Diclonii

This is an attempt to start an article about the Diclonius race from the Elfen Lied anime, for

those who have not seen the show, here is a link that might help you understand what I am

aiming towards: http://manga.wikia.com/wiki/Diclonius

[edit]Personality

Diclonii is a recent evolutionary off-shoot of the Human race. Diclonii are mostly bitter and

distrustful creatures, due to the servere abuse they are forced to endure in their childhood

because of their horns. Many may come along as cold-hearted and even ruthless. They are

quick to anger and can be very vengeful at times. It have also been shown however, that

Diclonii, when raised/treated with love and care, can be just so compassionate and cheerful

towards regular Humans, much like a Human in theory would be with his/her fellow species. The

reason that most Diclonii may seem so emotionless when among Humans, is mostly for its use

as a self-defense mechanism, due to their fear of being betrayed or decieved by the said

Humans.

[edit]Physical Description

The distinguishing features of a Diclonius are red or pink hair and eyes, and a pair of horns

resembling cat ears on their heads. Their weight and height is about the same as that of regular

Humans. Diclonii are mostly female. Male Diclonii are very rare. Diclonii can be further dividedinto two castes; Royal and Silpelit. Silpelits are sterile, age faster than regular Humans and are

also the most common type of Diclonii. A Silpelit can only reproduce by touching a Human with

his or her vectors. If a Human is touched by a Diclonii's vectors, he or she becomes infected

with the vector virus. While this virus has little to no effect on the Human itself, if he or she later

chooses to reproduce, then the offspring will be a Diclonii, but mostly a Silpelit. Royal Diclonii on

the other hand, are perfectly fertile and age on the same rate as Humans, but are much rarer

and harder to find than Silpelits. The name "Royal" comes from the fact that they are considered

the "Kings and Queens" of the Diclonii Race.

[edit]Relations

Diclonii are typically outcasts in Humanoid society and are often ridiculed for their deformity.

Because of this, they often share an extreme hatred towards the Humanity from which they

were born, leading them to kill any ordinary Humans on sight. Despite this harsh life, Diclonius

has been known to be on friendly terms with any non-Humanoids, including animals.

[edit]Alignment

Diclonii can be of any alignment, though most tend toward evil or neutral at best, due to the

years of abuse they suffer growing up. A good Diclonius is possible, just unlikely.

resilient, and heal very quickly.

Monstrous Humanoid.

Medium.

Dicloniusbase land speed is 30 feet.

Vectors(Su): A Diclonius's Vectors are the most notable ability of their species. Their

Vectors take the form of invisible arms that are much stronger than a normal Human's. Their

number, range, and strength varies from Diclonius to Diclonius. A Diclonius Vectors are

inborn and begin to develop already in early childhood (3-4 years old). Most Diclonii first

unleash their Vectors after a strong bout of anger or fear. Some Diclonii may not activate

their Vectors untill much later, however.

These arms function much like the Mage Hands spell, but are not limited to non-magic items,

may be used to trip, grapple, disarm, wield weapons or take any other kind of action a normal

hand could. When using the Vectors to lift or manipulate objects, use your strength score,

ignoring the normal limitations of mage hands. These Vectors can pass through solid objects

and can be made to vibrate at a microscopic level making them exceedingly sharp, treating

them as keen vorpal weapons against Humanoids and inanimate only. The Vectors don't gain

vorpal against non-humanoids. The Vectors may be used in the form of a natural slam attacks

dealing slashing damage.

Awareness(Ex): A Diclonius is aware of all other Diclonii within 5 miles of himself/herself.
