Seedrian[edit]
Physical Description[edit]
Seedrians are humanoid plant creatures with rounded heads and no noses. Their hair is leafy in nature and often accompanied by some additional plant. For females, this is some type of flower. For males, it is a type of wooden horn.
History[edit]
Seedrians lived on the lush planet of Greengate until an otherworldly threat to their survival appeared. This threat nearly wiped the Seedrian race off the face of the universe. The only way that the Seedrians could combat them was by using something called Mover Mode, a transformation that turned them into giant monsters for offense, however, doing so cost them their lives. The only way for them to survive was to go off-world and run. However, a section of Seedrians chose to stay and fight. Finding out that they could use their planet's life force to extend their Mover Mode transformation. Doing so was a huge taboo, to the point where the fleeing Seedrians bombed the planet as they left.
Doing so made enemies of the Seedrians stay behind. They had progressed their evolution, going beyond the large monstrous appearances they once had to slender, sleek, almost construct-like forms. They grew exoskeletons made of Adamantine, and weapons to suit. Only five survived the fall of their home world. Those five proceeded to start up a faction called the Metarex. Together, they created ships to go beyond their home world and made an empire amongst the stars, creating factories for other Metarex as foot soldiers, star ships, generals, and warlords. Their ultimate goal is to wipe out the universe of animalistic life, leaving only a peaceful kingdom of plant life in its wake.
Society[edit]
Seedrian culture is particularly druidic in nature, due to their intrinsic connection to plant life. While most are pacifistic, some seedrians are not above resorting to violence for the greater good. Additionally, not all plants are simply peaceful lifeforms that do no harm. Invasive plant life, such as the Kudzu plant, grows out to unfathomable lengths and steals soil from nearby plants, taking their nutrients, and even growing above others and stealing the sunlight from them.
Seedrian Names[edit]
Seedrian names typically are named after some type of plant, an element of space, or a combination thereof.

When you do so, your size becomes Large or Huge, your movement speed becomes zero, and you lose the ability to perform verbal, or somatic components for spells, attack, dodge, or use the skills Athletics, Acrobatics, Slight of Hand or Stealth. You gain vulnerability to fire, but resistance to bludgeoning and piercing damage.
