They are primarily plasma-based creatures, lacking any significant internal anatomy. They breathe plasma gas in a way that appears similar to how humans breathe oxygen. They bear striking similarities to the human skeleton, which lends credence to the claim that there may be a common link between the races.<br>

 Their clan-like colonies are fairly isolated, deep within the otherwise hazardous atmosphere of Gas Giants. Despite (Or perhaps due to) being a secluded species, they are quite inquisitive, and were eager to engage in a cultural exchange program with Nanotrasen. Personality-wise, they vary almost as much humans, although they tend towards being peaceful, ordered and non-aggressive. They are an industrious and scientific race, preferring to rely on technology rather than their form, especially in the "hazardous" environments that support human life.<br>

-Plasmamen (or plasmatized humanoids) are the newest species to ever come about naturally so to speak. By all technicality and definition, Plasmamen’s home planet is surprisingly the Earth’s moon. Through long term exposure to Plasma, humanoids of all kinds have found themselves slowly but surely mutating and adapting to not only resist the harmful effects of Plasma but even live and thrive off of it. Such a process shouldn’t be happening over the course of only a single lifetime, in fact it just about defies any natural process of evolution and mutation known to the current understanding of biology.

-General exposure to Plasma leads to tissue and liver damage. It acts as a toxic material in any organic lifeform’s body and can easily kill an individual in low quantities. However, a currently unknown quality that some humanoids share causes some form of chain reaction, dubbed “Plasmatization”, amidst their biological process that turns them into what is now called a Plasmaman. Plasmatization is only triggered by prolonged exposure to Plasma over the course of years, if not decades, and in extremely small quantities due to its highly volatile and poisonous nature. This causes the skin, muscle, sinew, tendons, and internal organs to break down and reform into an incredibly hot organo-Plasma compound that then covers the entirety of the skeleton, which, surprisingly, remains intact. This hot “organic” Plasma fits all the criteria to be considered a living organism, complete with sentience and self awareness.
