X'i
A unisex race of mysterious radioactive beings. Their legs are long and pointed, helping to provide them speed and a natural attack in melee. They are very hardy in irradiated environments, benefiting from radiation instead of being injured by it. Their chitin-like outer carbonized flesh is softened by a layer of feather-like hairs that absorb nascent radiation emitted from their cores.
Their lack of traditional feet makes them poor swimmers, and they can experience meltdowns from staying in hot environments for too long. They are voracious, requiring a nearly constant feeding cycle.
They are able to generate seeds and genes from their own body, which they can then use to create gear or heal and feed their damaged bodies.
Note: This race is intended for Survival or Hardcore mode. They will have reduced access to their racial crafting if playing without hunger.
