Homebrew Pyronite Species Details

Pyronite

Living Fire... that is what the legends call the race known as the Pyronites. These magma-based life forms that hail from their home planet Pyros, a planet-like star, are feared across the universe. Due to the nature of living on a star, Pyronites have had little contact with other races and planets. Though because of this when people do come into contact with a Pyronite, legends are created.

Living Fire

Pyronites are a humanoid magma-based species, the same size as humans, on average 6 feet tall. Pyronites are composed of a brighter magma body that is covered in dark red or brown rocks. A Pyronite emirates heat from their body due to their magma bodies, this causes many other races to keep their distances from Pyronites. Pyronites are lacking magma rocks around their hands and feet, with their feet being oval shaped and having two toes in the front and one toe in the back. Pyronites have a face shaped magma rock mask that is used in place of facial features. As such they have obvious eyes to speak of, instead having eye-shaped holes in their magma rock mask, and the mask is split into two sections to act as a moveable mouth. Pyronites have a flowing flame coming out of the top of their magma head which acts as their hair. Female Pyronites are similar to Male Pyronites, the only notable differences being that they have thinner limbs, their faces are longer and more curved, and they have more curved figures.

Hazards

Due to a Pyronite's biology, many species decide to avoid Pyronites for fear of being burned. Despite this, Pyronites like to travel throughout the galaxy and see what other species have to offer. Though because of their magma bodies they have limitations in how they can interact with other races. They are unable to wear armor or clothes, and they are not able to hold anything flammable for fear of igniting it. Though their magma bodies also come with benefits, the most major of which being pyrokinesis.
