Homunculi

Homunculi are a humanoid race artificially constructed with Essence. They are rare, and exhibit extraordinary amount of power and have a high synergy with Essence.

Appearance
Homunculi look like normal humans. When using Essence they may alter their appearance in a variety of ways, but this is entirely superficial. Many homunculi choose not to do this, and prefer to spend the Essence for more practical uses.

History
The first homunculus was made 400 years ago, by the Great Essence Being Lorelei. Using cultivated secret knowledge, she created an functioning brain and nervous system out of Essence and implanted them into human bodies. Due to this, homunculi don't experience the loss of humanity that normal people do when they consume Essence. Instead they have an intimate and harmonious relationship with Essence. 8 of the 9 homunculi serve Lorelei, but the 9th one was made in secret by Lorelei herself.

Health and Form
The essence in a homunculi's system prevents them from getting ill or being impacted by weak poisons

Innate Essence
The homunculi has an innate essence equal to 400 mana.

Complete Essence Resistance
A homunculi does not receive any form of debuff for consuming and gaining more Essence, as their brains are made entirely out of Essence.
