Strongman

Strongmen are a subspecies of human who live primarily on the Hesperides Archipelago and can be found in small communities across Willick.

Appearance and Behavior
Differing very little from their human ancestors, strongmen typically have long pointed ears, are taller than average, the tallest usually being almost seven feet, and tend to have silvery or blue eyes.

They are solitary and shy toward others who are not strongmen and are the most docile of all the human races. The defining trait of their species is that they live in very close family groups which are in even closer friend groups. All strongmen are naturally driven to be architects, construction workers, stone masons, and interior designers, making their own homes and furniture to trade with each other.

However, on Arethusa, a lot of their drive have changed over time. They prefer friendly wrestling, fishing, and competitions of climbing, endurance, and stamina.

Abilities
The biggest defining strength of a strongman is their ability to lift and move heavy objects. Some strongmen can even lift up to 3000-3500 pounds if practiced enough and in order to compensate their bones have become much harder and stronger than any other species'. This leads to them being hard to injure and even harder to kill.

Strongmen typically live around 150 years, the longest recorded being 170.

Reproduction
Typical human pregnancy of 10-11 months. Twins are rare.

History
The strongmen split off from the humans many thousands of years ago and remained secluded and undiscovered until Willick crashed upon the shores of Aigle approximately 200 years ago.

Vola once tried to absorb the strongmen into their territory as soldiers, only to fail when none of them reacted, tried to fight back, or even tried to learn how to fight. Instead, the archipelago has become an official part of Willick.
