Sanguine - - - (Sang Gwen)

"A Heart of Genetic Blasphemy"

Genosapien Bioweapon: Human in appearance, the Sanguine are walking genetic weapons factories that can absorb and process DNA by drinking the blood of other species. They are immortal, can manipulate their DNA, and infect others with customized viral DNA to achieve broad effects.

At some point during the Cataclysm, it became clear that planetary invasions stripped the food supplies of a resisting world first. In an effort to capitalize on the killing fields, a Genosapien capable of digesting blood and modifying its genomorph beyond known limitations was required to stem the Leupous/Draco tide. Dracos cloning prompted the release of the Sanguine, the blood drinkers.

They could separate genetic traits and chemicals from their intake of genetic materials to augment their own bodies, as well as redevelop lost organs and limbs, and with contact of the Elan - they came to live forever. Worse, Sanguine are very intelligent. Older sanguine develop a venom capable of changing other species into new 'lesser' sanguine.

Ancient Ones spread the rumor that sanguine could not walk in daylight (untrue) and even created subspecies that possessed this weakness to support their infiltration capabilities. In combat, Sanguine are most frequently recognized by their jet-black skin and inhuman ferocity.

The Noirnoct (dark night skin) is a trait that allows them to alter the exterior of their cells to absorb cosmic radition, withstand hard vacuum, and resist nuclear and biological attack including concussion and high energy weapons. Storage of the chemicals for this effect often leaves them very pale when the color change is not utilized. The virtually indestructable nature of this 'shell' has created the legend that they cannot be killed by mortal weapons or conventional means.
