Almost like the human race but bigger,stronger and faster. Many thought that all traces of magic were lost milleniums ago, but this powerful race has a very unique technology. Ariginians have magicly infused weapons and technology, and have a strangely uncanny ability to bend the laws of nature to their will. Even the basic Arignian can control nature, but their are those who feel the pull stronger then others. These unique beings are usually great champions or dangerously powerful wizards.

Because of the Arignians ability to manipulate the laws of nature their planet is very clean and they are very healthy. The Arignians have always known about space travel but have only recently begun amassing a spaceforce after their neighboring planet Daboraghan 4 sent an assault force in a first attempt to take their planet. The Arignians decided to take the next step and began amassing their forces to prepare for a full invasion of Daboraghan 4.


Bending the laws of nature(i would like clarify things)
Long ago when the Arignians first came to the planet Arignithon it was know as Trodicalpa and they were known as Battalion force 671 of the Aragnion legions. They were travelling through the Gaia sytem, unnamed at the time in a massive space fleet when an EMP bomb went off. Many ships in the fleet went down but the one carrying battalion 671 was the only one to land on Trodicalpa. When the shuttle hit many people were lost in the explosion, but the survivors were able to set up a decent camp. General Obedai was commander at the time and dispatched a scouting party to search the surounding area. The small scout party consisted of a mere 10 units and had what little weapons they could salvage from the wreckage. They had simple automatic weapons and body armor that was it. As the scouting party marched through the forest men were lost to poisinous snakes and disiese. When the scouting party was down to a only 4 members they came upon a clearing with a great tree in the centre. They suddenly heard voices in their heads and began to see horrifying things. 2 of them could not take it and quiuckly drew their weapons and ended their lives, the third was sucked into the ground until only the fourth remained. His name was Arithrin Axthral, he begged for it to stop, begged for mercy from the being that was doing this to him. Then it stopped. Arithrin rose to his and the tree spoke to him. "I have shown you mercy being, now you will do something for me. I will make you powerful, more powerful then your kind ever thought imaginable, and in return you will do as i say."Arithrin was sucked into the ground and became one with the tree. As Arithrin retured to his camp it seemed as though the trees in the forest parted for him. When he retured to the once small camp he discovered it was now no longer a small camp but a large base, he could not remember how long he was gone. As he approached the gate the two units standing guard asked him his name, he told them he was Arithrin the sole survivor of the scouting party. They denied him entry and singnaled for reinforcements, but they were no match for Arithrins raw power, he called lighting from the sky, raised spear like rocks from the ground, he made the forest come alive and strangle and absorb soldier after soldier. His new found power corrupted him, he could not stop killing, not the men,not the women, not even the children, nothing was safe from his wrath. There was but 1 woman left her name was Enddora, she cried for mercy and begged Arithrin not to kill her. Arithrin was captivated by the beauty of this young woman and could not bear to harm her. Enddora soothed Arithrins rage and they began to have feelings towards each other. Using his great powers Arithrin built a great fortress using the remnants of the base and the forest itself. They soon layed together and had a child which they named Aragathorn. Aragathorn grew strong and honed his power in his forest domain but like all young men eager to prove themselves, he yearned for more. One day not long after Aragathorn 21st birthday, a spacecraft landed in the forest. Aragathorn studied these creatures for a while in the safety of his forest home, they looked like him, only smaller and less muscular and spoke in a tongue he had not heard before. His parents had grown old but seemed even more fit then these creatures. After about a week of simply watching and trying to understand these new creatures that were in his land Aragathorn aproached them and began to converse. Aragathorn soon learned their language and tought it to his parents who remained in their palace hidden in the deepest parts of the forest. With the permission of his parents he soon tought the creatures, who he now knew as humans the skills that his father passed on to him. The task was not as easy one and required much energy and willpower to withstand the pain of becoming one with nature, many could not handle it and perished in the attempt. The long process of changing the humans drained Aragathorn quickly but he was just past his youth and growing up in the forest made him very strong. Not many survived the difficult changing process but those who did looked to Aragathorn for advice and leadership. When his father died he told Aragathorn we would be with him always in his spirit and in the wind and forest themselves. Aragathorn built his father a great hall deep in the forest to honor his father and when his mother passed on he laid her to rest beside him. He now was leader of a powerful empire that had grown in numbers since the time of the first changing. The secrets of the changing were known only by Aragathorn, but the powers they held were passed on through no longer by the changing but through childbirth with someone who already had nature inside them.

The Arignians use of magic is accuired in the womb, many months before birth. All Arignians are born with magic inside them but without proper training from a superior or Elder their ability's are close to being useless. In some odd cases an Arignian child is born with great powers that to most are only things of legend. These children are almost always destined to become great Hero's or Warlords and quite often will change Arignian society in one way or another.

The Basic Arignian civilian can manipulate the laws of nature but only in small ways such as growing food and ensuring it is always of the best quality, purifying liquids and manipulating some of the more basic elements.

Soldiers: Soldiers have received added training from their superiors and have learned to use their ability's in combat. They are able to control some of the more "wild" and unpredictable elements and are so more highly regarded upon by their people.

Generals and Commanders: Generals and Commanders have received their training from different Warlords and Champions and have the best control over the elements that can be acquired simply from training.Next to Champions and such these Arignians are the only ones capable of standing up to one or more squads on their own.

Champions, Kings, And Warlords: These Arignians are born with the magic of legends and are extremely powerful beings. These great Arignians do not require any training aside from learning to control the rage that is associated with using their powers to kill others. They do not harness their rage to make them more powerful but simply can keep themselves in control enough not to slay their own troops, and be as much of a danger to their own soldiers as their enemies. When these Warlords/Champions/Kings can learn to control their rage while using their powers for death they become a devastating living weapon on the battlefield.
