The descendants of an ancient race that were once involved in an Incident that led directly to war.

• Brown
• Light brown

• A third eye set low on their forehead. Their hairline is slightly receded compared to other humanoids to compensate.
• Some may have two small horns protruding from the forehead/temple, first appearing around 3 months after hatching.

• Vertically slit eyes that may be gold, red, or purple.
• Wavy or curly hair that may be red or black. Their horns typically match their hair color.

That war thing, yeah...

• As eggs, they naturally hatch when they've absorbed enough mana to have developed to the earliest point survivable without the protective egg. (Looking about a human 2 years old.)
• This typically happens from a parent infusing mana into the egg, but it's possible for an egg to draw the necessary mana from the environment over an extremely long period of time.
• They live for around 250 to 300 years naturally, with much of it spent in a youthful appearance.
