:History:

 Akiva was born to the Vicha clan on Arcose in the Koldler Mountains, the Vicha's were one of the few clans left on Arcose when she was born and so she was born into the competitive environment of their old society. She had the misfortune of being born to the family that was known for their rivalry with the clan leader, in all respects they were the Omega's of their clan. The constant abuse served to turn the child quickly from sweet innocence to hardened independence, her parents weren't pushovers and that made them dangerous, she was no exception either. Her father and mother drilled her constantly in combat as soon as she could walk and taught her only the best ways to survive on her own should it ever come to that, they knew the mortality of their race when they lived in a clan and weren't shy about preparing her for their demise if and when it happened. Akiva expected them to die before her tenth birthday but surprisingly they survived until she turned fifteen, her father had opposed their leader for years but only when she came of age (for their species) did their rivalry come to a head. As per ritual the clan leader was to pick who would bear him pups and his logical choice was the daughter of his rivals, none of the three took the news well or lying down.


The fight broke out quickly and it was brutal with two of the clan members jumping in to even the odds in the fight, it was even but the clan leader felt little need to be honorable and another two lackeys jumped in turning the tides in his favor. The injustice set the whole clan fighting against one another and the blood battle left only a few of them alive, it was a massacre in all rights and Akiva lost both of her parents in the mini 'civil war' of her clan. The clan leader had died but in the fray there was no telling who exactly had killed him, the argument over that alone nearly started another fight but it wasn't one Akiva was willing to stick around for and she disappeared into the mountains on her own after a few terse words. She only lingered long enough to slink back in to bury her parents before striking out on her own into the mountains, she didn't mind the solitude, she could say she enjoyed it even. Even then living in the mountains only afforded her so much solitude and her clan would come back to haunt her, they had reformed with what remnants had survived and were out to claim their errant members under yet another crazed leader.

Firstly, welcome to the forum, Akiva!

Next, when you're able, you will need to label the Alien race template, with description and everything for your race.

KANAI

Starting Planet: Arcose

Starting Power Level Range: 20,000

Appearance:

The Kanai are a lithe, leanly muscled race, their metabolisms have evolved over their evolution to keep it so they rarely ever reach heavier than 150 lbs despite having a robust appetite. Their height which can vary but doesn't typically top 6 feet though they can vary to any degree of short heights. Their appearances depend on their environment as their ability to camouflage and move quickly is what has kept them alive and free in their typically hostile living environments on the planet of Arcose. Those of them that live in the Koldler Mountains are typically in the colorings of ice and snow (white, teal, light blue, even silver is acceptable) when it comes to their hair and fur colors while those that live in the rainforests of Arcose are usually earthy or naturey colors (brown, redbrown, green, etc.). Just like their fur and hair colors their skin shades vary depending on their habitat as well as their genetics, there isn't a specific rule but typically those that live in the mountains are on average paler than those who live in the rainforest. Their eyes can be any color imaginable and have little to do with their environment, their eyes however have a faint glow to them in the light due to the reflective layers that allow them to see in the dark.

All Kanai possess the ears and tail of a canine like species (dog, wolf, fox, jackal, etc.) and keep other traits such as nails that resemble claws and sharpened canines, some even have slitted pupils rather than the normal round. Their clothing styles can vary but at home on Arcose it's not uncommon to see them clothed in fur or in hand woven, handmade tribal style clothing. They are adaptable, it's one of the keys of their livability so once they've moved away from Arcose or even away from their tribe their clothing can be whatever their preference is or whatever they can lay their hands on and make.

Background:

The Kanai started out on Arcose long before the main native race the Arcosians actually came to be, they were naturally a tribal race and ran much like any tribe would, adhering to the law of the tribe leader or the Alpha, the strongest of their tribe. The right to be a leader was earned not given by birth right and after the death of an Alpha a competition was held among all capable warriors of the tribe, male or female, that ended only when all but one had submit or died. When the Arcosian appeared the Kanai watched them carefully from their hiding places in the mountains and forests, it was apparent that the lizard race was violent by nature much like the Kanai and it spelled disaster. There was no telling what a war could mean for both fledgling races and so the tribes called a council where all leaders united and came to the conclusion that for the good of their own race it was best for them to hide away from the Arcosians than to engage in a fight that would further cut their numbers.

So their evolution began from a bulky hardy race to a lithe and lean one focused on speed and stealth rather than brute strength, their control of their Ki even evolved to better let them hide themselves giving them an acute control over how much they projected their power and their ki. Their tribal origins still reigned supreme and their rules of survival of the fittest only altered to include survival of the smartest, they couldn't live by strength alone anymore. Their rites remained the same, and still to this day are the same, there are no birth rights only the rights to what you could win and take for yourself, the smarter they were forced to live the more ruthless they became and eventually the tribes started to tear themselves apart into family groups and even then not all stayed together depending on the individuals in said families. If they had been a rumor before to the Arcosians they were now ghosts, creatures only speculated on and even then only in stories of wily child eating monsters of fairy tales.

They have remained this way, living on their own with little order, only one in a while do clans form. Family groups that decide to stick together for the good of some, they're very much a hardy people who are stubborn in their ways and strong of will, their personalities can vary from group to group, Kanai to Kanai.

Racial Traits:

• Advantages
• -Extreme speed, Kanai are much faster than most races.
• -Kanai have acute control over their Ki allowing them to apply armor or blades to their body as well as control their Ki's direction after it has left their body. This control also allows them to lower their powerlevels so severely they can become one with local fauna or locals so that they're not easy to pick out among what the norm for regular creatures are.
• -Shadow melding/Mist Melding is an ability available to the Kanai depending on their region, Kanai from the rainforests have learned how to meld with the shadows by literally becoming shadows themselves through magic, while those that live in the Mountains are able to become mist or frost depending on the temperature they're in. The ability can last no longer than 3 posts at a time and any attacks or abilities used will shatter the spell, on the same note any 'breaking' of their mist or shadow body will break the spell and render them stunned while they gather themselves after such a violent shift. The Kanai also may not jump from shadow to shadow or mist cloud to mist cloud, they're confined to the one they started the ability in and if it dissipates due to sunlight or wind their spell is once more broken.

• Disadvantages
• -Kanai are glass canons, clearly able to deal out hits but due to their lean bodies they can't take hits very well and won't beat someone who's specialty is brute strength in hand to hand combat if they have to face them head on.
• -Kanai are weaker or stronger depending on their environment, Mountain Kanai are weaker in the heat while Rainforest Kanai are stronger and vice versa.
• -Kanai require food and water to keep going much like a Saiyan but to a higher degree, without food their metabolism could kill them or make them very ill to the point of near death. Starvation is a much worse fate than death for the Kanai, and after each training session or fight it's not uncommon for them to have to load up on food and drinks just to recover.

Transformations:

• Kanai Minor is achievable from birth by Kanai with no requirements beyond breathing to obtain it. The Kanai's power increases by four fold in the Minor transformation as well as a growing and hardening of their teeth and nails to almost double their length.
• Kanai Major requires a minimum powerlevel of 70,000 and increases the Kanai's power by six fold, along with the appearance changes from minor the Kanai's fur thickens and their skin toughens to twice its usual resilience making them a harder target for physical blows though not much more than usual.
• Kanai Superior requires a minimum of 150,000 in PL and increases power by fifteen fold, in this form the Kanai's thick fur grows over their backs, legs and arms only leaving their stomach, chest, neck, and face uncovered. Their teeth and nails are double their length and strength as before as well as their skin being stronger.
• Kanai Maximus is probably the most clunky and ungainly of their forms, it includes all of the characteristics of Superior except that it requires a minimum PL of 250,000 and increase their power by x25. In this form the Kanai also bulks up slightly with muscle and becomes slower on average due to becoming Lycanthropic in body shape complete with snout and full body fur, gaining an increased height by at least two feet.
• Kanai Lycaon is the ultimate form of the Kanai requiring a hefty 500,000 PL and increasing their powerlevel by x48. In this form the Kanai become one with their Lycanthropic form but appear normal besides a few things, they're faster than before but with bulkier muscles, saber like teeth and claws on their hands and their eyes become the solid color of whatever their irises are without any white or pupil to speak of.

Transformation Increases:

• x4: Minor (No Requirement)
  
• x6: Major (Requires 70,000)
  
• x15: Superior (Requires 150,000)
  
• x25: Maximus (Requires 250,000)
• x48: Lycaon (Requires 500,000)

I see. This a race of wolf hybrids, so to speak! I don't see much trouble coming with the race's advantages. The unique melding ability is actually balanced, considering it does require a certain environment, but it something that has attracted my attention first. So has the elemental control, but let me get to the melding ability first.

The race needs to have a time limit for this, for they're literally hiding their physical bodies inside things that normally wouldn't allow it to happen! What's more, the Kanai can't be able to jump from shadow to shadow or whatever the environment they were birthed and raised in is. Have these restrictions and we're set with this ability.

Next, elemental control... Unfortunately, I can't figure out a way this advantage can be balanced out, as I can figure out several ways to make this work for me, should I make this race myself... *Cough Cough*

Due to this, I ask that you change the advantage area, for your race already has one built in ability. You pointed out acute control in what would be enjoyable about this race. Elaborate on that in the advantage area and we're good for your race.

[Akiva]

Ok just a rundown on what I fixed:
-I removed the element control and elaborated on their acute Ki control instead.
-Put a post limit of 3 on their melding ability.
-Specified that they can not move from shadow to shadow or mist cloud to mist cloud when melding.

Good. All that needs being done is the character history!
