Ancient Relorians: A race who's physical shape is dictated by their spirits, the Ancient Relorians were a powerful race of mages that nearly died off over a millennium and a half prior to the Aralang arrival in the current universe. They traveled through many universes, acting mostly as observers and scholars before their betrayal. The Starclanners, who were then known as the Suvian, betrayed the Relorians in fantastic fashion, earning the brand Kuo. Their legs have two knees, as their arms have two elbows. The upper joint bends in the same direction as the human equivalent, while the second is a reverse-joint. Because of their unique leg structure, they can reach bipedal land speeds of up to 30 miles an hour, while if they holster their weapons and walk on all fours, they can reach upwards of 50 mph. They've no ears. Instead, they have scaled appendages looking like dreadlocks extending out the back from their scalps which are covered in adaptive hearing cells. Their skill in magic was great, the race bearing hundreds of powerful leaders using level 6 magic. Their magic, unlike modern Relorians, did not depend on the four spheres of Arcana, Diviae, Shamai, and Psiona.
The Suvian Betrayal happened well over ten millenia previous to the events of this board. The Suvian leaders were invited to join the Relorians in celebration of the Diviaen holy day, a day of peace, prayer, and introspection. The Suvian guests broke the Relorians' trust when they snuck in weapons and assassinated thousands of Relorians as they prayed. After a long history of peace, alliance, and even friendship between the two empires, the Suvian declared war, often resorting to dishonorable tactics to try and gain an edge. The war waged on for centuries, ever at a standstill until the Suvian created their first technological AM fields. The Relorians, a wholly magic empire, found themselves defenseless for quite the long time, before finally submitting to the necessity of survival. They reluctantly began work in studying technology, creating their own technological ships and AM jamming devices. With these new, albeit hated, inventions, the Relorians once again stood at a standstill against the Suvian for over a century longer, when both sides decided to halt their war, both ravaged by the attacks of the other.
Where there once was peace and joyful friendship, there now spread distrust and hate. Suvians were often the targets of aggravated assaults, even the occasional murder in revenge for loved ones fallen in the war. These feelings lingered even into the last days of the Ancient Relorian empire.
Iroku Using Koraiten's spirit energy and the gravity well of the partially-formed black hole over Lesh as fuel, with the hole's time dilation field used as a catalyst to speed the metamorphosis, Iroku has altered his body to return to that of his heritage. Bodily, he is now one of the Ancient Relorians. He is still tied to the Shamai sphere, and his magic level has not been altered, but he is now capable of spells he was previously unable to perform due to his body's structure.
There. Edited. Is it all well and good now, so I can get back to RPing?
