Blood alchemy

Blood alchemy is a type of magic that is no longer practised due to the knowledge of it being lost. The only ones known for sure to have been practising it are the ancient Originals who are now extinct. They used Blood alchemy to create super soldiers who where stronger, faster and generally more powerful then regular original humans. After the great collapse, the originals where almost brought to extinction and the ones who survived to edventually evolve into Hopians, Elves and Zen-kai where diffirent groups of uniquely specialized super soldiers, super engineers, super athletes and so on.That is why the originals where not as strong as modern day Humanoids.
