When death calls, some alchemists consider their experiments too important to be stalled, so they become blood alchemists by drinking an elixir of immortality created through vile means. A blood alchemist's body is swollen with alchemic fluids, while its own blood has turned to acid. By carefully mixing these chemicals inside their bodies, they can create many concoctions with varied effects. Blood alchemists improve their bodies with a variety of bizarre implements, such as syringe claws and darkened lenses over their eyes to protect them from bright light. They have thin sheets of metal under their skin for protection. Typically, the essentials of such modifications are made before becoming a blood alchemist, though the most extensive changes can only be done as an undead. Undying Elixir. Each blood alchemist is animated by a necromantic concoction made from the blood of many different sentient beings refined through a variety of arcane processes until all that remains is a solid crystal no larger than an adult human's fist. Once the crystal is dissolved into a mixture of acid and rare alchemic components, the elixir is complete and will transform the one who drinks it into an undead. A blood alchemist must consume this mixture at least once per month to maintain its undead existence. When that time draws near, the alchemist becomes erratic. In this state, the alchemist can only think of creating the elixir and will do whatever it takes to do so. Undead Nature. A blood alchemist doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.
