Sarcesian Heritages

Whether flitting between asteroids in the Diaspora or repairing the outer hull of a starship, you spend a lot of time in the void of space and have pushed yourself to stay exposed just a little longer every time you head out. You can remain in a vacuum much longer than the average sarcesian. You can maintain suspended respiration up to a maximum of 4 hours at a time, rather than 1 hour at a time.

You're incredibly flexible and can fold your gangly limbs up and around yourself like a contortionist, enabling you to maneuver in small and awkward spaces. You can fit through tight spaces as though you were a Medium creature.

You were raised on an idyllic crèche world and lived closely with dozens of other sarcesian children. You learned how to get along with others and stand out in a crowd early on. You are trained in Diplomacy. If you would automatically become trained in Diplomacy (from your background or class, for example), you instead become trained in a skill of your choice. You gain the Group Impression skill feat. You're incredibly flexible and can fold your gangly limbs up and around yourself like a contortionist, enabling you to maneuver in small and awkward spaces. You can fit through tight spaces as though you were a Medium creature.

Your overlarge eyes have adapted to function well in poor lighting conditions. You gain darkvision.

You have an intrinsic connection to the cosmos and can channel these stellar forces into magic. Choose one cantrip that has at least one of the following traits: dark, light, vital, or void. You can cast this cantrip as an arcane innate spell at will. A cantrip is heightened to a spell rank equal to half your level rounded up.

You've returned from the brink of death as a borai— at once both living and undead. You gain the borai and undead trait, in addition to the traits from your ancestry. Unlike other undead, you don't gain void healing. You're healed by vitality effects and damaged by void damage, as if you were a living creature. Likewise, you can be stabilized, healed, and brought back to life as if you were a living creature, save that you always return to life in your normal undead state (as a borai). You gain low-light vision, or you gain darkvision if your ancestry already has low-light vision. You can choose from borai feats and feats from your ancestry whenever you gain an ancestry feat.

You have an innate connection to the Drift. You gain the prismeni trait, in addition to the traits from your ancestry. While you're in the Drift, you can automatically pinpoint the location of Drift beacons, Drift lanes, Drift engines, and other Drift-related technology within a 100-mile radius. If you're Piloting a starship that doesn't have a Drift engine, you can serve as a connection between the Drift and that starship. This is a 1-minute activity that has the concentrate trait, and it allows the starship you're Piloting to enter or exit the Drift. Once within the Drift, the starship travels via conventional thrusters, as normal. When you get a critical failure on a Piloting check to Navigate or Plot Course through the Drift, you get a failure instead. You gain low-light vision, or you gain darkvision if your ancestry already has low-light vision. You can choose from prismeni feats and feats from your ancestry whenever you gain an ancestry feat.
