Race Name
They have been given many names over the course of the aeons they've been around. They were called Builders, Gods, Light Beings, Ancients, and Enlightened. Call them what you will, but they are truly the Illuminati. Both singular and plural. These far-flung Origin descendants have just recently decided to a legitimate interest in their surroundings . . . but why?
Physical Appearance
An Enlightened's appearance can be anything he or she wishes. There isn't a definite "must" to the appearance. Their most popular has been described as a robe-wearing figure with four arms, and either one or two eye(s) on an otherwise shadowy, non-existent face. They have sensory appendages on their heads which relates to their psionic abilities -- these vary in size, shape, length and texture -- and tails, which also have a great range of diversity. Most seem to have white tails with red tips -- three of these, but numbers may exceed nine. Wings are another attribute, which seem to depend on class, job, rank and skill, like the colours of their robes.
Abilities, Traits
Plasmagiks: A devastating, yet harmful ability known as 'Blood Magik'. It's creators, given the nickname 'Crimson Sages', created this deadly art in secret. The Brothers of Blood were/was a cult that met underground in Groznijy Grad. Membership started out being restricted to military scientists only, but eventually expanded to common-folks. This particular kind of magic was created to be a unique kind -- not even a 'proper' magic -- to compliment the impressive psionic power of the species. By doing that, they've created a weapon along with psionics that, while dangerous and brutal, will ensure their continuity.
Choson Wizard Evolutionary Battle Forms: Created during the Age of Cunning and Guile (1217-1918), in response to the full-scale-war effort against the Arcani, another Origin species, when it was learned that a war with a technological monopoly could not be fought using stealth alone. Using Plamagiks, and the Origin-given ability to mess with genetic material, the Choson Battle Armour Project was brought into its Alpha Phase in 1396 A.W. The Choson Battle System is a hybrid amalgam of Plasmagiks and manipulation of the versatile DNA of all Origin races. When an Illuminati is about to battle, they activate the system to adapt to the situation, and meet their combat needs to ensure they live to see the next day. Currently, there are four levels: Normal, Mega, Champion and Ultimate. There is a fifth level, Hyper, but that's reserved for the Father, His Favourite, the Elite, the Royal Guard, and others as appointed by Him or the Combined Council.
Origin Genetic Adaptation: Like all Origins, Illuminati may manipulate their genetic composition for whatever reason. Acts such as these are executed by the Science Sect after they are approved by the Combined Council of the Enlightened Realm.
Typical Lifespan
The longest recorded lifespan has been a little more than 1,000,000,000 years, but the average is 2/3rds of that.
Public or Private?
Private!
Other information
Temporary request. Figured I'd try participating in the event since it's clearly been packed with hard work and thought. Don't want it to go to waste. Oh yeah! Yes, I'm making fun of conspiracy theories. Let's be honest -- they keep things interesting.
-
Uh dude... there is no 'Sage magic,' Sages use common magic (the normal magic of the board) unless they've obtained higher types.. But yeah...
-
Uh . . . (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8E_zMLCRNg) okay?
-
So your entire paragraph of Plasmagiks involving Sages and 'Sage Magic' would be wrong.
-
I wasn't aware that an intellectual concept could be "wrong", but there's a first time for everything I suppose. I would ask for an explanation since I don't know how stuff works 'round here, but . . . (I don't know how to finish this sentence). #DontJudgeMe
-
It's wrong if it does not fit into the story of another race that you mentioned. You can't say "Sage Magic," if Sages don't have any magic different than regular magic.
Also you mention Origins several times, but if I recall in the past, your Origins/Orijins whatever were never approved.
-
Oh. You're saying that "Sage magic" doesn't exist at all. That their magic is just magic, not Sage magic. I messed up by putting Sage in front of magic. Ya see what we can overcome when we work together as a team? Tell you what: I'll fix that part soon as I get back, and if you feel like giving it a second look-over sometime later, feel free to, then let me know if it works. I'd do it now but I'm seriously about to leave. Legit -- ride should be here soon.

Issues:
Physical appearence. So they have forms but they don't...? You're just saying they're floating robes with tails...? That's kinda weird. For them to "not have a form" they would be kinda like ghosts(nonsolids). So.... I dunno...
And lifespan. One billion years gaiz. That's a little long, no? 2/3 of that is more or less along the lines of 33,000,000 years. Thirty three million years(rounded) is still a little much. :/

Yeah, that was the first thing that i was uneasy about. Not very many characters for that matter have lived past a few thousand years unless they are of a higher being. I.e, Embodiments, Judges, ect. Lifetimes in the millions of years is a little too much. Races who have lifespans of even 100,000 years is stretching it (Save for the before mentioned examples.) Thats just my 2 cents in it.
-
I'm sorry. Brain derped with math. 66,000,000 years is too long |D
-
The Aralangs were supposedly billions of years old (thus I guess the dimension is a few billion years old). Approved.
-
Jeez. If it really bothers everyone that much, I'll neuter the life-span a bit.

Says he'll do it->doesn't
-
Like I said, the lifespan doesn't bother me. Approved.
-

My bad. I didn't mean EVERYBODY in the exact sense, just the two that didn't like the idea -- Prince Kane and Ember Bright.
-

Actually it was only the Elites with lifespans if I remember right, the two leaders having lived 13billion years.
From what I remember him saying that was the length of the time the race had been around, not each individual except the leaders.
-
If I recall right, technically speaking anyone with magic is immortal as long as they aren't stabbed/blasted/otherwise murderfied to death, so honestly average ages is a VERY moot point to say 'too long!' 'too little!' about. Approved.
