Tri Cyclops
The Tri Cyclops are the only known sentient species with three eyes and an elongated cranium, giving them a striking and unmistakable silhouette. Many assume they are naturally gifted intellectuals, but the truth is more balanced—they have average intelligence like any other species. What sets them apart is their innate psychic potential, which contributes to their larger heads.
They are often more perceptive than wise, and their unique vision grants them incredible spatial awareness. If you ever find yourself speaking with a Tri Cyclops, a good tip is to look at their center eye—it helps avoid awkwardness and shows respect in their culture.

Basic Information
Anatomy
Tri Cyclops are medium-sized, bipedal beings with ten fingers, ten toes, two arms, and two legs. Their heads are elongated to support a third eye, which sits centrally on the forehead, above the two standard eyes. All three eyes have round pupils and irises. They also have two rounded ears, a nose, and a mouth. Hair is variable by region, with some sporting dense coverage while others have minimal body hair. Males can grow facial hair.
Natural Magic
Tri Cyclops have natural resistance to Will Magic and vulnerability to Spirit Magic. About 90% of them use Will-aligned abilities, often involving mental fortitude, focus, or psychic force.Biological Traits

Genetics and Reproduction
Tri Cyclops reproduce through male-female pairing. After a 1-year gestation, a child is born. Fertility usually ends by age 180.
Growth Rate & Stages
- Humans are considered infants between the ages of zero to 6, during which time they were completely dependent on their parents for food and care. They gradually pick up mobility and world awareness.
- The next stage is kids who learn, play, and grow between the ages of 6 to 16. Although kids are not as dependent on their parents at this point, they are still present to meet the majority of their needs. However, young kids are inquisitive and beginning to understand others and themselves. People have a saying that a young child always hears and retains.
- Between the ages of 16 to 25, their bodies begin to evolve and develop into adults, which is referred to as the teenage years. Their physical body begins to gain figure, height, weight, and muscles. In most situations, this is also where natural magic develops. In most circumstances, they will also begin to establish their identity and become less reliant on their parents.
- From the ages of 26 to 179 they are in their adulthood, their bodies have matured, and they have a good sense of what their natural magic will do. It will continue to develop as they age, but in most cases, it has a set of talents.
- From 180 to roughly 260 years of age, they are elders; their bodies have gradually begun to slow down and become weaker, as have their magical talents if they are not kept up with. Other people regard them as wise because they have lived a lengthy life for a human. This is the human life cycle.
Ecology and Habitats
Tri Cyclops prefer warmer climates and low-altitude regions, as their physiology does poorly in colder, high-altitude areas. The pressure and chill can cause severe illness or discomfort. However, they can adapt to most environments using magic and technology.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Tri Cyclops are omnivores, requiring a mix of meat, grains, fruits, and vegetables. Their diets are similar to humans, though many prefer warm meals and lightly spiced dishes that soothe their psychic tension.
Additional Information
Average Intelligence
While not the geniuses many believe them to be, Tri Cyclops are observant and perceptive. Their intelligence is rooted in awareness and foresight rather than innovation. They tend to approach problems carefully and are often cautious decision-makers. Psychic talents can sometimes amplify mental focus, but emotional expression may be more muted due to cultural norms.
