Veiled Ones
With no land to truly call their own, Veiled Ones are a young hybrid race formed by the Demon's Plague. Pregnant women who fell ill bore children with tails, charcoal skin, horns, and glowing eyes of unnatural hue. These demon children and their mothers were cast out, but many survived to have children of their own. Thus, the Veiled Ones were born.
Cynical and suspicious, these folk distrust any and all outsiders. The feeling is very mutual.
Basic Information
Anatomy
While mostly humanoid in structure, veiled ones differ from humans in many key aspects. Their skin ranges from charcoal grey to a deep purple or red, their eyes glow in a range of unrecognizable hues, and their heads are crowned with long, curved horns. Pointed tails are also an indicator of the species.
Genetics and Reproduction
The first generation of veiled ones originated from human women infected with the demon plague, and they can still come about this way. However, they are not sterile and Veiled genes are highly dominant.
Growth Rate & Stages
Veiled ones mature about one-third slower than humans, with an approximate 90-year lifespan. They reach maturity around age 22 but are often self-sufficient by 16.
Ecology and Habitats
Veiled ones prefer hotter climates, but can survive anywhere humans can.
Additional Information
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Veiled ones have sensory capabilities much like humans, with slightly better eyesight. Their instincts are also superhuman to some degree, with an innate ability to sense demonic energies.
