Species Creation 5.0

[Srina Talon]

Codex Standardized Rules (x)

Species Creation Rules

• Species possessing extreme/unique powers, abilities, or attributes are advised to be balanced with suitable strengths and weaknesses. When creating your species consider actionable PvP related weaknesses to balance PvP related strengths.
• Completely Force-sensitive species may not start off with fully developed Force Powers. That is a matter of the individual, not the race. They are born force sensitive, but that is a potential, rather than an absolute. All Force-sensitive species may have passive abilities that do not require training (improved reflexes, low grade pre-cog, etc), but are prohibited from having active abilities (force lightning, telekinesis, etc). Exceptions are made for artificially engineered species (Sithspawn, etc), if they have been tailored for specific abilities. Racial abilities that are not affiliated with the Force (Ex. Zeltron Empathy/Pheromones) are exempted from this. These species should include appropriate weaknesses, such as difficulties with Force Null fields.
• Force Dead species are not immune to the Force- they simply cannot be affected by most abilities directly. Force Dead species should include appropriate weaknesses related to that trait, such as an inability to benefit from positive Force powers like healing or battle meditation.
• Keep in mind that Custom Species that have been submitted can be utilized by other writers. It is suggested that members discuss their intent with the original author, however, it is not required.

[ Include a description of the founding of the virus, what it could be capable of, and its history thus far. Who discovered it? Are they able to contain it or has it gotten out of control? If it was synthesized - What was the intent? Was it on purpose or by accident? Has it already affected an area?]

It's a virus! Ooh, scary. Pretty self-explanatory. It is important to note that the Codex is not the place for a "weaponized" version. If anyone wants to make it a bomb or put it in an aerosolized can for dispersal they will need to make a companion Factory Submission in the Technology Section. That being said, accidents do happen and it could be a naturally occurring phenomenon. A synthetic virus does not automatically mean that it has been weaponized. There are many applications such as medical treatments, investigative tools, etc.

• Size: [ Viruses are very small. Most range from 20 nanometres to 250-400nm. Some can even be 700-1,000nm. Go wild. ]
• Color: [ Does the virus have a particular shade when looked at beneath a microscope? ]
• Distinctions: [ Describe any unique traits that define what this virus is. Does it infect in an unusual fashion? Does it have a strange shape? Is it considered "living" or "dead?" ]

VIRUS SPECIFICS

• Source: [ Is the virus synthetic or a naturally occurring discovery? ]
• Host Species: [ What species can this virus infect? (Ex. Humans, Near-Humans, Twilek, animals, plants, bacteria, fungi, etc.) ]
• Host Range: [ What is the range of hosts it can infect? Some viruses are species-specific and others can infect different species or mammals. Choose from the following: Narrow (One Species), Medium (Several Species), Broad (Many Species).
• Viability: [ What type of environment does it require? ]
• Lethality: [ How easily can it kill? Choose from the following: Non-Lethal, Low, Moderate, High, Fatal. ]
• Severity: [ How bad is the disease or symptoms if contracted? Choose from the following: Dormant, Low, Moderate, High, Extreme. ]
• Infectivity: [ How quickly does the virus spread? Choose from the following: Very Low, Low, Average, High, Extreme. ]
• Modes of Transmission: [ Is it airborne or contact transmission? Can it be found in the water supply? Through an injury, like a skin puncture?]
• Incubation Period: [ How long until symptoms typically start showing? Minutes? Hours? Days? ]
• Re-Infection: [ Can it re-infect the host if they've had it previously or can they develop an immunity? ]
• Vaccine/Cure: [ Is there any known vaccines, cures, or antivirals available? Are there any potential side effects? If so, please list and link if possible.]

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
[ Include a description of the founding of the virus, what it could be capable of, and its history thus far. Who discovered it? Are they able to contain it or has it gotten out of control? If it was synthesized - What was the intent? Was it on purpose or by accident? Has it already affected an area?]
