A tiger marking option like the original Ruin

Frackin Universe Stats, one suggestion of which would be Insanity immunity

Tier 6 separator (aka high-health) armor could be brain themed, given the ridiculous nigh-indestructibility of the Ruin's brain. In fact, that could work as a general theme to the armors and possibly the weapons, representing the various layers of the Ruin with each tier, starting with some fairly plain armor representing the original outer shell of the Ruin (one of the devs at one point stated that was what the Cultivator originally destroyed), eventually getting to the Ruin's current outer, tentacular layer, probably at tier 4, moving on to stuff like the jelly blobs (accelerator?) and obsidian (separator?) found slightly further into the current Ruin for tier 5, and then for tier 6, the brain as mentioned for separator, the eye-heart for manipulator, and since I can't think of anything else, the digestive processes of the Ruin for accelerator, since there's poison in the Ruin, as well as unused assets for blocks composing the Ruin's stomach. Tiers 1-3 would have to be speculating on the original appearance of the Ruin, but that provides a decent starting point for coming up with more lore.

armor tier idea:
iron tier 1: a rock looking armor with the fragment's tentacles poking out in some spots, reminiscent of the original concept of the ruin: tentacomet.
tungsten tier 2: a cracked version of the first set, more tentacles poking out.
titanium tier 3: a fragmented version of the first set, acid-green pores visible.
durasteel tier 4: reminiscent of the ruin's surface
tier 5 seperator: obsidian texture
tier 5 manipulator: reminiscent of some of the ruin-spawn that you fight on your way down
tier 5 accelerator: jellyblobs
tier 6 seperator: looking like the ruin brain thing
tier 6 manipulator: looking like the ruin heart
tier 6 accelerator: looking like the... uh... I don't know maybe a mix of ruin heart and jellyblobs.
perfectly generic item tier: a cthulhu looking thing

I absolutely agree that Frackin' Races stats are an absolute must. It's what makes races really unique and worth playing from a technical standpoint.

For the frackin stuff, maybe boosts when using wands/staves, maybe also daggers and throwing weapons? Immunity to insanity, and maybe even boosts on atropus planets? Also i just want to say thanks for making this race, ive been hoping for something like this for a long time. keep up the great work!

"As a Protectorate, it's your job to put a stop to the Ruin's destruction for the sake of the universe, but a soft but insistant voice keeps beckoning to you to find it. To reunite. To become whole again"

maybe have a perk like the maddening atmosphere (think it was from frackin universe) which you get from atropus planets, except with the ruin being the one talking, or making sounds, i dunno

I would think they should have custom text when examling stuff

give them a rivalry with the novakid, or subvert it and make them friends. since the novakids are implied to be part of the cultivator

I'm sorry I put suggestion in other comment section.

A craftable beacon made only by fragments that calls for members of the Occasus that will fight for you until death.

A tentacle grappling hook.

I assume the poison in the Ruin is supposed to be like a replacement for blood and so would the fragment have the same thing, so shouldn't they have poison immunity?

Seeing as each race has their own time (humans : present day, apex : future, florans : tribal, etc.), I think that a 15th century Spanish influence would be unique. I also think adding rapiers, smallswords, and old world firearms (muskets, flintlocks, blunderbusses etc.) would be cool. Also, if you do indeed implement this idea, you have to atleast include the golden line: "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!".
