Idea for a new race

[Malkaz]

 

So, the race is the Elemental.

 

But wait. Wait, waaaaaaaait.

 

Forget the guy in flames burning everything and spitting fireballs. Forget the ice golem freezing sec and looting the sec gear.

 

My idea is about a race of "normal" crewmembers, but with different sprites, of course. Breathing would be optional for the coders/admins to decide, but the main advantage of the race would be the capacity to survive under extreme temperatures. So a fire elemental could walk around in a fire and help to rescue wounded (but It would be nice if he could take damage from water and extinguishers), while a ice elemental could survive a space walk without EVA suit (but with crit damage to fire based attacks?).

 

Aside from the advantages above, they would be normal crewmembers like anyone else, working, able to touch and interact with people (but maybe contact can give chills/burning sensation, without damages unless he's using harm intent).

 

Also, a fire elemental can light his own cigarette. Screw you, machines trying to steal our money for a stupid lighter!

This sounds like it could be amazing with the whole librarian's magic in my opinion. Though it would be illegal which is quite an inconvenience.

I like it.

 

Btw, fire-based attacks would be like a lit welder, lit lighter, or flamethrower, + sensitivity to fire/heat. I imagine they wouldn't stand too close to a space heater.

Upon dieing to fire an ice elemental should be like

 

"X has died and has transformed into a furious water elemental!"

and then right after

"X has spilt across the floor" with the ground around them becoming slippery, and they're deaded by then too.
