{OAP} The Oculus Race

Outlandish Adventure Productions presents:

The Oculus, a race of eye-opening, long-lived, subterranean, and intelligent creatures. Oculi are humanoid eyes that speak telepathically, generating a kind of hive mind when they're in groups, called watches. They use this extreme coordination to carve out complex and awe-inspiring structures in caves.

Oculi don't reproduce in a standard manner, instead asexually reproducing by a kind of mitosis in which the "parent" determines its offspring's evolutionary function: the Oculus Adjudicate, Oculus Inquisitive, or Oculus Vigilant.

Oculus Adjudicate. The most common type of oculus, the oculus adjudicate act as wise ambassadors for adventurers and other groups who stumble upon a watch, and act as the primary builders.

Oculus Inquisitive. Oculus inquisitives are created for the purpose of exploring the outer world for places to which a watch can expand, or to engage in trade or diplomacy with cultures outside a watch.

Oculus Vigilant. Oculus vigilants are the designated protectors of a watch, gaining a type of natural armor, built for combat.

We hope you enjoy the Oculus as much as we and our players do! We'd love to hear your feedback, so please send us any questions or comments you have. Also, if you perceive any balance issues, please let us know and we will address them as quickly as we can.
