==Overview== | |||
[[File:ssCpjnk.png|thumb|250px|right|Arch Duke Haedyn D'baen]] | |||
The Atavians are a humanoid race, with lightweight bones and magnificent, feathered wings, descended from an ancient, bird-like people known as the Atav. They are visually very similar to humans, coming in all shapes and sizes, and their wings are seen in a wide range of hues, with the most traditional coloration being ivory or brilliant white. The racial home of the Atavians is the Aerie, a remote village tucked away in the Vashnar mountain range. | |||
With their powerful feathery-white wings, the race of Atavians lift themselves high into the sky. The freedom of this avian race is unmatched in the Midnight age, as is their talent for flight. They stand otherwise nearly identical to their Human cousins, though they view them with some measure of disdain. | With their powerful feathery-white wings, the race of Atavians lift themselves high into the sky.

==Racial skills== | |||
*Level 1: Flight. Using their powerful wings, Atavians can fly up from the ground when outdoors to access a sky-version of each room. | |||
*Level 25: Hover. Hovering grants a defense akin to the levitation defense, preventing an Atavian from falling into certain types of pits. | |||
*Level 50: Air Stability. This skill passively stops an Atavian from being blown around while flying. | |||
*Level 75: Blood Regeneration. This passively regenerates blood levels, a part of health that vampires can drain and, more importantly, a resource vampires need to monitor their own use of. This skill can be useful for Atavians who choose the nightstalker class. | |||
==Roleplay== | |||
Atavian have a diverse range of roleplay choices, with players able to highlight their racial feature of wings and flight in many ways, such as through emotes emphasizing the movement of their wings, or through stories about their love of flying. Atavian are amalgamated very heavily into modern Aetolian society, opening the door to virtually any backstory you may desire, although some players enjoy emphasizing their connection to the race's home in Aerie. | |||
