Homebrew Fanalis Species Details

The fanalis in their true form are red-maned leonine beasts with skin like bronze metal. Their skin was said to be as strong as steel. Upon arriving to the new world, their form was sacrificed in favor of humanoid shape. Their mane became hair and their skin turned paler. They retained a high muscle mass, which has a metallic sheen when flexed or tightened. Their eyes usually look golden and can also be red. Most fanalis like a piercing on their bottom lip as a distinction.

History

In the world of Alma Torran, there existed the Dark Continent, which was a new world made by the god Solomon. Within was the home of the fanalis, named Cathargo. As the Dark Continent was largely separated from the new world within the Great Rift, the fanalis perfected their powerful bodies away from prying eyes. Their beast form was ferocious, and they were the ace hunters easily across the world. Eventually, as the old world died, the fanalis were among those transported to the new world, where their beastly guise fell away and they took on human shape. None of their strength was lost, as they were still easily the most powerful race. As they lived among the many other species of creatures, their blood came to diverge into the pureblood and those of other blood. Purebloods retained much greater strength and closer relation to their beastly, savage side. However, their bodies very very unreceptive to magic, and so they were often unable to use artifacts and such. Those of other blood balanced their lesser strength with a higher affinity for magic. Thus the fanalis race all around was a force to be feared.

Society

The fanalis are a hardy race to have survived as long as they did in the Great Rift. Upon transport to the new world, the transformation left them somewhat disoriented and they were taken advantage of, with many sold to slavery for their strength. However, as they regained their wits, they broke free. Today, they live in small groups seeking to regather their race so they might return to the Great Rift, which is the true home of the fanalis. Once there, they are said to never be able to leave again. Their small groups are governed by strength and bonds between blood. Purebloods sometimes find half-bloods diminutive, but they acknowledge their power with magic.
