Hi guys,
In this news we proceed sharing game lore about the species of the After Reset world. This news is dedicated to Biomass.
Beyond that, if you've just joined to our daily news stream, you can find previous data about other species at these links:
Species in After Reset RPG: Part I. Humans.
Species in After Reset RPG: Part II. Animals.
Species in After Reset RPG: Part III. Insects.
Species in After Reset RPG: Part IV. Plants.
Species in After Reset RPG: Part V. Synthetics.
A species is one of the basic units of biological classification and a taxonomic rank. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring.
IMPORTANT NOTES: Due to storyline limitations, you can choose only Human species for your character in After Reset RPG's single-player mode. Despite that, you will meet a variety of other species during your adventure in the world of the game.
BIOMASS:
Even to the scientists of the United Governments, there is not much known about Biomass by 132 A.R. According to Scientific Corps, there was no evidence of Biomass species in the Past Age. The only examples of the species were found by drones rarely returned from the Red Zones. Upon being taken out of a Red Zone, a Biomass species loses its state of separate species, hibernating or decomposing into other species or just consuming itself.
However, there are some legends among Indians who live close to the borders of Red Zones ("Bad Lands", as they called it) about the demons devouring flesh and souls of those who encroach upon their territory. Similar folk tales are common among several groups of the survivor societies.
One way or another, due to extremely hazardous environments in the Red Zones, the study of Biomass keeps being complicated - leaving its true nature and origin unidentified.

That is all for today, I hope you've enjoyed reading that lore.
There other part of the lore about species is coming (Incorporeals). And according to our tradition, after the end of that small series we'll put those pretty concept arts in HD available to our backers exclusively.

Maybe you have to cook it a little first...
... biomass cake!
What I don't understand is that about "loses its state of separate species", do they are different animals in simbiosis or what?
Sounds like a Frankenstein amalgamation of various lifeforms in a non-specific way, which only manages to function in the presence of alien artefacts, maybe?
Something like a C&C visceroid?
Thanks for the good ref. Didn't remember them. But there's definitely something in comon between Biomass and Visceroid lifeforms.
That is one of issues that Science Corps tries to study :)
Another question. Is biomass result of terramorphing (or alienmorphing? What's the right word for it?) or nature's resistance to it?
The answer to your question is in the article itself:
