Thats true, I might revise and alter this! Edit: I made it so they don’t have to be PK’ed.

Anthroparions Artificial Life ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Origins Since the dawn of time, alchemists have sought to create artificial life. Whether it be out of curiosity or a different desire - it's undeniable that the topic has occupied the minds of mad and over-eager alchemists for ages. What was thought to be nigh impossible, was finally procured by a mysterious and anonymous alchemist. The elf had found a method to create what he called “Anthroparions”. At first, they started off as little people - men the size of an average hand. He created them using a method of incubation of a potion-solution. Anthroparions would slowly grow - starting from a sludge-like solution to a small man through far from mundane exercises. As for the potion, he called it a “vivacion potion” - stemming from the word vivacity or vivacious. The recipe is said to include the mixing of blood, skin and other taboo reagents - as well as mixing the potion. After many failed attempts, the alchemist at last produced a lesser Anthroparion. He kept the little man in a small glass jar, dropping it food every morning and every night. He eventually taught it to speak and to write. All was well, until the alchemist decided he was willing to sacrifice much more to create something far greater. He was only amused by the little man for so long. The alchemist, who was quite literally mad by now - acquired the body of one whom had only recently passed beyond living. He took the body, and forced it to undergo a similar process in which the original anthroparion went. Though this time, he realized that he had to sacrifice the tiny man, to create artificial life in the new body. Fear not, as the original anthroparion was merely transferred into a new body. The alchemist had successfully pioneered the greater anthroparion - though it had many oddities. It seemed to possess some irregular abilities and attractions - it also had many side effects and down sides. In recent times, the notes of said alchemist have been rediscovered. Alchemists are beginning to use the craft again and it is becoming bountiful - though no ordinary alchemist has the knowledge to create Anthroparions. Lesser Anthroparions Lesser anthroparions are miniature elves, no larger than the average hand. They typically have the appearance of an elderly being - with grey hair and beards. The tiny men usually have high, shrill voices and odd mannerisms. Their strength is next to nothing and can very well only lift objects that are relative in their size and weight. Due to being created artificially, they have no soul - yet they have functioning organs and blood. One may keep them around for company - to talk with and to generally study. Sometimes they can be used as scribes or writers - maybe even miniature artisans if they wish to be, as they do have a mind of their own. These lesser anthroparions do have some more useful purposes one could say. Some alchemists allow them free, to do different biddings such as spying on others, cleaning and more. The mental state of a lesser anthroparion varies, as they have almost as much mental capacity as the average descendent. They go through mood swings often and sometimes they can be very angry and resentful to their creator if abused. In which case, they will not do anything for their creator. Lesser anthroparions have absolutely no use in combat and are generally used for non-combat encounters. They start off with almost no knowledge, though they can quickly pick up how to speak, write and do simple tasks in a matter of days. Anthroparions require being fed daily as well, without food they will die off quickly. Lesser Anthroparions are infertile, and cannot reproduce what-so-ever. Lesser anthroparions have an infinite life span, seemingly never aging. The only way for them to die is through unnatural causes, such as being killed etc. Mechanics Creation The creation of anthroparions is a task no regular alchemist can endure. It takes commitment and patience, and a process in which most are driven mad. One must first ensure they have an abundant supply of alchemical tools, reagents and time. - A valid GFA is required. - Teaching from one who has a valid GFA is required. Ingredients Process Creation Mechanics Distribution Mechanics Vivacion Potion A potion even the most skillful and experienced of alchemists have trouble making effectively. For it is a lengthy process to prepare this viscous, glowing green solution. -The vivacion potion takes no effect unless used in tandem with anthroparion lore. Ingredients Process Creation Mechanics Distribution Mechanics Greater Anthroparions (CA) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Origins The alchemist began to get bored of his little man, so he sought to create something much greater using a similar method. He gathered a body of one who had only just passed, bringing it back to his lab for experimentation. He continuously tried and tried, until the body began to rot. The decaying body simply wouldn’t do. And so he swiftly took the life of a neighbor of his, for his experimentations with life had driven him mad. So mad that his value for life began to decrease, seeing as he could produce it himself within a matter of days... the mad alchemist thought himself to be a God. Though at last, he found a way to make a larger anthroparion, this didn’t come without sacrifices of course. The mad alchemist had to kill his lesser anthroparion in the process - a grim sacrifice, though it seemed that the little man was merely transferred into the new body. So not all that bad after all- in the eyes of the alchemist. Creation The creation of greater anthroparions is even more of a delicate craft than with the lesser variety. The alchemist best have a large space to work with - as they require a lot of resources, something big enough to hold a descendant and all the proper tools. Once again, this process involves practices that are considered taboo, and ingredients far from mundane. Only those mad enough would pursue something such as this. - A valid GFA is required. - Teaching from one who has a valid GFA is required. - Permission is required from the owner of the persona. - The persona in question must be dead for creation. - A valid CA is required to play a greater Anthroparion. Ingredients Process Creation Mechanics Distribution Mechanics Physical Description The overall figure of the anthroparion remains mainly the same as the descendent and still looks very humanoid. They will have much grayer and baggier skin. Their eyes are always faintly glowing orange no matter what colour their eyes were previously, though nothing enough to illuminate dark spaces. All organs of the body are functioning and blood runs in the veins. Though there is a peculiar detail, in their veins runs the vivacion potion mixed in with the blood, providing some further abilities. Greater anthroparions are typically weaker and much more frail than the average descendent, their skin peels much easier though it can be repaired. Any anthroparion, greater or lesser has no soul - due to the life being artificially manufactured. They require the same needs as a regular descendant, adequate food and water, oxygen, and so on. Greater anthroparions maintain the same figure as their descendent counterpart, though they are weaker and more frail, brittle. Their speed is about the same as their descendent counterpart. They also tend to have numbed-feeling, meaning they don’t feel pain as much - though they still can and will. It is merely suppressed. Magics that are not related to the soul, usually are effective - though ones that use the soul do not work on anthroparions as they do not have a soul. Greater Anthroparions are infertile, and cannot reproduce what-so-ever. Upon death, an anthroparion’s body will lay dormant until the conflict ends, in which they will slowly bind themselves back together and repair any wounds before resuscitating themselves using the vivacion which flows in their body. This process takes 1 IRL day. If an anthroparion loses any of its limbs or body parts aside from the head, they will be automatically regenerated upon revival. If an anthroparion’s head is chopped off, they will be unable to resuscitate/revive themselves, and will result in them being pk'ed- unless the head is still accessible and within line of sight in the area. In that case, the head will gravitate toward the body and reattach its self. If the anthroparion’s head is chopped off, and lost- carried far away from it’s dead body, then there is only one final way to prevent a PK. The anthroparion’s head can be replaced with a new head of the same race and similar structure, it must simply be stitched on and the vivacion potion will do the rest of the work over the course of 1 IRL day. It must be noted that the anthroparion will lose its memory after this process! If the vivacion potion is somehow drained from the anthroparion’s body upon death, they will be unable to revive (PK)- unless their creator or someone else with knowledge of the potion injects more (DO NOT META PK METHODS). A greater anthroparion has an immortal and infinite life span, allowing them to live as old as they can without being killed by unnatural methods. Their body will slowly degrade over time, touch-ups and repairs are bound to be required throughout the long lifespan of anthroparions. Mental Description The mental state of an anthroparion is quite an unstable one - thus leading to many side effects such as mood swings and hallucinations. After being created, the lesser anthroparion’s mind essentially takes over the new body. They can go through often mood swings and temper changes, resulting in them being rather unpredictable. An interesting inquiry is that if a body is fresh enough, the greater anthroparion’s mind will be split. Meaning; their mind is a mix of the descendants mind and the lesser anthroparions mind - with the anthroparion’s mind always as the primary. The descendant conscience will sometimes take over, leading the anthroparion to do different actions and very possibly being a different person. All this is only if the body is extremely fresh upon creating the anthroparion. At first, the lesser and greater anthroparions will have no knowledge - they must be re taught everything such as speaking. One thing they maintain is their motor skills and muscle memory from their previous life - if they were good with a sword, this would translate over. Anthroparions in no way serve or are binded to their creator, they have a mind of their own and can do whatever they want - this being said, they can be alluded into a false sense that they are. Abilities Greater Anthroparion’s have a small selection of abilities to aid them in combat and non-combat scenarios. All of which are unlocked and already in the knowledge of an anthroparion immediately upon creation. Vivacion Flow - Combative The greater anthroparion controls and concentrates the vivacion potion which courses through its veins to an area of the body - usually a hand. Doing this hardens the limb, akin to that of a rock - allowing for more potent punches or kicks. This can also be used as a defensive precaution - for example, sending the vivacion potion to a certain area of the body if you know you are getting hit there. Rejuvenation - Non-Combative After a dangerous encounter where the Anthroparion is injured, it will be able to channel the vivacion potion in a different manner - effectively binding minor wounds and speeding up the process for larger ones. Limb Detachment - Non-combative A greater anthroparion is able to detach their limbs from their body. They may choose to do this for a variety of reasons, for example - they might take an arm off to reach up to a higher place. Play Dead - Combative/Non-Combative The ability “play dead” is the function of an anthroparion being able to completely shut off its organs and any signs of life for a limited period of time. They may wish to do this to avoid true death, to blend in or perhaps give a fright to anyone nearby. General Redlines and Restrictions - A valid GFA is required. - Teaching from one who has a valid GFA is required. - Permission is required from the owner of the persona. - The persona in question for creation must be dead. - A valid CA is required to play a greater Anthroparion. - They cannot be inherently controlled - they have a mind of their own. - Any magic that requires use of a soul cannot be harnessed or used by an Anthroparion. - ANY CA races cannot be turned into anthroparions. - Greater and Lesser anthroparions are both infertile, and cannot reproduce under any circumstance. - The only way an anthroparion can be created is through means stated in this lore (The creation process). - Under NO circumstance can an anthroparion of any kind engage in sexual FTB. - Do not meta PK methods. - An anthroparion must be PK’ed if it’s head is chopped off and removed from the area. The only way to avoid this is stated under physical description. - An anthroparion must be PK’ed if all of it’s blood/vivacion potion in it’s body is drained completely. -The blood of an Anthroparion notably tastes awful and nauseating. -The body of an Anthroparion in it's PK'd state is to be signed by the Anthroparion player, any logs kept of the body thereafter if it is revived or destroyed are to be recorded incase of ask by story team. -Vivacion and Blood is a highly coaguable mixture and cannot be exsanguinated passively unless deliberate. -If an anthroparion is destroyed completely they are irreversibly PK'd and cannot be revived. OOC I felt that we needed something along the lines of Homunculus, though I wished to create something different and somewhat unique from it. Alchemy has many possibilities, and I felt like this was an extremely cool concept that could be touched on. Citation Noz – Author blackhand7 – Helper Archipelago – Advice TheTri – Morale Support ❤️
