Beastkin
Beastkin, a diverse race of humanoids created by the enigmatic Builders, emerged from a process of hyper-evolution induced by nanites. These transformed beings, bearing animalistic features, possess intelligence, language capabilities, and a strong sense of community. Proud and independent, Beastkin value their families and friends, demonstrating a peaceful nature while remaining steadfast in defense. Their diverse skills, including hunting, tracking, survival, and combat, make them valuable allies in any undertaking.
Nano-Adaptation
Beastkin possess an innate adaptability due to their nanite-infused biology. They can temporarily adjust their physiology to better suit their environment, gaining minor advantages like enhanced night vision in darkness, heightened smell for tracking, or increased endurance in harsh conditions. This adaptation is short-lived but provides tactical edges in various situations.
Pack Mentality
Beastkin have a deep-rooted connection to their communities. When working together with allies they trust, their strength, speed, and coordination are amplified. This ability could manifest as a morale boost for the whole group, allowing them to shrug off minor injuries or share sensory information during combat.
Primal Instinct
Thanks to their animalistic heritage and nanite enhancements, Beastkin can tap into a primal instinct that grants them bursts of extraordinary power. This could be a sudden surge of strength to lift a heavy object, heightened reflexes to dodge an attack, or even a momentary healing factor to recover from a wound. However, using this instinct is taxing and can leave the Beastkin fatigued if overused.
