Homebrew Forgeborn Species Details

 

The Forgeborns world is a green gas giant located near the central cluster of solar systems located on the inner border of the Armathos galaxy

The planet is said to contain mostly chlorine gas, giving its greenish color from faraway, but within the atmosphere contains hues of red and orange due to iron(III)oxide dust swirling in the air. It is always windy on the planet due to its high rotation speed. The gas giant has a liquid mantle made of a mix of different metallic gasses, mostly hydrogen and chlorine, with a dense, solid, iron, ironoxide and oxygen core. The planet has a day cycle of 48h, and is approximately the size of 200.000km, due to its composition it has a multitude dense magnetic field which allows for save UV levels.

The forgeborn species have learned to adapt to the surroundings, having a black iron mask with electroplated xeflil metal, and a chestplate build with an energy core built into the species, allowing it to survive despite metal corrosion from the chlorine, and the oxygenless environment, due to the high cybernetics they can live up to 600 years (or 100 years of gas giant years)

The metal is used to create new forgeborn and help them survive in the conditions of the planet, with void-xeflil for respiratory, sustenance, mind protection (anti magic) and stability of the bioengineering of the forgeborns body. Forgeborns who do not have this xeflil metal, or manage to get severely injured, experience the dissolution, here the body will slowly deteriorate without the necessary protection.
