Demi-Human

**Demi-Human** is the general term for the many other races that possess humanoid and monster hybrid appearance and characteristics and sapient level intelligence similar and unlike baseline humans.

## Categorization

The term "Demi-Human" was also shown to only primarily apply to beings with largely human like characteristics, while other beings with similar intelligence and humanoid forms such as Orcs,Knolls,Goblins and Lizardmen are instead placed into the category of "Monster" due to their savage nature.

## Races

Currently their are multiple species of Demi-Humans within the Obelisk as Rankers, having been brought there from each of their respective native home worlds either individually in order to participate in the Tower's goal of becoming a God or brought to the tower by a God in order to become their servants within the Tower's hierarchy.

### Superior Races

As stated by Elohim and proven by the residence of the Tower, their are some races within the Tower that genetically and innately possess immense power and abilities. So much so they have been deemed to be the Superior Races within the Obelisk. This statement is further given credence due to these races apparently being related to that of the Gods, Demons, Giants or Dragons Races or even formerly belonging to these race before "falling".

The races put into this category are;

* Protogenoi
* Half-Demons
* Fallen Angels
* Dragon Humans
* Vanir
* High Elves
* One-Horned Humans

### Species

#### **One-Horned Humans**

The One-Horned People are noted to be one of the most powerful species of Demi-humans within the tower. With them possessing naturally powerful physical abilities and Mana manipulation that made them easily acquire skills and grow in power as Rankers within the Tower. They were also noted to naturally possess a powerful affinity for also developing and obtaining powerful precognitive/psychic based skills as well.

Later it was revealed that the One-Horned Tribe themselves are descendants to Gods as well.

Members: One-Horned Tribe

#### **Half-Giants**

The Giant race was once one of the Tower's most powerful Races and was stated to have possessed Power that easily made them equal to that of the Gods. It was stated that the Giant Race waged war against the Gods and was rendered near extinct as a result.

As stated by the Tower's history, the Giants were once Transcendent beings that also resided within the 98th Floor of the Obelisk, alongside the Gods, Demons and Dragons, however due to their war against the Gods, they thus then banished to the Lower Floors of the Tower similar to the Protogenoi and the Dragon race. Its been stated that the Giants were kicked out of the 98th Floor at an even earlier date than the Dragon Race and unlike the Dragons who left numerous traces of their culture and presence within the Obelisk, there is barely any traces left of the Giant Species.

However despite their "extinction" it is evident that there are still giants within the Obelisk. This is seen where it is still apparently possible for a "Half-Giant" to still appear as a Player.

#### **Dwarf**

Dawrf's are shown to be one of the most humanoid looking demi human, with the only difference in them being the fact that Dwarf's are naturally small and diminutive in size and won't grow any taller than that of a human child. However Dawrves are still considered one of the more powerful Races of Demi-humans due to their natural affinity for fire and foraging weapons, armors and equipment. Including the necessary affinity to utilize enchantments and various other skills for imbuing powerful magic into their created equipment.

#### **Dragon Born/Dragon Humans**

Dragon Born's are Demi-Human's who are the either the result of the relationship between a Dragon and a Human or the result of a Dragon giving the trait "Dragon Blood" to a compatible human. As a result of their heritage, Dragon Humans are naturally powerful and possess numerous skill and traits naturally inherited from their Dragonic parentage/patron. This is seen where they automatically have access to the skill, Dragonic Eyes and develop the trait and powers of Dragon Body.

Members:

* Descendant from the Ancient Dragon Kalatus: Cha Jeong-woo, Cha Yeon-woo and Sesha (Quarter)
* Descendant from the Summer Queen: Waltz, Chimmy, Wales, Triger, Hyall, Leeso, Bahartan, San, Tom
* Ananta (Naturally Born Half Dragon) - (Born to the Incarnated God, Brahm and an unknown Female Dragon)

#### **Vampire**

Vampires is a race that is unique in the fact that they are seemingly humans transformed. The exact mechanics is unknown but it is stated that once transformed they are afforded much greater physical abilities and skills by default upon their transformation being completed. This is seen where the Sadhu, Sol Luna confirmed that he was once a human and willingly transformed into a Vampire.

The skill [Kudrak’s Teeth], was stated to be a racial skill possessed by all members of the Vampire race, including their sub-races. This skill was stated to be an energy drain type skill that allowed its users to generate a mildly powerful suction vacuum that allows its users to recover stamina and magic power by absorbing blood from an injured opponent. Once the skill has become sufficiently powerful, instead of sucking blood, the user could inject magic power into the opponent and control them like puppets.

Later after acquiring Sol Luna's soul, Yeon noted that he was close to a pure-breed vampire ancestor. Implying that a Vampire's overall power can be discerned by how "pure" their blood is. It would later be revealed that similar to Elves and Dragons, Vampires also possess several sub-species.

Members: Erzsebet Bathory, Sol Luna

Its sub-races are;

* **Dhampir:**
* **Varcolac:**
* **Strigoi: Mary**

#### **Protogenoi**

The Protogenoi was a race originally possessing immense divine holy power and was counted as one of the Gods and reside with the various other Pantheons within the 98th Floor of the Obelisk together with them. But for some reason, the race "fell" from their original position and were banished to the Lower Floors of the Tower and became mortals. Losing a gigantic bulk of their original powers.

However, despite still possessing access and an affinity for Holy Type powers, skills and magics, it was still considered a far cry to what they once had.
