Homebrew Arcosians Species Details
"I doubt I need an introduction, but just in case, I am the mighty Frieza, and yes, all the horrible stories you've heard are true."
- Lord Frieza
Physical Description
Most Arcosian's have red pupils and their bodies are covered in typically white, exoskeletons. They also have reptilian features such as a long tails, prehensile three-toed feet, body spikes, and horns. They are adorned with colored gem plates on the head, torso, ankles, wrists, and shoulders. Arcosian's can have hair, though this is uncommon. Arcosian's are born with so much energy and power that they must go through four stages, or “forms” as they call them, as they mature. Their first form is small, often with a large head, long tail, and stout body. Their second form is much larger, bulkier, and more imposing, with larger and more pointed horns, like a bull. Then their third form, also called their Assault Form, is about the same size as their second form, but with a great amount of physical mutation, looking strange and bizarre to all other creatures. Their fourth, or final, form is their strongest, but is smaller than their other forms. They are sleek, lithe, and slender, with an appearance that is simple, yet frightening to those who know what it means. If a Arcosian's activates all of their power in this form, it bulks up significantly, becoming much more muscular.
History
Arcosian's are a rare, powerful race of aliens from far-away stars. Arcosian's can easily find themselves in positions of power due to how easy it is for them to display dominance over other lifeforms. Because of this, the Arcosian's are a feared race, and one of great authority in their home systems. Many galactic tyrants have been Arcosian's, so those who do not fear Arcosian's often treat them with disrespect and discrimination.
Society
Arcosian's are ruled by a king or queen, who can hold sway over entire galaxies if they play their cards right and display enough strength. They are proud, frightening, and majestic, though they are not often noble. Arcosian's are powerful enough that they rarely train, instead relying on the power they have had since birth. Arcosian's are small enough in population that encountering them in large groups is almost impossible; instead, they are often raised by only their direct family, moving on to find a mate and likely a planet or several to rule once they grow older.
Arcosian's Names

Posted Apr 3, 2021It should be noted from a lore perspective that they are not born in "First form" but are born in "Final form", and each form is a limiter of power until the last. The race itself doesn't get any stronger unless it achieves Super Evolution (Such as with Cooler), or accesses the Golden Arcosian transformation. Weaker Arcosians have less need to limit their powers, and thus would have less forms to transform down to, meaning some don't even have the small first form with horns at all.
