Esterm's Races - Gemini

The most physically adept – the Gemini are a force to be reckoned with.

Gemini -

Often referred to as having hides of steel, the Gemini are the toughest of the tough in Esterm. A Gemini’s rock-toned skin is incredibly thick and durable and is always encased with a shell of crystal stalagmites. This almost impenetrable defense, is one of the Gemini’s most incredible assets and is what makes them almost impervious to the heat within Zetaru and the conflicts they brawl themselves into. Their strength is rarely outmatched in the physical department, and it is measured by the bulk of their build and how many crystals they sport. There has always been a connection to their strength, through how many crystals they display. This is often said to be because they are a naturally produced form of magos, and so, are the source of a Gemini’s strength.

Although fiercely built and rather formidable warriors, the Gemini have never been out for war or conquest. They share a code of honour which they stick to – which is that they only ever want to fight fair fights where both sides thirst for a clash. Such a view is subjective however, depending on an individual Gemini’s strength and situation, but regardless they often only fight under the roof of their arena within Zetaru, where they face challengers, each other or Hyjinxes. Their combat style usually involves dangerous punches and imposing uses of their jaws, lined with stalagmite-like teeth. Most familiarly, the Gemini like to use their body like a makeshift cannon ball, as they are able to propel themselves into a dangerous wrecking ball of terror, similarly to an Armadillo.

The arena of the Gemini, often referred to simply as ‘The Pit’, is their most favoured form of sport and entertainment. This arena is also the method of how they elect their leader, through the Gemini who comes on top, that is, assuming it is a Gemini that wins. Currently their leader is a Gemini by the name of Veru, a hearty guy who likes to mingle with anyone with the courage to talk to him. Infact he is so out-going that he often forgets his status and his duties which also makes a lot of people question how such a person won the tournament in the first place.
