this is how I picture men of the stars in 3000 years when our bodies become so advanced and evolved through genetic mutations, transhumanist cyborg implants and artificial alien virus worms coupled with radiation exposure eventually we will surpass all organic function and exist only as particles of intelligent superlight that must be contained within a hermetic chamber and pumped with a gas and we reflect the holographic projections of our organic faces in these displaysPlasmamen appear to be the remnants of an ancient space-faring species affected by a condition known as Plasma-Restructurant Syndrome. Though studies on Plasma-Restructurant Syndrome are relatively new, chronic generational exposure to plasma appears to have caused the species to lose much of its soft tissue. It is posited that, over successive generations, high-levels of plasma in the environment introduced mutations caused the loss of carbon compounds in the body and skeletal structure - leading to their subsequent replacement with hard, mineralized deposits of plasma. While it is unknown to what extent this has affected the life expectancy of any individual member of the species, as the average Plasmaman is believed to live in excess of 150 years, the high-concentrations of plasma in the skeletal structure have rendered Plasmamen to be extremely volatile in oxygenated environments.
The tissue of Plasmamen largely consists of hard dermal deposits around the bones, with flexile ligaments and tendons binding the skeleton together. This crude arrangement of exposed ligament, likely due to mutation, often makes precise movements exceedingly difficult for individual members of the species. Anatomic reports suggest that Plasmamen likely require the first ten or fifteen years of their lives to develop the refined motor skills capable of precisely manipulating instruments. A Plasmaman's organs are held in a sac suspended in the chest cavity; the organs themselves being supported by an internal lattice-like structure.
Interestingly, respiration appears to occur by the ambient leaching of plasma gas throughout the skeletal structure, the lungs themselves serving as pump-like vessels to distribute aforementioned gas across the breadth of the body. Whether caused by mutation, or an original biological feature of the species, this unique form of respiration has allowed to species to function without the need for a network of blood vessels.
As the name suggests, Plasmamen requires plasma to survive. While they can no longer metabolize traditional foods or breathe normally, Plasmamen are capable of combusting and metabolizing trace amounts of plasma in their organs. The slowly-burning plasma dissolves into a liquid form and diffuses throughout the pores of their solid tissue and creates a telltale orange glow as the vapor passes through their eyes. This reaction both provides them with metabolic energy and helps to stabilize the solidified plasma in the rest of their bodies. Without a steady supply of plasma gas, Plasmamen quickly lose energy and their bodies begin to disassociate and break down.
Unfortunately, this also means that Plasmamen must remain within a protected suit at all times when in non-plasma environs. Concentrated plasma, such as that found throughout their skeletal structure, is prone to spontaneously combust in the presence of oxygen; even a brief exposure to an oxygenated atmosphere may cause them to disassociate and combust. Additionally, as plasma is highly toxic to most species and these suits prevent harmful exposure to other crew members. However, NanoTrasen insists that, provided you respect all workplace regulations, you will find working alongside your Plasmaman coworkers to be just as safe as with those who are not.
