While demihuman abilities can cover a massive spectrum, certain tribes have particular features. Longlegs have, as the name says, very long legs, which are usually very well-toned and muscular. Longarms have incredibly long arms, bearing two elbows, which are often rather thin and lithe, but can be trained to have thick muscles. Snakenecks have long, serpentine necks with addition vertebrae and strong muscles, allowing them to hold their heads upright, or to move their necks like their namesake serpents, while they also tend towards being rather tall and narrow. Kuja are inherently attractive to those with male genetics, regardless of either the male's or the Kuja's sexual preference, and are inherently female when born on Amazon Lily. Males born to Kuja are not considered to be truly Kuja, and are deemed as halfbloods, while females are always considered full Kuja, regardless of the father's race. Finally, the Three-Eyed Tribe has a very unique ability, with their third eye giving them an "enlightened" nature that allows them to hear "The Voice of All Things". Unfortunately, this power is greatly diminished in hybrids, often to complete nonexistence, rendering them merely a three-eyed member of their other parent race.

Demihumans encompass numerous human-like nonhuman species, including the Longarm Tribe, the Longleg Tribe, the Snakeneck Tribe, the Three-Eyed Tribe, and the Kuja Tribe. In addition, most hybrids fall under the demihuman umbrella. The primary exceptions are Wotans, which fall under Seafolk.

Varies. Many demihumans are highly valued as slaves.

Demihuman abilities are mostly determined by their specific subrace, or their parentage if hybrid.

[attr="class","temTitle"]Seafolk (Fishmen, Merfolk)

[attr="class","temTitle"]General Information

[attr="class","temWrap"]


[break]


Able to breath underwater, Fishmen have superhuman strength, Merfolk have superhuman speed in water.

[break][break]


Varies depending on the species of fish, but Merfolk appear almost entirely human from the waist up, occasionally with the exception of their mouth, whereas Fishmen are humanoid with features of the fish throughout the entire body.

[break][break]


Humans, especially slavers.

[break][break]


The Seafolk, for much of recorded history, have kept almost entirely to themselves under the waves, distancing themselves from "Surface" culture. The reason for this is that, the few times that the Seafolk have attempted to mingle with the Surface dwellers, especially the humans of the World Government, they were seen as a novel commodity rather than as people, and many were captured and sold as pets, toys, or, in rare and horrid occasions, even as delicacies. Because of these atrocities, the rulers of Fishman Island, the Ryugu Kingdom, declared that the island will remain isolated, and only permit travelers for a span of no more than three days.

[break][break]


The Seafolk have a unique culture among the humanoid races of the world, sustained by their aquatic breathing. The island is divided into various districts, many reachable only via their "Aqua Roads". Because of their history, Seafolk tend to be very distant, often reacting with disgust, fear, or hatred to Surface humanoids. Among their kind, they are incredibly sociable, but they unconsciously end up reinforcing their prejudices upon the younger generation, leading to a cycle of hatred. Some Seafolk, however, manage to befriend certain Surface-dwellers, and will generally have a better opinion on them compared to others.

Both can breathe underwater without using a racial slot, Fishmen get super strength without a racial slot, Merfolk get super speed without a racial slot, though it only applies when in the water.

[attr="class","temTitle"]Mink

[attr="class","temTitle"]General Information

[attr="class","temWrap"]


[break]


Wildly variable, as they depend on the animal nature of the individual, though a great many have sharp claws and fangs to defend themselves. In addition, all Mink have very strong senses, many times those of normal Humans, significant levels of durability, strength, and agility, and an inherent skill in stealth and stalking. In addition, Mink, as well as hybrids of them, have an ability called Electro, which amplifies the bioelectric energy of the body into a weaponized form, and channels mostly through fur and hair, though it can be channeled without it, and this power gives them a modicum of resistance against electrical attacks, though something as strong as a direct unfiltered power current or a strike of lightning will still cause significant damage.
[break][break]
The most powerful ability of the Mink bloodlines, known as Su Long, has three distinct forms between the subraces. For regular Mink, this takes the form of a "combat state" that whitens the hair and fur, causes their hair and tail to grow out substantially, and tones and defines the body into a more "perfected" form. The final step is the sclera of the eyes turning black, and the irises a bright burning red. In this form, a single Mink with even moderate training can demolish a fleet of ships singlehandedly. For Centaurs, they take a form wherein another pair of legs form roughly midway down their animal torso, and another pair of arms form below their normal arms, while their hair and tail grow as the regular Mink's does. Finally, the Su Long of the Yeti is a thing of terror, a form in which the Yeti's massive form and might is compressed into a smaller form, not much bigger than the average human, with much less fur coverage of their bodies, with the remaining fur being very dense and plush. Their physical might is amplified by this compression, giving them strength as if you scaled up a Dwarf, and making their Electro much more potent, but with the cost of burning through an insane amount of energy and almost invariably eating away at least a year of their lifespan. Curiously, it's almost universally noted that a Yeti undergoing Su Long is remarkably attractive, regardless of what they normally look like. However, Su Long isn't by any means something most Mink want to use. Even the most skilled and trained of Mink can only safely maintain it for more than a few minutes, because of the intense strain on their body, and beyond that the body starts to burn itself up from the inside, rupturing and tearing muscles and eventually organs. In addition, it can only naturally be triggered by gazing directly at a full moon (Or some suitable facsimile), meaning it can only be used on very specific days normally.

Mink look much like humans, but with varying levels of animal traits, from merely having the extremities of the creature (Claws, hooves, fangs, horns, tails, antlers, wings) to looking like a bipedal version of the animal. All Mink are derived from mammals. As well, there are two subspecies of Mink, known as Yeti and Centaurs. The Yeti are large, hulking creatures, much larger than standard Mink, covered with a much thicker coat of fur to keep them warm in frigid tundra environments. Centaurs, meanwhile, are often more elongated and balanced, with thinner fur, with their defining trait being a humanoid upper torso sticking from what would be the neck of a quadruped mammal. All Mink, regardless of which variety, can have traits of any mammal, with the exception of Centaurs and primates.

Hunters, slavers, sometimes other Mink tribes

[break][break]


The history of the Mink is a troubled one indeed, full of strife, but also full of wonder. Throughout, humans have tried to capture Mink, finding them as an odd sort, and treating them in much the same way they did to the Sea Folk, usually as slaves or pets. Many Mink, terrified of the humans, simply went along with it, before an uprising occurred roughly three centuries past. In this uprising, a pact was formed with the Eternal Elephant, Zunisha, and their great country of Zou was born. To this day, most of the Mink of Zou are descended from the risen slaves, while the wild tribes live in much smaller, fractured groupings.

[break][break]


The Mink culture varies wildly between tribes, with many of the "wild" Mink living mostly nomadic, with dwellings in tents, huts, or den made of or in the natural environment around them. Most Yeti have a culture akin to old Russian, and speak with a similar accent, while tribal Centaurs live mostly on wide plains and prairies, with a culture much like that of Native American tribes, complete with much larger dwelling tents. The Mink of Zou, having originated from slaves of humans, adapted closer to average human culture, with a large central city and multiple smaller towns, and a governing infrastructure. For the wild Mink, clothing is usually simple woven items, while those of Zou wear items resembling real-world renaissance European attire.

Mink are naturally susceptible to heat due to their fur, Yeti more so and Centaurs less so, are loyal to a fault by nature, and unless conditioned otherwise, are incredibly affectionate. Electro is a native racial trait that does not require a slot, but Su Long does require the use of a slot due to its power.

Shadetail can start with a specialty in either Illusions or Shapeshifting, but cannot start with knowing how to use the Night Daze ability unless they are a Rank V character.

"Night Daze"


[break]


A lithe, slender vulpine-like race, with a rather mischievous appearance. The colored markings on their faces give them the mischievous look. Unlike normal vulpine, they lack tails, walk primarily through bipedal locomotion, and their base color always ranges from dark gray to black, some having bits of brown hues showing through. The reason for their name comes from the way their manes hang on their backs, looking similar to tails often times. The color of these manes varies. The most common colors are reds and oranges, with yellow being fairly common as well. After that is greens and purples, with blues and whites being the rarest colors of all. There are rumors of solid black Shadetails being an even rarer occurrence than white.

[break][break]


Night Hunters, Slavers

[break][break]


Long ago, the Night Hunters believed they wiped the Shadetails out, but in reality they only drove them into hiding. They've found this out as more Shadetails have shown up in recent years; though they're few and far between, usually being a slave to a rich lord.

[break][break]


Shadetails have a very tribal culture, having been cut off from the main world for so long. They have basic tools and building skills, enough to create stable huts with multiple floors. Their society follows a single chieftain, usually a powerful male. This is a change that happened when they were led into hiding by one male Shadetail who'd been gifted with powers from a deity. Aside from the chieftain and his family, all Shadetails share equal rank; those with less being given what they need to survive by those who have plenty.

Can't have Haki, at all. They also can't have Zoan fruits. Why would you want one anyway? They can shapeshift already.

Can choose between having haki and having shapeshifting. You cannot have both. Also, if haki is chosen, then the character could also have a Zoan fruit.
