Description

From publisher blurb:

Martians are not just settlers on a distant world—they are something new. Unlike their ancestors who lived under the weight of Earth's gravity, bound to the homeworld's past, Martians are the architects of the first true planetary civilization beyond Earth.

They do not see Mars as hostile or unlivable. To them, it is unfinished—a world waiting to be reshaped, cultivated, and made into a true home.

Martians are engineers, scientists, and terraformers, driven by a singular purpose: to make Mars not just survivable, but self-sustaining.

This booklet is an in-depth look at who they are, how they live, and why they see themselves as the future of humanity.

Centuries in Mars’ lower gravity and thin atmosphere have reshaped those born on the Red Planet.

Taller, but not fragile. Martians stand taller than Earthers, their elongated limbs and lean frames a result of growing up in 1/3rd gravity.
Stronger hearts and lungs. The thin Martian atmosphere has forced their cardiovascular systems to become more efficient, processing oxygen faster and sustaining them in low-pressure environments.
Dust-worn and durable. The constant exposure to iron-rich dust and solar radiation gives many Martians a slight reddish tint to their skin, along with hardened features from years of exposure.
Struggles with high gravity. Though stronger than spaceborn humans, Martians still experience physical strain on Earth or in other high-G worlds, needing exoskeletal support or extended adaptation periods.
Unlike Earthers, who take their environment for granted, or Beltborn, who drift between settlements, Martians are fully committed to the land beneath their feet—even if it’s still trying to kill them.

This is a full 5e Race, with a description, Unique Abilties, for a Near Future Scifi setting.
