Gorran

Overview

Gorran have superhuman control of their physical forms, and are able to grow stronger, faster, gain armoured scales, heal themselves and others, withstand tremendous amounts of damage, turn to stone or steel and even morph in different shapes entirely.

Personality Though they tend to be the most martial of all Manifestations, they are also renowned for their wisdom and even temperateness: Gorran can live for hundreds of years, if they are not killed in battle. Their usefulness on the front line of any military or humanitarian mission makes this quite likely, however, especially in their youth... many immature Gorran overestimate their abilities, enamoured as they are with tales of immortal warriors capable of surviving cannon-blasts and bites from immense cyberdragons.

Commoners

Peasants with Gorran blood may be stronger, hardier, sick less often and make better soldiers than others. Particularly strong individuals may even be able to manifest Level 1 abilities, including jumping impressive distances, lifting boulders and surviving falls from great heights. Given the dangerous nature of being a peasant in either Old or New World, most never live long enough to gain this much control of their innate abilities. Nobility

Gorran Nobles are, on the otherhand, renowned for being exceptionally hard to kill. Their ability to leap through the air, to sprout armour from their skin, heal their fellows in battle and live long enough to gain masses of power make them a force to contend with. Their families become very large, and they tend to use weird outdated sayings from centuries past.

Dangers

Youthful overestimation of personal durability aside, Noble Gorran tend to become less attached to commoners as they age, given their vastly extended lifespans. Nobility that tread too far down this path, or suffer too much personal loss through battle or simply age, may end up going mad and becoming Gornos - dark, evil, vampiric Gorran that build empires dedicated to sapping humans of their power to feed their own insatiable lust for Energy. Each Gorran House has a legend from their past, and specialist ways of dealing with House-brethren that seem to be tempted by this darker side of their Manifestation... Abilities
