Oni of the Rim - Race mod

The mysterious horned and feathered humanoid found on some rim worlds, Oni are often sought out by Glitterworlds for their beauty as a sort of exotic pet. Worse still some are kept as livestock for their feathers, pelts and horns, all having practical and decorative uses. Oni do not have a high opinion about clothing due to the uncomfortable sensation on their feathered bodies. However, due to their feathers, they are highly vulnerable to being set on fire.



Alongside the differences of base human stats, Oni are more attuned with nature and more physically suited to a wider set of environments. They do not care about being nude or sleeping on the floor.

With them being more focused on the physical and nature side, they have little trouble with grasping the scientific concepts and and precision of construction and crafting. When building or fixing machinery, they can seemingly be a little bit clumsy, more likely to make small critical mistakes leading to failure.
At least with crafting, they simply take little bit longer to avoid or cover mistakes, although they have no issues with artistic work.

They have slightly more difficulties preparing safe meals, due to them perceiving food and ingredients differently to humans. They are more than happy to casually eat things raw, including insect meat.

Oni randomly shed feathers and horn fragments. Only player and prisoner Oni's will spawn the items, and only if they're not downed. Feathers won't spawn when they have cool down of being force sheared.





New plants, each involved with the Oni culture. They are locked behind a fairly quick research, and is known in Oni starts.
-Featherleaf - A cousin variant of the smokeleaf. Oni's smoking the joint will periodically shed a few extra feathers whilst high on it.
-Demon Breath - A plant with healing properties and also a spice of sorts only appealing to the Oni. Other races will not enjoy the Oni-styled recipes that uses this.
-Yokai Pepper - Functions as a raw vegetable, but also used in a few drug recipes and in their delicacy meal.
-Wisplight Bush - These are an bewildering group of barely bioluminescent species that have a strong tie and reliance with the feathered Oni that cultivates them. Their life cycle starts as a plant, then into a variable choice of insectoid, and leaves behind seeds upon their deaths, to restart the cycle anew.

A drug line based off Oniamine, a precursor chemical that can be extracted from Oni feathers, horn fragments, pelts and... Their meat. The drugs currently are mainly short term combat boosts, that will make the user a bit more easily tired and hungry once the effects wear off.

Mega Owls - The scientific name of this great owl is Ornimegalonyx. It is a flightless owl with immensely powerful legs and talons. Standing over a meter tall and having solid bones, they are terrifying hunters. Males are easy to identify by large head plumage. Very intelligent and can be trained, however they can be as vicious as a Warg when angry.
-Unique "Wise mega owl" health status, chances to gain it increases as it gets older. Buff gets stronger over time.
-An Oni can force give "Wise mega owl" buff with a medical bill.
Predatory - Can and will eat you, good news is they are fairly easy to take down from range

Wisplight Insects - Oni can create eggs out of wisplight pods that can hatch into various Wisplight insects to farm them, as fighters or hauling. They all can inflict a nasty wisplight burn with their bites or claws, that reduces body part efficiency with residual psionic interference taking a physical manifestation on those burns.

Q: Combat Extended?
A: Yes.

Q: How exactly bad is fire to the Oni?
A: They may struggle to put themselves out, and get a debuff that increases in severity for each time they get hit by fire type damage, regardless if it did damage or not.

Q: Is there a way to avoid the Oni getting debuffed when hit by fire?
A: Reduce their flammability to be at or below 100% with whatever method, and they will no longer get the specific anxiety about getting burned by fire.

Q: Is there a biotech version of this race?
A: No, there is not, and there won't be. They aren't genetically modified humans and are a separate race altogether.


Oni of the Rim: Lite is a stripped down version with only the Oni race and faction if you do not want any of the tech, items and creatures.
