SUB RACE TEMPLATE

Name of the Race: Jamnā (Gel in Hindi)

Summary:

How long have they existed?: The Jamnā have existed since 2414, Dotte being the first one in existence.

Sub Race of: Demon
Secondary Sub Race: N/A

How to become one: Aside from being born one through natural procreation, if a Jamnā's dna are injected into a willing participant, they can undergo the change into one. The participant has no limitations of race and the process is fairly painless, only inciting aches akin to growing pains. The process of change usually takes about 4 to 5 days. This can be done naturally (With a Jamnā's direct participation) or unnaturally (Utilizing stored Jamnā dna). The amount of dna needed is not much, and can be all delivered in a single syringe.

Associated Organisation: N/A

Orientations: The Jamnā are neutral at their very core. A being that can't feel extreme emotions one way or the other. This results in them not siding or going against any one race. The Jamnā only judge things based on its point of view and logic, assessing threats or benefits of the people it encounters. This can lead to the Jamnā seeing them as a comrade and a helpful entity or something that stands in there way that needs to be eliminated. One way to put this is a Jamnā has no loyalty to any race, not even there own, but sides with those who are of use to it and its own goals. If a Jamnā was to be seen taking up arms to fight on the behalf of any race it is likely the Jamnā is doing so really on the behalf of someone of that race they're allied with, not for the race itself.

Aesthetics: A Jamnā’s body looks and feels abnormally smooth, with otherwise no differences.

Additional Information:

Strange Body
A Jamnā's body is made up of strange cells, partly resembling weird stem cells, which give their body various characteristics that differ from other beings. These cells are naturally hardy, especially against blunt force, making them more difficult to damage effectively. Due to a Jamnā's body being deeply connected to their mind and za koa, they rely less on physical body and more on their energy to survive. As a result, a Jamnā can survive wounds that would otherwise be fatal, even major blood loss, as their energy would keep them alive long enough for their cells to start healing, as due to being somewhat alike stem cells, they have greater regenerative properties than normal. However this is not absolute, as after repetitive or severe damage, a Jamnā's body, and with it their energy, would become fatigued and eventually die. This connection to their energy also replaces some of their bodily functions, such as the need to breathe and eat.
Also due to a Jamnā's cell makeup, they naturally posses mild transformative abilities, enabling them to freely change their appearance and bodily makeup. A Jamnā has no set gender, as they can change it, though it is very much likely that a Jamnā will have a preferred gender, and identify as that gender.


Emotional Hinderance
The Jamnā are in ways emotionally stunted. Though, this isn’t to say that they feel emotions less than others, no, in some situations it can be quite a different story. It is very often that Jamnā have “quirks” of varying degrees. These quirks can be very different in nature from being to being, but all in some way affect the subject’s emotions. One may not be able to feel emotions very well, and therefore be quite standoffish, while another case may be quite the opposite, a Jamnā not knowing how to control or understand their emotions quite well, and who often intrudes on a person’s boundaries and space. These quirks can be at either end of the scale of introvertedness and extrovertedness, and anywhere in between, though it is extremely rare for a Jamnā to develop a manic personality, as they are most always quite clear minded. There is one way in which all Jamnās emotional stunting affects them the same, they are all unable to feel extreme emotions. A Jamnā may feel angry, even intensely so, but none are capable of true loathing. A Jamnā may still, in rare circumstances, fall in love with someone, but in most cases they would just feel a strong affinity for that person. They may also feel strong affinities for things or ideals, but they are not capable of fanaticism.

Additional Racial Powers:

A Direct Bond with Za Koa
A Jamnā’s powers are directly linked to, and derived from, their Za Koa. Their powers are derived from a deep connection with their mind and inner self, and, as a result, their presence is different from other entities. They lack the “spiritual” signatures that other races have, though, with skill, they can still be detected. They still give off a presence that differs from their surroundings, an oddity, and what this presence can feel like varies depending on the individual Jamnā’s personality. In fact, many aspects of a Jamnā derive in various ways from their personality due to their direct connection with their Za Koa. How strong a Jamnā is can be gauged from how strongly their presence feels and affects their surroundings.
A Jamnā’s mind is intricately connected with their body, and they draw power straight from their center of mind, their Za Koa. This also results in them most commonly developing kinetic abilities, or other abilities akin to varying forms of kinesis. Though, with the Jamnā drawing power directly from their minds instead of demonic energies such as other demons, the Jamnā have lost the ability to naturally draw power from a presence of hell, and the ability to meld into shadows.
Another result of the direct link between a Jamnā’s mind and powers is that their personality directly influences their powers. Two Jamnā with exceedingly similar abilities may have differences in their power’s functions due to differing personalities. A Jamnā’s powers can even change as their personality evolves or changes in various ways, and can also behave differently depending on the Jamnā’s current emotions and mood. A Jamnā’s personality can also manifest into more than one ability, including those of different elements or mechanics, though their abilities, being linked to their personality, would have to have something to do with each other, being at least mildly linked together.

Manifestation of Za Koa
Since a Jamnā’s powers draw so directly from their Za Koa, a Jamnā may also pull energy directly from their Za Koa within them. One may take this energy, manifest it physically, and manipulate it. It can be shaped freely by the user in various ways, such as being hardened into weaponry or constructs or fired as solid or not quite solid bolts and rays. A Jamnā good at manifesting their Za Koa can pretty much form this energy into whatever form they want, and a Jamnā especially good at manifesting this energy could also manifest it away from their body and mentally control it. A Jamnā’s Za Koa is also influenced by their personality. Each Jamnā’s Za Koa energy is influenced in some way by their powers, and a Jamnā’s Za Koa’s color is also determined by the Jamnā’s personality.

Acceleration
Even with the loss of the ability to move through shadows, Jamnā don’t lack in the department of movement. Since a Jamnā’s mind is so intricately linked throughout their body, with enough concentration, they have the capability to will their body into an accelerated state. This sends their molecules into overdrive on a massive scale, granting them a potentially massive speed boost. A Jamnā may use this technique for a short burst of extreme speed, or use it to gain a less extreme speed boost for a length of time. A Jamnā skilled in acceleration may even use it for small bursts of movement, such as to sidestep or dodge an attack or get around an opponent. At high levels of acceleration, the body and mind can be pushed so close as to achieve temporary fusion, enabling an ability not unlike teleportation as the body temporarily leaves its physical state.
