Chat log permission from Hik for this to be a backstory race for Lucien.
[16:31] blackhawkfury221: Mind if I post up my race?
[16:32] nekohikaruchan: I don't care
Arrarrorians: Each Arrarorian is human like having two distinguishing traits that set them apart from humans, the first being a pale silver or black marking that is on their arm and glows brightly every time they use magical energy and the second are runes all over their body that glow when they use their racial ability and usually shine through the clothes as a protective field inside of Am, a field with AAM. They naturally produce AAM stronger than that of sages. Also unlike humans, they have these strange marks on their bodies and a gem in their foreheads.
The Arrarorians were also one of the more physically gifted races out there stronger than most in hand to hand or martial arts combat, even with blades they were one of the few races that could be un-matched by most combatants who did not have magic or technological augmentation at their disposal. The process to become one of these is very painful but it is slow as well, lasting 6 hours.
They do have healing capabilities, but the healing is fast. It cannot heal fatal wounds, but they are immune to all of the biological agents that could possibly affect the Narrikians, as this is a different race entirely from the Narrikians. Each ascended also can split himself into two, one that is sort of the wisdom portion, while the other is the combatative side.
Ability wise, they can manifest energy weapons on their own, use shatter point detection and do other things as well. Since their DNA is so different from that of the Narrikians, they also have not one, but four magic producing organs. Only three of those remain dormant most or maybe all of their life. Further, they can survive in space for short periods of time inside of AM. While they can?t absorb or replicate the abilities of another race, they adapt.
Culture: A secretive race, the Arrarorians built and hid many pieces of technological marvels throughout the galaxy before they died off, along with a blueprint on how one could become one should he wish, but the blueprint was destroyed. Originally they were a peace loving race, not given to much violence until disaster struck and they were forced to kill. It was then that mandatory training from age 5 upwards, and they were also taught when they got old enough to master the magical arts.
Their culture became more scientific, and they abandoned the need for any kind of religion whatsoever as that would only hamper them, although people were allowed to still be religious, just not in public and it was always good to restrain your emotions in public. For fear your magic might go off, and destroy someone or something. Lucien however does not follow this culture. They were also prone to revenge on their enemies no longer how long it took. They tend to wear turbins and clothes that cover over most of the flesh of their body.
Magic:
Far from your average military mage, these are vastly superior to the mages in the SP-verse in a few ways, or more. Due to the jewel they have in their forehead, they can focus the magical energy of their body through it for more profound effects on the environment around them, such as gale type spells become tornadoes, typhoons or similar. Their magic is strongest when they are not weighed down with armor and so in order to make their magic stronger they wear light weight but durable and flexible clothes.
You would think their magic would be air, and other elements but it is not. Instead, they have a neutrality thing going for them with the elements. What this means is that they are the mixers and mashers of the elemental magicks. In other words, they are not just limited to one element for their magic, but can use multiple.
Also unlike others, they can turn back the attacks of their enemies with magic, if the attacks are magic, all they have to do is touch it with any part of their body and the attack will go back at their enemy, the same as it was before but with a different purpose. Another thing about their magic is that for some reason it does not allow them to conceal the gem, or the markings with magic thinking those are important.
Every time they cast a spell, the marks or the gem light up. This is why they tend to cover the stuff with clothing when they aren?t fighting. The gem is a mark of pride among them, and while some may have the gem, others have the marks. It is rare however for someone to have both the gem and the marks. It has happened in the past however. Due to their unique magic, they are also able to manipulate both positive and negative dimensional energy for their own use in medium size amounts. This allows them to add the energy to their spells, for greater effects if they so choose.
History: For thousands of years, the Arrarrorians in a different dimension from the SP-verse fought in a brutal war that they don?t remember the cause of against a race, the Narrikians and all the sub-races of them along with the genetic experiments they had. The fight continued until the Arrarrorians managed to tear open a rip in space and send their enemies, the Narrikians through, but not without suffering heavy amounts of casualties themselves.
A wise elder decided upon a plan of action that could be taken eventually. Waiting for the last of the generation that had fought them to die off, the elder began to build a technology that would allow the Narrikians to walk a day or longer in their shoes. Unfortunately he made a mistake with the device, causing anyone effected by it to have irreversible change done to them. The Narrikians were monitored, and eventually one would be selected.
Over the decades, they watched and waited and hatched schemes. Finally the one that would be their means of revenge was born, Lucien. Only they would wait a while and let him enjoy his life first since the elder was by no means cruel. Eventually after watching the trouble Interpol and other similar groups had caused Lucien, he deemed it time. The device was snuck into the cosmic palace right as Lucien was doing a ritual to become Ancient Narrikian.
The device overpowered the magic, causing Lucien to be changed forever into an Arrarrorian. Only he was allowed to retain his memories. The side-affects of the change however would also make him abvle to open the White Room, which had originally been their?s without the use of any kind of tablet or key, he has but to touch the handle.
-
Hawk, this race is a tool. You only made all of this up in order to get Lucien even more powerful. Not only that but in your description in the OTHER request, it doesnt make evolutionary sense. Either way it hasnt been approved.
-
1. It was approved. By K2.
2. Lyoko said he had to check with hik, which if I think about it means once he checked, he approved.
-
Okay, I like this, it has both strengths and weaknesses in it. I would, however, like to hear more about the people's history and what not.
-
It can produce natural AAM, stronger than the sages. Hikaru says that AAM is produced by tech, natural AAM is Milgaitt. Also, I really dont see any weaknesses.
-
Natural AAM doesn't have to be Milgaitt, if I remember right Milgaitt just strengthens magic to overcome an AM field, not negate the AM field itself. The Anrufe and a few others naturally produce AAM fields, which they learned how to do from studying the technology.

1. History
The Arrarrorians existed in a dimension far outside the SP-verse and withdrawn from the laws that governed the SP-verse. Eventually one of them hit upon an idea, their rival race the Narrikians had come to the SP-verse. So it would be fun if they werre to try something, see how a Narrikian liked being transformed into one of them through magic and science combined. Partially this would be to make the Narrikians learn how they had been treated. The arrrarrorians had been chased out of the SP-verse by the superior numbers of the Narrikians. So for a while, they plotted revenge. And then it hit them on just how they could obtain such revenge and so they built a device. A very special device that could transform a Narrikian into an Arrarrorian, but it had never been tested. Building up their military strength, they snuck the device into the cosmic palace right as Lucien was doing the ritual to become ancient narrikian. Revenge would be had by them or at least that was what they thought. The revenge would not happen exactly as anticipated though, for the Narrikians had forgotten about the Arrarrorians as that was several generations ago, before Rezick. But still, they were bound to mistreat Lucien the same way the Arrarrorians had been mistreated, and so now they just watch to see what will happen to Lucien, who was their unknowing guinea pig. Also, in order to see how the Narrikians of this day and age would react they sent some of their technology to a place Lucien was one of the few who could get into, some of the basic stuff. Sending some of the schematics and blueprints for their technology into the White Room via beaming tech, they had learned of that ancient place the emperor had from a prisoner they had tortured the information out of, the wife of Rezick. Now they will just sit back and enjoy the galactic level opera that will be going on for their entertainment.
-
Ok, come ON! REALLLY?! Why would any person HELP their rival?! And only one of them!?!? This just confirms beyond ANY doutb AT ALL. That this is just another scheme to get Lucien more powerful.
-
Edited.
-
Hawkeye, this is an interesting idea, but Zak is right, it needs to be more than just a tool. If you can make a well balanced request that isn't just to help you beat Orph, Lyoko, or me, then we will approve, and the better of a request you can make, the more likely we will take you off request probation, but you have to prove it to us. This request is t any better than your previous requests.
-
Edited. See my edits to it.
-
Sorry Hawk, still not good enough. Put as much thought into these as possible, mate. I want to help you out, I really do. I suggest reading http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=13419 I used a lot of information suggested there to build my empire.
-
They have all the species abilities of the Narrikians, have titanium in their bones and theyre a completely separate species?!
-
Once more, edited.
-
Not enough to impress me about taking you off probation, but approved. You need one more approval.
-
.... Now theyre just going to ridiculous lengths to 'get revenge'. The elder wanted them to walk in their shoes? Really? And they snuck into Cosmic Palace and changed Lucien into a friggin Arrorrian? *sighs* this is just silly.
He hasnt NOT made them a tool! Their sole purpose for existing is still to make Lucien more powerful! GRAH!

1. That is where you are wrong.
2. This will lead to him being despised by most narrikians, thus character building as it teaches him a lesson about the Arrarrorians.
3. He is not anymore powerful than he was before, but his DNA changed.
-
You know, he is right, Hawk. I will approve, but you really need to flesh these out more, or I will take my approval back.
-
1: He doesnt look any different. Not to any noticeable degree. They wouldnt find out unless they scanned his DNA.
2: HE IS MORE POWERFUL. Titanium in his bones? Being able to produce AAM naturally, which, again, Hik said is impossible because AAM is produced by tech. Nilgaitt is natural AAM. Healing extremely quickly? Yep. All of this other stuff. Theyre just super Narrikians.
-
1. No.
2. His eyes, hair and clothes have changed.
3. THEY ARE NOT FOR THE LAST TIME NARRIKIANS!
-
1: But those changes arent drastic enough to friggin let people know he is an entirely different species!
2: They might as well be. They look human, are more powerful, and for some reason want Lucien to be one of them.
-
And he will have a gem in his forehead as well as strange marks on his body. Edited that into the race, and I am still editing the culture and other things about this race to make them better.
-
Their whole purpose for being is to make Lucien more powerful! Thats it! Thats the only reason youre putting fluff into it.
-
Wrong. I am actually doing this to develop him as a character better.
-
This shouldn't be about the character, Hawk, it should be about the race. I want to know who they are, I want clear details. The Zarethians have clear amounts of info which are well organized and precise but not over the top. Its not just stuff about genetic differences, it's stuff about who they really are.
-
Added some more information.
-
Still could be improved upon greatly, but as I said before, approved.
-
Now all that remains is one more approval.
-
Bump, someone approve or deny.
-
They naturally produce AAM stronger than that of sages.
Remove it. Races don't naturally produce AAM. AAM IS NOT natural . It's technology unless you went and pulled a K2 and used technology to change your inner whatevers to produce it. But born producing it? In that case you have to explain what it is, how it interacts with the body, why the race was born with it, how its produced, etc. Fill it out or remove it.
