Race: Silver
Ambassador: Kagamine
Lifespan: Anywhere from 5-10x the lifespan of their original species.
Silvers are a rather unique race in the sense that they are, technically, a collection of races, all of which have acquired a unique trait called silver blood. Though, silver blood is not technically a hereditary trait. It can only be passed from one being to the next by letting a sample of one silver’s blood, however small, enter another creature’s body somehow, whether by injection, ingestion, or any other means. Once the silver blood enters the body, it turns the rest of the blood silver, and with that, the vast array of powers that come with silver blood. While it is unknown where exactly silver blood originated from, it spreads the most amongst wild animals, so nearly all silvers start out as some sort of animal. It is also a likely assumption that they started amongst animals, as many of the powers revolve around wildlife.
Silver blood provides the owner with powers ranging from a lengthened lifespan, flight, superb strength/speed, teleportation (only to places the silver can picture in their minds), and, most interestingly, the ability to clearly understand all foreign tongues, including those belonging to other species, such as other animals. However, this ability is far less useful than it could be, due to the fact that it only works one-way. In order for two creatures of entirely different tongues to actually carry on a conversation, they would both have to be silvers. Though, one power that the silvers have which is likely the most convenient is the ability to transform into any other being they are familiar with, with the exception of anything superhuman. Therefore, this lets a silver transform into any animal (that they are familiar with), or a human. Though, a human, or any other, form has to be consciously upheld. So, for example, a silver animal in disguise as a human cannot keep up their disguise while, say, asleep. The blood also brings increased intelligence over time, bringing whatever creature inherited the silver blood up to par with human-level intelligence over a number of years.
However, their blood is not only associated with their powers but also their overall strength after becoming a silver. Blood loss is their biggest weakness. In fairly large amounts, it can drain the strength of their powers and leave them helpless (not to mention the effects blood loss tends to come with). Though even in small amounts, even the tiniest open wound can pose as a problem, as it creates opportunity for yet another creature to gain the blood’s power, which, of course, can have all sorts of consequences, especially considering virtually any being can become a silver. Not just animals, but also humans, and, virtually any other superhuman creature.
