Anti-Human/The Anti

Anti-Human/The Anti

“A man is great not because he hasn’t failed; a man is great because failure hasn’t stopped him” - Confucius

The Anti, or Anti-Humans are a gathering of humanoids who have found themselves locked away in Purgatory, either by some great divine punishment, or due to a failed experiment with universal travel. There are said to be only less than a thousand of them that have been named at this current time.

Physical Description

The Anti come in all shapes and forms, from beasts, to humans, to virtually all kinds. What they all have in common is that they are humanoid and bear sentience. However, older and more ancient Anti, called the Elders, often bear black eyes with glowing white pupils, as well as grey, desaturated blood.

History

The most common method an Anti is made is often due to an inter-universal or dimensional travel experiment gone horribly wrong, resulting in them becoming lost and trapped in the space between reality, Purgatory. A rare few Anti manage to make it out, while others are trapped from eternity. Purgatory is an endless expanse that stretches throughout infinity itself, scattered with relics, structures, creatures, and landmarks that can be found in other universes and realities. Purgatory is split into three main sections: The Land, The Ocean, and The Sky, which are each called The Void, The Abyss, and The Null respectively. The only other known intelligent life that is found within Purgatory other than the Anti are known as the Zero. Precursors from the beginning of time itself who bear glowing white, ghostly bodies, which often choose to support and assist the Anti in their unfortunate circumstance.

Society

Anti’s hardly and rarely have any sort of order or government. But a few rare communities and even small cities can be found within Purgatory made completely of Anti’s. These communities most commonly have a socialistic and equal-treating government or ruling that is to make sure that everyone gets what they need and earn, but there are exceptions. These communities are often led by old and experienced Anti, called The Elders, who maintain order and equality, but also bearing great strength and harshness against those who overstep their boundaries.

Names

The Anti take the names that they were given before they were transported into Purgatory. However, many Anti choose to shorten their names, or change them entirely, often with some sort of adjective to define them. Male: Lex, Fezid, Shoren, Pockum the Strong, Pedro the Combative, Bufficius the Great. Female: Sara, Mileena, Kora, Mulan the Nimble, Mindy the Hungry, Femina the Flawless.

Anti Traits

Anti Variants

Usually, each Anti has a variational ability they gain upon entry of Purgatory. It is completely random and is granted to only about half of the Anti that find themselves in Purgatory. Roll a d20 to see if you get a Variant trait. If the roll is 11 or higher, you get a random trait by the roll of a d4, if you roll a 10 or lower, you do not get a Variant trait.

1d4	Trait	Effect
1	Indefectible	You gain resistance to psychic, necrotic, and radiant damage.
2	Unstable	As many times per long rest as your proficiency modifier, you can blink to another area within your walking speed on your turn as a free action. This can only be done once per turn.
3	Inviolable	You do not need to eat, drink, or breathe. Additionally, you are immune to disease, and resistant to poison damage.
4	Imperishable	Upon losing a limb, it will slowly regenerate over the span of the next 18 hours, or upon completing a long rest. This also includes organs, blood, and the brain, which makes the Anti unable to die.
