Physical Description: Pale-skinned humanoids with gaunt facial features and a lumbering stride, Abominations look like a cross between humans and zombies with half-rotted features doing little to disguise their undead taint within their blood.
Associated Class: Abomination’s brutal one-tracked mind leads them to become physical fighters of all kinds and styles, regardless of class. They desire a good fight.
Associated Religions: Due to their undead heritage, Abominations tend to worship a deity like Malakai due to the terror he invokes in mortal’s hearts, seeing it as their true purpose in life: to terrify the living.
History: Some question the creation of an Abomination, and they’d be right to do so. Everything about them from their birth to their very existence is unnatural. Being the sons of a zombie and a living humanoid, the union can only be achieved through dark rituals which involve magically enhancing the undead and controlling it long enough to do its deed. Once the Abomination is born (which takes all but a few hours), the female (regarded as a host) is eaten by the undead before it is killed. The Abomination as a child is then taken to safety to be raised as a tool for protection.
In Morta IV: Despite the cruelty and barbarism of the ritual being looked down upon everywhere, Abominations are only becoming more and more common over the years for unknown reasons. These zombie spawn are running free however, no longer being slaves to necromancer cults nowadays and more often than not being released to wreak havoc across the lands. This, alongside their generally unpleasant appearance, has caused a great social stigmatism towards them to grow greater over the years.
Abominations who possess more human traits than undead traits try to destroy these prejudices and seek to make people understand and accept them, though this is a tiring and pointless effort due to the decades of hate built upon by mass slaughter both done by Abominations themselves and the necromancer cults stealing women away to be used for this horrific practice.
