Rezani
Thousands of years ago, during the period known to the powerful and paranoid as the Occupation, the Dharzooni Masters perfected the technique of animating non-living matter. One terrible success of their's was the Rezani, the Liquid Glass Assassin. After all this time, the creatures still function, waking from their long slumber beneath the earth to seek the hunt once again.

Typically, the creature will inhabit an area for a time, learning the ways of the locals before assuming an appearance best suited to finding prey. They were programmed in the distant past to request targets. Wanting nothing, they simply hire themselves out to whomever will simply tell them to kill someone.

A few have realized the folly of blindly following programming, and "awakened" to the notion of fine living as reward for excellent service. These greedy types often take the guise of a wealthy High Born and cultivate a following. In at least one case, this line of thinking has lead one Rezani to a minor throne in the Western Serantian region of Aegos.

That is a really cool idea.

I, er, don't have anything useful to contribute other than that compliment.

Okay... so I'll admit... there was a movie a while back that provided a bit of inspiration... can't remember the title tho... darn...

The thought that came to mind immediately was sonics. NOT to shatter - the thing's liquid glass, after all - but perhaps to act as a SPD Drain, or an Entangle, as the resonance begins to build up and interferes in the motions of the body.

would it take extra damage from diamonds or similar substances?
