Arkadius (3.5e Race)

Arkadius

Born on a hellish plane of fire and volcanic rock where they carve out a simplistic living to pass the eons of their life they resort to fighting and over the centuries the race developed a natural hatred of other living creatures, creating heartless killing machines.

Personality

Cold, heartless, and tactical with a racial craving to murder those around them, these beings are the ultimate killing machine. They kill anything that so much as looks in their direction. Though on a rare occasion an Arkadius will spare a creatures life if it deemed it to pathetic to even deserve death.

Physical Description

Between 6-7ft tall humanoids weighing in between 150-200 lbs with luminescent red markings, resembling jagged cracks and swirls, running all across their body. Their arms and legs have fused with the volcanic rock of their plane creating a jagged natural armor and claws. Normally with white or grey hair and red smoldering eyes. They appear to have a build closer to that of an elf regardless of how large their strength is.
