Korians

Korians are Humans yet they are much different than humans. They are slightly curved and attractive looking yet just resemble tall lanky like humans. These people are quite pacifists and normally do not battle and offer support to others. These human races of telepaths were the product of the War to make a Human Telepathics. Their eyes are always a gem like color and they seem to have some sort of Nirvana going on. Being true pacifists Korians do not partake in Professions that involve fighting or wounding other beings and take any in a Defensive use more than on the offense. They refrain from using destructive spells or a bladed weapon feeling to harm another is to harm them. Most abilities they use are their Psi power and even then that's used as a self defense act. Most are seen being Healers, Bards, and at most Enchanters. Their society believes also that the consumption of flesh is barbaric and eating a Vegetarian like meal is nurturing hence it's purity of coming from nature. Though there are rumors that an act of nirvana can only lead to the destruction of their race and therefore partake in learning skills to protect their people.

All Korians strongly believe the Creator and have actually made many monasteries for people to learn their ways and to receive enlightenment. Korians are great artists and performers and find that any form of art is exquisite. Defilement of the Creator or any such Artistic values is one of few ways to find out how mad they can get. Even though pacifists they will not tolerate the Desecration of their God or the values of some one's heart and mind. Most vulgar or rude gestures they simply ignore for they believe fueling the fire only burns down the woods. Korians often spend most their lives trying to reach the state of Koran where one's mind and spiritual body has left the world to a place where one's inflictions in this world cannot harm them.

This chosen path by the Korian is due to the Gods War as said mainly for their Telepathic Powers. Their Powers range highly from an assortment of categories but all offering an ability to help aid or harm other targets defensively and even the Korians hesitate in the use of their power as well as avoid harming anyone with them unless it was self defense. Some have the gift of Healing as their first yet many must grow strong through experience to unlock the rest of their powers. The Telepathic Power of the Korian was mostly sealed by the Gods due to one Korian having lost control and nearly destroying a good portion of the Pantheon. This Korian was called Raijean whom turned his back on his people's ways and turned against their Godly creators. He was one of few Korian to use their power to turn the tides of the War and was seen a Hero before his own supremacy made him arrogant to attempt to conquer the world. A young Blooded Man only known as a Dynarium stopped him and sealed him in a Prison of Pure Earth Quartz sealing him for the rest of eternity.

Korians aren't seen disfiguring their body or being very muscular due to their use of their mind powers. As they grow they can unlock their Psi power by causing what Scholars and Magi think to be a jewel composite with in their own body. This phenomenon is said to be something with in all Korians that allow the children to have the Sealed Powers of their people and unlock them as they grow. The Korians call it the Maitinrah (Mai-tin-raw) a Jewel of different shape and color for every Korian. It's about a good three inches and seems to be with in their bodies except the front of it is exposed over their breast plate. This is said to be the Life Force keeping each Korian alive hence their Longevity and ability to unlock their powers. Many mistaken the Maitinrah as an actual jewel of sorts but it has no real value but it's known to possess the Maitinrah jewel of Power which a Korian grants their powers and longevity to a person whom they choose and is often seek by those wishing to have such power. It's known that few dieing Korian have given their friend their jewel which holds all their power and longevity. Many thieves have killed Korian thinking it a Jewel or desiring the power of a Korian. However the jewel taken and not given will only grant longevity and it is commonly warn as around the neck.

To Korians the Maitinrah given to a friend embeds itself into the adjacent target. Like the Korian the receiver will have this jewel in the center of their breast bone. To Korians this is a great honor and even a greater bond of friendship among friends. To give to a lover or spouse it is seen as a greater devotion to their bounding and is seen at times as the greatest devotion of love. The new owner will be able to use the Telepathic Powers of the Korian and be able to have an extended life with out aging. Most Korians do not even grow old past their age and appear at their early 40's or younger 20’s. Now those whom stole or killed a Korian are unable to benefit of this Korian gift. This is due for a Korian must willingly place their stone into the other person at their death. If forced or given the Korian if not dieing will die a painful death and the new owner will not be able to benefit any of the powers aside from longevity. This is shown as the jewel with a crack in the center and to Korians this is a great insult. Most shun and others are even tempted to cease their pacifist and no slaying life style to kill the person if such an act is seen.

Korians can stack their Power Stones but this is highly forbidden unless agreed by the Korian Elders and the Council of Rulers. This is to prevent the similar incident of Raijean whom did this and in the end even turned against his own people. The effect increases and adds the power of another into the current stone. These are adorning over the chest as a wide open V-shape. This will unlock powers quickly and also increase the potential of each power by multiplying how many gems are on the person’s chest but also the strain upon greater power will increase. With this power they reach even a higher nirvana and in any case the Korians do not like killing or will participate in killing yet will subdue or harm the person to near death so they may be detained. If survival must come to killing a Korian will support his friends and allies but not deal a killing blow to anyone. They will fight to defend themselves but not to kill a life and normally explain to others to kill and take the life from others is wrong for it makes the Creator sad and sorrowful.

Love and Marriages are definite and is a highly sacred bond between the two Korians and their society. They do not believe love is used in physical contact unless necessary to reproduce for children. There is a mating season during the Early springs for the Korian women that get the men all worked up and it seems unavoidable for the males. The wrath of a Korian woman at this point of time isn't very pacifist like as she can be the Dominate one in the relationship and seems as if she were having her time of the month worst than ever. Most Korian men fear this day but feel no trouble by it knowing it merely is time for her to bring fourth the new generation. But as most people say a Korian woman this day is the finest than any other. Yet there is however a problem with young Korian matting with other creatures than Humans they child comes deformed and tends to die there fore to avoid the sorrowful union it is strongly forbidden to mate with other species than Korians or Humans. Though love of any bond is accepted it is just a failsafe to avoid others from taking advantage of their races gift.

For every dmg over the Barrier's protection the Korian drops in Hp. If all Hp is dropped the shield is dropped making the Korian vulnerable as they would be unconscious. To bring this ability up a Korian rolls their Mind Attribute and see if the Barrier comes up. This can also be played as an interrupt to an attackers attack when stated. <This ability Requires 100 Exp to unlock and cost only Hp that is dealt over the base Protection.>

Emojia: A Korian can cause great emotions from their targets depending on how they wield their skill. They can place any type of Emotion into the Target but they prefer to place ones that won't harm them mentally or upset them. Critically failing causes just the opposite of the effect you may try. This makes anyone who is Hostile or Unfriendly Helpful, Friendly, or Neutral if applied right. However the target makes a Mind Check Difficulty 14 and if they fail the said effect occurs however if they succeed they return to that status they are or worse. <This cost 50 Exp to Unlock>

Convasio: This converts the target to a faithful ally for a short period of time and only works on Target five Mind lower than the Korian. This lasts only for minutes equal to the Intelligence of the Korian. A d20 Mind Check is made at a Difficulty of the resulted roll and the Target must roll the same or higher to resist at a -3 for the Intrusion. If successful the person becomes a type of ally for that short amount of time/rounds and will do no harm to you and seems like an abiding servant who desires to follow your every command. Yet Korians can not have them do acts of harm to themselves or something that would harm them physically. They can have their ally protect, fight, or assist them. However critically failing the roll makes the Korian their servant of the Target for the time equal to their Intelligence. <This ability is risky and costs a 50 Exp to Unlock>

Transfuga: This ability only works when the Korian is dieing and requires them if they so desire to give their stone to another. There is no roll for this ability the Korian merely removes the jewel from their chest and places it upon the chest of the other. The gaping hole bleeds outward and the Korian soon dies afterwards no mater what is done to help aid them.

(A Korian character that makes a character a Korian and offers the stone to another Korian or character can gain any Korian ability they had. However those who attempt to stack abilities among their characters or friends will be seen as cheating and will be punish as to cheating and abusing this Race ability. It was generally build for role play purpose and a gift. So please do not abuse this ability. Remember the first jewel is free and treated as a normal action the rest must be spoken to by Elder or the Council Rulers. Email staff@everlynnrpg.com if more than one jewel is placed on) Also as a Result any abilities that stack are given a multiplier equal to how many jewels are on the Korian/Character there is a limit of 5 Jewels and those who steal the jewels will only receive longevity.)

Stack Stone: only if more than one stone of a Korian is possessed. This doubles the Effect and cost to unlock it unless already unlocked. This will increase the Effect of any Korian ability for some time. Every Additional Stone adds even more power like a multiplier. For example 2 stones is x2 the effect, three stones is x3 the effect, etc.
