Korumi

The Korumi is an Aspect, or a collection of races, whose Patron is Korum, the planet that supports all known life in Mystral.

Appearance

You can quickly tell a Korumi apart from a member of the other aspects by their sheer size. The Korumi tower over most other people of Mystral; though very rarely members of the Sarisi can beat the height of some Korumi, they will never match their mass. Korumi base coat/hide colors are usually browns, tans, grays, and sometimes greens. Their fur or other coverings are often shorter and don't do much to hide the shapes of the body beneath. The earthy colors and rugged patterns of the Korumi often give them some resemblance to boulders or other features of the terrain of Korum.

Psychology

Personality-wise the Korumi are usually very cool-headed and calm, especially as they age, though some can have very touchy tempers. A Korumi enraged is truly a force to be feared. A Korumi that makes it to their twilight years almost always has a wizened, sage-like air to them.

Physiology

The Korumi are visibly very large, but their true mass is greater than you could surmise from their appearance. Their bodies seem to be made of very dense structures that add to their mass, making them weigh perhaps 50% more than an equal volume of other creatures' bodies. Add to that that all Korumi have some innate magical ability to alter their mass further, and you can see how they can seem to be immovable objects when they want to be. All Korumi have very strong muscles to support their weight, even if their lifestyle caused those muscles to be hidden under fat. A portion of the Korumi known as the Heartdwellers have a physiology that has changed due to living deep underground, causing crystals to grow on their bodies and other changes.

Magic

All Korumi have some ability to change their own mass with magic, but the Adepts of the Korumi are able to push that further and focus it to make strikes and slams much more painful, among other things. Korumi Adepts also have some influence on the earth and can create earthquakes, shockwaves, rock spikes, or cover themselves in rock armor. Additionally, all Korumi are able to eat magical crystals to take the magic into themselves and enhance themselves in some way temporarily.
