Camel Eaters

You may have clicked on this link because you are one of my established RPers and want to see if there's any information on either Toxin or Sawneys that you're missed that you can pick up here. Or you may have clicked because you have no clue about either and would be interested in learning about Toxin and Sawneys. Well alright then. Where to start....
Toxin:
OOC:
First used widely in an RP I did with Upper Xen, Toxin is a little concoction that I cooked up for the Camel Eating people. When Toxin is working fully it gives a Camel Eater super strength and speed. Many times they also heal much faster.
IC:
Now how does it work? Well this is rather simple. A pair of glands attached to the rib cage release large amounts of toxin into the bloodstream of a Camel Eater. Now this cause two things to happen. The adrenal glands that are attached to the kidneys start giving out bursts of adrenaline. Now this is used to clear out the blood like a purifying force. Except that right after the Toxin is released into the bloodstream the body's temperature rises. Now this particular toxin is highly affected by temperature. Anything above 98.9 degrees will cause it to break apart into separate components (that luckily when not combined are rather harmless) one of the components combines with the adrenaline and acts as a catalyst for a much stronger substance that causes the oxidaztion process to increase and the blood flow go much faster. Super strength and super speed are obtained by the hyped up adrenaline mixture and now you have regular citizens tossing around cars.
Now the pros of this are of course that it gives you a super-human edge in combat and the ability to run away.
Classified Secret
The cons are the higher temperature needed to break down the Toxin cannot be maintained. So that means short bursts at the most and the body cannot keep up with such wear and tear. So many times Toxin is only released as a last resort kind of thing.
Sawneys:
OOC:
What are Sawneys? Here's a link to the actual myth/historical basis that the Sawneys come from. http://www.oceanstar.com/horror/sawney.htm
Now as stated above Sawneys are incestuous, cannibalistic, Scottish misanthropes. Why do I have them? Well in a split from the main myth/history of the Sawney Beane Clan, they were never caught. Not for a few decades more at least. In my timeline a King of Camel Eaters encountered the Sawneys and through his own wit and engineering brought them into his service as members of Camel Eaters.
IC:
The Sawney Beane Clan has thrived in Camel Eaters since their discovery by Camel Eaters. They've long ago given up living in caves and direct incest. Instead they live in homes and houses, go to school, and usually marry their cousins. Sawneys are actually a rather large group and are officially listed as a branch of the Hannon clan. Even today though Sawneys practice cannibalism. They have their first pick of violent and depraved prisoners. As was promised to them by the Camel Eaters government 300 years ago.
More recently however after the conquering of Mexico by Upper Xen, and then the giving over of the Eastern half of Mexico to the Camel Eaters, Sawneys have found themselves being trained and bred in an area that maintains a large native Mexican population. As such more and more Sawneys are migrating to the Eastern half of Mexico.
The pros of the Sawneys are these. Sawneys are insanely loyal cannibalistic warriors that can be deployed at almost any time by the Camel Eaters government into an area that needs to be put down. Thank to their slight in-breeding they receive the beneficial mutations that seem to run rampant through all Sawneys much faster. Some of these being a cartilage based skeletal structure which absorbs much more damage than a bone based one, not to mention that Sawneys secrete six times as much Toxin as the average Camel Eater.
Classified Secret
The cons are these. Sawneys in order to maintain an equilibrium in their bodies absorb every nutrient in any given food substance. Their excrement is actually pure poison. Now this makes Sawneys really susceptable to bioaccumulation. This mean that DDT can wipe an entire Sawney population out in a few days. Though we do sometimes send some old Sawneys into an area to soak up most of the toxins so that the regular troops aren't wiped out by it.
