Goliath

## Species Information

Goliaths are the offspring of Titans whose Genes or enviroment didnt manage to birth a full Titan, such as being a Hybrid, as example.

A Goliath is always a Minimum of 8 foot tall, and can reach heights of up to 64 foot. Their skin is usually grey or pale. They do not have a primary heart, but instead every intersection in their Veins has a single orb-shaped muscle that pumps their Blood, which not only means they have incredibly fast blood circulation, but also a lot of stamina. Goliaths, due to being born from Titans, have no regular blood, their blood instead being arcanum blood. They do not posess an Arcanum heart, though their orb shaped muscles act as such as well. their muscle structure and mass is incredibly condenses, giving them 25 times more strength and weight than other creatures of the same size. Their bones are also in a unique closed structure, forming a sort of closed armor-like endoskeleton around their body, some Goliaths also posess an exoskeleton than can range from incredibly microscopically thin to incredibly thick. Both variants are very durable, however. Goliaths teeth are incredibly strong and sharp, allowing them to bite trough most flesh, bones and even stone, exceptionally strong goliaths can even bite trough metals.

It is common for Goliaths to get a lot of Tattoo-like markings on their body, as well as have shaven or short hair, or have hair in odd punk-like styles. Goliath kids are trained in Battle at the age of 6, and reach adulthood at the age of 30. Their skin tissue has special cells that are able to absorb stamina from direct contect to other skin cells, in other words, they can absorb stamina when hitting someone or being hit. Their vein muscle nodes also pump blood faster the more the body is damaged, meaning their bodily capabilities increases with the damages they suffer.

Goliaths have a lot of pride, and are taught to never reject a battle, and to always fight with their own strength, which is why you will barely see a Goliath with a Sigil.

## Abilities

Goliaths not only have the natural ability to manipulate and absorb stamina trough direct touch, but their body gets stronger the more damage they suffer. When they suffer a lethal wound, their vein nodes go into overcharge with their arcanum blood, while the Goliath is knocked out during this, their Titan Genes take over, making them fight trough pure instinct even while technically knocked out, this can last from just 5 seconds to up to a full minute depending on the persons own Strength. Due to the Arcanum pumping trough their body, Goliaths also have a high affinity for Dimensional Energy, they are completly immune to any effect of Dimensional Manipulation, including being intangible to the rift or the surge. This also enables them to learn how to teleport and even learn to harness Arcanum similar to Goblins, but much less. A goliath can only master an arcanum if they are at least Rank L, up to two at Rank XL, or three at rank P. While Goliaths are fully incapable of using Qi without a sigil, they are able of using Chi at a very high mastery due to their early training with physical prowess and chi.
