Another note: The translation talks about a new born race.

Just take a look at this picture:

If (just a possibility) this is the new race, they are obviously introducing the Arteias *wings*
But Maybe it's just a "new-born" race, like all the evil dragons/demons Shilen gave birth to

  The Kamael : Summary:
  
  - The Kamael are able to take a soul from an opponent's coprse
  to use it during a battle and to develop completly different skills
  
  - It can fully use the environment to strategize battles, which includes
  things like traps
  
  - Possible battling weapons: Great Sword (male), crossbow (female), rapier (both)
  
  - Great sword differs from the current 2 handed sword:
  It's a bigger and heavier weapon, but only male Kamael can use it.
  
  - Race characteristics and class characteristics will differ from the current 5 races
  
  - This race wakes up after 5000 years, the single wing represents some
  kind of not being able to live in peace. It also looks like upon release,
  from their period of hibernation, the new race will gradually change into
  a different form (in later updates)
  
  
  
  

  1. Soul Absorption
  Kamaels have the ability to absorb souls from a opponent's corpse and "use" this soul during the battle.
  
  2. Accumulation of Battle Ability
  Not only leveling up, they can increase special ability of battle tactics.
  
  3. Specialized Weapons.
  Great Sword, Rapier, and Crossbow will be the new weapons. Only
  Kamaels can use them effectively!

  4. Dynamic Battle Style
  Dynamic attack motions and better controlling possibilites will create more interesting fights.
  
  5. Strategy using Terrains.
  The territory can be used for your advantage, required skills will be changed to
  be effective.
  
  
  Q&A
  
  Q: What is the meaning of just one wing?
  A: Kamaels have only one wing. This means imperfection, but they will be able to defeat imperfection and receive another wing in further updates.
  
  Q: What are differences of battle tactics regarding Terrains?
  A: Certain classes of the Kamael have the ability to change the terrain and to use
  traps or differents skills depending on the height of the terrain.
  
  Q:What are the classes of the Kamael?
  A:They differ from existing races; Kamaels will have unique classes. Each class can make use of Great Sword, Rapier and Crossbow (note: female/male limitiaions - see below)
  
  Q:Are there any differences depending on sex?
  A:The selection of a female/male character will limitate your class choices!
  Male classes can only use Great Sword and Rapier, Female class can only use Crossbow and
  Rapier.
  
  Q:What are the conditions to play a Kamael?
  A: There are no specific requirements. The rumors that it's a necessity to have a Noblesse or lvl80 character in order to
  create a Kamael is wrong.
  
  Q: What does it mean 'They will awake on Apr.11th.'
  A: Players can learn more about the Kamael's origin with the coming update.
  
  Q: When will it be possible for a Kamael to get another wing?
  A: When they reached a certain level or rank, they will be able to spread their wings.
  This means that they will be able to accquire perfection in the middle of a battle (didn't
  mention about specific conditions and appearance after the transformation)
  
  Q: Can we get more information about the Kamael ?
  A: A quest will be added; this quest will explain the backgrounds of the Kamael
  and you will be able to see detailed illustrations. There are no specific requirements
  to start this quest. This will be updated simultaneously at PTS and Live
  Server. PTS has been already updated, players can look for this quest at the
  PTS now.
  
  Q: Is soul absorption similar to Onimusha?
  A: Yes. Soul absorption will happen automatically. The Kamael store strength, gained
  from a soul absorption, in order to use the skills of that soul.
  
  Q: Where is the new island of the Kamael located ?
  A: It's an isolated island that is separated from the existing L2 continent.
  
  Q: What's the meaning of Kamael's Island?
  A: It's a sealed island. Kamaels can escape there by finishing the first
  class change quest. But they can also escape before when they are qualified enough.
  Noblesse gate passes can be used for that.
  
  Q: When will the players be able to play the Kamael ?
  A: Players can play the Kamael this summer when the 'Chaotic Throne - The Kamael' has been released.
  
  
  
  
  

  
  That soul taking system is interesting, so basically they could absorb he soul of a SK and can use some of his skills ?

  The location of the soul island has been confirmed.
  
  
  

  It's a sealed island. Kamaels can escape there by finishing the first
  class change quest. But they can also escape before when they are qualified enough.
  Noblesse gate passes can be used for that.

  The new island is supposed to be the "Soul Island". The starter village is probably sealed, so that you have to do your 1st class change to leave it.

Ok this has been updated.

I would like to know if the soul absorption makes it
either possible to
1. develop completly new skills
or
2. learn skills of other races/classes

Any ideas ?

[Ryltar]

Personaly? I think that option #1 is better.

If Kamael can lern skills of other class it woudl be overpowned.Let's say Kamael killed:Titan,SK and OL.He Lerned SK Armor Mastery,Titans 2h weapon strikes(Fatal strike,Crush of doom and Armor Crush),from OL he got Soul Guard.With his defense and skill power he can kill many classes.I personali think thet they will have they own race/class skills.

Well I suppose the Kamuel will be able to absorb only one soul a time, so it will not be possible to create a overpowered skill.
However I think it will be a strong class and it might reduce the balance of the gameplay.
