Stage 0
Newborn
Each Daruma starts its life in a small shell where it continues its development after being conceived. You could call it a pod. (: This stage is known as Stage 0.
It takes about one week for the Daruma to come out of the pod, during which time little can be done with it.
Stage 1
Adolescence
The next step in a Daruma's life is Stage 1. At this point in time they show signs of rather large difference in their features, so much so that they are now considered different species.
The most common Daruma species are the Tigris, the Lepus, and the Canis. Each has different strengths and characteristics.
Tigris are strong-willed and resilient. They are always aiming high, but due to their lack of charisma, they tend to be loners and prefer getting things done themselves.
In combat the Tigris are strong powerhouses, at times to the point of brutality, preferring physical power augmented with Kaos.
Lepus are quick-witted and unstoppable. They are always looking for action, giving them a great fondness for all sorts of sports and adventures.
In combat the Lepus make use of blinding speed and quick decisions to confuse the enemy and hit their weak spots.
Canis are social and charming, with a keen sense for art. They often strive to make their surroundings more polished and beautiful, using their unique skills for communication and charisma to get their way.
In combat the Canis are very good at manipulating their opponent, such as blurring their senses and capacity for decision.
