Baraku (The Nothings)

Baraku (The Nothings)

Overview
The Baraku are a race of pure evil. They are manipulative and work for the benefit of themselves, thus it shall always be, and they will do anything to get exactly what they want. The Baraku themselves, are not considered dead, yet they do not live. This is because of certain inhuman features that they may have (read down the writing). Only five Baraku are ever found in a realm at one time. They feed on pain, not for energy, but for pleasure. It will give them endless satisfaction to notice the suffering and hardship of others around them.

Telepathy
The Baraku are extremely good telepathists. However, their telepathic methods are hindered rather abruptly. They are only able to read minds with ease and to communicate through the mind. This means that they are unable to devolve someone’s mind, erase memories or cause any sort of physical damage via the mind. Communication through the mind is simple for them, as is reading another persons mind. However, reading their own mind can be more difficult, if it is wished that no one should enter. However, if someone is granted entry into their mind, they will find it is an extremely easy task to probe it, well probe what it is that the Baraku want them to see…

Dark Conjuring
This is similar to most forms of conjuring, but only with a slight twist. Conjuring normally would require an object to exist, however this form of conjuring allows the creation of something from nothing. An upside to this is that, unlike in alchemy, there is no fair trade system to abide by. The expenditure of energy however is far greater than that of alchemists, and restricts the amount of things that can be created from nothing, this leaves a maximum of three things to be made per day, and however it is very rare that all of these would ever be used.

Phase Matter
This is the ability of the Baraku to turn into ‘nothingness’. The Baraku itself actually just spreads out its body in extremely small pieces, so small in fact it would be impossible to detect by eyesight, even for those with supernatural ability. Thus they would resemble the ‘nothingness’ that people would compare them to. When they phase, they are unable to cause or recieve any physical damage until returned to their complete physical state. They are also unable to use any other form of ability, until they have returned to their complete state.

Illusions
This is the ability to cause ‘tricks’ of the mind. However, none of these illusions are able to cause any damage of any form whatsoever. They are only able to be used to make trick someone into thinking something is there. When an illusion is created by the Baraku, it spontaneously begins to take effect on all the senses, thus better for deceiving. However, the illusions are extremely restricted in the fact, that the person can not think they are in pain, or feel an imaginary pain because of an illusion. Dependant on the illusions size, a certain level of concentration must be kept by the Baraku.

Death
The Baraku, although they are humanoid in form, are not made up like a human. They are not composed of the bodily organs that a human might possess. This means they do not have a heart, lungs, stomach, intestines, kidney or reproductive organ, although they do have a brain. However, instead of these they have certain ‘sources’ known as Bikai. There are five Bikai in total which are located at odd intervals around the body. These are the five Bikai:

Bikai Number Location
1 A layer around the brain
2 The left eye
3 The right eye
4 The left palm
5 The wings / wing markings

To kill a Baraku is a simple matter. To do so you must destroy one of the Bikai. For the wings you must remove them, or the ‘markings’ from the back of the Baraku. The markings can be stabbed to kill them as well. Stabbing through the head, either of the eyes or the left palm kills the Baraku. You could also remove the head, or the left hand to kill it. Burning down to any of the Bikai can also kill the Baraku.

Wing Markings
A Baraku does not have a permanent source of wings. They are able to hide their wings in the form of markings on the back. The wings are special for each Baraku, no two Baraku’s wings are ever the same. The wings are able to give the Baraku flight, however if they are damaged, the Baraku will suffer an extreme amount of pain, this means they are not able to attack with their wings.

Other Flaws
The Baraku are unable to do any other form of magic not listed above. They have no more special gifts or abilities. This means they are not able to do magics such as elements, lightning, shadow, light, telekinetic, nature or what not. However, they are able to use energy magic, simply because their ‘Bikai’ are just energy in a certain distinct area.
The Baraku have no sense of smell, this prohibits them from finding out other races quickly.
They have an aversion to fire and light magic, without a heart they are not able to pump blood around the body. Although this may grant some boons such as not being able to take some forms of illnesses, this also means their skin is very dry and so they can burn easily. Bright lights also do lots of damage, sometimes causing the skin to catch alight.
The Baraku are unable to gain energy from eating, drinking or sleeping. This means that they must gain their energy from other methods (explained below).
Because the eyes of the Baraku are also Bikai, they are extremely sensitive, even beyond a normal form of serious sensitivity. Bright lights can cause severe irritation to the Baraku’s eyes, and if dust is caught in them then the Baraku must remove the dust, or be rendered unconscious quickly.
If you thump a Bikai area with enough force, the Baraku will be rendered unconscious. This applies for all areas where Bikai can be found. In the case of the eyes, a simple matter of dust getting into them could knock out the Baraku, leaving him unconscious.
The Baraku, because of the lack of blood take longer to heal wounds than other races. This includes that of humans. Their healing period is a super extended period of time, making them more susceptible to gaining worse wounds in the future.
In cold conditions, the body of the Baraku is affected seriously. They would not be able to survive in the cold as long as most races and instead would find themselves knocked out after being caught in cold conditions.

Gaining Energy
To gain energy, the Baraku simply just places their left palm onto the victim’s forehead. Through the bikai the energy can be gathered into the body. However, the Baraku is not able to drain all the energy of a victim, so the victim will still live, and have a considerable amount of energy to move about. Those that do magic would be restricted from using it for ten minutes, if they are alive that is.

Speed
Their speed is considered that of slightly inhuman. They are not able to move fast enough to blur, but they are able to move fast enough to be skilled.

Strength
Their strength is somewhat inhuman, however it is not considered that of a Lycan, Daemon, Sparadus or Beserker. It is above human standard, however not too far above human standards.

very good lol I told you i'd understand it x
