This mod adds:
[list]
[*] Xenotype: a genome of Badger people made for dependability
[*] Genome Injector: wipes all genes and replaces them with the Bageard genome, buy it from Outlanders and Exotic Traders (caution: 2 day Coma)
[*] Stedvard Shotgun: similar to the Chain Shotgun but with a bayonet!
[*] Stedvard Charged Shotgun: similiar to the VWE Charge Shotgun but with a bayonet!
[/list]
Lore
Born from the early megacorp program “Stoic Variant 7C,” the Bageard were engineered
to solve a problem no amount of automation could fix: baseline humans simply broke.
Long-haul spacecraft needed maintenance crews who would not panic under pressure,
outposts needed workers who would not spiral into social drama, and remote colonies
needed colonists who could tolerate isolation, repetition, and bleak conditions
without losing their grip on reality.
To meet these needs, researchers hardened the human template instead of enhancing it.
Bageard process stress slowly, move steadily, heal stubbornly, and function with
minimal sleep. Their psychic centers are muted, their social instincts blunted, and
their emotional volatility greatly reduced.
The result is a compact, rugged, unyielding type of human built for long duty shifts,
monotonous work, and environments where enthusiasm matters less than persistence.
They are not charismatic, artistic, or particularly graceful. But they remain calm
when others break, keep working when others quit, and simply do not stop.
Most megacorps considered the result a success.
Most Bageard consider themselves… sufficient.
Notes
[list]
[*] This is my first Xenotype and Gun mod!
[*] Let me know your feedback! I tried hard to make both the genome and the guns balanced. If I messed something up I'll try to fix it.
[*] If they don't really look like badgers... well, I kind of agree. It was really hard. Dark patches behind their eyes hid their eyes. For now, I did the best I could. Their markings are more like Honey Badgers.
[*] I extensively used ridiculous amounts of AI on almost every part of the project :) AI depressed me for a month as a creative until I decided I'd use AI to make stuff I couldn't make without it. That is definitely true for this project, especially on the injector! I probably spent 40 hrs on this mod so my heart is intermingled with every aspect. If you don't like that then I'm glad you don't need AI, but I couldn't have made this mod without my buddy AIs.
