Sanguinarian

Slower Aging

The Sanguinarians are a race that derives from the Dark Continent, They are near indistinguishable from humans as they appear almost identical with a few features which give them away.

## Appearance & Biology

### Physical features

Sanguinarians are humanoid creatures who were found during explorations in the Dark Continent. The Sanguinarian's few features which give them away are most notably their ability to survive purely on blood from both animals and humans alike, They are shown to have four larger fangs which aid them when they need to reach blood inside living organisms.

Sanguinarians have yet another feature that makes them easier to distinguish from humans are the fact that they feature wings of different kinds on their back depending on each individual. These wings have been shown to be able to retract into the body at will when they want to.

Much like their wings, Sanguinarians also have different kinds of tails depending on the individual. These tails just like their wings are able to retract into their body whenever they want to.

### Senses

#### Sight

Ancient Sanguinarians have the sight of a hawk, Able to spot a mouse from miles away. Only Ancient Sanguinarians possess this extreme sight difference from regular humans as their senses got heightened.

#### Taste

Their taste remains mostly unchanged however blood specifically changed from an iron-like taste into a sweet sugary one.

#### Hearing

Both Ancient and Noble Sanguinarians' hearing has been enhanced many times over, This leaves them about the same hearing as a cat. Having the ability to hear much clearer than humans makes it easy for these Sanguinarians to hear hidden conversations.

#### Touch

Sanguinarian's sense of touch hasn't changed much from their human counterpart however they can feel tremors much easier than humans. It is unknown why but theorized that it's because of their more savage and animalistic nature.

#### Smell

Ancient Sanguinarian's sense of smell is the only enhanced one as they can smell and distinguish all aromas which are in the air. Skilled Ancient Sanguinarians are able to push out different scents if they're searching for a specific one in the air.

### Types & Reproduction

* Ancient: Ancient Sanguinarians are the first Sanguinarians to came into existence, This was due to a group who was exploring the Dark Continent came across a fountain which was spewing blood. Drinking this blood the party became Ancient Sanguinarians however they became ravenous for more, Drinking the entire fountain, Draining it from the precious blood-like liquid. The Ancient Sanguinarians are able to reproduce with humanoids, Their offspring are considered Noble Sanguinarians as they have most of the Ancient blood running inside of them however it has thinned out. Ancient Sanguinarian's blood is venomous unless the Sanguinarian wants the other party to drink the blood, It is unknown why it becomes drinkable when the Ancient Sanguinarian wants it to happen.

On average the Ancient Sanguinarians have five times the strength of an average human. Ancient Sanguinarians don't age at all nor grow at all, This leaves some of them looking quite young despite being centuries old.

* Noble: Noble Sanguinarians are created by an Ancient Sanguinarian either gets pregnant and gives birth to offspring, Or through a painful process where the Ancient Sanguinarian both wants and allows the humanoid to drink their blood. Drinking the Ancient Sanguinarians blood forces the drinking party's body to undergo drastic changes, The fatality rate from this transformation is 80%.

On average the Noble Sanguinarians have three times the strength of an average human. Noble Sanguinarians age about 10% of the speed of a regular human, Which means that 100 years for a human will be just like 10 years for a Noble Sanguinarian.

* Common: Common Sanguinarians are the closest to other humanoids as the Sanguinarian race gets. Common Sanguinarians are unable to reproduce completely, This means both producing more Sanguinarians through spreading their blood and biologically having children.

The common Sanguinarian has generally the strength of 1,5 average humans making them slightly stronger. Common Sanguinarians age the closest to other humanoids as they age 1/3rd of the speed a human ages, This means that 30 years for a human will be 10 years for a Common Sanguinarian.

## Abilities

### Common

#### Blood Nourishment

Sanguinarians are able to sustain themselves entirely on blood, This means that they get all the nourishment from consuming blood. Having extremely sharp fangs Sanguinarians can use these offensively as they are meant to puncture the throats of other creatures in order to suck their blood out.

#### Blood Starved

Sanguinarians are able to sustain themselves on regular food as well, However, if they go too long without the taste of blood some succumb to a frenzied mind. This frenzied state causes them to go savage until they get fed enough blood, They lose all sense of reason during this time.

Ancient Sanguinarians and Common Sanguinarians are able to go much longer without blood than the Noble Sanguinarians. This is due to Common Sanguinarians having much less of the mutation from the Ancient Sanguinarians. Ancient Sanguinarians are more used to fighting their bloodthirst as they've lived for a much longer time. Noble Sanguinarians haven't been alive long enough to have trained in order to suppress their urges, They also have a much denser amount of mutation cells than Common Sanguinarians.

#### Xeroderma

All Sanguinarians suffer from Xeroderma. Xeroderma is a disease that causes people to grow extremely sensitive towards both UV light and sunlight. Because of this weakness, most Sanguinarians either stay inside during the day or have something to shield themselves from the sun.

Skilled Sanguinarian users are able to utilize their Nen in a fashion that causes their Nen aura to filter away UV rays from all sources. These Sanguinarians are able to walk in broad daylight without their skin getting burnt or even irritated as this filter helps them.

#### Fangs

Featuring four sharp fangs in the Sanguinarians mouthes, They are used to puncture the throat of their prey. Skilled Sanguinarians can make a puncture that doesn't threaten the life of their prey. They can also use their fangs offensively in combat, Or when someone offers their blood to them they can go for any other part instead of the neck.

### Ancient Sanguinarian

#### Wings

Ancient Sanguinarians are able to conjure wings on their back, These wings are often leathery in nature however there have been cases with feathery ones. Ancient Sanguinarian's wings are extremely strong as they're able to carry not only their own bodyweight but even up to three times above their own body weight.

#### Tails

Ancient Sanguinarian's tails don't have much of a meaning behind them, The only notable thing they have been used for is strangulation or used like a much weaker third arm. Some of the Ancient Sanguinarian's tails are sensitive making them erogenous zones for these Ancient Sanguinarians.

#### Non Aging

Ancient Sanguinarians are the only type of Sanguinarians who don't age at all, Their only exception is if they are below the age of 10 when consuming the fountain's blood. When consuming the blood underneath the age of 15 the user will age for an unknown amount of time until it suddenly halts one day.

#### Strength

Ancient Sanguinarian's strengths are on average that about five regular humans. This makes Ancient Sanguinarians who are the most scarce and rarest exceptionally strong among humanoids.

### Noble Sanguinarian

#### Slow Aging

Noble Sanguinarian's age is extremely slow as ten years for regular humans is like one year for a Noble Sanguinarian.

#### Tails

Noble Sanguinarians can also grow out their tails as well as retract them when they feel the need to. Much like the Ancient Sanguinarians, The Noble Sanguinarian's tails are quite weak by nature and can only be used as a weaker third arm.

#### Strength

Noble Sanguinarian's average strength is on par with three humans, This leaves them quite a bit stronger than most humanoids but can still be competed with by a few.

### Common Sanguinarians

#### Slow Aging

Common Sanguinarians age at the speed of a third of what humans do, This makes them live three times longer than the average human.

#### Strength

Common Sanguinarian's average strength sits around 1,5 humans, This leaves Common Sanguinarians just slightly above the average humans. Having much weaker strength than other Sanguinarians means that they fall prey under most creatures as they're almost as feeble as humans.

## History

A small expedition team was put together by the Hunter Association back in 1910, This small expedition team had the mission of exploring an uncharted location in the Dark Continent. Whilst exploring this unknown place the team came across a small castle-like structure. Heading inside the structure they were greeted by empty halls, The only room which wasn't empty was the main hall where a fountain with red liquid was standing.

This fountain had skulls all over it, Both humanoid and wildlife. Curious over what the fountain's liquid was the expedition team decided that one member would drink from it. Drinking from it the member coughed vigorously before falling into a seizure. Recovering after a minute of having seizures he felt revitalized, Almost as if he had been reborn.

Nearly forcing the others to drink from the fountain they too experienced it before turning into the first Ancient Sanguinarians. One of the members decided to take their canteen and fill the liquid inside before drinking and turning into an Ancient Sanguinarian, All of the members drank from the fountain slowly draining it. Once done draining it they continued on with their expedition until completing it. Being done with their expedition as they had mapped the area they headed back, Unknowingly over their new powers they slowly noticed how they could grow both tails and wings.

The person who had filled their canteen kept it hidden as it contained the absolute last of the liquid which the fountain featured. Unknowingly the members started spreading their genes around, Giving birth and turning others into both Noble and Common Sanguinarians. Years afterward they noticed how their actions had been spreading it like a plague they decided to plow down the numbers, Killing many Common and Noble Sanguinarians as to not doom humanity.

Ancient Sanguinarians decided to have a meeting once in every century in order to discuss various things, These things vary from what they've been doing lately to how many of their kind exist, Discussing if they need to trim down their numbers.
