C-Types

C-Types are a race found in VoltAge.

Background
Celestial, or "C" -Types are not the graceful, beautiful beings that their names suggest. C-Types originated in Marema, following the nuclear bombardment of most of their country centuries ago. The term "celestial" came about as a result of their skin, which is constantly flaking, drying, and peeling off, giving it a 'feathery' texture. Over 90% of all C-Types are born with a genetic disease similar to osteoporosis, and require medical treatment their entire life. Many C-Types work as tutors, accountants, or butlers for a wealthy family; the only way they can afford their medical bills. Without medical treatment, few C-types live past the age of 30.

C-Types possess the unique ability to emit controlled bursts of radiation from their bodies. These Burst abilities, used sparingly, can serve to stimulate the regrowth of cells to heal wounds and cure diseases. However, overuse can cause radiation sickness in the subject. C-Types are immune to the negative effects of radiation, and as such cannot get radiation sickness. They are likewise resistant to the dreaded "Debilitate" status. Those C-Types who possess a sterner constitution have been known to serve as medics in the military, though they do so while wearing heavy duty armor and sheltering behind the tougher B-types and humans that make up most units.
