Kynaster

Personality

Kynasters are extremely loyal and obedient, they are highly zealous with the task assigned to them by the ancients. An average kynaster would not hesitate to die to simply please it master. Kynasters are also highly aggressive and are dirty fighters. A kynaster will never hesitate at using trickery and deception to defeat an enemy, nor they will hesitate to sacrifice other kynaster.

Greater kynasters are no exception, these are granted genetic perfection and are the nobleblooded of the Kynaster society. A greater kynaster is often vain and arrogant, preferring to bath in the luxury of the virtual world than actually working. Although greater kynasters are no less fanatic than their lesser brethren. Greater kynaster are overly cunning and dangerous, they use their telepathy and natural charisma to motivate troops and workers alike.

Physical Description

Originally kynaster were almost human-like being in apparence, but are amphibian in nature. It is rumoured they descended from a frog-like specie but eventually lost their ability to breath underwater and turned into land dwelling creature. The first kynasters had no hairs, very soft white skin and big black eyes. The first Kynasters had no noises at all, but had a humanoid build. Kynasters were usually quite short, the tallest of them being 5,6 ft. and the average about 4,8 ft.

The modern's kynasters are hideous beast, turned into deformed creature of nightmare thank to genetic modification done by the ancient. Today's kynaster are 6.2 ft in average creature with curved backs and oversized arms. Their face is deformed beyond all recognition and their eyes' size were greatly reduced. They tend to have white or grey skin, never have any hairs and have minuscule black eyes.

Greater kynasters are the elite of the kynaster's society. A greater kynaster can't be more different from the regular kynaster's hideous apparence. Greater kynasters are generally amphibian human-like creature, similarly to the kynasters of old. They are generally thiner yet taller than a human of similar age, the average between 6.0 ft. and 6.5 ft., the tallest can easily attain 8 feet. Generally a greater kynaster will possess long limbs, such as arms, legs and necks longer than human average. A greater kynaster, unlike Kynasters of old, greater kynasters are granted a noise and hairs (although may shave bald) but no body hair. This may be due to the outsider's genes implanted in the greater kynaster's body. Their body tend to be thin and unmuscled, making them seemingly fragile.

Yet,a greater kynaster's body rarely matter outside the virtual world (where they spend most of their time). Since every adult Greater Kynaster are encased in powerful ancients' power armor. This power armor is basically required for life support. The power armor contain many important organ and is directly fused with the greater kynaster's spinal chord. The apparence of the power armor tend to vary between each greater kynaster, but all share similar traits:

• 2 long (8 ft. long) mechanized arms with gigantic claws (each claws are about 3 ft. tall).
• A carapace and helmet covering the greater kynaster's body.
• Massive legs able to close on themselves to lower the power armor' height.
• Ironically look like a demonic frog.
