Homo magi are a subspecies of meta-humans gifted at utilizing and performing magic.[1]
History[]
Early history[]
Arion, grandson of Vandar Adg and the lord of Atlantis, was at some point in his reign gifted a crown from the Lords of Order themselves, who had come to see the potential for chaos in Earth's predominant life form. As a precaution, they made Arion their agent of order on Earth and the crown's potent magic allowed Arion to be capable of powerful magical feats of his own. In time, the magic of the crown infused with Arion's very being and as a result would lead to the creation of a new bloodline of meta-children with a genetic predisposition for magic, the Homo magi, who lived in Atlantis in harmony with Varl's Homo meta and common Homo sapiens.[1]
Some 200 years after the first appearance of the Homo magi, the new subspecies of magical humans was nearly wiped out when the Atlantean civilization was virtually destroyed in a cataclysmic event that saw the entire Atlantean continent collapse into the ocean. The disaster was caused by the Lord of Chaos, Klarion, at the behest of Vandar Adg, now going as Varl'jat, who correctly hoped and theorized the cataclysm would activate the latent Meta-Gene within Atlantis's citizens. A small number of Homo magi did in fact survive, their meta-abilities having indeed activated to allow their survival underwater, inadvertently forming another subspecies of now aquatic humans, Homo mermanus. They and their descendants would continue to have an affinity for and practice magic to further adapt to underwater life all the way to the present day.[1]
Biology and abilities[]
From a biological standpoint, Homo magi individuals are essentially indistinguishable from regular Homo sapiens. The distinguishing characteristic of members of this human subspecies lies in Homo magi individuals having an inherent genetic affinity for wielding magic. A human does not need to be Homo magi to use magic, but it is very helpful, especially to perform at a high level.[2]
