Just a Notepad document with lots and lots of silly notes

Notes on astral plane:

The basics of that being that, after death, souls enter a period of... a sort

of second life as a ghost, and during then, they get to continue wandering

the physical world, but without the ability to interact with it as they wish
[11:10:00 PM] J.C. the LEGEND: i.e. someone has to invite them into it, like

a summoner ornecromancer or something like that
They get reincarnated as a new being if they happen to die during that ghost

stage, which doesn't really happen naturally, and although it's harder for

physical beings to hurt them, ghosts killing each other is about as simple as

it is for the living to kill each other

[11:17:13 PM] Ampooch: also, is it like two sides of the same existence or

parallel locations?
[11:17:26 PM] J.C. the LEGEND: Two sides of the same existence



Notes on races:

Current races & alignment:

Angelic - Electric
Demonic - Poison
Sylph - Wind
Lucid - Water
Ignis - Fire
Dullahan - Earth
Soulmech - Metal
Werebeast - Dark
Demi - Light

Types shared among races:
~ Sylph - Flying
~ Lucid - Amorphous
~ Dullahan - Undead
~ Soulmech - Robot

Possible ideas for other races:

Mandrake - Basically mini-Ents, mushroom men, something like that; Wood

aligned
Cryptids - artificially created race made by the Azure Library; Dark or

Poison aligned
Humans - those who wanted nothing to do with their brethren that were

becoming Soulmech; Wood aligned
Sahagin - Fish-like race; Water aligned
Fryst - just about established already, dwarf-like race, Metal-aligned

Need a Wood-aligned race

Werebeasts will be Dark-aligned; instead of turning those they attack into

werebeasts, will have ability to inflict curses and such





Notes on tech:
Low class - steam-powered
High class - magitech

Transportation - boats should be widespread, even ones that aren't based on

any sort of technology; cars might be limited to middle-high class +;

airplanes will be rare if they even exist




Notes on George:

Weapon ideas:

~ Heat-aligned sword
~ Steam-powered fists (maybe even arms?)
~ Hammer

Basises for George's durability & strength - George should be able to resist

heat capable of melting commonly used metals, while he should be able to

break boulders with a punch

If this is used, might be good to determining similar stats for characters in

general - not sure how to determine his speed


Heat abilities will be fire/water aligned, depending on if he is raising the

temperature or lowering it, respectively; alternatively, he might also have

access to wind-type abilities this way
Remember that he also still uses Flows




Notes on Elizabeth:

Current story doesn't work at all

Possible stories:
Member of the "Azure Library", which is basically the main organization for

research, both scientific and magical
Newbie, initially joins George to figure out how monks live and view the

world, ends up helping him find his teacher as a resource of information


Support character a la P4G Rise, can use buff spells to help the other two's

effectiveness
As far as offense goes, while she isn't the most solid fighter, she can use a

magic sword to cover her in more angles than most weapon users, and she has

access to some spells - maybe Earth and/or Wood, which would coincide with

her defensive emphasis, and also open up the possibility for barrier-type

moves




Notes on Agape:

Need to add movement-hindering statuses, i.e. Sleep, Slow, Stun, Trap, and

Blind

Also consider proper attacks - outside of vanilla shots, she has Wind and Ice

[water] attacks; maybe switch Ice for Electric, since George already has

access to that



Notes on power levels:

*George

Capable of at least resisting heat capable of melting stone

"assuming george is made entirely out of stone, he would require 0.075 tons

to melt... so, for every 0.075 tons of TNT would be this many times more heat

resistant than stone. so say 7.5 tons would make him 100 times more heat

resistant than stone"

for weakest level (0.075t/75kg)
Firepower - Small Building level
Striking Power - Class K

For strongest level (7.5t/7500kg)
Firepower - Large Building
Striking Power - Class M


Averages for stats:

Strength/Durability (physical) - Class K
Strength/Durability (magical/non-physical) - Small Building
Speed/Reaction time - Sonic




Party layout:

Agape in front

George in middle

Liz in back


Agape is statuses & ranged attacks; due to her speed, is safe for approach
George is close-range damage + durability; covers closer enemies, and can

help defend Liz, who is generally a weak link for the team
Liz is buffs + scans, so she gets to sit in the back like every support ever





Notes on a new setting concept:

astitva is actually a form of purgatory - created due to the large amount of

death on earth
it serves on the principle of karma and reincarnation - how a person did in

life determines where they end up in Astitva, and how they do in Astitva

determines what will happen when they die again and return to earth


two versions of astitva - "good" side and "bad side" - despite not really

being alternate dimensions, they cannot normally interact, and despite not

being of different races, different factors determine what side and race you

will appear on and be

soul stream is the connection between earth & astitva - a sort of soul

highway, transferring the souls of the deceased from earth to astitva, and in

the event they die again, it transfers their soul back

a mediator (maybe 3 - fates?) keeps watch over the soul highway and judges

where a soul goes and what form it will take

will probably have to divide races based on virtues & vices as a result -

that'll be fun with ten races for what's usually divided by 7

might have to buff up setting if this is the case (sorry recolor-sama)






**** New Ideas/Updates ****


Technology:


Steam - maybe not as good as originally thought; one can probably come up

with more itneresting scenarios, and probably a lot easier if sticking with

modern +

Have technology be mostly modern, but concentrated in only a few areas; prime

examples being the homes of the Angelics, Demonics, Slyph - maybe/probably

more

Transportation - Still kind of divided on this. Boats would clearly be the

most common form of transport - will probably have to introduce quite a few

things concerning them. Still not sure at all about vehicles like cars or

buses, let alone airplanes. Maybe the party just travels on foot because they

feel like it?
Well, probably could add a bias against technology in The Way - not too hard

to explain in their case, it'd be due to technology separating them from the

gods by reducing their need for magic. It'd at least explain George and

Hegel.

Power - Going back to looking at energy islands - at least to me, it makes

sense that a world mostly covered in water is going to look into power

systems that allow them to take advantage of that water, right? Hydroelectric

dams and tidal turbines should also probably be included if this is the case;

maybe Astitva can be a green example for the rest of everyone or something.
Most realistic set-up, as far as I can tell, would be to have mostly dams and

turbines, with a small amount of energy islands for the bigger areas in

Astitva.

Resources - Lots of mining. At least, my ignorant mind isn't too sure how

else they'd get resources. Maybe they can fish them up off the bottom of the

sea or something.
Astitva will probably have quite a lot of forest, so wood isn't necessarily

in short supply. Unless you're in a heavily populated island. For certain,

the fact that there's not too much land would exacerbate the loss of land,

for a variety of reasons.



Magic & Souls:

Just redefining what souls and bodies are like in my setting:
1. The soul. This is essentially a life battery, giving the body an initial

source of energy, both life energy (LE) and spirit energy (SE). LE is obvious

enough; this is what keeps your vital functions working and generally keeps

you alive. SE is a secondary source of power; although it can work simply as

backup for your life energy, it is extremely common for all forms of life to

use it to perform magic. Any being with a soul is capable of magic as a

result, and many beings know certain spells by instinct. Souls are inherently

spiritual, and as a result, require something physical (i.e. a body) to

interact with the physical world.
2. The body. If the soul is a battery, the body is like an electronic figure;

it needs a soul to truly live. However, by tehnicality, everything can be

considered a body; anything can become a vessel for a soul, even if it may

not be able to do much with it. Bodies are the physical half to the spiritual

soul, allowing it to be brought out of the astral plane and into the

physical.

Going off of these ideas, it is perfectly possible to transfer souls to

objects that normally do not contain souls, since everything physical is

technically a body. This is mainly done using the art of Magichange, which

uses magic to move a soul out of one body and into another. This means that

one can place their soul in a variety of objects, ranging from weapons like

swords or guns, to objects like stones or water, or even to other living

creatures. However, magichange isn't a particularly "natural" magic, and

requires a ton of work and concentration to perform properly. This is

because, if one doesn't know how to do it properly, the results can be quite

fatal, killing their body and just placing a now-empty soul inside a random

pot. A proper magichange does more than this; it transfers the soul, mind,

and voice of the caster, allowing the object to take on their properties, and

allowing the person to continue interacting with the outside world. In terms

of combat, a magichanged weapon needs to be able to allow the wielder to use

their abilities as if their own;not only is this a much more complex piece of

spellwork, but if not done correctly, then the caster runs the risk of

letting their wielder access not just their powers, but their mind as well.

Types of magic:

* Spell - Spells are the term used for "natural" magic. This refers to magic

that any living being, including beasts or monsters, may know from instinct.

Spells are quite common, as much research has been put into them, and they've

proven to be quite effective; they are almost instant and require little SE

to use. They are normally tied to one of the ten basic elements, and as a

result, are fairly basic. The range of strength vary quite greatly, but more

often than not, the natural ability isn't particularly high level. The

ability must be worked on, like a talent, if one wishes to make it stronger;

generally speaking, however, it is naturally known at the level most useful

for that living thing. Common levels are tiers 1 to 3.
Examples:
Fire
Lightning
Bubble

* Rituals - Rituals are the term used for more complex, learnt magic, such as

magichange. Rituals are capable of bending the usual rules and standards set

by Spells, allowing one to do things that supposedly shouldn't be able to be

done; however, as a result, they are often much more difficult to use and

require a lot of preparation and careful casting. While Rituals aren't really

divided into tiers, like Spells are, they do tend to generally be stronger.


"Life" in this setting refers to anything that has a body with a constant

source of SE. Going by this, those who live in the Astral Plane aren't alive,

since they are just souls, and lack bodies. It also means that plants are

alive, since although they lack souls, they pull SE from the planet, and thus

have a constant source of SE. And surprisingly, magichanged objects count as

being alive, since they do have a soul and objects are technically bodies.


Astral Plane:

The Astral Plane is a sort of afterlife, and is home to most of the souls in

Astitva. It is the spiritual side of the world, where those who lost their

bodies while in the physicl world live.

The Astral Plane is effectively a mirror copy of the Physical Plane; not an

alternate dimension, but another side of Astitva. The Astral Plane, in terms

of land and sea, is the same as the Physical, and even shares the same

locations and people. There are also a few locations that only exist in the

Astral Plane.

Residents of the Astral Plane are simply souls. From the Astral Plane, they

cannot interact with the Physical, and with the exception of their natural

world, they simply have no control over the other world. These beings,

however, can watch what happens in the physical, so it should not be

surprising for them to at least have an understanding of what is happening on

the other side.

Interaction between the two worlds can be described as such:
1. Different planes
This is comparable to trying to punch the air. Yeah, you're technically doing

it, but you're not really hitting anything. Between the two planes, physical

and astral beings cannot interact at all, even if astral beings can see the

physical world.

2. Physical Plane
When an astral being is in the Physical Plane, they still cannot physically

interact with the world. You cannot touch an astral being, just as they

cannot touch you. However, they become visible, and can be spoken to. On top

of this, they can obtain the ability to interact with the physical world by

possessing an empty body, or if they're more malicious and quite powerful, a

living being. While it's normally impossible for an astral being to possess

one of the races (animals are more likely), there are plenty of substitute

"bodies" in the world for them to take over. As a result, in areas where

races fear visitors from the other world, many precautionary Rituals are

used. Once they possess a body, the astral being is treated as if they are an

inhabitant of the Physical Plane, meaning that although they can now

physically interact with the world, others can interact with them as well.

3. Astral Plane
If a physical being enters the Astral Plane, they will find themselves in a

similar situation to the astral being visiting their plane. Physical objects,

while still existing, are practically not there. A physical being will have

to deal with the same barriers as their naitive plane, but most equipment

will be worthless to them. A prime example of this is armor; it doesn't

really matter if you were to wear chain mail or a t-shirt, both would give

you about the same amount of protection on the Astral Plane. The same goes

for most weapons; you will need to give an object the ability to hit astral

beings before it will work against them. The same goes for magic; since magic

creates a physical reaction, it can be used against a physical being, but

their magic will not affect astral beings.


Travel between Astral and Physical Planes

Normally, the method of travel between the planes is pretty basic. Dying in

the physical world sends the soul to the Astral Plane, where it becomes an

Astral Being, living a second life on the other side. At this point, they

have all of their memories of their past lives; those who belong to a race

will become ghosts, while creatures and monsters of all varieties will become

corresponding creatures on the other side. Astral beings have unique

lifespans, as left alone, they can spend a very long time in this state.

However, when fighting amongst themselves, astral beings can kill each other

just as easily as physical beings. On top of this, there is a legion of Demi

who live in the Astral Plane, and they watch over & determine if a soul has

spent long enough in the afterlife, and should be reincarnated. At this

point, all of the actions committed by that soul will be tallied up, and used

to determine what will happen to them in reincarnation; from here, the

experiences of that soul are saved as something called a Vita Fabula, and are

sent to a being named Pandora.

Outside of death, there is also summoning. Beings from either plane can

summon and be summoned by beings of the other side; however, this sort of

Ritual requires one to be quite specific. Not doing a summon properly may

result in summoning the wrong spirit, summoning more of them than one can

handle, or even putting oneself in the other plane.

Lastly, there are four gateways across Astitva, allowing one to simply enter

as they wish. Watched over by the Fates (see below), these gates allow one

free travel between the worlds, on the grounds that you accept the Fate's

rules. Trying to challenge these rules can result in one quickly being sent

away from the area, with their intentions of interplane travel removed from

their minds.

There are Demi that watch over travel between the planes, who refer to

themselves as the Fates, or if one prefers longer names, the Directors of

Fate. There are nine of these Demi - Clotho, the guardian of the physical

north; Lachesis, guardian of the astral north; Atropos, guardian of the

physical east; Wyrd, guardian of the astral east; Verandi, guardian of the

physical south; Skuld, guardian of the astral south; Nona, guardian of the

physical west; Decima, guardian of the astral west; and Morta, a travelling

guardian who deals with constant non-gateway travel.



Notes on stats:

* will probably need to buff everything big-time

Need to at least be able to handle lightning techniques - high speed +

reaction time

averages:

Strength/Durability (physical) - Class G-
Strength/Durability (magical/non-physical) - Hill Level
Speed/Reaction time - Mach 400/Mach 440

really tempted to have it be island level for both, but at that point that is

just super silly



Ideas on "traits":
These are little add-on pieces of information, usually just one word or so,

that indicate that an ability has a certain aspect to it. This isn't really a

definite thing, but a quick way to indicate abilities of a move.

Current trait ideas:
~ Cold
Mainly used with Water techniques, this indicates that an attack is an "ice

attack". Some characters, such as members of the Lucid race or enemies that

are similar to plants, can absorb water, but are weak to cold. In this case

(as well as in similar ones), the tecnique is treated as though the character

resists it.

~ Astral
Astral abilities completely ignore physical defenses, as they hits souls

directly, instead of physical bodies. This includes armor and shields, as

well as walls.

~ Pierce
Abilities that are likely to break through physical defenses have this trait.

This works for other objects, such as walls.

~ Mental
These abilities don't hit physically or spiritually, but rather, hit

mentally. These abilities also tend to pull power from the user's mind. This

is generally a trait of scan abilities.

~ Hitscan
This sort of ability simply cannot miss, as it is a truly instant attack. Not

sure if this will get much use, but it's definitely something worth noting.

~ Faith
This ability runs on how strongly one believes in something, usually a

religious figure of some sort. However, it can also apply to other

situations, such as one's friends or that something will not happen.


Weaknesses & resistances:
Alongside the elemental alignment all characters have, they may also have a

varity of secondary weaknesses and resistances. These are just as important

to remember as the elemental alignment, since they might hint to an easier

elemental weakness to exploit, or to a strength you ned to avoid.

Weakness - Characters are weak to these elements and traits. Can combine with

the actual elemental alignment to become a sort of double weakness (think

quad-effective moves from Pokemon).

Resist - Characters resist these elements and traits. Can combine with the

actual elemental alignment to become something like a double resistance.

Immune - Characters are barely, if at all, affected by this. This normally

isn't for an enemy or a trait, but rather for statuses. When combined with

the weakness that comes with an elemental alignment, it results in a

resistance to that element instead; having an elemental resistance as well as

an immunity more or less guarantees that this element will never affect you.

Absorb - Usually used with elements, characters can absorb these abilities,

and can use it to either become stronger or even heal. This will take into

consideration the weaknesses and resistances of the character; being immune

to an element won't be of much help for absorbtion. Being able to absorb an

element, but being weak to a trait will result in a resistance to that

ability.



Character notes:

* Arcanas!

Yes, characters will have arcanas. This is mainly for flavor, since it

doesn't have an effect on anything in-story, but if you know what to expect

when you see an arcana, then you can get a hint of what their character is &

where it's likely to go. An "R-" in front of the arcana indicates that they

represent the reverse side of the arcana; I try to avoid these. Probably a

habit I should get out of.

George - Magician
Agape - Lovers
Elizabeth - Priestess
Samuel - Fool
Felix - Chariot
Golem - Strength
Pichuko - Hermit
Salandra - Empress
Wendy Wakana - Sun
Alena - Tower




* New character ideas:

Just ideas. Probably won't do much with them right now.

Samuel - Werebeast Dullahan. Dark aligned. Uses a sword. Not sure what to do

with his story. From the get-go, is very JRPG hero-ish. I would like to avoid

making something like "RAAARGH I CANT CONTROL MY BLOOD RAAAAAAAGE" if I can -

hate that sort of character most of the time. Highly physical attacker, can

use the Dark element to "create" weaknesses in enemies, via exploiting

character types and using hits specifically meant for the living & dead. In

the case of exploiting types, would need to make a system for that & explain

how it works - probably not worth it.


Felix - Angelic. Electrically aligned. Detective who uses electric magic as

well as gun; a Gunner to Agape's Archer. Not as status heavy, though. Global

person who simply travels and deals with odd cases.


Golem - Lucid. A friend that Felix picked up a long time ago. It lives inside

of a suit of armor that gives it the appearance of a golem, hence it's

nickname, Golem. Uses an axe. Ridiculously powerful, and can take equally

powerful hits, but is kind of stupid and slow. Will always listen to Felix,

though.


Salandra - Demonic. Aligned with Light. A witch whose husband, Scathan, was

one of the most powerful mages of his time, until a rather rowdy duel left

him with a curse that would kill him in less than three hours. Not able to

get medical help right away, and with Scathan not willing to lose his life

over a petty duel, she magichanged him into a different body - that of a cat.

With her husband now as her pet, she began becoming a stronger magician, and

began a potion-making business. Salandra spends a lot of time on her private

boat, the Unscathed Glory, and explores the world of magic alongside her

husband.
An offensive mage - maybe comparable to a Disgaea Witch or Black Mage from

FF, but not quite as frail. Her own movepool is somewhat small, but thanks to

magichanging Scathan, she has access to far more magic. When not in a serious

fight, she also uses him as a weapon, smacking opponents around with a cat

that has rather surprising durabiity. Naturally, he kind of hates her for

that. The two often just spend time finding ways to annoy each other.


Wendy Wakana - Angelic. A young musician who was paired with a troubled

orphan named Alena, and acts as a mentor to her. She makes Alena a member of

her now-two-man rock band, saying that it would provide a good outlet for all

of her anger and depression. She actually intends to use Alena's surprising

talent with the guitar to escalate herself to fame and fortune throughout

Astitva. Very self-centered, and seems to switch between not noticing it to

flat-out admitting it. Generally very fun to be around, although her lack of

seriousness combined with her self-centeredness can make her rather annoying.

She is just about never depressed, ever. Uses a rather cartoonish hammer in

battle, and mainly works to pester enemies with her jokes. She does have

techniques with her hammer that can inflict trauma rather easily, however. As

a musician, she's a vocalist, although her hammer can be transformed into an

acoustic guitar.

Alena - Angelic. A young girl who witnessed the murder of her parents by

someone who was supposed to be one of their closest friends. She quickly lost

faith in others and became increasingly violent, feeling that if she couldn't

protect herself, then she might be betrayed like her parents were.

Eventually, she met Wendy Wakana as a "big sis", mainly in an attempt by her

uncle to improve her social skills. The two became friends, albeit shaky -

Alena is still very wary and doesn't like joining Wendy Wakana  on all of her

misadventures. She uses her own axe guitar as an instrument; she is mainly a

fist fighter, as far as combat goes, and carries a knife with her at all

times.




spring = birth
summer = maturity
autumn = aging
winter = death



Terms for setting:

Monster - Refers to an antagonistic creature of some sort. They will not

necessarily be evil, but they will get in the way and serve as common

enemies.

Great Expansion - A period of time where the races became more globally

aware, and began to realize that others existed in the world. During this

time, several things happened:
1. Werebeasts began to appear afterwards, the cause unclear.
2. The term Godkin was coined, Astitva's equivalent to how we refer to

ourselves as humanity.
3. Demonics and the Lucid began to suffer prejudice; The Demonics withdrew as

a result, preferring to live with monsters over other Godkin, while the Lucid

retreated a little, but otherwise ended up becoming almost subservient to the

other races, in order to avoid any trouble.
4. Atropism and The Way became more global religons. The Way is currently

more powerful a force.




race backstory rewrites & new ones to fill in old spots now unfilled

Demonics - A race that people used to believe were descended from demons,

resulting in them being feared, as demons were supposedly powerful monsters

that destroyed good people and propagated evil. As the races began

researching their world more, this belief was proven false, but the damage

was dealt. Demonics had long ago decided to remove themselves from other

races. They actually have a close connection to monsters, made stronger after

they decided to remove themselves from other Godkin.
Alignment - Poison
General traits - Flight [limited], Monster Kinship


Angelics - Race that began the research on magic, resulting in them

developing much of the technology in this world, alongside their allies the

Sylph. They are generally an intelligent race, and their home, Charon, is

full of many schools and factories due to both traits. They are highly

developed compared to many of the other races, but others tend to complain of

their tendency to keep all of this knowledge and tech to themselves. As a

result, they have begun attempting to reach out to other races, with mixed

results; in particular, they have begun working on repairing the relationship

between Demonics and the other races.
Alignment - Electricity
General traits - Gliding, Spirit Regen [limited]


Ignis - A peaceful and much-loved race, they are well-known for how religious

they are. Their religion is simply referred to as "The Way", a set of beliefs

started by a prophet who referred to himself as the "Light of the Gods". He

preached a method of living that would allow one to be more in tune with

nature and the gods, allowing one to realize one's potential and become a

symbol of good. After the Great Expansion, the Ignis began travelling to

spread the word of their religion; while they are respected for being amongst

the kindest people, their adherence to their religion is quite strong.

Newcomers from other races of Godkin are introducing their own variations on

the religion, but the original religion is still very prevalent.
Alignment - Light
General Traits - Heat Aura, Health Regen


Sylph - A birdlike race who are good friends with the Angelics, and have

access to similar amounts of tech and knowledge. They consider themselves

more academic, and many of the research towards the Angelic's tech was

performed by the Sylph. Their unique body structure, which prevents them from

being able to hold objects, but gives them constant access to flight, has

forced the Sylph to be much more magically oriented than any other race. They

were the race that started the Great Expansion, the term used for the period

in the world's history that resulted in the races ultimately discovering that

there were other races besides their own, and begun the use of the term

"Godkin" to refer to the people of the world as a whole.
Alignment - Wind
General Traits - Flight [natural], Spirit Regen [normal]


Dullahan - A race of physically powerful beings, the Dullahan have a tendency

to enjoy showing off their strength. After the Great Expansion, Dullahan have

appeared all over, being capable workers as well as fighters. Dullahan are

largely superstitious, due to their home, the island Styx, being the location

of a gate to the Astral Plane. Dullahan, interestingly enough, look similar

to the appearance of ghosts, and they even share some common traits;

supposedly, a long time ago, their ancestors had lived with spirits, but at

some point removed them from Styx, and they became the rather ghastly-looking

race they are now. As a result, there is a small religion that the Dullahan

share, Atropism, which is largely intended to remove the influence of the

dead from the Physical Plane, and it is from this that much of the current

understanding on souls & the Planes have been based on.
Alignment - Earth
General Traits - Aura Vision, Ghostly Body [limited]


Lucid - A slime-like race. Unlike the Demonics, who were believed to have

descended from demons, but never did, the Lucids actually are mutated

versions of the wild monsters referred to as "slimes". Lucid have developed

much more solid, humanoid forms, and with it, they have developed minds -

simple ones, but ones capable of thought and self-control, two things their

monstrous cousins lack. Being related to one of the most elementally-aligned

monsters has also resulted in them sharing these traits, including their

unique ability to absorb water; however, the Lucid have had to deal with the

same sort of problems that the Demonics faced. It didn't help that they

aren't anywhere near as intelligent, and thus weren't sure what to do about

their predicament. Nowadays, they are mostly cowardly, and often aim to

please, in order to avoid negative judgement; this is partially because they

haven't realized attitudes towards them have begun changing.
Alignment - Water
General Traits - Amorphous Body [limited]; Regeneration


Werebeast - Unusual Godkin that take the form of another race by day, but

take the form of an animal by night. This trait has been currently

unexplored, but what is known is that they only began to appear after the

Great Expansion, meaning that their existence might have been caused by some

event during this time lost to history. Generally speaking, Werebeasts are

looked down on by others, due to the belief that, since they transform into

animals, they must be more like animals than actual people. Werebeasts have

few of their own unique traits, generally combining abilities from both of

their forms, but one commonly known ability is their "unlucky aura" -

Werebeast have the power to curse anything they touch, and depending on their

skills with magic, this can be controlled as needed. This ability doesn't

help their reputation at all, but it does let them often get a chance to get

back at those who they've had to deal with.
Alignment - Dark
General Traits - Unlucky Aura, Transformation
