Midian

## Physical Description

Midians are medium humanoids with various shades blue skin and have extremely golden eyes. While not known for their close combat battle prowess, Midians excel at ranged combat and starship dogfighting. If they could help it, they try and wear any form of power armor / technological gadget possible. They want to give themselves every advantage against their enemies, especially Álainn.

* **Equip Load:** The starting **Equip Load** stat for a Midian is 40lbs

* **Item Burden:** The starting **Item Burden** stat for an Midian is 80lbs

## Culture

Midians by nature are very ambitious. One's with at least a little bit of value do not settle for meager jobs and titles. Due to this nature, most corporate entities are owned or operated by Midians. The average Midain may not be pro-war, but they are pro-resources. As such, they will do almost anything to expand their massive material empire.

Considering their ambitious nature, Midians who become foot soldiers are often considered the bottom of the barrel. Midians are no suited to battle in the front lines. As said before, they prefer to fight on fields where they have the advantage: space, political, and occult warfare.

This cunning race see's little potential in other races besides those inherently of the same mindset. Races like the Alfreidians, Gremlyns, and Mouches are often seen with Midians.
