Race description: The ancient ones were the heralds of the corrupted God, with the existance of only spending an eternity cursed under his command. They are rarely seen since the few who are chosen are the ones ''That have found their way here, because they are among the few gifted with true vision in a world cursed with blindness. They can see through the fog that hangs over this world like a shroud, and grasp where true power lies.''
The Ancient Ones are a race of unknown beings, who are rarely seen by any human being. They are driven by the purpose of spreading the word of the Corrupted God, letting the races of the Galaxy know who their real Master is. The form of the Ancient one would appear in many ways, even to be a duplicate copy of another being, due to their trickery powers, granted to them by the Corrupted God. Their origin is unknown, since any precise herlad was picked by the Corrupted God, no matter where he or she lived. The life they had before is meaningless and the only purpose they had now is to teach the Galaxy of their founder and the one's wrath they should feel.
Certain members of this ''race'' are known to appear at precise location's or planets as observes and prophets. Although found insane by other beings in their humanoid illusion, the Ancient Ones hold great power in their true form, that was granted to them upon slow and painfull body corruption that destroys them from the inside. In the end leaving nothing but bones. But the Corrupted God's handpicked herlads are granted the way of immortality.
Appereance and personality:
Upon destroying their mortal body, the remains are reanimated into a skeletal core, with their basic anatomy, with no flesh but skeleton only. The legs have been removed from the body, as they are no longer needed. Instead replaced with an icy core, that allows them to hover over the ground and keep any clothing over them through levitation. Upon hovering it is noticable they leave trail of cold mist.
Personallity-wise they are also set to diffrent traits. Ones may be influenced by their past life as brutal and hatefull beings, willing to destroy anything. Others may find amusement and joy in everything, considering they have powers beyong the imagination of ordinary beings. Seeing an Ancient One in its formal appereance is a very rare oppertunity and may cost someone his life.
Anatomy:
Racially from their past every Ancient One remains with his/hers previous anatomy in a skeletal form. The upper limbs are extended, with the end of the fingertips widdened and sharpened, into cold claws, that are able to levitate objects with ease, or even serve as a weapon when needed. The upper torso has widdened ribs, that at put together by a cold un-interrupted aura, and held very strong even to major damage. The crystalized core is protected by a barrier of hard crystlized and fused metal, underneath which remains the actual core itself. The skull has been deformed now with two sharpened tusks growing to both left and right(With females) and four large tusks in total. Two of them are growing forward from the lower part of the skull, and two more onto the forhead, growing to the left and right on both sides(For males). A pair of glowing red or blue flame dances inside of the Skull's eye holes, serving as eyes.
Powers:
The powers of the Ancient Ones are often described by enviromental manipulation. While very vulrnable to any actual flame or fire, that could do serious damage on their core, they are simmilery protected by a barrier of hard crystlalized ice covering every bone, and thus serving as a great overall alloy. Power-wise they can freeze objects within a minute to a maximum, into ice scluptures, upon direct and non-interrupted channeling.
10 seconds - Medium movement slowdown on the target.
20 seconds - Major movement slowdown.
30 seconds - Breathing becomes harder.
40 seconds - Every step is hardly executable.
50 seconds - The target cannot move.
60 seconds - Crystalized inside an ice block.
Other then the enviromental twist, they preserve great force manipulation powers, granted to them by the Corrupted God. Thus allowing them to change appereance, and toy with the mind of beings, as if they were play objects. The mental focus allows them to create multiple copies of themseles in diffrent areas, and observe situations on diffrent locations, without taking any action, otherwise the copy of the Ancient one would fade(Any hostile actions like the Copy attacking would cause it to vanish). During process of Mind Illusions they can cause several horrific shades or images appear into the Target's mind and destroy them from the inside, causing everything to look like pure reality. Phyisicly wise the Ancient Ones are weak, since their claws dissalow them from having any other weapon then their mind. If taken into their humanoid form it depends on the person's abillity to fight physicly.
