Apexes

The apex of human psychic evolution. The apexes are terrible creatures to behold.

An apex focusing it psychic power into a deadly attack!

Personality

Apexes are quite similar to humans when it come to personality, however many apexes suffer from some form of insanity. Apexes are often "control freaks" thanks to their incredible intelligence and powerful personality. Apexes are often seen as manipulators and schemers, some cultures however see them as powerful leaders and sages.

Physical Description

Apexes does not deviate too much from humanity when it come to appearance. Among the few differences, apexes tend to have a lighter tone of skin. Powerful apexes often have grey skin as their powerful psychic aura slowly decays it. All apexes have pupil-less silver eyes. Apexes tend to be taller and slimmer than regular humans.

Relations

Apexes are a mutation of humans instead of a race of their own. Other races tend to see them as haughty and very creepy humans at best and madmen and a direct threat at worst.

Alignment

Apexes, like humans, do not gravitate toward particular alignments.

Lands

Apexes live on land alongside humans, often managing to place themselves at the top of the food chain. Usually ending as nobles or powerful merchants, having a great deal of influence over human policy.

Religion

Apexes are known to have very diverse religious beliefs, like their genetic fathers, humans.

Language

Apexes use telepathy to communicate beyond the borders of language. They still share a native language with humans (such as Common).

Names

Apexes are named with human names. Their names depend greatly on the human culture they were born in.
