Atlantikan

Atlantikans are beautiful sculptures made flesh with a mind of their own. Awakening to a world that looks to them for inspiration and guidance, they often become respected leaders, oracles, or take up other positions where their unique physique and connection to divine conscience can be put to use. Atlantikans most often live in Augoria and The Riverlands, but their unique skills and calm demeanor makes them welcome visitors in most parts of the world.   Standing tall and stoic, atlantikans can be easily recognized by their marble-like skin, perfect physiques, and unmoving hair. Their forms are divinely infused with life, making them resistant to form-altering magic.   Awokened by the means of a skilled magician and an ancient ritual, first-born atlantikans share a special bond with whomever brought them into existence, though atlantikans hailing from a line of atlantikan parents share no such bonds and obligations. Despite their lifeless origins, awokened atlantikans are fully capable of reproduction with other races. Children of such pairings have a chance to take on some of the traits from their atlantikan parent, though most often, they are born children like any other of their race from their other parent.

Fate and Destiny

Every atlantikan is awokened with a purpose, and a connection to the churning timelines of the cosmos. While such gifts often give atlantikans a sense of purpose and insight into destiny, it can also be a cause for much frustration. In the process of being made alive, an atlantikan largely abandon their constructed origin, and take on their forms in flesh, with all of the joys and sorrows that come with the transformation.   Some atlantikans fully embrace their divine insights, and hone their skills in the arts of divination to a degree that other races could only dream of. These atlantikans often become highly respected oracles, often operating in the strict caste systems of Augoria. Others pursue their destinies on the road where they interpret strange omens that other folk do not see, and offer their insights to those that would listen.   Most atlantikans have an in-born preference for structure, planning, and foresight. This give many atlantikans a rather conservative approach to life, but it also makes them reliable partners and trustworthy friends. The sometimes aberrant mind of an atlantikan can be hard to understand for people that just live by the day without the insight of the world that an atlantikan have. These conservative tendencies have largely shaped the empire of Augoria, establishing a powerful caste of oracles that oversee public affairs and enforce strict regulations on the common people to guide them to safety at the expense of freedom and personal choice. These tendencies can also be seen among atlantikans that does not live in Augoria.
