Race introductions – Written by Luciliano
Kijin
A race born to Vida and Zantark, who fused with evil Gods The Majin are like a twin race to the Kijin; they share some features such as their horns
In huht that Kijin are a forre, but they are a different race entirely
Their base Rank is 4
Kijin can be largely divided into two types However, unlike the Majin race and Arachne, they cannot be categorized immediately after birth As their Rank increases after their birth, they branch into either Gouki, who have exceptional physical abilities, or Youki, who are skilled in the use of ic Only their fields of expertise are different; their biology is essentially identical
TLN: Gouki translates to so like “powerful de Demon”
Gouki stand two hts nearing three meters Their entire bodies are covered in steel-like muscles
Their physical abilities are excellent as their appearance suggests, and they train themselves in advanced combat techniques
Youki are far thinner than Gouki, and those who can be considered tall a Youki are indeed tall froht reaches a maximum of a little over two meters
They are skilled in the use ofic They are certainly not weak physically, but they are inferior to Gouki in this regard
To give examples, Gidou Tenma is a Youki
Apparently, on very rare occasions, a Kijin with both the physical strength and talent for ic possessed by the Kijin ancestor is born The Kijin refer to such individuals as Chouki, demons who surpass demons
Kijin skin color varies greatly; many are red, black or blue, but there are some that are white or purple At three hundred years, their lifespans are short, but there are records of long-living individuals who lived to be five hundred years old They are not immortal; it seems that there are some differences between individuals
They generally reproduce at the sanized as adults at the age of twenty
Their personalities are si Many of them admire the Majin as their brethren
In roth is the most important factor rather than physical attractiveness or fortune Wowomen
As the Kijin nation ht any hue, every citizen is expected to be highly capable in combat
As a result, it is inized as a citizen to date soth alone often move to other nations, and such individuals actually quickly find a e partner in their new hoet married
In fact, the competition is often harder in the Kijin nation, where only those with strength beyond a certain standard remain
There is noas all parties are happy, one husband can have multiple wives, one wife can haveindividuals desire those who are about as strong as theer than thele-wife couples
There is a ritual for transfor members of races not created by Vida into Kijin; they feast in the co but special hts, and on the row horns and are reborn as Kijin
Apparently, the alcohol,are all part of the ritual Thus, there is no use in stealing only the alcohol and meat offered at the feast
Jobs such as Ogre Tare-type monsters, are known to be unique to the Kijin race However, Ogres are demi-human monsters and can be tamed by tamers other than Kijin, so it may be difficult to call it a racial Job, especially when compared to the Arachne and Empusa who can tame specific types of insects and Majin who can tame Demons
However, Ogres that are tamed by Kijin are apparently more obedient
It does not need to be said, but they are highly suited for beco adventurers Even an ordinary Kijin would have the combat skills of perhaps a C-class adventurer
Coe-build Arachne, has acquired the race title of Ushi+oni, but… can one assume that she has become closer to a Kijin?
TLN: The “oni” of “Ushi+oni” is the same kanji as the “ki” of “Kijin”
I ent in my observations
Centaurs
A half-human, half-horse race born between Vida, the Goddess of life and love, and the horse beast-king who fused with an evil God One could describe them as horse-type Beast-people
They have lifespans of around two hundred years, and theybirth to twins only in extremely rare cases Centaur children are not immediately able to stand the moment they are born, unlike wild horses, but theyadults in around ten years
Their base Rank is 3, and there is only one type of Centaur However, there are large variations in their physiques Soe and powerful; others are slender and swift and others still are sht
They are exceptionally mobile, and have qualities for multiple disciplines of combat, such as archery, spears or axes Many of them possess an affinity for the wind and earth attributes
They becohts if equipped with armor, and they would likely be effective raiders on the battlefield with swift htly equipped However, as adventurers, they may be a little limited in tere lower bodies
Theyinside towns, especially as scouts
They originally preferred living in open plains, but inside the Boundary Mountain Range, they have built their kingdoeon
As for their personalities, es when they drink; there are those who cry, those who becoh when they are drunk
Their behavior towards the opposite sex becomes particularly uninhibited; no matter how serious Centaurs are while sober, they all becoirls when they are drunk
Thus, onea feast hosted by Centaurs They are nor habits, but at feasts, they drink without reserve
Perhaps because of this, drinking alcohol is banned at wedding feasts in the Centaur nation It seems that there were various problems with this in the past
Also, in their culture, allowing n of deep trust, friendshi+p and love It can be assu someone to straddle them exposes their defenseless back
Unfortunately, the ritual to transform me of the horse beast-king is required, but the horse beast-king was sealed away by Alda's forces
Incidentally, it is ru in environ horns and split hooves like oats, but it seee
Harpies
A race of women with feathers and talons born to Vida, the Goddess of life and love, and the bird beast-king who fused with an evil God They have lifespans of approxi , and mature in approximately ten years
There are ordinary-type Harpies that can fly, land-type Harpies that cannot fly but cover land very quickly, and hunter-type Harpies that excel in combat Ordinary-type and land-type Harpies have a base Rank of 3, and hunter-type Harpies have a base Rank of 4
Many Harpies possess qualities suited for the wind attribute; there are those who unleash spells fro-like incantations, while others use their talons to swoop down on their prey
Hunter-type Harpies are considered warriors in Harpy society; they can be called combat professionals
Like Centaurs, the environments that they can work in as adventurers are liic or riding tamed monsters would find it difficult to endure the attacks of Harpies from the sky above
Many Harpies have bright personalities, and their appearance reed after they mature, they are often youthful on the inside as well
They are a race who take many lovers, and many of them find a new partner for each child they raise
Incidentally, those who are good at looking after eggs, singing and dancing are popular Master receives a passing grade in the first category, but it seems that he is disqualified in the other two
Like the Centaurs, the ritual for transfor members of races not created by Vida has apparently been lost
Lamia
A race of half-human, half-snake women born to Vida, the Goddess of life and love, and Jubadi, the evil God of venom and scales
They have lifespans of approxih they usually lay one egg at a ti After birth, the snake portion of their bodies continuously sheds up until e of about twenty
Their base Rank is 3 and they are well-versed in all kinds of h Vitality, so as adventurers, they would likely foruards
Features such as the color of their scales can vary as much as their Skills; they are so diverse that it is difficult to believe that those with venoenerative abilities and those with armor-like scales are all members of the same race
At first glance, they appear to be beautiful, cheerful wo, but apparently, they beco to be separate from those they love
These qualities are exaggerated in human society; there are many stories such as one where a Lamia kills the man she loves when he tries to escape from her, and another where a Lamia kills the fiancé of the man she has a one-sided love for In the Boundary Mountain Range… Though Lamia do not murder for love, they apparently use extreme methods to win over men they love, even if the men already have other women in their lives
It seems that the most common method they use is to win over the man's fiancé to approach him two-on-one
Incidentally, as a race, they are weak drinkers When they drink, they quickly become intoxicated and fall asleep
One ht think that they are also weak to the cold because they possess the lower bodies of snakes, but surprisingly, they experience no probleht that this is because the father of the race was not the snake beast-king, but an evil God that resembles snakes
It seems that in the Laendary La to become bushi+ and ninja in other nations, Lamia strive to become Yamatno-Orochi
Though from what I have heard from Master, the Yamatno-Orochi is not a Lamia…
Drakonids
A race born between Vida, the Goddess of life and love, and Tiaon-emperor God Marduke As neither parent of the race is an evil God, Drakonids do not have a monster Rank
However, as they have horns, wings and scales, this fact is not well-known In the past, they were treated the sainated from monsters
Their lifespans vary greatly from individual to individual; they live a minimum of two hundred years and it is said that there was one who lived to be a thousand years old They lay one egg at a tith of time to mature Most mature in approximately fifteen to twenty years, but there have apparently been Drakonids who had the appearance of children for over a hundred years
As one would expect froon, Drakonids are tremendously powerful, and it is said that a hundred hule Drakonid warrior In fact, there is no small number of Drakonid adventurers who have reached B-class or above Of course, this does notso, however
Many Drakonids have judicious, calm personalities… supposedly From what I have heard of the Drakonid nation fro that this may not be the case
I was curious so I decided to investigate by speaking to Rowen, a swordsman from the Drakonid nation Her response was, “That is probably because us Drakonids are always exercising restraint”
Drakonids have a weakness for delicious food and drink; with alcohol in particular, once they start drinking, they continue drinking until they lose consciousness They are apparently also lustful and prone to falling in love easily, quickly turning their eyes towards members of the opposite sex
That is why they learn how to exercise self-control from childhood so that they do not ruin themselves with alcohol and lust
Now that I think about it, if I recall correctly, there are ons ere punished after their lust and thirst for alcohol caused troubles for the dragon-ereat Gods It seems that this trait has been inherited by the Drakonids
Merfolk
A half-human, half-fish race born to Vida, the Goddess of life and love, and the God of seas Tristan, as a subordinate God of Peria, the Goddess of water and knowledge
They are one of Vida's races that did not originate from monsters and do not possess Ranks, like the titans and Dark Elves Like Drakonids, they are often inate from a monster
But because their appearances and lifestyle are so different fro persecuted… However, as they live in a completely different environment from humans, they have apparently not suffered much real harm
This is because Merfolk can inhabit not only shalloaters but deep oceans that humans cannot venture into and seas that are very far from land, so humans cannot pursue them by boat
They were once believed to be iemstones, but these are all superstitions
They have lifespans of approximately two hundred years, and they take approximately fifteen years to reach adulthood After that, they stop physically aging at a certain point and spend the rest of their lives with that appearance
There are reatly However, they are apparently instinctively attracted to shi+ning objects in the sea
Also, as a race, they have beautiful voices
There are large individual differences in their fish-like traits; it is rare, but there are apparently angler-fish-type Merfolk… Master was apparently ans for illumination in the sea
As adventurers, their lower bodies impose limits on the environments they can work in, but it would be difficult to survive a battle against hostile Merfolk in the ocean
However, it is apparently possible for the a specialeneration
