The Claymore
T
hey appear to be fully human, save for their
silver eyes and unusually light-colored hair.
Certain individuals may have elf-like ears
The most common hair colors are varying
shades of blonde or very light brown; silvery-
white is also occasionally seen. "Failed
creations" may retain very noticeable traces
of their natural hair color; however, this is due to faulty
hybridization, which also results in a lack of power. Darker
hair therefore is a quality that is looked down upon and
ridiculed by more fair-haired warriors. .
Stigma
A Claymore's upper body also bears a stigma, a hideous
deformation that frightens most people who see it. This is
said to be a result of taking Yoma flesh into their bodies.
The stigma itself takes the form of a large vertical incision
extending from the neck all the way down to the groin and,
without the aid of sutures, would burst open, causing the
warrior's organs to spill out. once the Yoma flesh and blood
are placed inside, the claymore gains the ability to heal
rapidly and, in the case of defensive warriors, regenerate
whole limbs and organs. However, this particular wound
would never heal. The Organization has tried numerous
other methods other than crudely sewing the wound shut,
but all efforts have been futile
Demonic appetite
Claymores can survive on minimal amounts of food,
needing only to consume a very small portion once every
couple of days, and can easily go a week without water or
nourishment. This loss of appetite appears to be a result of
taking in Yoma flesh; Yoma are capable of staving off
hunger for up to two weeks on end
Demonic Eye
Claymores' eyes are the only visible characteristic that
undoubtedly sets them apart from regular humans. The
irises are normally silver in color, but shift to gold when at
least 10% of a Claymore's yoki is released.
Organization Uniform
Claymores wear a Roman army-like uniform,
stylized in an Art Deco manner. It consists of a
light gray two-piece suit, When a Claymore is
deemed ready by the Organization, she is given a
rank and symbol. Each Claymore's symbol is
unique and serves as an identification marker.
Some Claymores are known only by their ranks
and symbols, rather than their appearances. Over
top of this, several pieces of plate armor are
worn: shin-high, slightly heeled metal boots
(sabatons), large wrist-guards (vambraces),
shoulder pieces (pauldrons) and a partial skirt
(fauld). Certain Claymores may have
modifications to their overall uniform to help
compensate for unique abilities.
Claymore Names

before ingesting Yoma, with some having nicknames due to
a personality trait, appearance, exceptional physical ability,
fighting style, or special technique.

Claymore Types
Defensive Claymore
While noy physically strong as their offensive counterparts,
defensive types possess remarkable self-healing abilities.
Regenerated limbs are equal in strength to the originals.
An extreme example of a defensive type Claymore is able to
regenerate lost limbs and heal from non-fatal injuries
within minutes, even during a fight. While defensive types
can heal more quickly and from more serious wounds than
their offensive counterparts, certain injuries can still be
fatal or remain permanent should they remain unattended
over a long period of time. for instance, One cannot regain
a limb lost years ago. Healing also stems from the
Claymore's individual skill, thus, unskilled defensive types
are unable to regenerate much faster than offensive types
without outside assistance.
Ability Score Increase Your constitution score increases
by 1.
Regenerative cells: Focusing your yoki on wounds, you
can speed up your regeneration. You can spend a bonus
action to directly trade your Yoki points in exchange for
health points.
Hit Die 1d12
Hitpoints at 1st level: 1d10+constitution modifier.
Hitpoints at higher levels: 1d10 + your Constitution
modifier per Claymore level after 1st
Offensive Claymore
Offensive types are capable of more powerful attacks than
defensive types, but at the cost of significantly reduced
regenerative ability. Offensive types are typically much
slower and weaker to recover from serious injuries than
defensive types and regenerated limbs are only equivalent
in power to that of normal humans. However, they can
reattach recently severed limbs, including those of another
Claymore. In spite of their limited healing capabilities,
offensive types are still able to recover from injuries that
would unquestionably kill a normal human being. The
degree of healing depends on the severity of injury and the
individual Claymore's ability of Yoki control.
Ability Score Increase: Your strength score increases by
1.
Quick sword: You gain access to the quick sword
technique, focus Yoki into your arms and attack with a
supernatural speed. When attacking you can spend 4
yoki points to strikes 3 times on the enemy. The number
of strikes can be increased by spending 1 more yoki
point per strike. This can only be done while wielding
your claymore in one hand.
Hit Die: 1d10
Hitpoints at 1st level: 1d10+constitution modifier.
Hitpoints at higher levels: 1d10 + your Constitution
modifier per Claymore level after 1st
