Anyone else want a black mage race from Final Fantasy IX?


Black mage (Final Fantasy IX)
Kuja called them black mages, dark spawn of the Mist.
—Soulcage
Black mages are autonomous, man-sized magician dolls mass-produced as weapons of war by Queen Brahne of Alexandria due to Kuja's influence. Final Fantasy IX is the only game that has black mages as a distinct race, rather than a job.

Black mages' faces are dark with two glowing eyes and they always wear the distinctive steepled hat. The most prominent black mage in the game is Vivi Ornitier, who joins the player's party in the beginning.
Black mages are created from Mist to be the soulless magical arm of their master. They are similar to the Genomes in being artificially produced organisms. Kuja's teaching Queen Brahne how to manufacture them is implied to be due to his knowledge on how Genomes are made. The Final Fantasy IX Ultimania explains that the black mages differ from the Genomes in that they are made out of Gaian elements, whereas Genomes are made out of Terran elements.[1]
