Homebrew Foreclaimer Species Details

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
They are on average 6'8" tall with a quite slim body. When Powered. Their skin is mostly Grey, with glowing lines across their skin reminiscent of circuitry. A 3" long power crystal of various colors sits above where their navel would be. These crystals are the source of their enhanced power and glowing lines. It can be freely removed from its socket.
Unpowered. When a Foreclaimer's power crystal is removed from its socket, they begin to grow weak and the purple lines disappear. If left unpowered for more than a year, they will slowly begin to degrade over the course of 100 years, eventually reducing their lifespan by half. A Foreclaimer who has been unpowered for more than a year can also begin to gain negative effects such as memory loss, developing strange obsessions or habits, and at worst growing feeble.
OTHER BASIC INFO
Foreclaimers can live up to 900 years, giving them a broad perspective on events that might trouble the shorter-lived races more deeply. They are very scientific minded, and wont hesitate to experiment on living things in unethical ways. They, while once a mighty race, are now few and far between.
They use a wide variety of weapons, but nowadays most often make potions.
Foreclaimers live wherever is most convenient.
EXPLORATION AND ADVENTURE
Foreclaimers take up adventuring out of wanderlust. Since they are so long-lived, they can enjoy centuries of exploration and discovery. They dislike the pace of human society, which is regimented from day to day but constantly changing over decades, so they find careers that let them travel freely and set their own pace. Elves also enjoy exercising their martial prowess or gaining greater magical power, and adventuring allows them to do so. Some might join with rebels fighting against oppression, and others might become champions of moral causes.
i know theres not a lot here but cut me some slack
