CreanCreans appear much like humans, only with thick, blue skin. Their skin tones range from almost all shades of blue, though an azure or cobalt color is most common. Their eyes have no iris, the entire eye being either a deep red or jet black color. They almost always have black hair, though aside from their head they are completely hairless everywhere else. They tend to have natural, muscular forms, able to grow muscles much faster than the average human, if they so desire.

Most Populated Kingdoms:
Du Finno and Primordia (Darker shades on the map indicate higher population counts)
Creans make up 0.81% of the humanoid population on Askeron History
Creans' originate from The Du Finno Kingdom. They are known to settle and feel safest along bodies of water. They have an odd and close relationship with water, depending on it for more than just hydration or hygeine but as a mental soother and relaxer.
Creans have shifted towards extinction multiple times in the past several decades, though now they linger with a population count close to mermaids and giants.. They blame their lack of numbers on poor water quality but this is merely a myth. Over time Creans have been seen to have more and more miscarriages and a shocking drop in female births. Scientifically, it is still unknown why. |
Culture
Water
Creans traditionally worship the waters for their representation of purity, birth, and life. Without water nothing would live. Death by water is almost considered a gift, be it shipwreck, drowning, or otherwise. They are raised to seek water as a calmer, often sitting in water or soaking their feet while they close their eyes to essentially soak up the goodness and purity they believe dwells in it. When a crean acts in violence they tend to lay in the ocean as a way of cleansing themselves. Once their bodies have been soaked in water they believe their past negative actions are removed from their bodies. This does not necessarily mean they are removed of responsibility but it is more strictly a personal cleansing so that they may discover peace and contentment. Some creans will panic at the thought of not being cleansed of their bad behavior, unable to relax themselves, sleep or eat. They will punish themselves until the water cures them. When cleansed they still will accept punishment by law and from others but may personally move on from the negative events.
The miscarriage phenomenon has been largely blamed on poor water quality. Many male creans have blamed their women for not soaking in the oceans for long enough and not being properly cleansed.
They have a renowned respect and admiration for mermaids.
While these beliefs are common and traditional to the creans' existence, it is not universal. Many creans have broken away from water worship, finding contentment in other areas of life. This rebellious act is frowned upon in The Kingdom of Du Finno especially.
Relationships
With the sudden drop in female population creans have become overly protective of their women. In recent years many creans, men especially, have forbidden their daughters to marry or reproduce outside of their species. Few women have accepted or agreed to these terms, causing a clash between the men and women of many crean families. For many the concern is understandable but not justifiable.
Touch Sensitivity
Coming in physical contact with another being is considered extremely intimate. Most creans avoid physical contact with others unless they are exceptionally close and comfortable with the individual. Handshakes and hugs are a big no-no. Most of this is due to their heightened sensitivity to touch.
Creans have a much higher sense of touch than any other humanoid. While for humans the idea of this would lead to pain and uncomfortableness, creans are more naturally adapted to this sensitivity and use it to their advantage. They still prefer to avoid physical contact with others outside of intimate settings and relationships but they use their sensitivity to identify the details of many objects. They are able to feel every fiber of a material, identify cracks and broken fragments or weak spots of an object with the touch of a finger, and notice every slight wind or temperature change. At the same time they are much more sensitive to pain.
Creans also have incredible thick skin, literally. They have triple the layers of skin humans have and it is much tougher to pierce through. While pain is heightened, their bodies compensate by having extra layers of protection.
Education
There are no crean-only schools in Askeron. They almost strictly and with little trouble attend public schools. Girls are more likely to remain home schooled for an overbearing sense of protection.

Magic Abilities
Power Sensing
- A natural ability for all creans, they are able to sense and recognize the magic abilities of others.
- User scans a targeted individual using little concentration and reads their magical capabilities. They are able to know down to specifics what the target is capable of, reading their exact strength and skill in the abilities they possess.
- Scanning may take several minutes (4 to 10 minutes on average) and consistent concentration on the target.
- Scanning does not drain the user at all.
- Depending on the users' skill they may scan at greater distances from the target but most commonly they need to be within a 2 to 10 feet.
