User:Jimcest/Arachnûl

The Arachnûl are a relatively powerful species of Spider Demons, created from millenia's worth of experimentation by the Mahjarrat Renac. Despite being demonic by classification, unlike most demon species, the Arachnûl are native to Gielinor, and have only a distant connection to the infernal realms through their progenitor.

Creation of Arachnûl and ownership of it is intellectual property of Eridyn .

Naqûl
The trueborn Arachnûl are spider like in appearance, with their forms reaching a large height anywhere between eight and ten feet in their natural demonic form. Naqûl like their Queen, possess the ability to disguise themselves in a complete humanoid form, through the use of their blood manipulation.

Natural Form:
In this from, the upper portion of their body consists of a humanoid torso, with a thick bone-like protrusions emerging from various areas, to form a type of natural exoskeletal armour. The majority of the armour takes an appearance similar to a ribcage, clawing at the chest and back respectfully. Moving above the shoulders, the bones add a natural padding around the neckline, and take on a mask/helmet formation around the head. Horns sit atop the head, twisted and curling, whilst on the face, six eyes are present, with sharp mandibles at either side of the mouth. The armour around the face is retractable, to allow for Naqûl to consume their food more easily. Relocating to the arms, the upper arm is entirely flesh, whilst the forearms shift into natural claws, featuring razor sharp talons. Similarly to the masks on the face, the claws are retractable.

The lower portion of the body is entirely spider-like in appearance, composed of an opisthosoma (abdomen) of a spider, complete with eight respective legs. Markings and patterns appear on both the chest, and the opisthosoma, the colours and shape of which can vary from each individual Naqûl.

Disguised Form:
Naqûl through the use of blood manipulation on their skin tissue, shift into a far more docile form, which most use to disguise themselves for flexible hunting. In their humanoid form, all of their spider-like qualities have been subdued in favour of an elven appearance, though some traits still differentiate them from normal elves. These traits include notable variations such as paler skin, black nails, sharp fang-like teeth, and eyes with black sclera. Another notable trait is that the lips, tongue and gums of a Naqûl in elven form are always the colour of their blood; blue for the deeply cold blooded, and black for the less cold-blooded. Some of the spider-qualities of their natural form, are still able to manifest in thist disguised appearance, such as use of all six eyes, or the protrusions of their mandibles & additional limbs.

Spider Abilities
Due to similar qualities and traits of spiders, Arachnûl breeds are able to utilise the traits common to spiders including but not limited to wall-crawling, silk spinning, enhanced strength and agility, predator instinct and so on.

Ancient Magicks
Due to being experiments of Renac, all Arachnûl inherit a natural ability to use ancient magicks. Of these, blood and shadow are the most prominant due to those being the elements which Renac himself had mastery over.

Queen:
The Queen of the Arachnûl is the single most important member of the hive. The Queen is the 'mother' of all Naqûl, and their sub-breeds, and is the active matriarch of the hive. Whilst each Queen possess an individuality about them, the breed itself shares a series of common abilities that are recognizeable as being only wieldable by a Queen.
 * Chevalier:   The Chevalier are the direct servants of the Queen. Unlike most sub-breeds, the Chevalier are the sole examples of 'perfect' hybrids. Generally created from a human host, the Queen uses her compulsion abilities to calm the minds of her chosen, and to fill them with a sense of euphoria. When they are fully willing, the Queen feeds the host her blood, which swiftly spreads throughout their system, the demonic nature of such being so chaotic that the host begins to feel imeasurable pain. However, due to their state of euphoria, they come to enjoy the pain against their will, breaking any emotions they may have otherwise felt. To complete their transition, the Queen consumes the heart of the host, and effectively binds her chosen to her own life. The Chevalier of each Queen answers only to said Queen, eternally bonded in a way that rivals the connection between the Queen and Naqûl. They exist only for their Queen, and no other.

The current Queen of the hive is: Xayla.

Lanûl:
The Lanûl are first-born offspring, and are the original generation of Naqûl born from the First Queen, Xayla. Being the first generation, they are the most powerful of all Arachnûl, second to none save the Queen, and are the original creators of each sub-breed.

Xavien is currently the only first-born in existence.

Venûl
Venûl are the resulting creation of Xavien's after a being comes into contact with his venom-infused blood. The blood slowly courses through their body and turns them feral, removing what form of humanity they had retained in their previous life. Like Chevaliers they are hybrids, though far less docile.
