Necrolics

The necrolics are a race of living zombies when the sun scorched the earth the sun mutated them into zombie like states they are still alive they are not dead they are not really zombies though they appear to be rotting corpses they are very much alive they are highly intelligent they are the only race that is still technologically advanced and has technology even though it is rudimentary they are the most feared race in the wastes to keep their zombie bodies functioning they use machines and a viscus dark purple fluid they replace their limbs and organs or even merg their organs with machines when they need too they are unbelievably hard to kill they are unbelievably resilient and durable damage to the brain is the only known way to kill them to counter this weakness many have covered their skulls in a type of metal protecting both their skull and brain under their flesh the necrolics eat human animal and creatures alike because the necrolics can't reproduce to replenish their numbers they abduct or take humans then put them through what is called the living death ritual it has been said that the ritual is the most painful thing ever in the world most wish and beg for death when going through it the ritual itself is the necrolics cutting open and connecting the victim and their organs up to machines keeping them alive and awake the machines keep the victim and their organs alive and functioning then they replace the victims blood with the viscus dark purple liquid they then add machines to the victims organs the entire ritual is done with the victim still awake unable to faint from the pain once the living death ritual is complete a new necrolic is born necrolic children are capable of growing and aging necrolic children are rare but do exist but the existence of a child necrolic means they went through the horror of the ritual the necrolics live in monolithic obelisks made of metal and stone with smaller obelisks around a area with these monolithic obelisks and smaller obelisks around are called cemeteries those with only the monolithic obelisks are called graveyards everyone in the world knows this and calls them this these areas also mark necrolic territory most choose to avoid these areas at all cost the necrolics have no hierarchy governship or leadership each are their own hord millions if not billions of necrolics live in the cemeteries and graveyards necrolics use weapons their weapons are more advanced than everyone elses treasure seekers often try to rob abandoned and dilapidated cemeteries and graveyards for their technology even necrolic machine body parts are valuable in the wastes trade is the only currency and necrolic technology and machine parts are very prized
