The Serian races (Silvanian, Saphanian, Auronian, Jagaian, Oniyan, Oniyan(released)) and their corrupted counterparts. Corrupted Auronians appear to be a standard Naginata, only a lot more aggressive than usual.
Serians are a diverse group of people, some dwell under water, some dwell in the forests, some are about as close to human as you can get, and some are far from it. Where such a vast amount of diversity comes from is unknown, but the magic that envelops the island might have something to do with it. Some races are extinct, and others are endangered. To your right, you will see a schematic of all the currently existing races.
Silvanians
Standard Silvanian
Silvanians are water dwellers that can also survive on land. They all have a uniform skin color (including the spot around the eyes, slight variations of the skin tone are often found), and their hair colors are usually cool colors (purple, blue, etc.). At the tip of their ears is a silver color with a rounded boundary. There are fins on their heads, forearms, and lower legs (and between their fingers and toes) that increase swimming speed and boost overall swimming efficiency. Three gills on both sides of their necks help them to breathe underwater.Usually, Silvanians don't go over 6 feet in height. They are peaceful and find pride in the waters of Silvania. A rare amount of Silvanians (mainly the powerful leaders) posess the ability to walk on water, a skill that the Naginata have also inherited. Typically, they wear water-proof clothing, though they do wear other types of clothing when walking on land (shorts, capris, tank-tops, etc.). Their clothing must be cut to let their gills stick out freely.
Corrupted (Siren)
When corrupted, Silvanians become Sirens, aggressive red-skinned water dwellers that, similar to Ferals and Dragons, is overtaken by a huge urge to infect an innocent victim. Not only are the physical forms elongated, but the fins become elongated and sharper-- almost enough to be lethal. The sclera turns black and the pupils disappear. All fins turn a very dark grey, and the Siren's nails become black claws. The spinal column is also exaggerated. Sirens swim a lot faster than the average Silvanian and only let out a deep hissing sound. Until they are completely corrupted or cured, they will remain in this state. When a Siren is completely corrupted, the sclera in its eyes turns white, the pupils return, and the Siren, now a Naginata, is sane-- for the most part. It's also interesting to note that they are really good, sly fighters like their counterparts (the Ferals and the Dragons).
Saphanians
Standard Saphanian
Standard Saphanians are land dwellers that have keen senses of hearing, smelling, and seeing. While their skin colors vary greatly, they are rarely pale-skinned. They have feline/canine ears that sit either on the top or sides of their heads, and the fur of the ears are never black. They are able to run at great speeds and climb trees with ease. They are really in tune to nature, and some even follow the Diamonian religion (they are a very spiritual race). Like Silvanians, Auronians, and Jagaians, they never really go over 6 feet in height. They don't have tails, and their teeth are omnivorous. Typically, they wear summer/autumn themed clothing, as it is usually warm in Saphania.
Corrupted (Feral)
When corrupted, Saphanians become known as Ferals, aggressive beast-like creatures that, similar to the other corrupted races, is overtaken by a raging urge to infect or slay an innocent victim. All fur of the Ferals' ears and newly acquired tails is black, and the fur is usually fluffy/spiked. The hair of a Feral often appears to be unkempt. Again, the sclera turns black and the pupil is lost. The form of the body (neck, arms, legs, etc.) is elongated, and the spinal column is exaggerated. Ferals are very agile and seem to be deadly trained martial artists.Ferals have a loud battle cry that sounds like a mixture between a bird screech, a high-pitched roar, and a hiss. When a Feral is completely corrupted, the sclera in its eyes turns white, the pupils return, and the Feral, now a Naginata, is somewhat sane. Their tail-whip attacks (aside from their regular deadly martial arts attacks) are a force to be reckoned.
