Homebrew Valastrian Species Details

 

Valastrians

Valastrians are a bio-mechanical species that survives solely on the magnetic frequencies of technology. They are very highly advanced and few in number. They are rarely seen and some even speculate they aren’t real.

Intelligent and Wise

While they may be rather secluded, they are very technologically advanced and can easily store kilos of data in their mind. They managed to create them selves almost in the perfect image, being mostly mechanical and equivilent to that of a super-computer.

However what they lack is communication. Since they have been secluded for a very long time, with limited trade relations, they find communicating with other races annoying and tedious.

Tall yet Mysterious

Valastrians are just that, tall and mysterious. Not having a fully defined face makes their emotions extremely difficult to read. They can stand anywhere from 6’10” to 7’5” in height, being quite slender and fit.

Most Valastrians are created in a lab that can cause the extremely rare circumstances for a Valastrian to be born, though the failure rate is 60% and above, leaving most of them to be created already into adulthood, it is extremely rare to see a child Valastrian.

They most common appear as a silver colour, most noticibly Iron and Steel, with a coloured accent that seems to be like their power source. The colour is more often than not green, but can occasionally be seen as blue or purple depending.

Ageless

Due to the nature of using technology to survive, Valastrians age as an enormously slow rate, living the average human lifetime 5 times over. Though their bodies due become quite taxed after 500 years as their ‘immune’ system will start to naturally decay, then causing their other systems to decay as well.

The Mountains

Valastrians have been secluded in the highest of mountains for as long as they’ve been alive. They live in these mountains where they can easily mine precious metals and gems to use in their technology, mostly Iron.

They often live in deep caverns that they create filled to the brim with their own technology, only coming to the surface for celebrations and trade agreements, which is honestly fairly often, more so with celebrations

Seclusion

The Valastrians are heavily known for their seclusion and often distaste for other races. They are not the greatest at communicating and find talking to more charismatic races to be tedious and annoying to deal with. They would much rather sit in a corner and read than interact with other beings.

While adventuring they may have a hard time opening up, simply because of their lack of communication. But they mind find walking through a forest or exploring a dungeon to be peaceful rather than dangerous

Valastrian Names

The Valastrian language is one that very few have heard or had the pleasure of listening to. So when talking to others they usually come up with Human or Elven names that end in a vowel or ‘an’. They usually also only have a singular name.
