Conrectus (5e Race)

Work In Progress

Conrectus

“	That which was many came to be one, much like ourselves of flesh, and they are of stone. Crystal, to be exact. Imagine something so beautiful and fractious, so rigidly defined, because they are at risk of losing themselves otherwise.	”
—Ethnera Willowtusk, elven poet

Physical Description

By Yanied

Conrecti, singular conrectus, are living construct creatures formed naturally through energies leaking from the Elemental Plane of Earth. Their bodies resemble mixtures of slightly translucent igneous rock that each individually pulsate with soft light. These lights move within the stones, giving a rather strange appearance to these creatures. Conrectus limb arrangement is humanoid, but their sensors are different entirely. Each of these glowing stones that make up their body can be equated to something like a "cell" in bio-organisms. These stone cells are photoreceptive and thermosensitive, allowing conrecti to feel heat, cold, and vaguely retain surveillance of their surroundings to a limited degree so long as any parts of their body are exposed. These cells form a collective consciousness. In this way, they are different from hive beings, which are composed of many living creatures controlled by a central mind. Conrecti are composed of unliving parts that became living through their collective.

Because their bodies are wholly composed of these cells, conrecti are usually adverse to obscuring clothing since it limits their cellular perceptions. Much like golems, conrecti prefer to be naked. To protect themselves from the environment, they do sometimes wear loose cloths and wrappings, but these are usually temporary. Due to their irregular sensory system, conrecti have a hard time using items geared for other humanoids, like glasses.
