Simic Hybrid
The Temple of the Simic uses magic to fuse different life forms together. During the Invasion, they had extended this research to humanoid subjects, magically transferring the traits of various animals into Humans, Elves, and other humanoid species. The goal of the so-called Guardian Project is to build a Simic army of superior soldiers, perfectly adapted to a variety of combat situations. These hyper-evolved specimens are called Simic Hybrids, though they sometimes call themselves guardians. The Temple of the Simic now acts as a mercenary force that give out regiments of this solders to the highest bidder during war times.

Racial Description
Extensive Adaptation: A hybrid's biological enhancements can change its appearance drastically, though most hybrids retain their basic physical form. AJI are augmented with characteristics of animals, mostly aquatic, reptilian, or amphibian creatures. These include crab claws, squid tentacles, wings, or fins like those of manta rays, translucent or camouflaged skin, or shark-like maws filled with sharp teeth. Hybrids are the product of Simic magic. It's not impossible for a hybrid to leave the Temple of the Simic, but the Simic would consider the individual a deserter, causing this individual to be hunted down and killed. Simic Hybrid Names: Soldiers of this race would all have numbers that are their names, though powerful Simic's would gain nicknames. A deserter hybrid usually bears the name given by their Human, Elf, or humanoids parents. Some hybrids assume a new name after their transformation- a name chosen personally or by those who transformed them.Find your way!
