An image for something like that is gonna be hard to find.

I may have to draw it, actually. My greatest fear >:(

Awesome! The sheet is looking sexy.

And at th moment, i'm still in the process of looking for a picture that properly captures them, but imagine what would happen if you mixed a Predator, a Space Marine and every single 'eldritch' race in sci-fi. They're large humanoids (about 8ft) donning strange armour; flitting in and out of the physical realm with such blinding speed that they appear only as an outline of ethereal smoke at times. They are ferocious, and get in your face so fast that most characters won't have time to react before getting sliced in half. Hence creative tactics.
But yeah, i'll update you when I find a suitable image.

The Arakath's concepts remind me of the Antarans/'New Orions' from the Masters of Orion Strategy Series and to a lesser extent, the near rat spreading Grox from Spore. Disgustingly intelligent, albeit expansive civilizations that are hell-bent on repopulating 'their galaxy' ...

No, no. The Arakath are pretty much an extinct species by this point. They number about 12-20 at present. Though because this RP is based in a universe which I created for another RP back in the days of the old guild, there is quite a bit of fluff concerning them, their culture and ideologies and motives. I will tell you now that they aren't evil for the sake of being evil; in fact, evil is entirely subjective. They might not be the evil ones...

...you might be.

Synthorian said I really want Sirius to kill an Arakath by crushing it's head with his massive fingers.

Mmmmm. That would be entertaining to see, but I wouldn't advise engaging one in close combat. Or just.. you know, in general unless they were already severely weakened. taking one out will require creative tactics - it's absolutely essential. As a finisher, i'd love to see it, but if that sort of attack was attempted while the Arakath was at full fighting strength, i'd expect Sirius, despite his size, to probably have every limb liberated from his body before he hit the ground.

Still though, that's totally gonna be your player achievement now you mentioned it

I have to hope not, and assume Ethereal is used in a different context. Though I will mention it now just in case that that is what s happening: Arakath are the enemy! Can't be PCs unfortunately. That'd be way too easy

Sorry i've been a bit slow on that. Had a few things come up but that all checks out. Looking awesome so far! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Starfall | Below A Thousand Shadows

Bloody hell, that's a mighty CS. I'll get to checking it out tomorrow when i'm back from work if that's alright!
