Homebrew Eos Species Details
They're everywhere, god-damnit. Taking people's genes like a bunch of walking laboratories and cloning themselves like we're reaching the ******* endtimes already. Those things are all directly spawned from HIM, too. I've seen it with my own eyes, believe me. I was actually one of his... First assets.
— Mark Fatefull
Born from underneath the cloth of deceased stars and fused from the souls of wayward spirits, The Eos are humanoid creatures that take the form of horned, amorphous black holes. Known for their adaptability and abilities to replicate other lifeforms through absorption and using their genes to effectively "Clone" themselves, further expanding their own race. Albeit, their culture is virtually non-existent due to how spread out their race is. Along with how rare it is to see them all together.
Simplistic Abominations
When an Eos is spawned, they are merely black puddles mixed with stardust and dark matter. They usually grow to a size mostly above 6'4", which makes the species rather large. As for their bodies, they're mostly covered head-to-toe in black dark matter, albeit their build can vary from being slim or intensively muscular. Their distinguishing features, however, are their horns and the symbol the adorns itself on their face. These are usually coloured differently to stand apart from their black bodies and are usually unique in design to distinguish each member of the race.
Stellar Lone Wolves
Usually, Eos aren't really seen together due to the rarity of the species. Even when committing fission, it's usually while the host is currently dying or even being heavily depleted of strength after committing the act. Their relationships with other races, however, can be quite different. Either viewing them as food or lifelong companions, it is all purely based on the Eos's persona.
Eos Names
The race does not embody conventional names upon birth, but are usually named after deities of various religions to even anagrams, elements, and even scientific concepts.
Eos Traits
Your Eos character has the following traits.+2 Constitution

Ability Score Increase
Choose between any stat OTHER than Constitution to apply a +1 Modifier to
Self-Storage
Using your rather amorphous, oddly gelatinous body, you can store any object up to being large sized and within being five feet wide into your body. The object must be grabbed or grappled, and they will be currently blinded inside a dark plane of existence enveloping them until they are released. The limit of how heavy objects can be are non-existent, but there is the limit of only holding three creatures/items inside of you at one time.
Absorption
When storing an item/creature inside of you, you have the option to attempt to destroy whatever is inside of you by scalding them with the radiant light within you (or darkness, given your alignment).
If you wish to destroy an object, you must roll a d20 and must have a number higher than 10. If it fails, nothing happens. If it succeeds, the item is destroyed. Although once destroyed, you are freely able to copy the configuration of the item within your body. Although, the feature can only be used three times before needing to be taken care of VIA short rest.
If you wish to harm a creature, roll the d20 against their armour class like a traditional attack. If it fails three times in a row, the creature is immediately ejected. If it succeeds, roll 2d8 radiant or necrotic damage. If the creature's HP is depleted, they will be disintegrated within your being and have their genetics absorbed. Allowing you to briefly shapeshift into thier bodies using similar mechanics to a Changeling.
Fission
If the Eos is dying, it can take the time to sever a part of their body to create a new Eos. Dying in the process. The new Eos will inherit it's own character sheet and such, but will actually have to take the time to mature. Needing to feed on at least twenty five small-sized objects before fully growing. The new Eos will recover some of its progenitor's memories, although only three can be retained while the rest remains a clean slate.
An Eos can choose to do this while not dying, but will have to deal with the following setbacks:
- The character has half of their health.
- The character has added modifiers of -1 on all of their scores and saving throws
- Movement speed is reduced to 15 feet
- The character cannot dash
- The character must forget at least three memories to transfer to their new spawn
- The character must regain their former strength by consuming at least ten objects/creatures, while lacking the buffs that they would usually get.
Adaptable Traits
Thanks to your adaptable nature, you can choose to start off your adventures with a simple Feat and two proficiencies to kick things off
Age
Eos, given that they share similar genetics to Black Holes, live similar lifespans to them as well. Listing that down of course is a complete mess scientifically.
Alignment
Due to the widespread fluctuation of Eos being birthed, their personalities and alignments are usually formed with how they are raised. A kind-hearted Eos could be formed by being raised around a comforting environment, while the more malevolent members of the species are usually created due to the opposite.
Size
Your size is Huge. To set your height and weight randomly, start with rolling a size modifier:
Size modifier = 2d8
Height = 6 feet + 4 inches + your size modifier in inches
Weight in pounds = 200 + (2d4 × your size modifier)
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common. Although, you can pick another language from a race that you have possibly studied/assimilated.
