Special Abilities/Description
The Rion can absorb directed energy. This ability came from the time far in the past when food was scarce. The Rion were able to adapt to absorb heat and light from the air. They are colored completely black but other wise look like humans, and generally go naked to give the maximum surface for absorption of energy. They do wear clothes when associating with other species. They feel slightly cold to the touch, as the skin begins to absorb the other person's heat. When being shot with an energy weapon, treat them as if they have one armor. Some Rion can release energy from their fingertips in the form of electricity. This can be used to heal other Rion, or to shock another character.
