Descient
06-09-06, 06:54 AM
Name: Descient.
Age: 4632
Race: Darkling.
Sex: Male
Height: 2.85 meters.
Weight: 285lbs
Class: Fighter.
Alignment: Neutral evil.
Personality: Descient holds little personality, he strives mainly for food and will attack/ eat anything that he decides he wants. He cares little for other creatures/ peoples feelings and will only pay attention to others if he benefits from it. Self preservation is what keeps anyone around him alive, even if that means he might be hungry later, you’re his food.
Appearance: Descient is a Darkling and therefore his body is vaguely similar to that of a dogs. He moves on his four legs yet they are also adaptive to be used as humans hands would be, therefore holding objects is not a problem. He has no fur at all and appears like he has been burned and scared but it is actually his natural skin. Merging patterns of red and black from his toes to his face to create his skin colour and his ears are merely holes in the side of his head. His face is somewhat the same as a dog, long with red eyes and a large jaw for biting with a lock tight gip when closed. His entire body is almost pure muscle, designed to fight under the most extreme circumstances it needs every muscle to get through dangerous situations and bring down his prey.
Skills/ attacks:
Claws:
His front legs are slightly bigger than his back ones as these are his main attacking legs. Each set with 6 claws from each toe and one from the back for maximum grip to anything he manages to get a hold of. Using this he is an excellent climber and deadly when attacking. Each claw is about four inches long for high damage.
Teeth:
His teeth are long and highly dangerous. With two rows along the bottom of the jaw and one row at the top, however the single row at the top contains his larger teeth the canines being the largest of three inches. His Jaw is large yet the top row of teeth often stick out along the sides of his lower jaw but will close aligned with the rest of his mouth.
Bone dislocation:
Descient can dislocate his spine and leg bones with out feeling any pain. Using this he can twist his body to fit in strange situations. This came about after his ancestors would often break their legs when attacking prey from front on, there for after years of mutation and evolving his race has achieved this as a solution. This is something he cannot complete without complete concentration, so unless undisturbed this is not something he can manage to complete during combat as it takes too long to complete achieve. (This does not include harm from other beings. Anyone else other than himself dislocating his bones would cause the same affect as to an normal animal. Ouch...)
Speech:
Speech isn’t something that has come natural to the Darkling race. Centuries ago no Darklings would have imagined being able to speak the language of their prey. Once again years of evolving have expanded their abilities and Descient was the first to learn the way of speech. The voice box had always been their but only for their own way of communication, Descient was the first of many to start learning the speech of their prey. Now they can interact which other species and often use this to attract any careless people away from their group and into a trap by calling their name.
Darkling skin:
Darklings have lived as any other animal for years, they often live amongst the trees in forests of any sort and have therefore developed a natural resistance to some of the weathers affects. Their skin has become water proof and does not take in the cold, their inner warmth does not escape unless they relieve via sweat. A Darkling is resistant to fire meaning they do not burn but will react like any other creature and over heat. They cannot stay in a heated area long with water because of their heat tight skin and can die of heat exhaustion easily in hot places.
As a result of this the skin has become highly adaptive and tuff. It now acts like light armour from any attacks it may receive. Although it hasn’t got any real defensive qualities from weapons, a Darkling relays on his abilities of attacking to make up for its lack of defence.
Race Details:
Darklings are creatures that live on the basis of survival. They do not have an age limit and therefore do not die of old age or over worked organs. They live till they are slain by what ever or who ever and can multiply quickly as females can have up to 10 babies every six weeks. Darklings are highly intelligent and will learn from any mistakes they make, now with the ability to interact have furthered their knowledge to the highest ever in known records and are now becoming a well known fear by the public. They are known to mainly live in woodlands and forests, being avid climbers this has been their most dangerous living areas and is rarely approached by other races if it is a known spot. Although Darklings will not hesitate to live or move about else where, now becoming a feared predator of the lands their confidence has grown and they are expanding through out the world.
Darkling skin is highly sort after and hunters have always and will always strive for it, but they never get it easy. After intelligence grew hunters are a lot less common to this day, The Darklings began to over come the common hunter’s intelligence and lead them into traps of their own. Now since this Darkling skin is highly expensive and hunting has become a costly business for any man to take part in.
History:
Descient has been around for over 4600 years and a lot has passed in his time, His entire life started in what they believe to be a war. A war for survival of the fittest, by only 5 years into his life he had evaded the knife twice, saved by his mother. She taught him everything for the first twenty years of his life, rather a long time for such a creature to remain a child, but Descient has learnt to stay near his family for protection as the hunters were in their prime back then. Hunters from humans and elves to orcs and goblins, everything valued their skin, worth so much money no one cared to think about how many of them must have been left. Descient never really knew if they had even come close to extinction, but he grew up knowing that power was in groups. Slowly as time passed Descient like many others began to understand the way the human traps worked, they wouldn’t bother with trying to simply hack at them. They wanted the skin and the less damage they took the better, so cages and pits and rope traps became the usual dangers in his life.
It took nearly a thousand years to turn it round, but gradually he came to understand how they worked., how they knew where the place the traps and in turn, how to out smart the hunter. Soon it was the hunters who became the hunted, the natural predator finally became the dominate predator again. Descient and his race slowly began to spread out more across the lands until finally reaching towns and villages, although it had become much too dangerous to try and attack a normal living area full of human activity so they stuck to the forests. Now that they were no longer the hunted their land was theirs and no longer did they live in fear. Keeping to the forests and woodland, they stayed accept Descient, who moved close to a small village, a tiny place with only about forty or so people in. And knowing full well he couldn’t let himself be seen he would sit in the surrounding trees and listen to them. He wanted to know why they were the way they were, what they were saying to each other, what they were planning on doing so he listened.
After so many years he one day started to speak their language, it just escaped from his throat like it was meant to be. Unaware that this was something his ancestors never knew, but it was there it was part of him, something his body was designed to do. So he carried on listening and learned the names to their homes, to their pets and most importantly, he learnt their names. Soon it was known that they could speak the language of the humans, soon it was proven that they were learning and learning quickly. Descient can still remember sitting in the bushes and calling a child’s name,
“Sarah….Sarah…”
He could almost mimic a male or female voice. So she would walk to the voice, asking who was there, who it was.
“It’s…Descient my dear…and I’m afraid you won’t be returning home…”
The child actually survived, much to Descients disapproval her family had arrived before he had chance to strike. But they had heard his words, they had seen what he could do, they knew his name as they dragged their now scared daughter back into their home. His name was the first to be revealed from his species, but it wasn’t the last, it just remained the most famous of his species and still is today.
