The Vermillion and the other races by Dredle Jyr Favoriu Vermillion, great warrior-mage of the great kingdom of the Vermillion, year 140 432 of the old calendar


    The Vermillion are one of the most complex races in the world of Simiri and maybe of all the multiverse. Both the minds and the body of the members of our species have a particular way of working that no creature of this world has combined. If Dragons have might and magic then the Vermillion have might and evolution.


    The Vermillion are indeed a highly evolutive species that can adapt to any environment without leaving any quirks on the body. Vermillion who have spent more than three days without any light will develop a perfect dark-vision, not needing an ounce of light to see. Or if they spend most of their time underwater they''ll be able to breathe underwater.


    The durability of our body is also far superior to any of the other races or even monsters. For the weakest and youngest members of our society, only four hours of rest is needed to fill their energy up while some of the strongest of us don''t need to sleep for a week or even a month. Eating once every three days is sufficient for us to be healthy. And finally, our regenerative power is the best of all species alive in Simiri, we can grow back limbs in a matter of a few seconds except if it was the work of an Ancient Dragon, in which case the wound won''t heal but do note that only an Ancient Dragon is able to do that, a Dragon-newt or a Dragons of lower rank won''t be much of a threat.


    In battle, a Vermillion will never go exhausted as his stamina would go up after each kill, of course, if the opponent is of the same strength then the fight will last as long as the Vermillion can stay awake, our regenerative power does not draw its energy from our stamina and it can be said to be limitless unless we fight again an Ancient Dragon.


    The speed at which we can go can vary from several hundreds of kilometers by hour to several hundreds of kilometers by minute, of course since we get stronger as we defeat enemies our growth is limitless although most of us die fighting foes stronger than themselves as the most powerful the one you killed is the more power you''ll be given.


    The size of a Vermillion represent their power, the strongest of us, those we call the Apostles, are around thirty to fifty meters tall while the major part of our population is around ten to fifteen meters although we all use our inner energy, or Ki as the Humans call it, to bring our size to four meters maximum, most of us do that unconsciously.


    While our magic is second to only the Dragons we have our own specialty, inner energy as mentioned above, it brings our already god-like strength to even greatest height. This also allows us to infiltrate the races settlements or reproduce very easily, we Vermillion do not have a problem with homosexual relationships like the other races do, we can freely change our gender anyway.This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.


    Our highly evolutive species also has the great ability of always giving a pure-blooded Vermillion, no matter what races the parents are as long as there is one Vermillion a Vermillion will be born. It will inherit traits of the non-Vermillion parent''s race, often making them even stronger, and no matter what the Vermillion''s blood will never get thinner. The offspring of a Vermillion and a Beastman will result in a pure-blooded Vermillion with the smelling sense and ears of a Beastman.


    Our minds are also of the most particular. The way we think of existence and of life is so different from the other races that it makes us aliens to the whole world. The lack of empathy that we have for those who are not of our close ones is something most races are afraid of. A vermillion would not hesitate to slaughter like the races say, billions and billions of sentient beings and something that the races fear even more is the lack of regret we have in front of what they qualify as a massacre.


    However, the empathy we hold to those who are close to us, especially our family, is so strong than a Vermillion would lay his life down for his friends. A Vermillion will always know if someone is their ancestors or descendant because of a natural soul bound that happens at their birth, the same goes for sibling but it is however not the case for relatives like cousins and aunt, this is also why family is the most important thing in a Vermillion''s nature, we would do anything for our family, even if it meant destroying the world. The bound isn''t made naturally with the mother and the father but we still desire a connection that goes further than the one of the flesh and by doing the wedding ritual we form a bond between the two.


    A Vermillion''s personality is deeply influenced by the sin they are affiliated with, Wrath, Lust, Pride, Gluttony, Sloth, Envy, and Greed. Do note that the Vermillion affiliated to Envy are smaller than the norm but for some reasons, it does not influence their power. When a Vermillion acts in accordance with the sin he is affiliated with his power will rise.


    We have seven rulers who bear the names of those seven sins, they are the most powerful of us and they are the incarnations of those very sins.


    We also think of every race besides Dragons to be inferior to us, although their life holds the same value as a Vermillion''s in our eyes, they are simply less evolved but they are as worthless as an unknown Vermillion.


    We feel no fear and no disgust although our affiliation can make our belief change from one another.


    None of us can rebel against the Apostles, the incarnations of sins, as our blood force us to obey their will.


    Death is for us a rest well deserved in the arms of the Tytan of earth, we do not fear it and welcome it with open arms although should a close one die then an over-bearing sadness would overcome us, except in the case of Wrath where they turn berzerk.


    Another particularity of our race are the consequences of rape, first off, you cannot rape a Vermillion of Lust since they''ll en up agreeing since it is their nature but whereas a lot of the races''s women or even men would feel dirty and sullied by said rape a Vermillion wouldn''t feel anything, except if they are from Wrath in which case the rapist will end up pretty badly, but in other cases the one being raped will not feel anything, being disgust, pleasure, that feeling of dirtiness, no their emotional and physical response shut down, as a mean of defence, until it is finished?


    Our race still holds many secrets that have yet to be uncovered but I fear now is not the time. I must once again take arms and fight till the bitter end like a Vermillion does, the Apostles have called for us.
