Race Guide: an Overview

The World of Britannia is a host to a number of different races, all vying to make their mark and to control as much of the world as possible, to make their people the happiest. It is a noble dream yet, a selfish one that leads to conflicts. Each race has it's advantages as well as it's disadvantages, all seemingly balanced yet perfectly imbalanced. The Humans have the greatest number in the world, at the moment, that being one of their greatest strengths.

Though with the least number, the Goddess' clan is a force to be reckoned with especially if you're a member of their nemesis clan, the Demons. The Demons have relatively the same numbers as the Goddess', give or take, though they have an exceptional amount of physical & magical strength. The Giants have a natural physical advantage and have access to their own unique magic, while the Fairies tend to be smaller in size though with greater magic power. Humans have the greatest capacity for evolution.

Humans - Britannia's Staple

The humans of the world, though lacking in extra 'features' like the others, have the most potential out of them all. Along with their magic, they train with their weapons and their comrades and climb among the ranks to become a Holy Knight. The Holy Knights are the epitome of the Humans, worth several thousand soldiers on their own.

Their skill and might is ferocious and imperative in the defense of the kingdoms, with the strongest Holy Knight of each kingdom being named the Great Holy Knight. Sometimes there may be two, in which case they are both Great Holy Knights. It was the Humans who enchanted the weapons that would later be known as Sacred Treasures. 

Humans have three unique features: a free weapon and armor set, at Emerald rank they are able to learn a secondary magic, and at Ruby Rank they can drink the blood of a demon and undergo a 50% to become a Reactor.

Giants - In Tune with Nature

The Giants are an old race, their strength equal to their sizes. Many prefer to keep to themselves, isolated, they are located several hundred thousand miles from all of the major countries. Pinpointed on raised ground, most likely with their fabled Creation, though the sheer magnitude of the landmark shows immense prowess and magical power.

Accessible only to Giants, it resembles a giant stone cube with a beautiful civilization on top. The Giants are feared and renowned for their ferocity physically and magically. They are also famous for their dancers, often emulating a dance from their founder, Dolor. 
 
Giants have access to two unique features: they gain access to their race specific magic, Creation as well as the ability to sense everything within 2 miles due to their unique bond with the Earth.

FAIRY - Deadly Grace

Physically, the Fairy folk tend to be physically less intimidating than any of their counterparts, even the Humans. However, they more than make up for their sizes with their abilities. The Fairies are stationed in the Fairy King's Forest, an expansive area of foliage under complete dominion of the Fairy King. Most of them possess an innate ability to transform themselves, as well as fly and levitate. When in their original forms, they usually have insect-like wings trailing behind them.

While not usually packing incredible attack strength, their magical prowess is more than enough to make up for it, especially through their Fairy Weapons. These weapons are unique in that they can't be physically upgraded, they evolve as their owner grows. Each Weapon has its own unique forms, special to the creator.

The Fairies, like the Demons, see the Humans as somewhat of an annoyance. This is due to the greed and hostility that a few members have experienced, the bad severely drowning out the good. 

The Fairy people have several unique features: the Fairy people can fly and levitate without spells, have a transformation ability, possess a Fairy Weapon with 5 forms, and can manipulate the roots and branches of the Sacred Tree for limited purposes.

Goddess'- Ladies of Light

The Goddess Clan, like their name implies, is the only one made up completely of women. These women resemble, in most ways, angels. They have slightly larger bodies than humans, though no where near as large as Giants. In addition, they sport angel-like wings, and an enormous amoung of power that has allowed them to combat the Demons for hundreds of years. 

The Goddess' not only have a special aptitude for light magic, as opposed to the Demons, but they possess an incredible healing abilities. Strong members of this clan have been said to heal even the most critical of wounds, simply being around her patients.

The Goddess clan has three unique features: these females are able to fly without the assistance of a spell, they are able to utilize their specialized healing techniques, as well as access to the magic Ark.

Demons - Darkness Personified

The Demons, for all intents and purposes, are the antagonists of Britannia. Their intelligent number are few, only the Demon King and the Ten Commandments being the only ones. Aside from that, they host an incredibly high amount of peon demons. The Red Demon a fearsome demon with notable strength, the Blue Demon is one lacking in strength but with speed superior to the others, the Gray Demon is the largest and most powerful of the three.

The Demons, though under a forced armistice, still seek to make Britannia soley theirs. In an odd way, they are the oppressed however their manner of achieving this makes them villainous. Before the War came to an agreed halt, the number of casualties they delivered were double the Allied Forces. 

Demons have three unique features: the ability to use the magic Purgatory which is a unique fire able to set anything ablaze, the ability to utilize Darkness as a sort of malleable substance that can be used as clothes as well as wings for flight, a claw to attack. In addition, should a Demon kill a PC Human they are able to devour their soul and either advance a rank or gain 3 technique slots.

Vampires - Blood Fiends

The Vampires, unlike any of the other clans, was not originally just born to the world. During the War, the Humans were split by those who would join the allied forces and those who would join the Demons. The Demons, though looking down upon the Humans, were impressed they had the resolve to approach them and ask to join them. For this, they were gifted with their own unique touch of darkness.

These Humans had their very genetic structure changed by the Demon King, who made them Vampires. They had several benefits and detriments. First and foremost, they are incredibly weak to light based magic and gain the ability to drink the blood of victims to increase their lifespan. During the day they gain an additional weakness to fire magic. During the night they gain double their magical capacity.

Vampires have three unique features: access to the unique magic Impurity, the ability to drink blood from a PC or NPC Human in order to heal, and double mana for the night.

Druids - Goddess Worshippers

Much like how the Humans approached the Demons and were granted power, there has longstanding been a sect. of people devoted to worshipping the Goddess'. Over time, these people were approached by their deities and offered a deal. Stay in worship of them, learning their magic, in exchange for taking a part of their energy to help sustain themselves. This was the deal of a lifetime to the devout humans, and so they were gifted with numerous abilities beyond average comprehension.

Unlike the Goddess Clan themselves, there are male Druids. However, their role in society is not as the leader, but the protector while the women lead. Many of the Druid civilizations are hidden, with their capital Istar being the most famous of the hidden cities.

Druids gain access to three unique features: access to the unique holy magic known as Purge, able to hold the soul of a Goddess within a weapon or item for later summoning, minor healing abilities. The most powerful Druid, the Apostle to the Goddess', has access to all abilities and the Ark that the Goddess' themselves possess.
