Homebrew Ganymede Species Details

Ganymede are a strange, mostly unrecorded race of shadow automatons. Although alive, they do not contain lively attributes. Most people note that they don't quite breathe, and food simply phases into where their mouth should be when eating. They lack much detail to their body, as they are permanently veiled in a shroud of inky shadow. This veil creates a blackened aura around then, faintly coating the ground where they stand. The only discernable feature is their two beady eyes. They do not blink, nor seem to have a need nor tendency to. Ganymede are known to have extremely strong mental strength, able to withstand the Luminant's terrors better than most. Their mental fortitude allows them to withstand mentally straining or damaging situations and areas longer without suffering or succumbing to the effects of insanity. Most other residents of the Luminant fear them, or show a level of Animus or hatred toward them. Some are simply confounded by their existence, and choose to veer away from them. Ganymede are born and molded in the first layer of the depths, created by one of the drowned gods. They are given life and free will, before either residing in layer one, or arising to the surface to begin their lives. Most tend to arise along the shorelines of northern islands for reasons unknown. They do not grow nor mature, as they are already created as an adult. While some Ganymede try to live free-willed lives, some dedicate their lives to worshipping the very god that shaped them into existence...

Ganymede Traits
