at the start of the shift.
 

== Hackables ==
=== [[File:Airlock.png|64px]] Airlocks ===
Every types of airlocks is hackable. Normal airlock have 8 wires. Two of them go to power. 8 Wires: POWR_1, POWR_2, LOG, BOLT, BLIT, TIMR, SAFE, AIA.

High Security Doors follow the same logic as normal airlocks except they have additional steps to get the maintaince panel open.

==== Ouputs: Airlocks ====
DOOR STATUS (ON = Open, OFF = when finishes closing)

==== Inputs: Airlocks ====
* OPEN
* CLOSE
* TOGGLE
* HOLD
**turns off automatic closing
* DOOR BOLT
**ON = door gets bolted, sound "Pip-TuDu"
**OFF = door gets unbolted, sound "Pup-TuDu"

== Tips ==
* When you shift click on an object, it will tell you whether the Panel is open or closed. If it is closed, you need a Screwdriver to open it.
* Using a crowbar on a powered door will give you a message "the powered motors block you efforts".
* If the bolts are down then the door will give you a message "the airlock bolts prevent it from being forced!".
* Remember to close the Panel when you're finished doing whatever it is you needed to do.

Mdempg: Signalling Objects Added

{{Stub}}
A skill that you can use to grant yourself illicit access to pieces of technology, or apply unintended side effects to pieces of technology.

__TOC__

== Tools ==
The gear that you should probably prepare before hacking.
* [[File:InsulatedGloves.png]] '''Insulated Gloves''' - In order to not immediately get zapped. Hackables have power lines, and cutting/pulsing these without gloves can and will harm you. It's possible(?) to hack without them, but it will be slow, painful, and you'll need ointment.
* [[File:Screwdriver.png]] '''Screwdriver''' - In order to access the maintenance panel, you must first obtain a screwdriver. A necessary tool.
* [[File:Wirecutter.png]] '''Wirecutters''' - Allows you to cut and mend the wires, allowing for more long-term hacking. Can also reverse effects of the multitool.
* [[File:Multitool.png]] '''Multitool''' - Allows you to pulse the wires. Also very good for learning which wire does which. Needed to unbolt the door if the bolts go down.
* [[File:Crowbar.png]] '''Crowbar''' - Allows you to forcibly open a door. Works when the power is out or you've hacked away the power.

== Hacking ==
Multiple powered devices are hackable. Doors and vending machines are the most common to hack. 
The process for starting to hack something is a very simple process:
# Screwdriver [[File:Screwdriver.png]] in hand, click on the object to open its maintenance panel and expose the wiring.
# With a multitool [[File:Multitool.png]], wirecutters [[File:Wirecutter.png]] or empty hands, click on the object to access the wiring.
# Pulse wires using the multitool [[File:Multitool.png]] or cut wires with the wirecutters [[File:Wirecutter.png]].
# Screwdriver [[File:Screwdriver.png]] the object again to shut its maintenance panel.

Remember, if you are trying to hack to get into unauthorised places or getting unauthorised objects you can potentially be sent to the brig, demoted, or even banned. If you are an Engineer, you may be asked by an authorised person to get into certain areas or get certain objects in an emergency situation but generally the right call (if you are not an antag) is to ask the relevant person first or the relevant Head of Staff.

== Wires ==
[[File:Wires Menu.png|thumb|The wires you see for a normal airlock door]]
In order to hack an object, you need to figure out what wire does what by pulsing it with a multitool or cutting it with a wirecutter. The wire cutters make a semi permanent change (but you can reverse it by repairing the broken wire). Multi Tool effects are temporary when the power is on (and the timer controls this).

Above each wire there is a light. The lights indicate whether each item is ON or OFF. If the lights are big circles it means that item is ON. A smaller light means that item is OFF. BUT, Signals passed my Links are not shown in the Hacking GUI: so the visual indicator of the state (size of circles) can lie, until the first cut wire or first pulse done inside the Hacking GUI.

To note is that all the wires for every objects are randomized at the start of the shift.
 

== Hackables ==
=== [[File:Airlock.png|64px]] Airlocks ===
Every types of airlocks is hackable. Normal airlock have 8 wires. Two of them go to power. 8 Wires: POWR_1, POWR_2, LOG, BOLT, BLIT, TIMR, SAFE, AIA.

High Security Doors follow the same logic as normal airlocks except they have additional steps to get the maintaince panel open.

==== Ouputs: Airlocks ====
DOOR STATUS (ON = Open, OFF = when finishes closing)

==== Inputs: Airlocks ====
* OPEN
* CLOSE
* TOGGLE
* HOLD
**turns off automatic closing
* DOOR BOLT
**ON = door gets bolted, sound "Pip-TuDu"
**OFF = door gets unbolted, sound "Pup-TuDu"

{{Stub}}
A skill that you can use to grant yourself illicit access to pieces of technology, or apply unintended side effects to pieces of technology.

__TOC__

== Tools ==
The gear that you should probably prepare before hacking.
* [[File:InsulatedGloves.png]] '''Insulated Gloves''' - In order to not immediately get zapped. Hackables have power lines, and cutting/pulsing these without gloves can and will harm you. It's possible(?) to hack without them, but it will be slow, painful, and you'll need ointment.
* [[File:Screwdriver.png]] '''Screwdriver''' - In order to access the maintenance panel, you must first obtain a screwdriver. A necessary tool.
* [[File:Wirecutter.png]] '''Wirecutters''' - Allows you to cut and mend the wires, allowing for more long-term hacking. Can also reverse effects of the multitool.
* [[File:Multitool.png]] '''Multitool''' - Allows you to pulse the wires. Also very good for learning which wire does which. Needed to unbolt the door if the bolts go down.
* [[File:Crowbar.png]] '''Crowbar''' - Allows you to forcibly open a door. Works when the power is out or you've hacked away the power.

== Hacking ==
Multiple powered devices are hackable. Doors and vending machines are the most common to hack. 
The process for starting to hack something is a very simple process:
# Screwdriver [[File:Screwdriver.png]] in hand, click on the object to open its maintenance panel and expose the wiring.
# With a multitool [[File:Multitool.png]], wirecutters [[File:Wirecutter.png]] or empty hands, click on the object to access the wiring.
# Pulse wires using the multitool [[File:Multitool.png]] or cut wires with the wirecutters [[File:Wirecutter.png]].
# Screwdriver [[File:Screwdriver.png]] the object again to shut its maintenance panel.

Remember, if you are trying to hack to get into unauthorised places or getting unauthorised objects you can potentially be sent to the brig, demoted, or even banned. If you are an Engineer, you may be asked by an authorised person to get into certain areas or get certain objects in an emergency situation but generally the right call (if you are not an antag) is to ask the relevant person first or the relevant Head of Staff.

== Wires ==
[[File:Wires Menu.png|thumb|The wires you see for a normal airlock door]]
In order to hack an object, you need to figure out what wire does what by pulsing it with a multitool or cutting it with a wirecutter. The wire cutters make a semi permanent change (but you can reverse it by repairing the broken wire). Multi Tool effects are temporary when the power is on (and the timer controls this).

Above each wire there is a light. The lights indicate whether each item is ON or OFF. If the lights are big circles it means that item is ON. A smaller light means that item is OFF.

To note is that all the wires for every objects are randomized at the start of the shift.
 

== Hackables ==
=== [[File:Airlock.png|64px]] Airlocks ===
Every types of airlocks is hackable. Normal airlock have 8 wires. Two of them go to power. 8 Wires: POWR_1, POWR_2, LOG, BOLT, BLIT, TIMR, SAFE, AIA.

High Security Doors follow the same logic as normal airlocks except they have additional steps to get the maintaince panel open.

==== Ouputs: Airlocks ====
DOOR STATUS (ON = Open, OFF = when finishes closing)

==== Inputs: Airlocks ====
* OPEN
* CLOSE
* TOGGLE
* HOLD
**turns off automatic closing
* DOOR BOLT
**ON = door gets bolted, sound "Pip-TuDu"
**OFF = door gets unbolted, sound "Pup-TuDu"

{{Stub}}

During your time on station you may find yourself face to face (or face to mirror) with the not quite human. Be they aliens, mutated humans, or self aware constructs you're expected to try and coexist on this deathtrap.
Learning their quirks can be key to knowing how to keep them amicable in times of peace, and easy to put down in times of strife.

Delta-V features a diverse array of playable species, including Slime People, Rodentia, Reptilians, Felinids, Harpies, Humans, Arachnids, Diona, Vulpkanin, Moth People, Vox, and Oni. There is also a number of uncommon humanoids. Each species possesses its own unique set of statistics, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as, in some cases, distinct anatomical traits. However, despite these differences, all species share several commonalities:

* All species are able to equip the same tools and items (with a few exceptions).
* All species can metabolize reagents and experience their effects.
* All species are subject to the fundamental laws of physics, including temperature, pressure, atmospheric composition, gravity, radiation, electric current, and inertia.
* All species benefit from limited passive regeneration, allowing them to heal BRUTE and HEAT damage over time, provided their total damage remains below 20.
* All species are capable of utilizing psionic powers.
* All species communicate using a common language.
* All species are to be treated equally by both the crew and the AI onboard.

= Roundstart Humanoids =
The following species can currently be selected in the character creation menu, meaning you can expect to see most of them during any given round.

Humans are considered the baseline for drawbacks and benefits.

== Human ==
[[File:Human.png|64px]]

Baseline, unmodified human beings, functionally similar to the human beings of our world. You're (hopefully) one in real life. The station is designed for humans, so they should feel comfortable in most situations. However, humans cannot consume raw meat and do not possess any unique abilities or traits (strengths or weaknesses) compared to other species.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common (ex. John Smith)

'''Diet'''
* Everything, except: raw meat, live mice and some rotten stuff.
* Will get posioned by drinking blood or excessive amounts of alcohol, or by eating rotten stuff.

'''Special ability''': None

'''Benefits'''
* None.

'''Drawbacks'''
* None.
== Slime ==
[[File:Slime.png|64px]]

Gelatinous, human-shaped masses of goo, Slime People breathe nitrogen rather than oxygen and exhale nitrous oxide. While they are naturally vulnerable to barotrauma caused by both high and low pressure, their elastic form grants them resistance to blunt damage.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Cadwellian (ex. Jon Cadwell)

'''Diet'''
* Nothing special, similar to Humans

'''Special ability''': None

'''Benefits'''
* Take 40% less Blunt damage.
* Take 20% less Poison damage.
* They are almost immune to cancer as they take 80% less Cellural damage.note: Cancer is still under development and not implemented in game yet.
* Immunity to the BleedersBite and Ultragigacancer disease.
* While suffocating, takes 80% less Asphyxiation damage and recovers at the normal rate.
* They have slighty faster natural regeneration rate and start regenerating from below 65 total damage (other species need below 20).
* They can metabolize 3 reagents instead of just 2 like others.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 20% more Piercing and Slashing damage.
* Take 50% more Cold damage from all sources.
* Very vulnerable to high and low pressure barotrauma (spacing).
* Get hurt by water when sprayed into them which deals Heat damage.
* Breaths Nitrogen instead of Oxygen.

'''Special:'''
* they breath nitrogen instead of oxygen. but more tanks are available for them and they can breath on lower atmospheric pressures without asphyxiating.
* they have a 6 space inventory slot in their body but anyone can access/steal anything that it is stored in it.

== Rodentia ==

Rodentia are a race of humanoid beings resembling rodents. Resourceful, evasive, sneaky, but fragile.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, descriptive (ex. "No-tail Dale" or "Sleeps-much Abigal")

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

'''Special ability'''
* Can Rummage in disposal chutes, which can sometimes dig up food.
* Can store small items in their cheeks. Having items in their mouth makes their speech unintelligible, and they will drop all items in their mouth if attacked, stunned, or shoved.
* Can "sneak" underneath tables, but not doors.

'''Benefits'''
* Claws: can do Slashing and Blunt damage.
* Smaller than humans.
* Can fit in duffelbags.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 30% more Blunt damage.
* Take 15% more Slash damage.
* Take 15% more Piercing damage.
* Always trigger mousetraps, regardless of whether or not they are wearing shoes.
* Get hungry 33% faster.

== Reptilian ==
[[File:Reptilian.png|64px]]

Reptile-like humanoids with sharp claws, tough scales, and an appetite for raw meat. Their unarmed melee attacks do slash instead of blunt damage due to their claws. Because of their animal organs, onions, coffee and tea are poisonous to them and are unable to consume anything like Grain, Dairy, or anything overly processed, however, they are able to consume both raw meat without the risk of disease and fruits.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Verbal (ex. Eats-The-Mouse)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat and drink blood without ill effects.
* Can only eat Fruits and Meat related foods.
* No grain or dairy products.
* Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

'''Special ability'''
Tail: can have both hands free while pulling anything, which allow them to do specific stuns in combat or help them in various jobs.

'''Benefits'''
* Claws: to deal Piercing damage instead of Blunt.
* Can stand a greater heat temperature than Humans.
* Uses their tail to pull things allowing them to have both of their hands free while pulling.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Has a noticeable lisssp when speaking.
* Cold sensetivity: they will start freezing and getting slowed down from cold much earlier at 20co higher than other species.
* Suffer 30% more Cold damage from all sources.
* The diet is highly restricted and they can only eat meat, fruits and their specific combinations.

== Felinid ==
[[File:Felinid.png|64px]]

Small and mischievous cat-eared people. Being small in itself has lots of upsides and downsides. They are naturally good at thieving, and can hide inside duffelbags.

'''Naming Conventions:''' ???

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Can eat mice and rats after picking them up

== Harpy ==
[[File:Harpy.png|64px]]

An avian humanoid species that features colorful feathered wings and tails that can mimic almost any sound.

They are quite sensitive to the air quality, and when exposed to low quality air, they will begin to visibly gasp, and eventually start choking. When this happens, a Harpy should either move away from sources of bad air, stand on top of a scrubber for a few seconds, or take a few breaths from a pure oxygen tank in order to restore their blood-oxygen levels. Only three seconds of being on pure oxygen is enough to completely restore a Harpy's blood oxygen saturation.

'''Naming Conventions:''' ???

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

* Extreme low density, HarpDionaies are lighter than even Felinids, and weigh half as much as a Human.
* A Harpy breathes in air twice as often as Humans, inhaling and exhaling every 3 seconds.
** Air tanks last half as long and Harpies are more susceptible than usual to low air quality.
** If a Harpy is exposed to at least 0.2 moles of combined CO2 and/or Miasma, they start struggling to take in oxygen.

== Arachnid ==
[[File:Arachnid.png|64px]]

Not to be confused with insectoids, Arachnids cut a striking figure with their pressure-resistant exoskeletons and extra arms. Possibly related to the space spiders and giant tarantulas found in outer space. Thanks to their similarly robust digestive systems, they are able to consume raw food without the risk of disease. note: Disease is still under development and not implemented in game yet.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Latin (ex. Pluribus Unum)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Slow metabolism.
* (BUG?: At the moment Arachnid do NOT get poisoned.) Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

'''Special ability'''
* They have two extra pocket slots formed by webs.
* Silk: Can weive silk at the expense of hunger and craft various things.
Silk can be used to create furniture , clothes , walls and even shields. this will help handle more critical situations (ex: craft a winter coat when temperature drops , seal a spaced area using a wall). only Arachids are able to utilize the silk for crafting.
* Slow metabolism: they have 50% slower reagant metabolism than other species which takes extra time for medicines to work and to satiate thirst and hunger on the other it takes more time to get poisoned by any poisons/toxins. This has no effect on externally applied reagents, so spilling a acid on an Arachnid will kill them just the same as anyone else.

'''Benefits'''
* Melee: Do Slashing damage instead of Blunt.
* Take significantly less barotrauma(spacing) damage.
* Metabolizes stuff in their stomach 50% slower. Meaning that they can go a a longer time without eating anything on a shift.
* Two extra pocket slots.

'''Drawbacks'''
* While suffocating, takes 50% more Asphyxiation damage and recovers it only at half speed.
* Cannot use the outerwear storage slot.
* They have blue blood, requiring Copper instead of Iron to regenerate. Iron will poison them instead.

== Diona ==
[[File:Diona.png|64px]]

Tree-like plant people whose bodies react with fertilizer and weed-killing chemicals similar to regular plants.
Upon death, and gibbing, they split into 3 nymphs that represent an organ each: Brain, Stomach and Lungs. The player will become the Brain Nymph and can reform into a fully fledged Diona after 10 minutes.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Qualia[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia] (ex. A Peaceful Sunrise)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat everything a Human can.
* They get hungry slower, and thirsty faster.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants: Weed Killer poisons them and Robust Harvest heals them.

'''Special ability'''
* Plant Chemicals: They are affected by chemicals that affect plantsexcluding mutegants, this means that they can heal and benefit from fertilizers (ex: robust harvest can heal most of the brute damage), but plant toxins and pesticides will damage them too.
* Death: Can gib themselves into Nymphs after death, then reform after 10 minutes.
** This will heal them from all injuries and even manage to revive themselve from unrevivable situations (ex: radiation damage).
** Reform: It takes 10 minutes to be reformed back to Diona state from the Nymphs state. This leaves the Nymphs valnurable to other dangers (including spacing).
** Body: Reformed nymphs will have different body from the old Diona which will have different name and traits (such as gender).
** Memory: Reformed nymphs will keep their's character basic knowledge (only if it is an antagonist and the job), and looses any previous character's memories from it's death (other perhaps than the need to run away and find safety).
** Nymphs: There are normally 3 pet-like Nymphs. The original player take control of the "Brain" nymph. The only one able to talk. The other two can be taken over by ghosts if given cognizine.
** A zombified Diona is able to split once dead (or after giving up and returning to body) and the resulting nymphs will be zombified, though unable to reform.
* Tree form. Being exposed to 80u or more of Rodust Harvest will cause a Diona to grow out of control, turning into an immobile tree (dropping all their equipment). Cutting down the tree will "restone" the Diona to their mobile state.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 20% less Slash damage.
* Take 30% less Blunt damage.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* While suffocating, takes half the Asphyxiation damage and recovers at the normal rate.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 50% more Heat damage.
* Take 20% more Shock damage.
* Roots: Cannot wear shoes. They are unable to wear any shoes and protect their feet from debris and shards (wearing a hardsuit can minigate this issue and protect their feet) and are unable to gain any benefit from them (ex: magboots, speedboots).
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* Ignite: If they take big enough Heat damage from any source, they get ignited and catch on fire (the fire damage/size depends on the amount of heat damage being dealt: a laser rifle will not burn as much compared to a vintage laser pistol / X-ray rifle)
== Vulpkanin ==
[[File:Vulpkanin.png|64px]]

The Vulpkanin (vulp-ka-nin) are a race of humanoid canine-like beings.

[[File:Moth.png|64px]]

Moth People, meanwhile, actually ''are'' an insectoid species. This insect people with wings and antennae, come in a variety of colors and patterns. Their wings allow them greater control in zero gravity than other species, and their natural resistance to cold helps greatly in a space environment. The tradeoff, naturally, is that heat is more dangerous.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, (ex. John Doe)

'''Diet'''

Moths have an exclusive cloth and fruit diet. This includes most clothings items in game. In addition chefs can make moth-specific recepies like cotton pizza and other things.
* clothings items

* Diet: Moths have an exclusive cloth diet that can also include fruits. Moths cannot eat most things from other species, however they can eat cloth, gloves and other clothing items which are exclusive to them and are in higher abudance, in addition chefs can prepare moth specific food recipes for them.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 30% less Cold damage from all sources.
* Having wings makes it easier to move in zero-gravity environments.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 30% more Heat damage from all sources.

* They are unable to swallow any pills due to their diet, requiring them to be dissolved in other mediums instead.

== Vox ==
[[File:Fullvox.png|64px]]

Vox are a strange lot, they're raptor-like creatures that can only breathe nitrogen, as oxygen is '''very hazardous''' to their health to the point where they take ticking poison damage as long as they're exposed to the air, provided said air has even a trace of oxygen within it. To counter-act this, a Vox must either be in a pure nitrogen-based environment or, more commonly, breathing from a nitrogen tank, one of which is provided to them at the start of each round. Much like Reptilians, their unarmed attacks deal slashing damage instread of blunt.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, Mono-name with Repetitive Random Syllables (ex. Hirixashahre, Xapikrikrik)

'''Diet'''
* Nothing special, similar to Humans.

'''Special''' None

'''Benefits'''
* Claws: Do Slash damage instead of Blunt on unarmed attacks.

'''Drawbacks'''

* They have an easier time prying open doors, taking around 50% less time than other species.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Their accuracy with guns is terrible.

Mdempg: Continue work on Uncommon Other

{{Stub}}

During your time on station you may find yourself face to face (or face to mirror) with the not quite human. Be they aliens, mutated humans, or self aware constructs you're expected to try and coexist on this deathtrap.
Learning their quirks can be key to knowing how to keep them amicable in times of peace, and easy to put down in times of strife.

Delta-V features a diverse array of playable species, including Slime People, Rodentia, Reptilians, Felinids, Harpies, Humans, Arachnids, Diona, Vulpkanin, Moth People, Vox, and Oni. There is also a number of uncommon humanoids. Each species possesses its own unique set of statistics, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as, in some cases, distinct anatomical traits. However, despite these differences, all species share several commonalities:

* All species are able to equip the same tools and items (with a few exceptions).
* All species can metabolize reagents and experience their effects.
* All species are subject to the fundamental laws of physics, including temperature, pressure, atmospheric composition, gravity, radiation, electric current, and inertia.
* All species benefit from limited passive regeneration, allowing them to heal BRUTE and HEAT damage over time, provided their total damage remains below 20.
* All species are capable of utilizing psionic powers.
* All species communicate using a common language.
* All species are to be treated equally by both the crew and the AI onboard.

= Roundstart Humanoids =
The following species can currently be selected in the character creation menu, meaning you can expect to see most of them during any given round.

Humans are considered the baseline for drawbacks and benefits.

== Human ==
[[File:Human.png|64px]]

Baseline, unmodified human beings, functionally similar to the human beings of our world. You're (hopefully) one in real life.

[[File:Arachnid.png|64px]]

Not to be confused with insectoids, Arachnids cut a striking figure with their pressure-resistant exoskeletons and extra arms. Possibly related to the space spiders and giant tarantulas found in outer space. Thanks to their similarly robust digestive systems, they are able to consume raw food without the risk of disease. note: Disease is still under development and not implemented in game yet.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Latin (ex. Pluribus Unum)

* Slow metabolism: they have 50% slower reagant metabolism than other species which takes extra time for medicines to work and to satiate thirst and hunger on the other it takes more time to get poisoned by any poisons/toxins. This has no effect on externally applied reagents, so spilling a acid on an Arachnid will kill them just the same as anyone else.

'''Benefits'''
* Melee: Do Slashing damage instead of Blunt.
* Take significantly less barotrauma(spacing) damage.
* Metabolizes stuff in their stomach 50% slower. Meaning that they can go a a longer time without eating anything on a shift.
* Two extra pocket slots.
* Do not get poisoned from Mechatoxin (the poison space taranulas have).

'''Drawbacks'''
* While suffocating, takes 50% more Asphyxiation damage and recovers it only at half speed.
* Cannot use the outerwear storage slot.
* They have blue blood, requiring Copper instead of Iron to regenerate. Iron will poison them instead.

== Diona ==
[[File:Diona.png|64px]]

Tree-like plant people whose bodies react with fertilizer and weed-killing chemicals similar to regular plants.
Upon death, and gibbing, they split into 3 nymphs that represent an organ each: Brain, Stomach and Lungs. The player will become the Brain Nymph and can reform into a fully fledged Diona after 10 minutes.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Qualia[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia] (ex. A Peaceful Sunrise)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat everything a Human can.
* They get hungry slower, and thirsty faster.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants: Weed Killer poisons them and Robust Harvest heals them.

'''Special ability'''
* Plant Chemicals: They are affected by chemicals that affect plantsexcluding mutegants, this means that they can heal and benefit from fertilizers (ex: robust harvest can heal most of the brute damage), but plant toxins and pesticides will damage them too.
* Death: Can gib themselves into Nymphs after death, then reform after 10 minutes.
** This will heal them from all injuries and even manage to revive themselve from unrevivable situations (ex: radiation damage).
** Reform: It takes 10 minutes to be reformed back to Diona state from the Nymphs state. This leaves the Nymphs valnurable to other dangers (including spacing).
** Body: Reformed nymphs will have different body from the old Diona which will have different name and traits (such as gender).
** Memory: Reformed nymphs will keep their's character basic knowledge (only if it is an antagonist and the job), and looses any previous character's memories from it's death (other perhaps than the need to run away and find safety).
** Nymphs: There are normally 3 pet-like Nymphs. The original player take control of the "Brain" nymph. The only one able to talk. The other two can be taken over by ghosts if given cognizine.
** A zombified Diona is able to split once dead (or after giving up and returning to body) and the resulting nymphs will be zombified, though unable to reform.
* Tree form. Being exposed to 80u or more of Rodust Harvest will cause a Diona to grow out of control, turning into an immobile tree (dropping all their equipment). Cutting down the tree will "restone" the Diona to their mobile state.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 20% less Slash damage.
* Take 30% less Blunt damage.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* While suffocating, takes half the Asphyxiation damage and recovers at the normal rate.
* They are heavier than other races and can shove/disarm other races easier.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 50% more Heat damage.
* Take 20% more Shock damage.
* Roots: Cannot wear shoes. They are unable to wear any shoes and protect their feet from debris and shards (wearing a hardsuit can minigate this issue and protect their feet) and are unable to gain any benefit from them (ex: magboots, speedboots).
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* Ignite: If they take big enough Heat damage from any source, they get ignited and catch on fire (the fire damage/size depends on the amount of heat damage being dealt: a laser rifle will not burn as much compared to a vintage laser pistol / X-ray rifle)
== Vulpkanin ==
[[File:Vulpkanin.png|64px]]

The Vulpkanin (vulp-ka-nin) are a race of humanoid canine-like beings.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common (ex. John Smith)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

'''Special'''

'''Drawbacks'''
* They take 15% more Heat damage.

== Moth People ==
[[File:Moth.png|64px]]

Moth People, meanwhile, actually ''are'' an insectoid species. This insect people with wings and antennae, come in a variety of colors and patterns. Their wings allow them greater control in zero gravity than other species, and their natural resistance to cold helps greatly in a space environment. The tradeoff, naturally, is that heat is more dangerous.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, (ex. John Doe)

'''Diet'''

Moths have an exclusive cloth and fruit diet. This includes most clothings items in game. In addition chefs can make moth-specific recepies like cotton pizza and other things.
* clothings items
* moth-specific recepies
* fruit

'''Special ability'''
* Wings: Have increased acceleration when moving in zero-g enviroments. Their ability can work when gravity generator fails and even in space/vacumm and helps them get around without a jetpack. The status is 50% higher acceleration than other species.
* Diet: Moths have an exclusive cloth diet that can also include fruits. Moths cannot eat most things from other species, however they can eat cloth, gloves and other clothing items which are exclusive to them and are in higher abudance, in addition chefs can prepare moth specific food recipes for them.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 30% less Cold damage from all sources.
* Having wings makes it easier to move in zero-gravity environments.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 30% more Heat damage from all sources.
* Take 33% more (or 3 times more?) Heat/Burn damage when on fire compared to other species.
* They start taking Heat damage much earlier at 5co lower than other races. Intense heat will quickly burn them.
* They are slightly easier to carry and shove than Humans.
* They are unable to swallow any pills due to their diet, requiring them to be dissolved in other mediums instead.

== Vox ==
[[File:Fullvox.png|64px]]

Vox are a strange lot, they're raptor-like creatures that can only breathe nitrogen, as oxygen is '''very hazardous''' to their health to the point where they take ticking poison damage as long as they're exposed to the air, provided said air has even a trace of oxygen within it. To counter-act this, a Vox must either be in a pure nitrogen-based environment or, more commonly, breathing from a nitrogen tank, one of which is provided to them at the start of each round. Much like Reptilians, their unarmed attacks deal slashing damage instread of blunt.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, Mono-name with Repetitive Random Syllables (ex. Hirixashahre, Xapikrikrik)

'''Diet'''
* Nothing special, similar to Humans.

'''Special''' None

'''Benefits'''
* Claws: Do Slash damage instead of Blunt on unarmed attacks.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Breathing: Oxygen is toxic to them, they require to have internals on at all times and sometimes require to put the mask off when need to eat/swallow anything. There are other alternatives way to get reagents in such as a syringe without need to turn off the internals.

== Oni ==
[[File:Oni.png|64px]]

Large, horned people that come in a variety of colors. Their accuracy with [[Weapons|guns]] is terrible, but their physical strength brings them a lot of boons both in and out of combat.

'''Diet'''

* They are harder to shove.
* Slightly more stamina than Humans.
* They have an easier time prying open doors, taking around 50% less time than other species.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Their accuracy with guns is terrible.
* They are harder to carry and pull.
* They are bigger than Humans, making them easier to hit.

{{Stub}}

During your time on station you may find yourself face to face (or face to mirror) with the not quite human. Be they aliens, mutated humans, or self aware constructs you're expected to try and coexist on this deathtrap.
Learning their quirks can be key to knowing how to keep them amicable in times of peace, and easy to put down in times of strife.

Delta-V features a diverse array of playable species, including Slime People, Rodentia, Reptilians, Felinids, Harpies, Humans, Arachnids, Diona, Vulpkanin, Moth People, Vox, and Oni. There is also a number of uncommon humanoids. Each species possesses its own unique set of statistics, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as, in some cases, distinct anatomical traits. However, despite these differences, all species share several commonalities:

* All species are able to equip the same tools and items (with a few exceptions).
* All species can metabolize reagents and experience their effects.
* All species are subject to the fundamental laws of physics, including temperature, pressure, atmospheric composition, gravity, radiation, electric current, and inertia.
* All species benefit from limited passive regeneration, allowing them to heal BRUTE and HEAT damage over time, provided their total damage remains below 20.
* All species are capable of utilizing psionic powers.
* All species communicate using a common language.
* All species are to be treated equally by both the crew and the AI onboard.

= Roundstart Humanoids =
The following species can currently be selected in the character creation menu, meaning you can expect to see most of them during any given round.

Humans are considered the baseline for drawbacks and benefits.

== Human ==
[[File:Human.png|64px]]

Baseline, unmodified human beings, functionally similar to the human beings of our world. You're (hopefully) one in real life.

[[File:Harpy.png|64px]]

An avian humanoid species that features colorful feathered wings and tails that can mimic almost any sound.

They are quite sensitive to the air quality, and when exposed to low quality air, they will begin to visibly gasp, and eventually start choking. When this happens, a Harpy should either move away from sources of bad air, stand on top of a scrubber for a few seconds, or take a few breaths from a pure oxygen tank in order to restore their blood-oxygen levels. Only three seconds of being on pure oxygen is enough to completely restore a Harpy's blood oxygen saturation.

** Air tanks last half as long and Harpies are more susceptible than usual to low air quality.
** If a Harpy is exposed to at least 0.2 moles of combined CO2 and/or Miasma, they start struggling to take in oxygen.

== Arachnid ==
[[File:Arachnid.png|64px]]

Not to be confused with insectoids, Arachnids cut a striking figure with their pressure-resistant exoskeletons and extra arms. Possibly related to the space spiders and giant tarantulas found in outer space. Thanks to their similarly robust digestive systems, they are able to consume raw food without the risk of disease. note: Disease is still under development and not implemented in game yet.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Latin (ex. Pluribus Unum)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Slow metabolism.
* (BUG?: At the moment Arachnid do NOT get poisoned.) Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

'''Special ability'''
* They have two extra pocket slots formed by webs.
* Silk: Can weive silk at the expense of hunger and craft various things.
Silk can be used to create furniture , clothes , walls and even shields. this will help handle more critical situations (ex: craft a winter coat when temperature drops , seal a spaced area using a wall). only Arachids are able to utilize the silk for crafting.
* Slow metabolism: they have 50% slower reagant metabolism than other species which takes extra time for medicines to work and to satiate thirst and hunger on the other it takes more time to get poisoned by any poisons/toxins. This has no effect on externally applied reagents, so spilling a acid on an Arachnid will kill them just the same as anyone else.

'''Benefits'''
* Melee: Do Slashing damage instead of Blunt.
* Take significantly less barotrauma(spacing) damage.
* Metabolizes stuff in their stomach 50% slower. Meaning that they can go a a longer time without eating anything on a shift.

* They have blue blood, requiring Copper instead of Iron to regenerate. Iron will poison them instead.

== Diona ==
[[File:Diona.png|64px]]

Tree-like plant people whose bodies react with fertilizer and weed-killing chemicals similar to regular plants.
Upon death, and gibbing, they split into 3 nymphs that represent an organ each: Brain, Stomach and Lungs. The player will become the Brain Nymph and can reform into a fully fledged Diona after 10 minutes.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Qualia[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia] (ex. A Peaceful Sunrise)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat everything a Human can.
* They get hungry slower, and thirsty faster.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants: Weed Killer poisons them and Robust Harvest heals them.

'''Special ability'''
* Plant Chemicals: They are affected by chemicals that affect plantsexcluding mutegants, this means that they can heal and benefit from fertilizers (ex: robust harvest can heal most of the brute damage), but plant toxins and pesticides will damage them too.
* Death: Can gib themselves into Nymphs after death, then reform after 10 minutes.
** This will heal them from all injuries and even manage to revive themselve from unrevivable situations (ex: radiation damage).
** Reform: It takes 10 minutes to be reformed back to Diona state from the Nymphs state. This leaves the Nymphs valnurable to other dangers (including spacing).
** Body: Reformed nymphs will have different body from the old Diona which will have different name and traits (such as gender).
** Memory: Reformed nymphs will keep their's character basic knowledge (only if it is an antagonist and the job), and looses any previous character's memories from it's death (other perhaps than the need to run away and find safety).
** Nymphs: There are normally 3 pet-like Nymphs. The original player take control of the "Brain" nymph. The only one able to talk. The other two can be taken over by ghosts if given cognizine.
** A zombified Diona is able to split once dead (or after giving up and returning to body) and the resulting nymphs will be zombified, though unable to reform.
* Tree form. Being exposed to 80u or more of Rodust Harvest will cause a Diona to grow out of control, turning into an immobile tree (dropping all their equipment). Cutting down the tree will "restone" the Diona to their mobile state.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 20% less Slash damage.
* Take 30% less Blunt damage.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* While suffocating, takes half the Asphyxiation damage and recovers at the normal rate.
* They are heavier than other races and can shove/disarm other races easier.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 50% more Heat damage.
* Take 20% more Shock damage.
* Roots: Cannot wear shoes. They are unable to wear any shoes and protect their feet from debris and shards (wearing a hardsuit can minigate this issue and protect their feet) and are unable to gain any benefit from them (ex: magboots, speedboots).
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* Ignite: If they take big enough Heat damage from any source, they get ignited and catch on fire (the fire damage/size depends on the amount of heat damage being dealt: a laser rifle will not burn as much compared to a vintage laser pistol / X-ray rifle)
== Vulpkanin ==
[[File:Vulpkanin.png|64px]]

The Vulpkanin (vulp-ka-nin) are a race of humanoid canine-like beings.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common (ex. John Smith)

* Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

'''Special'''
* Trait: Have the Deuteranopia trait by default. This can be disabled via accessibility options.

'''Benefits'''
* Claws: do Slashing and Blunt damage.
* Their fur makes them able to withstand [[Maps#Glacier_Station|cold environments]] without the need of a coat.

'''Drawbacks'''
* They take 15% more Heat damage.

== Moth People ==
[[File:Moth.png|64px]]

Moth People, meanwhile, actually ''are'' an insectoid species. This insect people with wings and antennae, come in a variety of colors and patterns. Their wings allow them greater control in zero gravity than other species, and their natural resistance to cold helps greatly in a space environment. The tradeoff, naturally, is that heat is more dangerous.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, (ex. John Doe)

'''Diet'''

Moths have an exclusive cloth and fruit diet. This includes most clothings items in game. In addition chefs can make moth-specific recepies like cotton pizza and other things.
* clothings items
* moth-specific recepies
* fruit

'''Special ability'''
* Wings: Have increased acceleration when moving in zero-g enviroments. Their ability can work when gravity generator fails and even in space/vacumm and helps them get around without a jetpack. The status is 50% higher acceleration than other species.
* Diet: Moths have an exclusive cloth diet that can also include fruits. Moths cannot eat most things from other species, however they can eat cloth, gloves and other clothing items which are exclusive to them and are in higher abudance, in addition chefs can prepare moth specific food recipes for them.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 30% less Cold damage from all sources.
* Having wings makes it easier to move in zero-gravity environments.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 30% more Heat damage from all sources.
* Take 33% more (or 3 times more?) Heat/Burn damage when on fire compared to other species.
* They start taking Heat damage much earlier at 5co lower than other races. Intense heat will quickly burn them.
* They are slightly easier to carry and shove than Humans.
* They are unable to swallow any pills due to their diet, requiring them to be dissolved in other mediums instead.

== Vox ==
[[File:Fullvox.png|64px]]

Vox are a strange lot, they're raptor-like creatures that can only breathe nitrogen, as oxygen is '''very hazardous''' to their health to the point where they take ticking poison damage as long as they're exposed to the air, provided said air has even a trace of oxygen within it. To counter-act this, a Vox must either be in a pure nitrogen-based environment or, more commonly, breathing from a nitrogen tank, one of which is provided to them at the start of each round. Much like Reptilians, their unarmed attacks deal slashing damage instread of blunt.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, Mono-name with Repetitive Random Syllables (ex. Hirixashahre, Xapikrikrik)

'''Diet'''
* Nothing special, similar to Humans.

'''Special''' None

'''Benefits'''
* Claws: Do Slash damage instead of Blunt on unarmed attacks.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Breathing: Oxygen is toxic to them, they require to have internals on at all times and sometimes require to put the mask off when need to eat/swallow anything. There are other alternatives way to get reagents in such as a syringe without need to turn off the internals.

== Oni ==
[[File:Oni.png|64px]]

Large, horned people that come in a variety of colors. Their accuracy with [[Weapons|guns]] is terrible, but their physical strength brings them a lot of boons both in and out of combat.

'''Diet'''

'''Benefits'''
* Take 15% less Blunt damage.
* Take 15% less Slash damage.
* Take 15% less Piercing damage.
* Do more damage in melee:
** 35% more Blunt and Asphyxiation.
** 20% more Slash and Piercing.
* Due to their big size, they can easily carry, shove and pull any other morphotypes.
* They are harder to shove.
* Slightly more stamina than Humans.
* They have an easier time prying open doors, taking around 50% less time than other species.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Their accuracy with guns is terrible.
* They are harder to carry and pull.
* They are bigger than Humans, making them easier to hit.

{{Stub}}

During your time on station you may find yourself face to face (or face to mirror) with the not quite human. Be they aliens, mutated humans, or self aware constructs you're expected to try and coexist on this deathtrap.
Learning their quirks can be key to knowing how to keep them amicable in times of peace, and easy to put down in times of strife.

Delta-V features a diverse array of playable species, including Slime People, Rodentia, Reptilians, Felinids, Harpies, Humans, Arachnids, Diona, Vulpkanin, Moth People, Vox, and Oni. There is also a number of uncommon humanoids. Each species possesses its own unique set of statistics, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as, in some cases, distinct anatomical traits. However, despite these differences, all species share several commonalities:

* All species are able to equip the same tools and items (with a few exceptions).
* All species can metabolize reagents and experience their effects.
* All species are subject to the fundamental laws of physics, including temperature, pressure, atmospheric composition, gravity, radiation, electric current, and inertia.
* All species benefit from limited passive regeneration, allowing them to heal BRUTE and HEAT damage over time, provided their total damage remains below 20.
* All species are capable of utilizing psionic powers.
* All species communicate using a common language.
* All species are to be treated equally by both the crew and the AI onboard.

= Roundstart Humanoids =
The following species can currently be selected in the character creation menu, meaning you can expect to see most of them during any given round.

Humans are considered the baseline for drawbacks and benefits.

== Human ==
[[File:Human.png|64px]]

Baseline, unmodified human beings, functionally similar to the human beings of our world. You're (hopefully) one in real life.

== Harpy ==
[[File:Harpy.png|64px]]

An avian humanoid species that features colorful feathered wings and tails that can mimic almost any sound.

They are quite sensitive to the air quality, and when exposed to low quality air, they will begin to visibly gasp, and eventually start choking. When this happens, a Harpy should either move away from sources of bad air, stand on top of a scrubber for a few seconds, or take a few breaths from a pure oxygen tank in order to restore their blood-oxygen levels. Only three seconds of being on pure oxygen is enough to completely restore a Harpy's blood oxygen saturation.

** Air tanks last half as long and Harpies are more susceptible than usual to low air quality.
** If a Harpy is exposed to at least 0.2 moles of combined CO2 and/or Miasma, they start struggling to take in oxygen.

== Arachnid ==
[[File:Arachnid.png|64px]]

Not to be confused with insectoids, Arachnids cut a striking figure with their pressure-resistant exoskeletons and extra arms. Possibly related to the space spiders and giant tarantulas found in outer space. Thanks to their similarly robust digestive systems, they are able to consume raw food without the risk of disease. note: Disease is still under development and not implemented in game yet.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Latin (ex. Pluribus Unum)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Slow metabolism.
* (BUG?: At the moment Arachnid do NOT get poisoned.) Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

'''Special ability'''
* They have two extra pocket slots formed by webs.
* Silk: Can weive silk at the expense of hunger and craft various things.
Silk can be used to create furniture , clothes , walls and even shields. this will help handle more critical situations (ex: craft a winter coat when temperature drops , seal a spaced area using a wall). only Arachids are able to utilize the silk for crafting.
* Slow metabolism: they have 50% slower reagant metabolism than other species which takes extra time for medicines to work and to satiate thirst and hunger on the other it takes more time to get poisoned by any poisons/toxins. This has no effect on externally applied reagents, so spilling a acid on an Arachnid will kill them just the same as anyone else.

'''Benefits'''
* Melee: Do Slashing damage instead of Blunt.
* Take significantly less barotrauma(spacing) damage.
* Metabolizes stuff in their stomach 50% slower. Meaning that they can go a a longer time without eating anything on a shift.
* Two extra pocket slots.

== Diona ==
[[File:Diona.png|64px]]

Tree-like plant people whose bodies react with fertilizer and weed-killing chemicals similar to regular plants.
Upon death, and gibbing, they split into 3 nymphs that represent an organ each: Brain, Stomach and Lungs. The player will become the Brain Nymph and can reform into a fully fledged Diona after 10 minutes.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Qualia[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia] (ex. A Peaceful Sunrise)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat everything a Human can.
* They get hungry slower, and thirsty faster.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants: Weed Killer poisons them and Robust Harvest heals them.

'''Special ability'''
* Plant Chemicals: They are affected by chemicals that affect plantsexcluding mutegants, this means that they can heal and benefit from fertilizers (ex: robust harvest can heal most of the brute damage), but plant toxins and pesticides will damage them too.
* Death: Can gib themselves into Nymphs after death, then reform after 10 minutes.
** This will heal them from all injuries and even manage to revive themselve from unrevivable situations (ex: radiation damage).
** Reform: It takes 10 minutes to be reformed back to Diona state from the Nymphs state. This leaves the Nymphs valnurable to other dangers (including spacing).
** Body: Reformed nymphs will have different body from the old Diona which will have different name and traits (such as gender).
** Memory: Reformed nymphs will keep their's character basic knowledge (only if it is an antagonist and the job), and looses any previous character's memories from it's death (other perhaps than the need to run away and find safety).
** Nymphs: There are normally 3 pet-like Nymphs. The original player take control of the "Brain" nymph. The only one able to talk. The other two can be taken over by ghosts if given cognizine.
** A zombified Diona is able to split once dead (or after giving up and returning to body) and the resulting nymphs will be zombified, though unable to reform.
* Tree form. Being exposed to 80u or more of Rodust Harvest will cause a Diona to grow out of control, turning into an immobile tree (dropping all their equipment). Cutting down the tree will "restone" the Diona to their mobile state.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 20% less Slash damage.
* Take 30% less Blunt damage.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* While suffocating, takes half the Asphyxiation damage and recovers at the normal rate.
* They are heavier than other races and can shove/disarm other races easier.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 50% more Heat damage.
* Take 20% more Shock damage.
* Roots: Cannot wear shoes. They are unable to wear any shoes and protect their feet from debris and shards (wearing a hardsuit can minigate this issue and protect their feet) and are unable to gain any benefit from them (ex: magboots, speedboots).
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* Ignite: If they take big enough Heat damage from any source, they get ignited and catch on fire (the fire damage/size depends on the amount of heat damage being dealt: a laser rifle will not burn as much compared to a vintage laser pistol / X-ray rifle)
== Vulpkanin ==
[[File:Vulpkanin.png|64px]]

The Vulpkanin (vulp-ka-nin) are a race of humanoid canine-like beings.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common (ex. John Smith)

'''Drawbacks'''
* They take 15% more Heat damage.

== Moth People ==
[[File:Moth.png|64px]]

Moth People, meanwhile, actually ''are'' an insectoid species. This insect people with wings and antennae, come in a variety of colors and patterns. Their wings allow them greater control in zero gravity than other species, and their natural resistance to cold helps greatly in a space environment. The tradeoff, naturally, is that heat is more dangerous.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, (ex. John Doe)

'''Diet'''

Moths have an exclusive cloth and fruit diet. This includes most clothings items in game. In addition chefs can make moth-specific recepies like cotton pizza and other things.
* clothings items
* moth-specific recepies
* fruit

'''Special ability'''
* Wings: Have increased acceleration when moving in zero-g enviroments. Their ability can work when gravity generator fails and even in space/vacumm and helps them get around without a jetpack. The status is 50% higher acceleration than other species.
* Diet: Moths have an exclusive cloth diet that can also include fruits. Moths cannot eat most things from other species, however they can eat cloth, gloves and other clothing items which are exclusive to them and are in higher abudance, in addition chefs can prepare moth specific food recipes for them.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 30% less Cold damage from all sources.
* Having wings makes it easier to move in zero-gravity environments.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 30% more Heat damage from all sources.
* Take 33% more (or 3 times more?) Heat/Burn damage when on fire compared to other species.
* They start taking Heat damage much earlier at 5co lower than other races. Intense heat will quickly burn them.
* They are slightly easier to carry and shove than Humans.
* They are unable to swallow any pills due to their diet, requiring them to be dissolved in other mediums instead.

== Vox ==
[[File:Fullvox.png|64px]]

Vox are a strange lot, they're raptor-like creatures that can only breathe nitrogen, as oxygen is '''very hazardous''' to their health to the point where they take ticking poison damage as long as they're exposed to the air, provided said air has even a trace of oxygen within it. To counter-act this, a Vox must either be in a pure nitrogen-based environment or, more commonly, breathing from a nitrogen tank, one of which is provided to them at the start of each round. Much like Reptilians, their unarmed attacks deal slashing damage instread of blunt.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, Mono-name with Repetitive Random Syllables (ex. Hirixashahre, Xapikrikrik)

'''Diet'''
* Nothing special, similar to Humans.

'''Special''' None

'''Benefits'''
* Claws: Do Slash damage instead of Blunt on unarmed attacks.

'''Drawbacks'''

Mdempg: Edits from the discord list (HTML/Crystal #TeamJani)

{{Stub}}

During your time on station you may find yourself face to face (or face to mirror) with the not quite human. Be they aliens, mutated humans, or self aware constructs you're expected to try and coexist on this deathtrap.
Learning their quirks can be key to knowing how to keep them amicable in times of peace, and easy to put down in times of strife.

Delta-V features a diverse array of playable species, including Slime People, Rodentia, Reptilians, Felinids, Harpies, Humans, Arachnids, Diona, Vulpkanin, Moth People, Vox, and Oni. There is also a number of uncommon humanoids. Each species possesses its own unique set of statistics, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as, in some cases, distinct anatomical traits. However, despite these differences, all species share several commonalities:

* All species are able to equip the same tools and items (with a few exceptions).
* All species can metabolize reagents and experience their effects.
* All species are subject to the fundamental laws of physics, including temperature, pressure, atmospheric composition, gravity, radiation, electric current, and inertia.
* All species benefit from limited passive regeneration, allowing them to heal BRUTE and HEAT damage over time, provided their total damage remains below 20.
* All species are capable of utilizing psionic powers.
* All species communicate using a common language.
* All species are to be treated equally by both the crew and the AI onboard.

= Roundstart Humanoids =
The following species can currently be selected in the character creation menu, meaning you can expect to see most of them during any given round.

Humans are considered the baseline for drawbacks and benefits.

== Human ==
[[File:Human.png|64px]]

Baseline, unmodified human beings, functionally similar to the human beings of our world. You're (hopefully) one in real life.

* They have slightly less stamina than Humans.

== Harpy ==
[[File:Harpy.png|64px]]

An avian humanoid species that features colorful feathered wings and tails that can mimic almost any sound.

They are quite sensitive to the air quality, and when exposed to low quality air, they will begin to visibly gasp, and eventually start choking. When this happens, a Harpy should either move away from sources of bad air, stand on top of a scrubber for a few seconds, or take a few breaths from a pure oxygen tank in order to restore their blood-oxygen levels. Only three seconds of being on pure oxygen is enough to completely restore a Harpy's blood oxygen saturation.

'''Naming Conventions:''' ???

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

* Moves 10% faster than other species.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 15% more Blunt damage.
* Take 15% more Slash damage.
* Take 15% more Piercing damage.
* Extreme low density, HarpDionaies are lighter than even Felinids, and weigh half as much as a Human.
* A Harpy breathes in air twice as often as Humans, inhaling and exhaling every 3 seconds.
** Air tanks last half as long and Harpies are more susceptible than usual to low air quality.
** If a Harpy is exposed to at least 0.2 moles of combined CO2 and/or Miasma, they start struggling to take in oxygen.

== Arachnid ==
[[File:Arachnid.png|64px]]

Not to be confused with insectoids, Arachnids cut a striking figure with their pressure-resistant exoskeletons and extra arms. Possibly related to the space spiders and giant tarantulas found in outer space. Thanks to their similarly robust digestive systems, they are able to consume raw food without the risk of disease. note: Disease is still under development and not implemented in game yet.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Latin (ex. Pluribus Unum)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Slow metabolism.
* (BUG?: At the moment Arachnid do NOT get poisoned.) Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

'''Special ability'''
* They have two extra pocket slots formed by webs.
* Silk: Can weive silk at the expense of hunger and craft various things.
Silk can be used to create furniture , clothes , walls and even shields. this will help handle more critical situations (ex: craft a winter coat when temperature drops , seal a spaced area using a wall). only Arachids are able to utilize the silk for crafting.
* Slow metabolism: they have 50% slower reagant metabolism than other species which takes extra time for medicines to work and to satiate thirst and hunger on the other it takes more time to get poisoned by any poisons/toxins. This has no effect on externally applied reagents, so spilling a acid on an Arachnid will kill them just the same as anyone else.

'''Benefits'''
* Melee: Do Slashing damage instead of Blunt.
* Take significantly less barotrauma(spacing) damage.
* Metabolizes stuff in their stomach 50% slower. Meaning that they can go a a longer time without eating anything on a shift.
* Two extra pocket slots.
* Do not get poisoned from Mechatoxin (the poison space taranulas have).

'''Drawbacks'''
* While suffocating, takes 50% more Asphyxiation damage and recovers it only at half speed.
* Cannot use the outerwear storage slot.
* They have blue blood, requiring Copper instead of Iron to regenerate. Iron will poison them instead.

== Diona ==
[[File:Diona.png|64px]]

Tree-like plant people whose bodies react with fertilizer and weed-killing chemicals similar to regular plants.
Upon death, and gibbing, they split into 3 nymphs that represent an organ each: Brain, Stomach and Lungs. The player will become the Brain Nymph and can reform into a fully fledged Diona after 10 minutes.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Qualia[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia] (ex. A Peaceful Sunrise)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat everything a Human can.
* They get hungry slower, and thirsty faster.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants: Weed Killer poisons them and Robust Harvest heals them.

'''Special ability'''
* Plant Chemicals: They are affected by chemicals that affect plantsexcluding mutegants, this means that they can heal and benefit from fertilizers (ex: robust harvest can heal most of the brute damage), but plant toxins and pesticides will damage them too.
* Death: Can gib themselves into Nymphs after death, then reform after 10 minutes.
** This will heal them from all injuries and even manage to revive themselve from unrevivable situations (ex: radiation damage).
** Reform: It takes 10 minutes to be reformed back to Diona state from the Nymphs state. This leaves the Nymphs valnurable to other dangers (including spacing).
** Body: Reformed nymphs will have different body from the old Diona which will have different name and traits (such as gender).
** Memory: Reformed nymphs will keep their's character basic knowledge (only if it is an antagonist and the job), and looses any previous character's memories from it's death (other perhaps than the need to run away and find safety).
** Nymphs: There are normally 3 pet-like Nymphs. The original player take control of the "Brain" nymph. The only one able to talk. The other two can be taken over by ghosts if given cognizine.
** A zombified Diona is able to split once dead (or after giving up and returning to body) and the resulting nymphs will be zombified, though unable to reform.
* Tree form. Being exposed to 80u or more of Rodust Harvest will cause a Diona to grow out of control, turning into an immobile tree (dropping all their equipment). Cutting down the tree will "restone" the Diona to their mobile state.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 20% less Slash damage.
* Take 30% less Blunt damage.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* While suffocating, takes half the Asphyxiation damage and recovers at the normal rate.
* They are heavier than other races and can shove/disarm other races easier.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 50% more Heat damage.
* Take 20% more Shock damage.
* Roots: Cannot wear shoes. They are unable to wear any shoes and protect their feet from debris and shards (wearing a hardsuit can minigate this issue and protect their feet) and are unable to gain any benefit from them (ex: magboots, speedboots).
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* Ignite: If they take big enough Heat damage from any source, they get ignited and catch on fire (the fire damage/size depends on the amount of heat damage being dealt: a laser rifle will not burn as much compared to a vintage laser pistol / X-ray rifle)
== Vulpkanin ==
[[File:Vulpkanin.png|64px]]

The Vulpkanin (vulp-ka-nin) are a race of humanoid canine-like beings.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common (ex. John Smith)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

'''Special'''
* Trait: Have the Deuteranopia trait by default. This can be disabled via accessibility options.

'''Benefits'''
* Claws: do Slashing and Blunt damage.
* Their fur makes them able to withstand [[Maps#Glacier_Station|cold environments]] without the need of a coat.

'''Drawbacks'''
* They take 15% more Heat damage.

== Moth People ==
[[File:Moth.png|64px]]

Moth People, meanwhile, actually ''are'' an insectoid species. This insect people with wings and antennae, come in a variety of colors and patterns. Their wings allow them greater control in zero gravity than other species, and their natural resistance to cold helps greatly in a space environment. The tradeoff, naturally, is that heat is more dangerous.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, (ex. John Doe)

'''Diet'''

Moths have an exclusive cloth and fruit diet. This includes most clothings items in game. In addition chefs can make moth-specific recepies like cotton pizza and other things.
* clothings items
* moth-specific recepies
* fruit

'''Special ability'''
* Wings: Have increased acceleration when moving in zero-g enviroments. Their ability can work when gravity generator fails and even in space/vacumm and helps them get around without a jetpack. The status is 50% higher acceleration than other species.
* Diet: Moths have an exclusive cloth diet that can also include fruits. Moths cannot eat most things from other species, however they can eat cloth, gloves and other clothing items which are exclusive to them and are in higher abudance, in addition chefs can prepare moth specific food recipes for them.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 30% less Cold damage from all sources.
* Having wings makes it easier to move in zero-gravity environments.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 30% more Heat damage from all sources.
* Take 33% more (or 3 times more?) Heat/Burn damage when on fire compared to other species.
* They start taking Heat damage much earlier at 5co lower than other races. Intense heat will quickly burn them.
* They are slightly easier to carry and shove than Humans.
* They are unable to swallow any pills due to their diet, requiring them to be dissolved in other mediums instead.

== Vox ==
[[File:Fullvox.png|64px]]

Vox are a strange lot, they're raptor-like creatures that can only breathe nitrogen, as oxygen is '''very hazardous''' to their health to the point where they take ticking poison damage as long as they're exposed to the air, provided said air has even a trace of oxygen within it. To counter-act this, a Vox must either be in a pure nitrogen-based environment or, more commonly, breathing from a nitrogen tank, one of which is provided to them at the start of each round. Much like Reptilians, their unarmed attacks deal slashing damage instread of blunt.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, Mono-name with Repetitive Random Syllables (ex. Hirixashahre, Xapikrikrik)

'''Diet'''
* Nothing special, similar to Humans.

'''Special''' None

'''Benefits'''
* Claws: Do Slash damage instead of Blunt on unarmed attacks.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Breathing: Oxygen is toxic to them, they require to have internals on at all times and sometimes require to put the mask off when need to eat/swallow anything. There are other alternatives way to get reagents in such as a syringe without need to turn off the internals.

== Oni ==
[[File:Oni.png|64px]]

Large, horned people that come in a variety of colors. Their accuracy with [[Weapons|guns]] is terrible, but their physical strength brings them a lot of boons both in and out of combat.

'''Diet'''

* Due to their big size, they can easily carry, shove and pull any other morphotypes.
* They are harder to shove.
* Slightly more stamina than Humans.
* They have an easier time prying open doors, taking around 50% less time than other species.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Their accuracy with guns is terrible.
* They are harder to carry and pull.
* They are bigger than Humans, making them easier to hit.

During your time on station you may find yourself face to face (or face to mirror) with the not quite human. Be they aliens, mutated humans, or self aware constructs you're expected to try and coexist on this deathtrap.
Learning their quirks can be key to knowing how to keep them amicable in times of peace, and easy to put down in times of strife.

Delta-V features a diverse array of playable species, including Slime People, Rodentia, Reptilians, Felinids, Harpies, Humans, Arachnids, Diona, Vulpkanin, Moth People, Vox, and Oni. There is also a number of uncommon humanoids. Each species possesses its own unique set of statistics, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as, in some cases, distinct anatomical traits. However, despite these differences, all species share several commonalities:

* All species are able to equip the same tools and items.
* All species can metabolize reagents and experience their effects.
* All species are subject to the fundamental laws of physics, including temperature, pressure, atmospheric composition, gravity, radiation, electric current, and inertia.
* All species benefit from limited passive regeneration, allowing them to heal BRUTE and HEAT damage over time, provided their total damage remains below 20.
* All species are capable of utilizing psionic powers.
* All species communicate using a common language.
* All species are to be treated equally by both the crew and the AI onboard.

[[File:Harpy.png|64px]]

An avian humanoid species that features colorful feathered wings and tails that can mimic almost any sound.

They are quite sensitive to the air quality, and when exposed to low quality air, they will begin to visibly gasp, and eventually start choking. When this happens, a Harpy should either move away from sources of bad air, stand on top of a scrubber for a few seconds, or take a few breaths from a pure oxygen tank in order to restore their blood-oxygen levels. Only three seconds of being on pure oxygen is enough to completely restore a Harpy's blood oxygen saturation.

* Extreme low density, HarpDionaies are lighter than even Felinids, and weigh half as much as a Human.
* A Harpy breathes in air twice as often as Humans, inhaling and exhaling every 3 seconds.
** Air tanks last half as long and Harpies are more susceptible than usual to low air quality.
** If a Harpy is exposed to at least 0.2 moles of combined CO2 and/or Miasma, they start struggling to take in oxygen.

== Arachnid ==
[[File:Arachnid.png|64px]]

Not to be confused with insectoids, Arachnids cut a striking figure with their pressure-resistant exoskeletons and extra arms. Possibly related to the space spiders and giant tarantulas found in outer space. Thanks to their similarly robust digestive systems, they are able to consume raw food without the risk of disease. note: Disease is still under development and not implemented in game yet.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Latin (ex. Pluribus Unum)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Slow metabolism.
* (BUG?: At the moment Arachnid do NOT get poisoned.) Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

'''Special ability'''
* They have two extra pocket slots formed by webs.
* Silk: Can weive silk at the expense of hunger and craft various things.
Silk can be used to create furniture , clothes , walls and even shields. this will help handle more critical situations (ex: craft a winter coat when temperature drops , seal a spaced area using a wall). only Arachids are able to utilize the silk for crafting.
* Slow metabolism: they have 50% slower reagant metabolism than other species which takes extra time for medicines to work and to satiate thirst and hunger on the other it takes more time to get poisoned by any poisons/toxins. This has no effect on externally applied reagents, so spilling a acid on an Arachnid will kill them just the same as anyone else.

'''Benefits'''
* Melee: Do Slashing damage instead of Blunt.
* Take significantly less barotrauma(spacing) damage.
* Metabolizes stuff in their stomach 50% faster.
* Two extra pocket slots.

'''Drawbacks'''

* They uses 50% more oxygen to breath.
* They have blue blood, requiring Copper instead of Iron to regenerate. Iron will poison them instead.

== Diona ==

Upon death, and gibbing, they split into 3 nymphs that represent an organ each: Brain, Stomach and Lungs. The player will become the Brain Nymph and can reform into a fully fledged Diona after 10 minutes.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Qualia[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia] (ex. A Peaceful Sunrise)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat everything a Human can.
* They get hungry slower, and thirsty faster.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants: Weed Killer poisons them and Robust Harvest heals them.

'''Special ability'''
* Plant Chemicals: They are affected by chemicals that affect plantsexcluding mutegants, this means that they can heal and benefit from fertilizers (ex: robust harvest can heal most of the brute damage), but plant toxins and pesticides will damage them too.
* Death: Can gib themselves into Nymphs after death, then reform after 10 minutes.
** This will heal them from all injuries and even manage to revive themselve from unrevivable situations (ex: radiation damage).
** Reform: It takes 10 minutes to be reformed back to Diona state from the Nymphs state. This leaves the Nymphs valnurable to other dangers (including spacing).
** Body: Reformed nymphs will have different body from the old Diona which will have different name and traits (such as gender).
** Memory: Reformed nymphs will keep their's character basic knowledge (only if it is an antagonist and the job), and looses any previous character's memories from it's death (other perhaps than the need to run away and find safety).
** Nymphs: There are normally 3 pet-like Nymphs. The original player take control of the "Brain" nymph. The only one able to talk. The other two can be taken over by ghosts if given cognizine.
** A zombified Diona is able to split once dead (or after giving up and returning to body) and the resulting nymphs will be zombified, though unable to reform.
* Tree form. Being exposed too much Rodust Harvest will cause a Diona to grow out of control, turning into an immobile tree (dropping all their equipment). Cutting down the tree will "restone" the Diona to their mobile state.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 20% less Slash damage.
* Take 30% less Blunt damage.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* While suffocating, takes half the Asphyxiation damage and recovers at the normal rate.
* They are heavier than other races and can shove/disarm other races easier.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 50% more Heat damage.
* Take 20% more Shock damage.
* Roots: Cannot wear shoes. They are unable to wear any shoes and protect their feet from debris and shards (wearing a hardsuit can minigate this issue and protect their feet) and are unable to gain any benefit from them (ex: magboots, speedboots).
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* Ignite: If they take big enough Heat damage from any source, they get ignited and catch on fire (the fire damage/size depends on the amount of heat damage being dealt: a laser rifle will not burn as much compared to a vintage laser pistol / X-ray rifle)
== Vulpkanin ==
[[File:Vulpkanin.png|64px]]

The Vulpkanin (vulp-ka-nin) are a race of humanoid canine-like beings.

'''Naming Conventions:''' ???

[[File:Moth.png|64px]]

Moth People, meanwhile, actually ''are'' an insectoid species. This insect people with wings and antennae, come in a variety of colors and patterns. Their wings allow them greater control in zero gravity than other species, and their natural resistance to cold helps greatly in a space environment. The tradeoff, naturally, is that heat is more dangerous.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, (ex. John Doe)

'''Diet'''
* Can only eat Cloth and Fruits related foods.
* Can eat Paper.
* Can specially eat Mothic recipes.

'''Special ability'''
* Wings: Have increased acceleration when moving in zero-g enviroments. Their ability can work when gravity generator fails and even in space/vacumm and helps them get around without a jetpack. The status is 50% higher acceleration than other species.
* Diet: Moths have an exclusive cloth diet that can also include fruits. Moths cannot eat most things from other species, however they can eat cloth, gloves and other clothing items which are exclusive to them and are in higher abudance, in addition chefs can prepare moth specific food recipes for them.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 30% less Cold damage from all sources.
* Having wings makes it easier to move in zero-gravity environments.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 30% more Heat damage from all sources.
* Take 33% more (or 3 times more?) Heat/Burn damage when on fire compared to other species.
* They start taking Heat damage much earlier at 5co lower than other races. Intense heat will quickly burn them.
* They are slightly easier to carry and shove than Humans.
* They are unable to swallow any pills due to their diet, requiring them to be dissolved in other mediums instead.

== Vox ==
[[File:Fullvox.png|64px]]

Vox are a strange lot, they're raptor-like creatures that can only breathe nitrogen, as oxygen is '''very hazardous''' to their health to the point where they take ticking poison damage as long as they're exposed to the air, provided said air has even a trace of oxygen within it. To counter-act this, a Vox must either be in a pure nitrogen-based environment or, more commonly, breathing from a nitrogen tank, one of which is provided to them at the start of each round. Much like Reptilians, their unarmed attacks deal slashing damage instread of blunt.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, Mono-name with Repetitive Random Syllables (ex. Hirixashahre, Xapikrikrik)

'''Diet'''
* Nothing special, similar to Humans.

'''Special''' None

'''Benefits'''
* Claws: Do Slash damage instead of Blunt on unarmed attacks.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Breathing: Oxygen is toxic to them, they require to have internals on at all times and sometimes require to put the mask off when need to eat/swallow anything. There are other alternatives way to get reagents in such as a syringe without need to turn off the internals.

== Oni ==
[[File:Oni.png|64px]]

Large, horned people that come in a variety of colors. Their accuracy with [[Weapons|guns]] is terrible, but their physical strength brings them a lot of boons both in and out of combat.

'''Diet'''
* Nothing special, similar to Humans.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 15% less Blunt damage.
* Take 15% less Slash damage.
* Take 15% less Piercing damage.
* Do more damage in melee:

* Due to their big size, they can easily carry, shove and pull any other morphotypes.
* They are harder to shove.
* Slightly more stamina than Humans.
* They have an easier time prying open doors, taking around 50% less time than other species.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Their accuracy with guns is terrible.
* They are harder to carry and pull.
* They are bigger than Humans, making them easier to hit.

== Harpy ==
[[File:Harpy.png|64px]]

An avian humanoid species that features colorful feathered wings and tails that can mimic almost any sound.

They are quite sensitive to the air quality, and when exposed to low quality air, they will begin to visibly gasp, and eventually start choking. When this happens, a Harpy should either move away from sources of bad air, stand on top of a scrubber for a few seconds, or take a few breaths from a pure oxygen tank in order to restore their blood-oxygen levels. Only three seconds of being on pure oxygen is enough to completely restore a Harpy's blood oxygen saturation.

** Air tanks last half as long and Harpies are more susceptible than usual to low air quality.
** If a Harpy is exposed to at least 0.2 moles of combined CO2 and/or Miasma, they start struggling to take in oxygen.

== Arachnid ==
[[File:Arachnid.png|64px]]

Not to be confused with insectoids, Arachnids cut a striking figure with their pressure-resistant exoskeletons and extra arms. Possibly related to the space spiders and giant tarantulas found in outer space. Thanks to their similarly robust digestive systems, they are able to consume raw food without the risk of disease. note: Disease is still under development and not implemented in game yet.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Latin (ex. Pluribus Unum)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Slow metabolism.
* (BUG?: At the moment Arachnid do NOT get poisoned.) Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

'''Special ability'''
* They have two extra pocket slots formed by webs.
* Silk: Can weive silk at the expense of hunger and craft various things.
Silk can be used to create furniture , clothes , walls and even shields. this will help handle more critical situations (ex: craft a winter coat when temperature drops , seal a spaced area using a wall). only Arachids are able to utilize the silk for crafting.
* Slow metabolism: they have 50% slower reagant metabolism than other species which takes extra time for medicines to work and to satiate thirst and hunger on the other it takes more time to get poisoned by any poisons/toxins. This has no effect on externally applied reagents, so spilling a acid on an Arachnid will kill them just the same as anyone else.

'''Benefits'''

== Diona ==
[[File:Diona.png|64px]]

Tree-like plant people whose bodies react with fertilizer and weed-killing chemicals similar to regular plants.
Upon death, and gibbing, they split into 3 nymphs that represent an organ each: Brain, Stomach and Lungs. The player will become the Brain Nymph and can reform into a fully fledged Diona after 10 minutes.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Qualia[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia] (ex. A Peaceful Sunrise)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat everything a Human can.
* They get hungry slower, and thirsty faster.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants: Weed Killer poisons them and Robust Harvest heals them.

'''Special ability'''
* Plant Chemicals: They are affected by chemicals that affect plantsexcluding mutegants, this means that they can heal and benefit from fertilizers (ex: robust harvest can heal most of the brute damage), but plant toxins and pesticides will damage them too.
* Death: Can gib themselves into Nymphs after death, then reform after 10 minutes.
** This will heal them from all injuries and even manage to revive themselve from unrevivable situations (ex: radiation damage).
** Reform: It takes 10 minutes to be reformed back to Diona state from the Nymphs state. This leaves the Nymphs valnurable to other dangers (including spacing).
** Body: Reformed nymphs will have different body from the old Diona which will have different name and traits (such as gender).
** Memory: Reformed nymphs will keep their's character basic knowledge (only if it is an antagonist and the job), and looses any previous character's memories from it's death (other perhaps than the need to run away and find safety).
** Nymphs: There are normally 3 pet-like Nymphs. The original player take control of the "Brain" nymph. The only one able to talk. The other two can be taken over by ghosts if given cognizine.
** A zombified Diona is able to split once dead (or after giving up and returning to body) and the resulting nymphs will be zombified, though unable to reform.
* Tree form. Being exposed too much Rodust Harvest will cause a Diona to grow out of control, turning into an immobile tree (dropping all their equipment). Cutting down the tree will "restone" the Diona to their mobile state.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 20% less Slash damage.
* Take 30% less Blunt damage.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* While suffocating, takes half the Asphyxiation damage and recovers at the normal rate.

* Roots: Cannot wear shoes. They are unable to wear any shoes and protect their feet from debris and shards (wearing a hardsuit can minigate this issue and protect their feet) and are unable to gain any benefit from them (ex: magboots, speedboots).
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* Ignite: If they take big enough Heat damage from any source, they get ignited and catch on fire (the fire damage/size depends on the amount of heat damage being dealt: a laser rifle will not burn as much compared to a vintage laser pistol / X-ray rifle)

To counter-act this, a Vox must either be in a pure nitrogen-based environment or, more commonly, breathing from a nitrogen tank, one of which is provided to them at the start of each round. Much like Reptilians, their unarmed attacks deal slashing damage instread of blunt.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, Mono-name with Repetitive Random Syllables (ex. Hirixashahre, Xapikrikrik)

'''Diet'''

{{Stub}}

During your time on station you may find yourself face to face (or face to mirror) with the not quite human. Be they aliens, mutated humans, or self aware constructs you're expected to try and coexist on this deathtrap.
Learning their quirks can be key to knowing how to keep them amicable in times of peace, and easy to put down in times of strife.

Delta-V features a diverse array of playable species, including Slime People, Rodentia, Reptilians, Felinids, Harpies, Humans, Arachnids, Diona, Vulpkanin, Moth People, Vox, and Oni. There is also a number of uncommon humanoids. Each species possesses its own unique set of statistics, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as, in some cases, distinct anatomical traits. However, despite these differences, all species share several commonalities:

* All species are able to equip the same tools and items.
* All species can metabolize reagents and experience their effects.
* All species are subject to the fundamental laws of physics, including temperature, pressure, atmospheric composition, gravity, radiation, electric current, and inertia.
* All species benefit from limited passive regeneration, allowing them to heal BRUTE and HEAT damage over time, provided their total damage remains below 20.
* All species are capable of utilizing psionic powers.
* All species communicate using a common language.
* All species are to be treated equally by both the crew and the AI onboard.

= Roundstart Humanoids =
The following species can currently be selected in the character creation menu, meaning you can expect to see most of them during any given round.

Humans are considered the baseline for drawbacks and benefits.

* Slow metabolism: they have 50% slower reagant metabolism than other species which takes extra time for medicines to work and to satiate thirst and hunger on the other it takes more time to get poisoned by any poisons/toxins. This has no effect on externally applied reagents, so spilling a acid on an Arachnid will kill them just the same as anyone else.

'''Benefits'''
* Melee: Do Slashing damage instead of Blunt.
* Take significantly less barotrauma(spacing) damage.
* Metabolizes stuff in their stomach 50% faster.
* Two extra pocket slots.

'''Drawbacks'''

* They uses 50% more oxygen to breath.
* They have blue blood, requiring Copper instead of Iron to regenerate. Iron will poison them instead.

== Diona ==
[[File:Diona.png|64px]]

Tree-like plant people whose bodies react with fertilizer and weed-killing chemicals similar to regular plants.
Upon death, and gibbing, they split into 3 nymphs that represent an organ each: Brain, Stomach and Lungs. The player will become the Brain Nymph and can reform into a fully fledged Diona after 10 minutes.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Qualia[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia] (ex. A Peaceful Sunrise)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat everything a Human can.
* They get hungry slower, and thirsty faster.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants: Weed Killer poisons them and Robust Harvest heals them.

'''Special ability'''
* Plant Chemicals: They are affected by chemicals that affect plantsexcluding mutegants, this means that they can heal and benefit from fertilizers (ex: robust harvest can heal most of the brute damage), but plant toxins and pesticides will damage them too.
* Death: Can gib themselves into Nymphs after death, then reform after 10 minutes.
** This will heal them from all injuries and even manage to revive themselve from unrevivable situations (ex: radiation damage).
** Reform: It takes 10 minutes to be reformed back to Diona state from the Nymphs state. This leaves the Nymphs valnurable to other dangers (including spacing).
** Body: Reformed nymphs will have different body from the old Diona which will have different name and traits (such as gender).
** Memory: Reformed nymphs will keep their's character basic knowledge (only if it is an antagonist and the job), and looses any previous character's memories from it's death (other perhaps than the need to run away and find safety).
** Nymphs: There are normally 3 pet-like Nymphs. The original player take control of the "Brain" nymph. The only one able to talk. The other two can be taken over by ghosts if given cognizine.
** A zombified Diona is able to split once dead (or after giving up and returning to body) and the resulting nymphs will be zombified, though unable to reform.
* Tree form. Being exposed too much Rodust Harvest will cause a Diona to grow out of control, turning into an immobile tree (dropping all their equipment). Cutting down the tree will "restone" the Diona to their mobile state.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 20% less Slash damage.
* Take 30% less Blunt damage.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* While suffocating, takes half the Asphyxiation damage and recovers at the normal rate.

* Take 20% more Shock damage.
* Roots: Cannot wear shoes. They are unable to wear any shoes and protect their feet from debris and shards (wearing a hardsuit can minigate this issue and protect their feet) and are unable to gain any benefit from them (ex: magboots, speedboots).
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* Ignite: If they take big enough Heat damage from any source, they get ignited and catch on fire (the fire damage/size depends on the amount of heat damage being dealt: a laser rifle will not burn as much compared to a vintage laser pistol / X-ray rifle)

[[File:Moth.png|64px]]

Moth People, meanwhile, actually ''are'' an insectoid species. This insect people with wings and antennae, come in a variety of colors and patterns. Their wings allow them greater control in zero gravity than other species, and their natural resistance to cold helps greatly in a space environment. The tradeoff, naturally, is that heat is more dangerous.

[[File:Fullvox.png|64px]]

Vox are a strange lot, they're raptor-like creatures that can only breathe nitrogen, as oxygen is '''very hazardous''' to their health to the point where they take ticking poison damage as long as they're exposed to the air, provided said air has even a trace of oxygen within it. To counter-act this, a Vox must either be in a pure nitrogen-based environment or, more commonly, breathing from a nitrogen tank, one of which is provided to them at the start of each round. Much like Reptilians, their unarmed attacks deal slashing damage instread of blunt.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, Mono-name with Repetitive Random Syllables (ex. Hirixashahre, Xapikrikrik)

'''Diet'''
* Nothing special, similar to Humans.

'''Special''' None

'''Benefits'''

* They have an easier time prying open doors, taking around 50% less time than other species.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Their accuracy with guns is terrible.
* They are harder to carry and pull.

{{Stub}}

During your time on station you may find yourself face to face (or face to mirror) with the not quite human. Be they aliens, mutated humans, or self aware constructs you're expected to try and coexist on this deathtrap.
Learning their quirks can be key to knowing how to keep them amicable in times of peace, and easy to put down in times of strife.

Delta-V features a diverse array of playable species, including Slime People, Rodentia, Reptilians, Felinids, Harpies, Humans, Arachnids, Diona, Vulpkanin, Moth People, Vox, and Oni. There is also a number of uncommon humanoids. Each species possesses its own unique set of statistics, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as, in some cases, distinct anatomical traits. However, despite these differences, all species share several commonalities:

* All species are able to equip the same tools and items.
* All species can metabolize reagents and experience their effects.
* All species are subject to the fundamental laws of physics, including temperature, pressure, atmospheric composition, gravity, radiation, electric current, and inertia.
* All species benefit from limited passive regeneration, allowing them to heal BRUTE and HEAT damage over time, provided their total damage remains below 20.
* All species are capable of utilizing psionic powers.
* All species communicate using a common language.
* All species are to be treated equally by both the crew and the AI onboard.

= Roundstart Humanoids =
The following species can currently be selected in the character creation menu, meaning you can expect to see most of them during any given round.

Humans are considered the baseline for drawbacks and benefits.

An avian humanoid species that features colorful feathered wings and tails that can mimic almost any sound.

They are quite sensitive to the air quality, and when exposed to low quality air, they will begin to visibly gasp, and eventually start choking. When this happens, a Harpy should either move away from sources of bad air, stand on top of a scrubber for a few seconds, or take a few breaths from a pure oxygen tank in order to restore their blood-oxygen levels. Only three seconds of being on pure oxygen is enough to completely restore a Harpy's blood oxygen saturation.

== Arachnid ==
[[File:Arachnid.png|64px]]

Not to be confused with insectoids, Arachnids cut a striking figure with their pressure-resistant exoskeletons and extra arms.

* They are unable to swallow any pills due to their diet, requiring them to be dissolved in other mediums instead.

== Vox ==
[[File:Fullvox.png|64px]]

Vox are a strange lot, they're raptor-like creatures that can only breathe nitrogen, as oxygen is '''very hazardous''' to their health to the point where they take ticking poison damage as long as they're exposed to the air, provided said air has even a trace of oxygen within it. To counter-act this, a Vox must either be in a pure nitrogen-based environment or, more commonly, breathing from a nitrogen tank, one of which is provided to them at the start of each round. Much like Reptilians, their unarmed attacks deal slashing damage instread of blunt.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, Mono-name with Repetitive Random Syllables (ex. Hirixashahre, Xapikrikrik)

'''Diet'''
* Nothing special, similar to Humans.

'''Special''' None

'''Benefits'''
* Claws: Do Slash damage instead of Blunt on unarmed attacks.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Breathing: Oxygen is toxic to them, they require to have internals on at all times and sometimes require to put the mask off when need to eat/swallow anything. There are other alternatives way to get reagents in such as a syringe without need to turn off the internals.

== Oni ==
[[File:Oni.png|64px]]

Large, horned people that come in a variety of colors. Their accuracy with [[Weapons|guns]] is terrible, but their physical strength brings them a lot of boons both in and out of combat.

'''Diet'''
* Nothing special, similar to Humans.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 15% less Blunt damage.
* Take 15% less Slash damage.
* Take 15% less Piercing damage.
* Do more damage in melee:
** 35% more Blunt and Asphyxiation.
** 20% more Slash and Piercing.
* Due to their big size, they can easily carry, shove and pull any other morphotypes.
* They are harder to shove.
* Slightly more stamina than Humans.
* They have an easier time prying open doors, taking around 50% less time than other species.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Their accuracy with guns is terrible.
* They are harder to carry and pull.
* They are bigger than Humans, making them easier to hit.

Mdempg: Blood part in table

{{Stub}}

During your time on station you may find yourself face to face (or face to mirror) with the not quite human. Be they aliens, mutated humans, or self aware constructs you're expected to try and coexist on this deathtrap.
Learning their quirks can be key to knowing how to keep them amicable in times of peace, and easy to put down in times of strife.

Delta-V features a diverse array of playable species, including Slime People, Rodentia, Reptilians, Felinids, Harpies, Humans, Arachnids, Diona, Vulpkanin, Moth People, Vox, and Oni. There is also a number of uncommon humanoids. Each species possesses its own unique set of statistics, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as, in some cases, distinct anatomical traits. However, despite these differences, all species share several commonalities:

* All species are able to equip the same tools and items.
* All species can metabolize reagents and experience their effects.
* All species are subject to the fundamental laws of physics, including temperature, pressure, atmospheric composition, gravity, radiation, electric current, and inertia.
* All species benefit from limited passive regeneration, allowing them to heal BRUTE and HEAT damage over time, provided their total damage remains below 20.
* All species are capable of utilizing psionic powers.
* All species communicate using a common language.
* All species are to be treated equally by both the crew and the AI onboard.

= Roundstart Humanoids =
The following species can currently be selected in the character creation menu, meaning you can expect to see most of them during any given round.

Humans are considered the baseline for drawbacks and benefits.

== Harpy ==
[[File:Harpy.png|64px]]

An avian humanoid species that features colorful feathered wings and tails that can mimic almost any sound.

They are quite sensitive to the air quality, and when exposed to low quality air, they will begin to visibly gasp, and eventually start choking. When this happens, a Harpy should either move away from sources of bad air, stand on top of a scrubber for a few seconds, or take a few breaths from a pure oxygen tank in order to restore their blood-oxygen levels. Only three seconds of being on pure oxygen is enough to completely restore a Harpy's blood oxygen saturation.

'''Naming Conventions:''' ???

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

* Extreme low density, HarpDionaies are lighter than even Felinids, and weigh half as much as a Human.
* A Harpy breathes in air twice as often as Humans, inhaling and exhaling every 3 seconds.
** Air tanks last half as long and Harpies are more susceptible than usual to low air quality.
** If a Harpy is exposed to at least 0.2 moles of combined CO2 and/or Miasma, they start struggling to take in oxygen.

== Arachnid ==
[[File:Arachnid.png|64px]]

Not to be confused with insectoids, Arachnids cut a striking figure with their pressure-resistant exoskeletons and extra arms. Possibly related to the space spiders and giant tarantulas found in outer space. Thanks to their similarly robust digestive systems, they are able to consume raw food without the risk of disease. note: Disease is still under development and not implemented in game yet.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Latin (ex. Pluribus Unum)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Slow metabolism.
* (BUG?: At the moment Arachnid do NOT get poisoned.) Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

'''Special ability'''
* They have two extra pocket slots formed by webs.
* Silk: Can weive silk at the expense of hunger and craft various things.
Silk can be used to create furniture , clothes , walls and even shields. this will help handle more critical situations (ex: craft a winter coat when temperature drops , seal a spaced area using a wall). only Arachids are able to utilize the silk for crafting.
* Slow metabolism: they have 50% slower reagant metabolism than other species which takes extra time for medicines to work and to satiate thirst and hunger on the other it takes more time to get poisoned by any poisons/toxins. This has no effect on externally applied reagents, so spilling a acid on an Arachnid will kill them just the same as anyone else.

'''Benefits'''
* Melee: Do Slashing damage instead of Blunt.
* Take significantly less barotrauma(spacing) damage.
* Metabolizes stuff in their stomach 50% faster.
* Two extra pocket slots.

'''Drawbacks'''
* While suffocating, takes 50% more Asphyxiation damage and recovers it only at half speed.
* Cannot use the outerwear storage slot.
* They uses 50% more oxygen to breath.
* They have blue blood, requiring Copper instead of Iron to regenerate. Iron will poison them instead.

== Diona ==
[[File:Diona.png|64px]]

Tree-like plant people whose bodies react with fertilizer and weed-killing chemicals similar to regular plants.
Upon death, and gibbing, they split into 3 nymphs that represent an organ each: Brain, Stomach and Lungs. The player will become the Brain Nymph and can reform into a fully fledged Diona after 10 minutes.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Qualia[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia] (ex. A Peaceful Sunrise)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat everything a Human can.
* They get hungry slower, and thirsty faster.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants: Weed Killer poisons them and Robust Harvest heals them.

'''Special ability'''
* Plant Chemicals: They are affected by chemicals that affect plantsexcluding mutegants, this means that they can heal and benefit from fertilizers (ex: robust harvest can heal most of the brute damage), but plant toxins and pesticides will damage them too.
* Death: Can gib themselves into Nymphs after death, then reform after 10 minutes.
** This will heal them from all injuries and even manage to revive themselve from unrevivable situations (ex: radiation damage).
** Reform: It takes 10 minutes to be reformed back to Diona state from the Nymphs state. This leaves the Nymphs valnurable to other dangers (including spacing).
** Body: Reformed nymphs will have different body from the old Diona which will have different name and traits (such as gender).
** Memory: Reformed nymphs will keep their's character basic knowledge (only if it is an antagonist and the job), and looses any previous character's memories from it's death (other perhaps than the need to run away and find safety).
** Nymphs: There are normally 3 pet-like Nymphs. The original player take control of the "Brain" nymph. The only one able to talk. The other two can be taken over by ghosts if given cognizine.
** A zombified Diona is able to split once dead (or after giving up and returning to body) and the resulting nymphs will be zombified, though unable to reform.
* Tree form. Being exposed too much Rodust Harvest will cause a Diona to grow out of control, turning into an immobile tree (dropping all their equipment). Cutting down the tree will "restone" the Diona to their mobile state.

'''Benefits'''

* Take 30% less Blunt damage.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* While suffocating, takes half the Asphyxiation damage and recovers at the normal rate.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 50% more Heat damage.
* Take 20% more Shock damage.
* Roots: Cannot wear shoes. They are unable to wear any shoes and protect their feet from debris and shards (wearing a hardsuit can minigate this issue and protect their feet) and are unable to gain any benefit from them (ex: magboots, speedboots).
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* Ignite: If they take big enough Heat damage from any source, they get ignited and catch on fire (the fire damage/size depends on the amount of heat damage being dealt: a laser rifle will not burn as much compared to a vintage laser pistol / X-ray rifle)

[[File:Moth.png|64px]]

Moth People, meanwhile, actually ''are'' an insectoid species. This insect people with wings and antennae, come in a variety of colors and patterns. Their wings allow them greater control in zero gravity than other species, and their natural resistance to cold helps greatly in a space environment. The tradeoff, naturally, is that heat is more dangerous.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, (ex. John Doe)

'''Diet'''
* Can only eat Cloth and Fruits related foods.
* Can eat Paper.
* Can specially eat Mothic recipes.

'''Special ability'''
* Wings: Have increased acceleration when moving in zero-g enviroments. Their ability can work when gravity generator fails and even in space/vacumm and helps them get around without a jetpack. The status is 50% higher acceleration than other species.
* Diet: Moths have an exclusive cloth diet that can also include fruits. Moths cannot eat most things from other species, however they can eat cloth, gloves and other clothing items which are exclusive to them and are in higher abudance, in addition chefs can prepare moth specific food recipes for them.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 30% less Cold damage from all sources.
* Having wings makes it easier to move in zero-gravity environments.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 30% more Heat damage from all sources.

{{Stub}}

During your time on station you may find yourself face to face (or face to mirror) with the not quite human. Be they aliens, mutated humans, or self aware constructs you're expected to try and coexist on this deathtrap.
Learning their quirks can be key to knowing how to keep them amicable in times of peace, and easy to put down in times of strife.

Delta-V features a diverse array of playable species, including Slime People, Rodentia, Reptilians, Felinids, Harpies, Humans, Arachnids, Diona, Vulpkanin, Moth People, Vox, and Oni. There is also a number of uncommon humanoids. Each species possesses its own unique set of statistics, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as, in some cases, distinct anatomical traits. However, despite these differences, all species share several commonalities:

* All species are able to equip the same tools and items.
* All species can metabolize reagents and experience their effects.
* All species are subject to the fundamental laws of physics, including temperature, pressure, atmospheric composition, gravity, radiation, electric current, and inertia.
* All species benefit from limited passive regeneration, allowing them to heal BRUTE and HEAT damage over time, provided their total damage remains below 20.
* All species are capable of utilizing psionic powers.
* All species communicate using a common language.
* All species are to be treated equally by both the crew and the AI onboard.

== Harpy ==
[[File:Harpy.png|64px]]

An avian humanoid species that features colorful feathered wings and tails that can mimic almost any sound.

They are quite sensitive to the air quality, and when exposed to low quality air, they will begin to visibly gasp, and eventually start choking. When this happens, a Harpy should either move away from sources of bad air, stand on top of a scrubber for a few seconds, or take a few breaths from a pure oxygen tank in order to restore their blood-oxygen levels. Only three seconds of being on pure oxygen is enough to completely restore a Harpy's blood oxygen saturation.

'''Naming Conventions:''' ???

* Extreme low density, HarpDionaies are lighter than even Felinids, and weigh half as much as a Human.
* A Harpy breathes in air twice as often as Humans, inhaling and exhaling every 3 seconds.
** Air tanks last half as long and Harpies are more susceptible than usual to low air quality.
** If a Harpy is exposed to at least 0.2 moles of combined CO2 and/or Miasma, they start struggling to take in oxygen.

== Arachnid ==
[[File:Arachnid.png|64px]]

Not to be confused with insectoids, Arachnids cut a striking figure with their pressure-resistant exoskeletons and extra arms. Possibly related to the space spiders and giant tarantulas found in outer space. Thanks to their similarly robust digestive systems, they are able to consume raw food without the risk of disease. note: Disease is still under development and not implemented in game yet.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Latin (ex. Pluribus Unum)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Slow metabolism.
* (BUG?: At the moment Arachnid do NOT get poisoned.) Will get poisoned by [[Chemistry#Theobromine|Theobromine]] (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee) and [[Chemistry#Allicin|Allicin]] (Onion, Garlic).

'''Special ability'''
* They have two extra pocket slots formed by webs.
* Silk: Can weive silk at the expense of hunger and craft various things.
Silk can be used to create furniture , clothes , walls and even shields. this will help handle more critical situations (ex: craft a winter coat when temperature drops , seal a spaced area using a wall). only Arachids are able to utilize the silk for crafting.
* Slow metabolism: they have 50% slower reagant metabolism than other species which takes extra time for medicines to work and to satiate thirst and hunger on the other it takes more time to get poisoned by any poisons/toxins. This has no effect on externally applied reagents, so spilling a acid on an Arachnid will kill them just the same as anyone else.

'''Benefits'''
* Melee: Do Slashing damage instead of Blunt.
* Take significantly less barotrauma(spacing) damage.
* Metabolizes stuff in their stomach 50% faster.
* Two extra pocket slots.

'''Drawbacks'''
* While suffocating, takes 50% more Asphyxiation damage and recovers it only at half speed.

* They uses 50% more oxygen to breath.
* They have blue blood, requiring Copper instead of Iron to regenerate. Iron will poison them instead.

== Diona ==
[[File:Diona.png|64px]]

Tree-like plant people whose bodies react with fertilizer and weed-killing chemicals similar to regular plants.
Upon death, and gibbing, they split into 3 nymphs that represent an organ each: Brain, Stomach and Lungs. The player will become the Brain Nymph and can reform into a fully fledged Diona after 10 minutes.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Qualia[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia] (ex. A Peaceful Sunrise)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat everything a Human can.
* They get hungry slower, and thirsty faster.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants: Weed Killer poisons them and Robust Harvest heals them.

'''Special ability'''
* Plant Chemicals: They are affected by chemicals that affect plantsexcluding mutegants, this means that they can heal and benefit from fertilizers (ex: robust harvest can heal most of the brute damage), but plant toxins and pesticides will damage them too.
* Death: Can gib themselves into Nymphs after death, then reform after 10 minutes.
** This will heal them from all injuries and even manage to revive themselve from unrevivable situations (ex: radiation damage).
** Reform: It takes 10 minutes to be reformed back to Diona state from the Nymphs state. This leaves the Nymphs valnurable to other dangers (including spacing).
** Body: Reformed nymphs will have different body from the old Diona which will have different name and traits (such as gender).
** Memory: Reformed nymphs will keep their's character basic knowledge (only if it is an antagonist and the job), and looses any previous character's memories from it's death (other perhaps than the need to run away and find safety).
** Nymphs: There are normally 3 pet-like Nymphs. The original player take control of the "Brain" nymph. The only one able to talk. The other two can be taken over by ghosts if given cognizine.
** A zombified Diona is able to split once dead (or after giving up and returning to body) and the resulting nymphs will be zombified, though unable to reform.
* Tree form. Being exposed too much Rodust Harvest will cause a Diona to grow out of control, turning into an immobile tree (dropping all their equipment). Cutting down the tree will "restone" the Diona to their mobile state.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 20% less Slash damage.
* Take 30% less Blunt damage.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* While suffocating, takes half the Asphyxiation damage and recovers at the normal rate.
* They are heavier than other races and can shove/disarm other races easier.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 50% more Heat damage.
* Take 20% more Shock damage.
* Roots: Cannot wear shoes. They are unable to wear any shoes and protect their feet from debris and shards (wearing a hardsuit can minigate this issue and protect their feet) and are unable to gain any benefit from them (ex: magboots, speedboots).
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* Ignite: If they take big enough Heat damage from any source, they get ignited and catch on fire (the fire damage/size depends on the amount of heat damage being dealt: a laser rifle will not burn as much compared to a vintage laser pistol / X-ray rifle)

== Vulpkanin ==
[[File:Vulpkanin.png|64px]]

The Vulpkanin (vulp-ka-nin) are a race of humanoid canine-like beings.

'''Naming Conventions:''' ???

[[File:Moth.png|64px]]

Moth People, meanwhile, actually ''are'' an insectoid species. This insect people with wings and antennae, come in a variety of colors and patterns. Their wings allow them greater control in zero gravity than other species, and their natural resistance to cold helps greatly in a space environment. The tradeoff, naturally, is that heat is more dangerous.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, (ex. John Doe)

'''Diet'''
* Can only eat Cloth and Fruits related foods.
* Can eat Paper.
* Can specially eat Mothic recipes.

'''Special ability'''
* Wings: Have increased acceleration when moving in zero-g enviroments. Their ability can work when gravity generator fails and even in space/vacumm and helps them get around without a jetpack. The status is 50% higher acceleration than other species.
* Diet: Moths have an exclusive cloth diet that can also include fruits. Moths cannot eat most things from other species, however they can eat cloth, gloves and other clothing items which are exclusive to them and are in higher abudance, in addition chefs can prepare moth specific food recipes for them.

'''Benefits'''
* Take 30% less Cold damage from all sources.
* Having wings makes it easier to move in zero-gravity environments.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Take 30% more Heat damage from all sources.
* Take 33% more (or 3 times more?) Heat/Burn damage when on fire compared to other species.
* They start taking Heat damage much earlier at 5co lower than other races. Intense heat will quickly burn them.
* They are slightly easier to carry and shove than Humans.
* They are unable to swallow any pills due to their diet, requiring them to be dissolved in other mediums instead.

== Vox ==
[[File:Fullvox.png|64px]]

Vox are a strange lot, they're raptor-like creatures that can only breathe nitrogen, as oxygen is '''very hazardous''' to their health to the point where they take ticking poison damage as long as they're exposed to the air, provided said air has even a trace of oxygen within it. To counter-act this, a Vox must either be in a pure nitrogen-based environment or, more commonly, breathing from a nitrogen tank, one of which is provided to them at the start of each round. Much like Reptilians, their unarmed attacks deal slashing damage instread of blunt.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, Mono-name with Repetitive Random Syllables (ex. Hirixashahre, Xapikrikrik)

'''Diet'''
* Nothing special, similar to Humans.

'''Special''' None

'''Benefits'''
* Claws: Do Slash damage instead of Blunt on unarmed attacks.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Breathing: Oxygen is toxic to them, they require to have internals on at all times and sometimes require to put the mask off when need to eat/swallow anything. There are other alternatives way to get reagents in such as a syringe without need to turn off the internals.

== Oni ==
[[File:Oni.png|64px]]

Large, horned people that come in a variety of colors. Their accuracy with [[Weapons|guns]] is terrible, but their physical strength brings them a lot of boons both in and out of combat.

'''Diet'''
* Nothing special, similar to Humans.

* Take 15% less Blunt damage.
* Take 15% less Slash damage.
* Take 15% less Piercing damage.
* Do more damage in melee:

* They are harder to shove.
* Slightly more stamina than Humans.
* They have an easier time prying open doors, taking around 50% less time than other species.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Their accuracy with guns is terrible.
* They are harder to carry and pull.
* They are bigger than Humans, making them easier to hit.

[[File:Harpy.png|64px]]

An avian humanoid species that features colorful feathered wings and tails that can mimic almost any sound.

They are quite sensitive to the air quality, and when exposed to low quality air, they will begin to visibly gasp, and eventually start choking. When this happens, a Harpy should either move away from sources of bad air, stand on top of a scrubber for a few seconds, or take a few breaths from a pure oxygen tank in order to restore their blood-oxygen levels.

== Arachnid ==
[[File:Arachnid.png|64px]]

Not to be confused with insectoids, Arachnids cut a striking figure with their pressure-resistant exoskeletons and extra arms. Possibly related to the space spiders and giant tarantulas found in outer space. Thanks to their similarly robust digestive systems, they are able to consume raw food without the risk of disease. note: Disease is still under development and not implemented in game yet.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Latin (ex. Pluribus Unum)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat raw meat.
* Slow metabolism.

Upon death, and gibbing, they split into 3 nymphs that represent an organ each: Brain, Stomach and Lungs. The player will become the Brain Nymph and can reform into a fully fledged Diona after 10 minutes.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Qualia[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia] (ex. A Peaceful Sunrise)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat everything a Human can.
* They get hungry slower, and thirsty faster.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants: Weed Killer poisons them and Robust Harvest heals them.

'''Special ability'''
* Plant Chemicals: They are affected by chemicals that affect plantsexcluding mutegants, this means that they can heal and benefit from fertilizers (ex: robust harvest can heal most of the brute damage), but plant toxins and pesticides will damage them too.
* Death: Can gib themselves into Nymphs after death, then reform after 10 minutes.
** This will heal them from all injuries and even manage to revive themselve from unrevivable situations (ex: radiation damage).
** Reform: It takes 10 minutes to be reformed back to Diona state from the Nymphs state. This leaves the Nymphs valnurable to other dangers (including spacing).
** Body: Reformed nymphs will have different body from the old Diona which will have different name and traits (such as gender).
** Memory: Reformed nymphs will keep their's character basic knowledge (only if it is an antagonist and the job), and looses any previous character's memories from it's death (other perhaps than the need to run away and find safety).
** Nymphs: There are normally 3 pet-like Nymphs. The original player take control of the "Brain" nymph. The only one able to talk. The other two can be taken over by ghosts if given cognizine.
** A zombified Diona is able to split once dead (or after giving up and returning to body) and the resulting nymphs will be zombified, though unable to reform.
* Tree form. Being exposed too much Rodust Harvest will cause a Diona to grow out of control, turning into an immobile tree (dropping all their equipment). Cutting down the tree will "restone" the Diona to their mobile state.

Vox are a strange lot, they're raptor-like creatures that can only breathe nitrogen, as oxygen is '''very hazardous''' to their health to the point where they take ticking poison damage as long as they're exposed to the air, provided said air has even a trace of oxygen within it. To counter-act this, a Vox must either be in a pure nitrogen-based environment or, more commonly, breathing from a nitrogen tank, one of which is provided to them at the start of each round. Much like Reptilians, their unarmed attacks deal slashing damage instread of blunt.

'''Naming Convention:''' Common, Mono-name with Repetitive Random Syllables (ex. Hirixashahre, Xapikrikrik)

'''Diet'''

Playable Species

2024-12-13T08:57:20Z

Mdempg: Major Rework

{{Stub}}

During your time on station you may find yourself face to face (or face to mirror) with the not quite human. Be they aliens, mutated humans, or self aware constructs you're expected to try and coexist on this deathtrap.
Learning their quirks can be key to knowing how to keep them amicable in times of peace, and easy to put down in times of strife.

Delta-V features a diverse array of playable species, including Slime People, Rodentia, Reptilians, Felinids, Harpies, Humans, Arachnids, Diona, Vulpkanin, Moth People, Vox, and Oni. There is also a number of uncommon humanoids. Each species possesses its own unique set of statistics, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as, in some cases, distinct anatomical traits. However, despite these differences, all species share several commonalities:

* All species are able to equip the same tools and items.
* All species can metabolize reagents and experience their effects.
* All species are subject to the fundamental laws of physics, including temperature, pressure, atmospheric composition, gravity, radiation, electric current, and inertia.
* All species benefit from limited passive regeneration, allowing them to heal BRUTE and HEAT damage over time, provided their total damage remains below 20.
* All species are capable of utilizing psionic powers.
* All species communicate using a common language.
* All species are to be treated equally by both the crew and the AI onboard.

= Roundstart Humanoids =
The following species can currently be selected in the character creation menu, meaning you can expect to see most of them during any given round.

[[File:Diona.png|64px]]

Tree-like plant people whose bodies react with fertilizer and weed-killing chemicals similar to regular plants.
Upon death, and gibbing, they split into 3 nymphs that represent an organ each: Brain, Stomach and Lungs. The player will become the Brain Nymph and can reform into a fully fledged Diona after 10 minutes.

'''Naming Conventions:''' Common, Qualia[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia] (ex. A Peaceful Sunrise)

'''Diet'''
* Can eat everything a Human can.
* They get hungry slower, and thirsty faster.
* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants: Weed Killer poisons them and Robust Harvest heals them.

'''Special ability'''
* Plant Chemicals: They are affected by chemicals that affect plantsexcluding mutegants, this means that they can heal and benefit from fertilizers (ex: robust harvest can heal most of the brute damage), but plant toxins and pesticides will damage them too.
* Death: Can gib themselves into Nymphs after death, then reform after 10 minutes.
** This will heal them from all injuries and even manage to revive themselve from unrevivable situations (ex: radiation damage).
** Reform: It takes 10 minutes to be reformed back to Diona state from the Nymphs state. This leaves the Nymphs valnurable to other dangers (including spacing).
** Body: Reformed nymphs will have different body from the old Diona which will have different name and traits (such as gender).
** Memory: Reformed nymphs will keep their's character basic knowledge (only if it is an antagonist and the job), and looses any previous character's memories from it's death (other perhaps than the need to run away and find safety).
** Nymphs: There are normally 3 pet-like Nymphs. The original player take control of the "Brain" nymph. The only one able to talk. The other two can be taken over by ghosts if given cognizine.
** A zombified Diona is able to split once dead (or after giving up and returning to body) and the resulting nymphs will be zombified, though unable to reform.
* Tree form. Being exposed too much Rodust Harvest will cause a Diona to grow out of control, turning into an immobile tree (dropping all their equipment). Cutting down the tree will "restone" the Diona to their mobile state.

* Gets affected by chemicals that affects plants.
* Ignite: If they take big enough Heat damage from any source, they get ignited and catch on fire (the fire damage/size depends on the amount of heat damage being dealt: a laser rifle will not burn as much compared to a vintage laser pistol / X-ray rifle)

[[File:Fullvox.png|64px]]

Vox are a strange lot, they're raptor-like creatures that can only breathe nitrogen, as oxygen is '''very hazardous''' to their health to the point where they take ticking poison damage as long as they're exposed to the air, provided said air has even a trace of oxygen within it. To counter-act this, a Vox must either be in a pure nitrogen-based environment or, more commonly, breathing from a nitrogen tank, one of which is provided to them at the start of each round. Much like Reptilians, their unarmed attacks deal slashing damage instread of blunt.
