Kemiyas

**Metal Kemiya's** are considered Elite Alchemists and can manipulate metals into almost any shape or form they wish.

**History:**

Kemiya’s have been in existence since 2000BC and were mainly concentrated around Egypt. These sorcerers often competed for the favor of the Pharaoh until Olympiodorus of Thebes found that the soul was the source of their power but it was Zosimos of Panopolis who managed to find a way to separate the soul from the body and into a piece of his choosing. By doing so he was also able to strengthen his own power with the power of another Kemiya and thus became the first Master Kemiya. During the time of Rome, Kemiya's learnt how to incorporate their power into combat and have been at war with each other ever since

Alchemy is believed to have originated from the science of chemistry, infused with a kind of magic. Kemiya’s are considered to be a warrior clan that utilized the magic of alchemy, basing its focus on Metallurgy.

**Nature:**

Kemiya's feel emotion like all other humans, but their basic nature is to fight. They are trained for it and raised to believe it is their own purpose in life, to fight, grow strong but these feelings vary from Kemiya to Kemiya. Some have an incredibly huge blood lust for combat, others prefer to defend themselves from others rather than go looking for a fight. Some enjoy the thrill of battle so much they will in fact hold back their full strength when faced with a weaker opponent to drag the fight out or even allow themselves to be injured and will never attack an opponent’s weakness. They are mostly solitary people, spending almost all their time alone, not forming attachments for long.

**Powers:**

**Alchemy:** Kemiya's have the ability to rearrange matter into a certain metal on a molecular level, through the three step process of analysis, destruction and re-composition. To achieve this, a Kemiya must know the exact composition of the material they are transmuting. They also have the ability to stop at step two and destroy the molecular structure of matter, thus breaking it apart

**Metal Reformation:** Once a Kemiya makes a certain metal, they then have then ability to reform that metal piece into any shape or form they wish.

**Sensing**: Kemiya's can sense the souls of other people to tell if they are weak or strong but in close range. These senses can be turned on and off and are not constantly running

**Soul Projection**: Kemiya's can use a unique ability to project themselves into the soul of another person. The space they enter will be shaped by the persons current emotional state. It is not useful in a combat situation and can only be done with the recipient’s complete consent and trust.

**Darkness:** Kemiya's have the ability to give up control of their body to their inner darkness, and be granted more power but their consciousness will be dominated by the pure evil soul within them. They can regain control within a certain time limit. While in this form they will fight like a berserker, be able to ignore all wounds given to them and be temporarily immune from telepathy. The longer they stay in this form the harder it will be for them to return to their original form and if they do, the pain from wounds caused will hit them at once. This technique can be practiced to higher levels of control

**Superhuman Abilities:** Kemiya's have speed, strength, reflexes, agility and balance far above that of a normal human, but not as high as a vampire or werewolf.

**Superhuman Combat:** Due to training, Kemiya's are considered superhuman melee combatants, and are able to wield their chosen weapon with such speed, strength and accuracy to superhuman levels

**Spiritual Pressure:** Pure Kemiya's have the ability to increase their spiritual pressure, to increase their physical abilities to superhuman levels. When not in combat Kemiya's keep their power suppressed and only increase it when preparing for battle. Those close to Kemiya's while increasing their spiritual pressure will feel a great deal on their bodies, like a waterfall falling on them

**Sword Beam Emission:** Kemiya's can put their power into their weapon of choice and use it to cut through solid objects, at point blank range or at a distance, by creating arc shaped beams

**Instinctive feel:** Kemiya's can place their hand on almost any object and instantly tell its elemental make up

**Perceptive Combat:** Kemiya's are trained from a young age and are trained to think very carefully when in combat, not just about their moves, but their opponents moves and concoct strategies to achieve victory

**Weaknesses:**

**Damaged Hands:** If a Kemiya has his/her hand tattoos broken they will basically be rendered powerless. They can however draw a circle to use their power, but this requires time and is not suitable in combat

**Consecrated Items:** A Kemiya's alchemic abilities do not work on items that are blessed. Any metal they form is also vulnerable to consecrated weapons, mainly bullets

**Hunters Amulet:** Being within 50ft of a Hunters Amulet will render a Kemiya almost powerless. A Kemiya will be unable to strike or defend themselves with any more power than a normal human. Even their transmutations will slow down greatly

**Over use:** Being immensely powerful, Kemiya’s bodies can only handle so much power and must be trained correctly to increase the bodies ability to handle such power. If a Kemiya uses their power beyond the bodies ability, it can break bones due to the pressure and even kill if used even further
