Ambereyes are functionally human from a rules perspective, with the addition of the following features:
Ambereyes: You have brilliant amber irises. In and of itself amber is the rarest standard eye color among humanity, however yours go a step beyond the normal - they seemingly glow with an otherworldly radiance due to their extremely high amount of lipochrome concentrated in your iris. Unlike a 'normal' human eye, your eye color grows lighter over time (rather than darkening as is normal) as the lipochrome concentration increases. Your body also produces xanthopterin as you age, causing the amber color to shift more towards outright gold over time. In some cases, an Ambereyes retains a normal amber eye color until something (typically Void exposure) triggers a full manifestation of this trait.
Blood of the Forgotten Past: However dilute it may be, if someone has enough JolKoar genetics in them to activate the recessive genes needed to manifest the Ambereyes trait, then they also have enough to qualify as a JolKoar Pureblood for the purposes of any technology that only works in their presence. This only affects technology, and does not mean that you count as a JolKoar Pureblood for any other prerequisites.
Lineage: Ambereyes are categorized by their lineage, which is defined by the progenitor of their JolKoar genetics. Typically, this will be a secret known only to the GM, however sometimes you may be informed of your lineage by the GM. Certain lineages may provide mechanical effects. An Ambereyes instinctively can tell if another Ambereyes they have met is of their lineage or not.
Void-Sensitive: All Ambereyes, like JolKoar, have an inexplicable link to the undefined, shifting reality of the Void between realities. An Ambereyes is treated as a JolKoar for the purposes of manifesting Void-linked abilities, meaning that they will always manifest Dimensional Induction upon their first exposure to the Void, regardless of a given Void Rift's strength or the duration of the exposure. Subsequent exposure functions as normal.
DESCRIPTION
An inevitable result of the JolKoar that chose (or were forced) to remain behind on Earth following the departure of the Warlord's fleets to Tau Ceti. Ambereyes are the end result of millennia of genetic spread, and is an autosomal recessive trait, manifesting only in rare cases. Some lineages seem to have very strong expressions of this trait, while others can go generations without an example.
