Bloodlines: Earth BendersIn the body politic of humanity at large, there are virtually infinite variations. It amazes other species to no small extent how many combinationsthere are within the general parameters of one head, two arms, two legs, ten fingers, ten toes, two eyes. 0f course, there are the rare humans whofall outside this categorization, but they almost invariably mutants and thus no longer technically human, or mules and unable to pass along theirgenetic variation.Then there are those groups of humanity called bloodlines bloodline is an extended family of genetically similar people who share physicaland psychological traits that set them apart !um humanity at large, but are still not far removed enough to be considered a new species. The mostcommon source of a bloodline is multigenerational inbreeding "very common among most animal species#, closely followed by the supercedenceof a dominant genetic trait, thus refining and concentrating all features of that bloodline$$both for good and for ill. The creation of a newbloodline is rare indeed, for it ta%es a bare minimum of several centuries for one to form and can ta%e as long as millennia& this explains whythere are only perhaps a dozen bloodlines in the world today.This wor% chronicles and explains the origins and abilities of the "comparatively# recently created family bloodline %nown as' (arth !enders

Elemental Earth "o#er A ilities $ntroduction:The !ender can specialize in any of the five maMor elements' air, earth, fire, void, and water. *owever, it is difficult to specialize in more than oneelement, and ta%ing even one level in a second element prevents the !ender from ta%ing the ultimate power of any element. (ach element has sixpowers that can be ta%en after reaching a specific number of levels in that element, but none of these abilities need to be ta%en, instead the !ender

can ta%e a bonus that is uni@ue to that element.

24= Q-ic!san&:This power enables the character to transform normal earth, stone, or concrete into a pool of @uic%sand4gravel. Ideal for combat outdoors or inbusy streets. Faturally this cannot be created in buildings above ground "unless they happened to be made entirely out of stone4earthen materials#.Dange' The size of the circular @uic%sand pit is a maximum of Cm in diameter, and can be cast up to 0m away plus m per level of experience.t moving or were traveling under /2%mph.

9hen this power is engaged, streams of superheated magma erupt from the character>s fingertips, spraying out at the target in a wide arc, burningand setting fire to any flammable obMects it hits. The magma also stic%s to whatever it hits and will do half damage to the victim for /dC / meleesafter the last blast. If three melee actions are ta%en to sha%e it off the character can avoid the consecutive damage.

Dather than a volcano, the character can elect to ma%e a lava tube erupt, crac% in the earth brea% open and lea% magma, or whatever the characterwishes, as long as it falls within the dimensions and effects of the power. -or example, a crevice would be : ft wide per level and /0 ft long perlevel ? the lava will well up and spread rather than explode out in a shower, etc.

Those suc%ed into the pool suffer from the same penaltiesdue those immersed in @uic%sand, but at the same time suffer the listed damage. This can also be used on asphalt and concrete "or any artificalearth? derived substance#, but has half the duration.

2 = Mer.e 'ith Ma.ma "r earth: The character can merge into an existing poc%et of lava or magma, merging with the substance and traveling through it or hiding within it. s amode of travel, it is slow and difficult, and consists of following the lava down the tubes into the mantle, and bac% up again through the crust andonto the surface. : %m run becomes an epic P0 %m Mourney. *owever, it is not expected and, if given time, can enable a character to reachplaces no one would suspect. s a means of hiding or evading, it is unparalleled. -ew people draw close enough to a magma intrusion to get agood loo% anyway, and the character is virtually invisible within the mix. )haracters can move through magma at one tenth of their normalrunning speed.

3;= Ra&iate Heat: The character can act as a portable furnace to generate heat when they are on fire. The heat either radiates around him or around one particulararea in which he has fixed his gaze. This power is typically used to warm an area from cold and dampness or to ma%e an area uncomfortably hotand distracting.Dange' *eat can be radiated up to :m /m per level of experience. The area most affected is a Cm diameter around the area of heat or thecharacter, whichever he4she chooses.
