Arkanis

🛡️ The Arkanis

A powerful, beautiful human race descended from titanic beings.

🔷 Overview

The Arkanis are a race of physically powerful and exceptionally attractive humans, descended from ancient titanic ancestors. Their bloodline grants them naturally muscular bodies, slow aging, and radiant charisma. They are both feared and admired by other peoples.

💪 Physical Traits

Males: Towering height of 2.0 to 2.3 meters, with heavily muscled, symmetrical physiques—like living statues carved from bronze.

Females: Tall as well (1.8 to 2.0 meters), with strong, toned bodies and radiant beauty.

Skin: Ranges from bronze to sun-kissed gold, often with a soft shimmer under sunlight.

Eyes: Jewel-toned (amber, emerald, sapphire), with a faint glow during intense emotion or combat.

Hair: Smooth, often long; colors range from black, silver, fire-red, or gold.

🌟 Unique Abilities

Titan's Frame: Arkanis are born with high muscle density and strong bone structure. An untrained Arkanis male can lift 400–600 kg, and elite warriors can exceed 1,000 kg.

Divine Allure: Their beauty and body symmetry are near-perfect. Other races instinctively notice their grace and power.

Combat Focus: During battle, adrenaline heightens their reflexes, and muscle output increases—allowing bursts of extreme strength.

Slow Aging: Arkanis age at one-fifth the human rate. A +100-year-old Arkanis appears about 20.

Immortal Body (Slow Aging): Age 5x slower than humans; still retain youth and strength well into centuries.

🏛️ Culture

Strength is Status: Physical training, combat, and lifting competitions define their social order.

Beauty is Sacred: Well-kept hair, body paint, tattoos, and ceremonial armor are marks of pride.

Divine Bloodline: They believe they descend from Korhal, Titan of Might, and Auralis, Goddess of Desire.

Dual Life: Arkanis are both warrior-smiths and aesthetic philosophers—blending brute power with elegance and craftsmanship.

🌄 Homelands

Live in fortress-cities built into cliff walls, mountain peaks, or sun-drenched highlands.

Their cities are decorated with colossal statues, marble roads, and glowing forges that run day and night.
