Immortals
You know they come because it’s like a quiet before the storm. It’s like the world is about to go to hell in a hand basket and their isn’t anything you can do but run as fast as you can for the horizon at newly discovered speeds. And when they’re finally here, it’s gone. Immortals…very few of them truly exist, but those that do…know better than to interfere with their machinations…--Inquisitor Vord prior to promotion to Inquisitor Lord.
Immortality is a term that is thrown around amongst the races for their long or incredibly extended lives. But the truth of the matter is that Immortality means to never grow old, that disease and ordinary deaths are beyond the condition of the Immortal. Do these legendary individuals exist? Yes. But the number of actual immortals is nearly impossible to count, because so few have actually been seen. What is known about them is that they are impossibly rare, and even more so very special.
Immortals are a race of beings who are both above and below normal. Immortals are singular in their nature, and generally different than other races. They are for all intents and purposes, an evolved species of humanity, a rare-sub group. Immortals cannot produce offspring with non-immortals. Immortals tend to live vastly long lives as they stop aging at the age of 25. Immortals tend to rarely involve themselves in the affairs of the world around them, unless absolutely necessary and they do not take kindly to outsiders or non-immortals involving themselves with their personal affairs.
Immortals because of their rarity tend to come from four known Bloodlines directly. These bloodlines are the Hethros Bloodline, the Hyuaki Bloodline, the Gastascia bloodline, and the Wymnacht Bloodline.

Racial Stats (for all immortals)
Immortals come from four known bloodlines. As such, these bloodlines each carry a unique ability to their specific bloodline. Please select one of the following Bloodlines below.
Hethros: An ancient and powerful bloodline of Immortals, the Hethros line is renowned for their power and mastery of psychic and magick grace. While the ratio of Psychics to Magick Wielders is slimmer, this line is famous for the power they offer.
Hyuaki: Strong and formidable, the ancient Hyuaki bloodline offers strength and force of will that few true immortals ever know. While they tend to blend into their backgrounds and will rarely enter a physical confrontation unless necessary, someone of the Hyuaki bloodline bears strength and presence where others may not.
Gastascia: Grace and elegant, fast and deadly, fewer immortals can say that they can successfully kill their target and never have their target know where they came from. The Gastascia bloodline is infamous for its fast thinking and naturally keen eyed descendants.
Wymnacht: Enduring and wizened, of all the Immortal Bloodlines, the Wymnacht is perhaps the most enigmatic. Rare are their descendants, even rarer are those who can say they’ve kept in long contact with a member of this bloodline. This type of immortal carries knowledge and reflex that few have ever seen, and react to situations before anyone can figure out what they’ve done.
