Silvaniens

[Zero]

A race humanoid like beings, their skin is made out of scales that are harder than reinforced steel and they are a very intelligent race, good with both tech and magic.  They also absorb magical energy, and can cast most basic spells. When they invent something sparks of magical energy go out from their fingertips into whatever they have invented.  For centuries they have been assisting fledgeling civilizations by leaving relics behind of their tech, old stuff that is hopelessly outdated to assist them. But now tired of wandering the universe the race is looking for a place to settle down and call home. The race is more of good samaritans tech wise, but they will not assist any evil empires, IE the Anrufe or the DAIS if they find out they are evil. What they look like is lizards, but they walk on two legs and are about the size of humans.  About, as some are taller or smaller. The smaller ones are female, the taller ones are the males. There are some evil of the race, just as there are some good. About half the race is evil, and half the race is good. They are also powerful technomancers given that their magic is used more or less to aid in the construction of various technologies. As for life span, they live about 2000 years. Also each of them are linked together and have a large orb that when they die all the knowledge they have accumulated is sent into, over their life time. Any one of this race can access said information. However, they also possess the ability to shapeshift so as to blend in. Oh and their bodies are good at regenerating lost limbs like a Star Fish for example would.

You can't protect yourself from every single disease.

[Zero]

Edited that out. ANy problems now?

[K2]

What do you mean they absorb magical energy?

[Zero]

See, if someone were to use energy bolts or something, it would be absorbed into them. And when they invent something, let out into the invention.

[K2]

um... no.

[Zero]

Edited out the bolts.

[Queen Bright]

Un-humanoid and made out of scales tells us nothing. IF they don't look human what do they look like? Also don't just say they're 'on par with this race or that race,' explain their strengths and weaknesses not comparing them to other things.

[Zero]

Edited once more.

[Zero]

Bump!

[King Jeebus]

Shorten the lifespan significantly, if they'd been around for this long people would have known about them.
Also, you cant dictate the morality of a whole race- There would be good and evil ones.
Last point, the absorbing magical energy. How? Does this negate whole spells?
Elaborate on that or remove it.

[Zero]

Edited.

[King Jeebus]

This would have to be an extremely risky thing for them to do given most spellcasters are capable of controlling the energy they send out.What's to stop the spellcaster basically making the energy explode the second it enters the silvaniens body?

[Zero]

Broken down into basic components, means that it is broken down to the point the Caster would no longer control it.

[King Jeebus]

How do they do this? Logically not everyone in the race could do this as it's basically a "Get out of every spell aimed at me" card.

[Zero]

It is not every spell.

It is more like energy based ones. Such as shockwaves of energy, energy bullets, those kinds of spells.

A race of un-humanoid like beings, their skin is made out of scales that are harder than reinforced steel and they are a very intelligent race, good with both tech and magic.

I still need to know more about them. I already told you this. If they're un-humanoid then obviously they have no human features we can relate to. Therefore explain their anatomy, their systems, their whole build. Right now we know nothing except they're scaly lizard men (men? Humanoid much?). That doesn't cut it Hawk.

They also absorb magical energy, and can cast most basic spells. When they invent something sparks of magical energy go out from their fingertips into whatever they have invented.

How can they absorb magical energy? Don't just say they absorb it. Also, go into what they invent and do WHAT exactly? Animate it? Blow it up? Nothing special whatsoever? Bind it? Details dammit.

Hive mind doesn't work like that. Hive mind would mean they have no mind of their own but the will of the queen/king/leader figure. They have a mind, but can't act upon their own will in secret.

[Zero]

Edited out what needed to be done, made them humanoid. Anything else?

[Queen Bright]

Is the shapeshifting ability magic? Because most any race can shapeshift then. And what is the reason for the orb? Why is it there? I know what it does but what in history made it? You can't just say it's there because it's there otherwise it looks like once AGAIN you're using a race as a tool.. Actually, you know what.

Rewrite the request. I want history, culture, appearance, magical and technological information, and anything else you can throw in a race. EVEN production and all of that. Right now we know next to nothing about this race.

Someone delete this.

Humanoid->Lizards standing on two legs.

I have a problem with that. A lizard in general will need a flexible tail that can handle the body being in a vertical position. The rib cage needs to be shorter in order to help this, the limbs need to be longer too. For a real lizard to be on its hind legs, that will only last for seconds. Even those neat lizards who run on water can pull it off for only a short amount of time.

If they are humanoid but have reptilian features like scales, fangs, claws, tails, and maybe the head structure; then the legs, arms, torso and hips need to be humanoid. The neck would depend.

If the head was lizard-like, you need a thicker neck. But a human head is a thinner neck.

In reality, lizards can only regrow their tails. But since it's a sci-fi rp, I'll let it slide. But even regeneration takes time, unless you have a certain healing magic that speeds up the process.
