Dowámna + Dowámna cool rat version

—a biomechanical combat unit deployed by Dòrok-

One of Dòrok's most advanced creations, Dowámna is a hand-crafted soft-tissue organism permanently fused to a robotic exoskeleton. Its internal anatomy mirrors a cockroach-like lifeform, featuring a decentralized nervous system that allows it to function for extended periods even after catastrophic damage, including decapitation.

Dowámna is powered by an internal fusion core, which supplies both energy and nutrients through a photosynthesis-like process, eliminating the need for a digestive system (Though it still retains vital organs and structures like: heart, lungs, arteries.) Constant exposure to this energy source makes its cells hyperactive, granting rapid regeneration. In prolonged combat, breaches in the exoskeleton cause scar tissue and uncontrolled flesh growths to emerge, sealing damage but giving the unit its disturbing appearance.

Despite lacking traditional eyes, Dowámna perceives its environment through integrated sensors, enhanced hearing, complex olfactory systems, and echolocation. As a living organism, it requires handlers for care and conditioning, and possesses the sentience of a dog, making it highly trainable and obedient in battle.

The only reliable way to neutralize Dowámna is to destroy its fusion core, visible as a violet eye beneath the chest cavity. Once compromised, the unit rapidly starves, its organs failing as the flow of energy ceases.

Introducing Demi-humans. Pt. 2 FINAL comprehensive post

They are the result of advanced genetic engineering, born from humanity's pursuit to reshape life for survival, adaptation, and self-expression. Created as sapient beings with human intelligence and altered physiology. Ranging from animal-inspired forms to broadly humanoid, almost alien designs, they challenged ethical boundaries and redefined what it meant to be human even before the apocalypse.

Though once comprising nearly a third of the population, many demi-human species were lost to extinction in the apocalypse, while others were further altered or newly created by the Progenitors in experimental bids for survival.

Demi-humans developed rich cultures, integrated into emerging societies, and helped shape the post-apocalypse world. As of 900 ADF, sixteen surviving demi-human species remain, forming a vital and enduring part of a humanity. These are the 8 total animal-based Demi-humans, in which, humans were not used as the genetic base and instead pre existing animals were altered with advanced adaptations and human-like sapience.

These are the 8 total broadly humanoid, alien based Demi-humans.

This is where they’re distributed across the habitable zone

Frequently asked questions:

Q: are these the only Demi-human species that ever existed?

A: No, there were a lot more than the base 16 before the apocalypse, these are simply the ones who survived and made it past the apocalypse.

Q: were any of the Demi-human species altered for better odds of survival after the apocalypse?

A: Yes, Carapoids, Chiropteroids, Feloids, Lemuroids, Rattusoids, Sciurioids, Suoids, and Ursoids were born from experiments before the apocalypse, there were more experiments that occurred but those were the only successful ones.

Q: How do Demi-humans impact human culture?

Hello and welcome to The Dorok Project! An ongoing worldbuilding and comic project set in a sci-fi fantasy setting, with post apocalypse undertones.

This is a joint project created by concept artist, @den-with-6-ns with-6-ns and co-produced by her dear friend, @kingvaeonic .

"Together we seek to produce visually interesting and functional concept art in a unique world setting, with heavy emphasis on speculative biology and worldbuidling coupled with functional fantasy langauges."
