Phorids are a loose grouping (typically considered a sort of species) of people defined by being affected by any of several related conditions where plasma converts and overtakes organic matter. They're well known and loved for being violently difficult to keep alive in typical oxygenated atmospheres, given that they rapidly combust when they make contact with it. Typically, an individual phorid's "species" is more likely to be referred to by a name fusing "plasma" with the name of their original species, e.g., plasmaman, plasmarathi, plaskepori.
Lore
Plasma (the purple kind, not the state of matter, yeah we know), known by certain other names to science and complete nerds, sure can do a hell of a lot of things. As it turns out, one of these things is the total conversion of organic matter. Typically only harder matter is fully preserved, leading to most victims of phorid conversion looking more or less like what their skeleton looked like beforehand.
The conversion phenomenon is poorly understood, at least in part because attempting to replicate it in laboratory conditions is violently unsafe, unethical, and most importantly, so difficult to do on purpose that it's unprofitable to study. As a result, most that's known about the process is from studying accidental, naturally-occurring events. Phorid-conversion seems to happen (quite rarely) in an extremely broad range of events that more or less boil down to "extremely unsafe uses of plasma"- in the public eye, this is usually plasma fires, but fires are certainly not the only horrible thing you can do with plasma. Even so, it's still unlikely that these horrible things will do anything beyond kill their victims, as the incident rate of phorid-conversion is quite low.
Extremely unsafe uses of plasma, however, are not, largely thanks to the research efforts of a certain Company. This means that a surprisingly large amount of Phorids out there have a history with them (not that most people in general don't), especially those who work in fields that ok sorry this parts WIP i had to play super animal royale
