Rimtara
Summary of Race
For Probe One, this is a very small race but with such power as to be easily able to defend themselves. They are extremely closed off from the rest of the probe and are so proud of their own race that they will march a thousand miles to save a single Rimtara when needed. They trade with the outside world, usually in technology, but they keep to themselves for most of the time. They have been in two of the major wars, but never have they been split on both sides of any conflict due to their great love of one another.
They live in small “Mushroom-Like” cities that can range from thirty feet around to hundreds and they often work as a unit, or hive, to keep the society thriving. They do not fight one another, but have no issue with stealing from other races or beings.

Racial Traits
Energy Syphon: All Rimtara are pure energy that use metal of some sort or another to house their beings. Because of this they don’t have to sleep and can leech energy from nearby energy sources. This is pulled in the form of manna and morphed to their own energy for attacks. They can only draw the amount of their imbue at a time and only 15pts. from each source around them. (Costs 25 stamina per use.)
Metal Morphation: All Rimtara can morph metal to their own needs so that they can “heal” wounds to their own suite. Since they don’t have physical bodies within the suites, they have to keep the suite intact or their energies will seep out and they will “die”. To keep this from happening they will use metal from any source around them and morph it to heal their own bodies when harmed. (Costs 100 stamina and they are fatigued for 3 rounds.)
Energy Blast : Allows user to to fire blasts of energy using their imbue points with their energy points. This does not need any other talent or ability. (Costs 15 stamina.)

Social Structure
The Rimtara live in a Hierarchy society with a King, Queen and council of Elders. All of the Rimtara are connected from one city to another. The cities can talk with one another through technologies that they have created and connect to satellites that circle the probe. The satellites will “float” just inside the atmosphere and will last around a week before being destroyed in one way or another, usually by SkyWalkers (See SkyWalkers).
Due to this, their communities are very strong and they have a massive since of loyalty toward one another. They can all be mobilized in a moments notice and a their movements can be scanned from anywhere on the probe, save for the dark side. Due to this, they are a great resource for any army that chooses to use them. However, it is very costly to get them to work with any race other than their own.
Each city, built from metals from the ore in the ground, is a technological marvel unto itself. The single city is a mobile unit like that of a tank and can be moved, though slowly, across the ground while still granting defense to the occupants. The metal that these are made of is like that of steel, but the metal is fused with the energies and powers that live within and it makes them much more dense than they truly should be. This causes a city to be able to defend from massive attacks with little to no scratches or dents. It is said that a single city can take up to thirty years for even a Rattle to crack due to its ever healing abilities. This makes the Rimtara one of the most defensible races on the probe but their size makes these cities unsuitable for any other race to enter, save for those of similar size and height. The cities can hold up to five hundred Rimtara at a time and there are nearly a thousand of these cities on Shenor alone, no one is certain how many of them are on other continents at this time. No one, save the Rimtara.
Technology
Some of the most powerful technological beings on the probe, the Rimtara are known for creating technology that is far beyond anything any other race currently possess. Unfortunately, most of the races can’t, or won’t, use the technology due to its size, or capacities. The Rimtara are known for their singular, small scale, technologies and not large scale tech. Mostly weapons and armors and nothing more. But they have been known to create large scale technologies when in times of war, but they rarely do such creations.
Religion
Rimtara follow Ibanez, the Supre Mald of technology and they follow the ceremonies that he has put forth. Ibanez doesn’t believe in many ceremonies and wants all races to switch to science and neglect the Gods, Malds, etc. but has yet been able to move other races to quit worshipping the other deities.
Base Persona
Rimtara range to anything on the scale. Simple roll starting from Non-Viable will show the Persona.
Interesting Racial Things
Rimtara are not “born” but rather created from a power surge that happens once every ninety years. They are very hard to kill, but can be defeated if their bodies are destroyed. Due to the fact that they only gain one to five “children” once every ninety years, they are dying out. They have nearly a million to their race at this time but they are slowly dwindling and are trying to figure out how to replenish their peoples, but nothing has worked as thus far. When one of them dies, their energies are released into the atmosphere and then they become part of the flow of energies and then vanish.
Rimtara can “see” the lay lines of energy flowing through the probe and can follow them to any energy source they choose. Due to this, they are excellent trackers as long as what they are tracking is using energy rather than manna or mental. Tracking any other beings is not something they are good at.
Rimtara can interface with virtually any technology known and speak with it as though it were another living being. Thus they can actually manipulate technology that is of like programming. Technology that doesn’t have like programming can be programmed but it takes time, some is simply beyond reprogramming. (This can be used by interfacing with the technology through any port or direct contact and will cost 45 Stamina to use each attempt.)
