Homebrew ARMS User (2.0) Species Details

The earliest depiction of the phenomenon discovered so far dates about 1500 years, but experts argue that these ARMS may have existed since 4000 years ago. This phenomenon is also found in animals and plants. Old tales have described the bearers of this ability as a rarity, which led to those with ARMS in ancient times being revered by many, but the number of people with ARMS has increased dramatically since, with about 20% of the worldwide population having it at present—possibly more, as the statistic discounts anyone who may not have reported the ability.

 

Most cases of ARMS transmutation happen overnight and are noticed when the individual wakes up. This transformation happens most commonly to those around the age of 10, but has in some rare cases happened to people as old as 74. There are also some exceptionally rare cases of people having ARMS from birth. The probability of ARMS being congenital appears to be about 1 in 100,000.
