"I don't think we can hide from our people's actions. And the Arkanian people have acted without thinking again and again. We have tampered with many species, Jarael. But the worst—the worst was when we tampered with ourselves. You and Camper both are artifacts of our self-destruction."

―Arkoh Adasca^[src]

Arkanian Offshoots were a sub-species of the Arkanian race produced by the famed Arkanian scientists and genetic researchers, bred to excel at specific industrial tasks such as mechanical or technical work. One particular sub-species were bred as workers for the famed Arkanian gem mines. These people had five-fingered hands and Human-like eyes. Jarael had pointed ears due to the Sephi origins of her "father," Arca Jeth. This race was especially vulnerable to minor Arkanian illnesses. The Offshoots were treated as second-class or non-citizens by the baseline Arkanians, and the question over what to do with them was termed the "Offshoot question." Arkoh Adasca planned to use Adascorp's genetic engineering expertise to solve the problem in a generation. However, his grandfather Argaloh Adasca attempted to exterminate the Offshoots with a plague that ravaged those at old age.
