Original picture belongs to Chalos.
This is more a "Sandbox profile" The sizes can go from to 5 inches to 5 feet, and they're able to be digested IC w/o Perma.
At the end of the scene the sapien can be added to your profile, this mostly for evolving characters in that regard.
Background gif is the mountain leading to the Seraphian Isles, hidden by the enternally cloudy skies.
Open for just about anything, gimme a PUB or a whisper if you like what you read.
Now I ain't saying this idea is discontinued, but~! they're evolving one last time, still open for stuff. Here's their final draft
Sapiens with a sound mind are always curious about the world about them. When they start off, they are immensely curious, big groups of them able to be found in libraries. They'll wander into dangerous situatious, and can bribed into doing horrible things as "Learning experiences".
Sadly this leads to another "weakness": their knowledge often seeming cruel and brutal; they refuse to lie, even when it's expected by society. "An ideal being would be willing to accept the truth, for better or for worse, and use it to better themselves."
When they gain a partner, this can lead to them being incredibly insensitive at times, refusing to have secrets kept amongst themselves. To them you, hiding things from them is to say: "I don't trust you". This lack of trust will make them leave, forsaking them for another person to aid.
In the end, sapiens with a strong mind want to run throughout the world with nothing but the wind at their back. Their biggest desire is simply to be free, free to know.
Sapiens who focus on their body at a glance, seem stupid. They seldom ask questions, and are content with a basic understanding of the things going on around them. Their speech is often blunt, and are quick to cut people off if they seem to be rambling or going off on a tangent.
The main thing they focus on is maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and balancing their diet. They'll often be found in Grocery stores, staring at boxes for the nutrition labels; if not there, they'll be located in the mountains, toning their body by lifting and eating rocks.
Their flaw is a dangerous one; while they rarely speak, they're always silently judging others. Earth sapiens are quick to take matters into their own hands; this frequently puts them at odds with the law, lacking the mental gymnastics and the patience to let them do their job properly.
They'll often attack "unprovoked", especially if the person they're judging is someone they personally dislike. If you recruit one as a partner, you'll know you have good friends if they aren't being eaten by week's end; they'll have past their test, allowed to live.
Sapiens with a compassionate soul are the most frequent and easiest to be found. Wherever there is sorrow and despair, they weep tears so others can dry their own. They often can be found in hospitals and law enforcement agencies; their ability to create humidity in the air and conjure waters makes them a boon for firemen.
The most in tune with others' feelings, when the world is calm they seem to vanish; divers claim they've seen swarms of them at the bottom of the ocean, meditating. If a Soul sapien both visible AND panicked, it's a sign there's genuine peril nearby.
Their flaw is only noticed when you intently watch them. They're main desire is to ease the sorrows of the people around them; however if none is to be found they get twitchy. Many people have claimed Soul sapiens are sadistic and narcisistic; they're only truly happy when others are miserable, and lean on the sapien for emotional support.
They are loved and also despised, at the end of the day; they just want to feel appreciated. In times of genuine despair, they'll do whatever they can to help; however predators have learned to take advantage of that.
The last group are sapiens with a passionate heart. They wear their heart on their sleeves, and this heart is quick to bleed as a shirt is quick to tear.
People automatically fear fire, so they're constantly looking for a chance to burn bright and proove themselves.
In the morning they're all smiles; wandering in massive groups, quick to help people with literally anything. At night they're often scattered about, their wide eyes glowing like fiery embers. Those looking for a partner often get Passionate sapiens as guardians or nightwatch.
Their ultimate flaw is often debated as their biggest strength; whatever they do, they do it with passion. They don't think for more than a few seconds, and never question if they have the strength to perform their task; to them, determination is more than enough.
They have a fragile self-esteem; if it means being praised and remembered, they'll gladly go out in a blaze of glory. This fierce desire can even blind them, predators able to guide them into attacking others if it means proving their worth.
1.
This supply CAN run out however, and to replenish it they need to feed on magic; this also makes them impervious to magic attacks. They never mention this, but they can feed on people and their souls to replenish their magic as well; and doing so will even strengthen their scales
2.
This is also why Nanosapiens can be soft and squishable one second, and hard as a rock the next, an extertion of mental will.
Through this they can peform elemental amplification, elemental shape shifting, elemental generation, or elemental projection. For example An Earth sapien with a strong body can shapeshift their body into stone/wood/steel. Water sapiens can amplify humidity in the air to create water. Fire sapiens can project fire from within themselves out of their mouths. Meanwhile Wind sapiens are skilled at generating winds from their fast movements. ALL of them however can tear holes in space/time, allowing them to enter other worlds and dimensions.

They're meant to be for blade to blade combat or gathering resources, if they cut into exposed flesh the victim is effectively "cursed"; the nanocells will get their bloodstream like a poison, turning THEM into crystal as well.
4.
This is also what inadvertantly happens when predators eat a sapien, their scales getting digested and absorbed; if they hold a grudge a Sapien can force the crystal scales to rapidly grow inside them, forcefully breaking the bond before the predator can eat them a second time.
When sapiens are ready to settle down, they can use this technique to create villages. They plant crystals into the ground and by controlling their growth to form buildings, they're able to form simple huts to colossal skyscrappers.
5.
If they couldn't before, fused sapiens can use "combined spells" like magma or magnet. Two or more sapiens can also reproduce this way, taking 1/4th of their cells to form a new sapien that shares their combined atrributes.
