Newmans

[Numan/Numen variant race from Phantasy Star Online 2]


A race resulting from Photoner efforts to create a new breed of Numan."

Palman Virtual Intelligence


The genetic engineering that produced Newmans from the old Numan genetic material was then focused on the enhancement of mental abilities, and as a result the average newman has reaction speeds, intelligence, and memory that easily best a human's, but their physical abilities are significantly less developed, a sacrifice made to expedite the cloning process. Creating powerful Post-fall numens took time and resources that the photoners did not have due to their conflict with the darkers and so the Newmans appeared in an attempt to fill the void in their military.


Their greater mental abilities make newmans well-suited to the use of Technics, but the lack of physical prowess makes the vulnerable in melee combat. The sharp, elf-like ears of the Newman race were intended to act as "antennas" for Phonons, granting them access to a greater Phonon supply at a time at the cost of their physical ability; They're also said to constantly twitch and move.
