"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]

Offshoots were a sub-species of the Arkanian race produced by the famed Arkanian scientists and genetic researchers. One particular sub-species were bred as workers for the famed Arkanian gem mines. These people had five-fingered hands and Human-like eyes—sometimes even pointed ears. Unfortunately, they were 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 attempted to exterminate the offshoots with a plague that ravaged those at old age.
