The Silent (Race)

**The Silent** are a race of humanoid beings created by Isaac Reaper that appear in ?.

## Origins

**The Silent** are a mix of creatures/beings from a variety of sources, including beings seen in some of Reapers films. The two biggest influences are that of the classic 'slow zombie' and the 'rabid mauler', of which Reaper is famous for utilizing. Other influences include such creatures like giants (Towers), harpies/angels (Flyers), merfolk (Swimmers), etc. Some influences aren't in fact creatures or beings or folklore or fiction but instead real life people. The most notable example of this are the Handless, whose most notable physical characteristic, their missing hands replaced with weapons, were inspired greatly by Galvarino, a famous Mupache warrior who after having his hands amputated as punishment had knives fastened to his wrists.

## Types

### Land

* **Reds/Handless** - Human sized beings that lack hands but instead possess an array of weapons where their hands should be. They are only capable of walking at their fastest, even when pursuing humans.
* **Greens/Towers** - 12 foot tall giants who, unlike the Handless, possess hands. They are only capable of walking and cannot run, but possess superhuman strength and can destroy buildings with their bare fists.
* **Yellows/Wranglers** - The same size as the Handless but they themselves do have hands. Their function is to capture/grab their targets and apply as tight a grip as possible. They are capable of bearhugging a person to death and can crush bone with a single hand. They are able to run, unlike the Handless, and will often drop their whole bodies to the ground when they have captured their target.
* **Purples/Gallopers** - Upper bodies like that of the Handless but below the waist they possess horse bodies, like that of a centaur. They are the fastest of the land-based Silent.
* **Whites/Warriors** - Look just like Wranglers but possess more armor. They wield weapons, generally a single two handed weapon, and are not only capable of attacking with them but can also utilize their weapons for defense and deflection, though the latter two are not often seen.
* **Orange/Callers** - Similar in appearance to Wranglers, these Silent are capable of calling forth and commanding Silent's via two ways: A) Remaining still with their hands to the ground, which allows them to control all Silent within a certain radius to convene upon a target the Caller can see, B) Have all Silent within the same radius follow him as he moves by striking forearm braces together.

### Air

* **Greys/Flyers** - Similar in appearance to Wranglers but with bat-like wings and large talons instead of human feet, which they use grab and pull their targets high into the air, at which point they release them, allowing them to fall to their deaths.

Water

* **Blues/Swimmers** - Upper bodies are like that of Wranglers, but their lower bodies are like that of a mer-persons. They grab their human targets and pull them into the water, drowning them. They are able to emerge from the water completely but only for a very brief time as the water covering their bodies dries off very quickly. Once their bodies are completely dry their with become stiff and unable to move. Death sets in quickly after.
