species lore

humans--- oldest race, came from earth. They were brought over along with all the earth animals during the worlds creation when the creator got around to doing the four other realms. They are the only ones created by the og creator, the magical creatures/plants came from the immortals/gods that were sent to rule over/protect/continue the creation for phofroain. They actually do have magic, but they have to ‘unlock’ it by finding a magical item, and the magical item they find has to ‘match’ them. They have to find the one that's right for them. Magic using humans are called mages.

puppets--- corrupted or mind controlled humans. Since neither daebies nor Catrina nor anyone who would be controlling a human likes humans, they usually have their bodies modified magically to somewhat resemble a puppet, hence the name. They don’t live very long, since their bodies are messed with and abused.

elves--- second oldest race. Slightly shorter than humans on average, though elf women are the equivalent of human men and vice versa so you have to compare men/women for them. Magic usually healing, plus another magical field. Magical fields could be elemental, earth related (which crosses into elemental a bit with water and air), social (sophie foster as a polyglot type thing. Or the fae stuff of being able to control people or being more convincing then you actually are), or related to animals. Different fields have specific abilities in each, and elves get one of those from a field with the healing magic. (ex. Quinn has healing and fire, which is the elemental field. Andie has healing and mind control, which is social field) ((i just realised that quinn isnt a good example since shes only half-elf))

ogres--- completely women, but that doesn’t mean their bodies all reflect that the way you would expect. They can all reproduce asexually. They look like really large, somewhat more human-like badgers, but they also have tusks and longer tails. They walk on two feet, but they’re more hunched over. They’re ears are more like a rabbit’s, and they’re bottom feet are hoofed while their hands are just large, hairy, and resembling a human's but somewhat more animalistic. Ogres can be born with ‘male’ anatomy, or anatomy that doesn’t quite match up with ‘female’ anatomy, but they are all women. (male/female anatomy as in human male/female anatomy, they resemble humans in that too) They’re magic is to do with making magical items and weapons. They can imbue something with magical energy. Since they’re appearance is offputting to a lot of people, they mostly keep to themselves in villages. They can be territorial and as a result have a reputation for being violent.

icthyopians--- fish people. Think undyne from undertale, as the stereotypical, basic one. They can be different kinds of fish with different fish features, and can really be any marine animal. Bipedal. Have both lungs and gills.

globlins--- genderfluid shapeshifters, and (aside from the pygmy fireball dragons) the only creatures created by Apollo. Their og/birth/true(if you wanna call it that) forms are like round minecraft slimes, they're very cute. Reproduce through mitosis. Usually, they take on any forms they please and nobody is supposed to know what they really look like.

dragons--- considered the direct children of the gods (tho theyre not really). There are quite a few different species of dragon. Dragons live in the mountains of the northeast, in the very heart of them. They are very wise, and are regarded almost as highly as the gods are (except for the pygmy fireballs). They dont really like people very much, but as long as someone has a pure heart they can be allowed into the Keep, the dragons’ city, of sorts.

dwarves--- actually more like gnomes. Short, round, long beards and hair, cone hats, warty and generally unattractive, and they’re very unkempt/messy in appearance. Live underground. Instead of being craftsmen, they’re actually very focused on the arts. Lots of dwarvish bards, playwrights, and painters. They’re very wise, but theyre also very antisocial and prefer to trick people. Magic has to do with the earth— making plants grow, manipulating water. They’re also extremely strong for their size— like ants, can lift up to 10 times their body weight as a base, and can get much stronger if they work at it. They’re about the size of hobbits from lotr, so theyre also known as halflings.

immortals--- the gods, basically. There to protect from daebies, also known as corrupted immortals, or demons on earth. They each have an animal origin, catrina is a goat and apollo is a fox, however finn having completely deer legs is unique to him, they usually have human limbs that transition near the end to match the animal. They are ‘marked’ as immortals with imp tails, instead of whatever tail their origin would have. They also each have a different amount of eyes, apollo having two is special. if you read the creation story you can learn another one of the reasons they were created :)

daebies--- they are banished to the otherworld. Theyre bringers of chaos, destruction, and overall not good things. Physically, theyre corrupted humans, which means they look like if you covered some rando in eyes, removed all their blood, forgot that they arent supposed to have tails, and the hands/feet look like if somebody drew a few loops on a piece of paper and called it good. their voices are staticy and garbled, their faces are mishapen and lopsided, they only color they posess is red, and their hair comes off their head in stringy squiggles that only faintly resembles the hair it originated. they look like messed up drawings of humans from memory, with a couple things added to make it more original.

fauns--- you know what a faun is :) they’re nomadic and usually travel alone or in groups of two, three, and sometimes four. There are annual gatherings for celebrations at sacred locations. Fauns are very artistic, but they’re primarily scholars. As children, their parents teach them stuff and they memorize all of the important stuff, like history and folklore and stuff (like druids kind of). When a faun settles down, usually they will end up as a priest or teacher.

satyrs--- corrupted fauns, instead of worshipping the gods they worship and/or make deals with the daebies. Some work for Catrina. Over time, a satyr will become more monochrome in coloration.

brownies--- tiny little people with more pointed ears and more tan skin, they’re called brownies because they invented the dessert of the same name. (or is the dessert called a brownie because of who invented it? Nobody really remembers, except for the brownies themselves) They’re very good cooks, and thats one of the main things theyre known for. They love to visit people and offer them services, as long as the recipient doesn’t repay them or thank them or really acknowledge that they did it. They’re very hard workers. They will also stay and work for specific families, or groups of families in the same area, for however long theyre needed. Most become good friends with whoever they’re working for and become like a part of the family. They prefer housekeeping work. They’re also extremely good storytellers, and very good caretakers for young children. Sometimes a brownie will adopt an abandoned child. They also only help people who they deem worthy of help.

fairies--- little human looking creatures, theyre about the size of insects and usually resemble different insects. They can resemble any insect. They hate pixies with a burning passion. Magic consists of being able to change what stage of life a plant is in. They can also communicate with insects, but only insects. They really like milk, and if given milk will help someone’s garden grow. Theyre voices are so tiny that in order to hear one speaking to you, it has to be right up next to (or in) your ear. (like bfg) they hate pixies because they feel like theyre treated like children or animals by them. Like theyre infanitlized <--- this sentence was unfinished in my doc for some reason and i dont remember what it was supposed to say... oops

pixies--- Shorter than elves, taller than dwarves. They love fairies, and like to give them milk. Don’t understand why the fairies hate them. They also have wings, and divide themselves into groups based off of what wings they have. The two main groups are insectious (insect wings), and avian (bird wings), but there are also a few with more dragon-like or bat-like wings. They like to live up in the cold north or on the seaside where they can fish. They’re known for being pirates. In their society, its more of a homonormative society than herteronormative. The majority of them are gay. Pixies also are all born with both part sets. So theyre all intersex ig.

ghosts--- the main difference between them and the typical ghost is that they arent the souls of people who died with unfinished business, theyre the souls of babies who were miscarried or died up to a week after birth. (this would count abortions too ig). Ghosts come from every race, and they all live together in the swamps. They were kinda forced into the swamps in the ancient times, because nobody liked them (not even theyre parents ): ) so thats where they are. Ghosts usually don’t like outsiders (non ghosts) thanks to their past, but if someone is accepted by one of the ghosts, all the other will accept that person unless they do something messed up. (some backstory--- the reason theyre like this is bc my mother had a miscarriage and yknow i think its nicer to think of ghosts as what couldve been, those who die too young given another chance, that sort of thing.)

wraiths--- corrupted ghosts, like satyrs. Most serve Catrina, she likes em better than satyrs, and a lot better than puppets.

animal lore

tu-shaara--- they look like white wolves, but they’re actually a couple feet taller than the average human. They have large fangs and crystals that can range from lightish purple to black on theyre shoulders. They are generally asscociated with daebies (color scheme does not help them unfortunately) and Catrina really likes them. She loves them so much, they are her children. (more important to her than her actual children) Tend to be extremely loyal, and are more then willing to die for whoever they work for. Lucky is a tu-shaara. When theyre puppies theyre tiny, like clifford the big red dog.

sparks--- theyre born from flames, and dont actually live very long. Theyre the glowing sparks you see coming off of fires, but they lose their glow not long after theyre born. They’re hot to the touch, so unless you have fire magic, touching them will burn you.

byubline--- tiny little creatures who live inside of bubbles, they float around in the wind and if their bubble is popped they have a limited amount of time to find a new one before they die.

unicorns, pegasi, and theyre ungodly spawn, alicorns--- unicorns are just the basic shy magical horse with horn that can talk to you and grant wishes. The dragons, fauns, and pixies all have a really good relationship with them and theyre all friends. Pegasi are flying jackasses. Literally, theyre donkeys that have wings and they are huge jerks to people. Alicorns shouldnt exist because most unicorns and pegasi hate each other but they do somehow and theyre mules but with wings and horns and magic and theyre very rare and supposedly a good luck omen if you see one. Theyre kinda stuck up snobs but usually their unicorn parents taught them decent manners.

hackput--- giant sandworms in the desert. They exist because catrina sucks. No personality just worm

gremlins--- grant is a common name for gremlins, for unknown reasons. Theyre little puffballs, live up in the north (near the ogres in the snowy wastelands) and they cause a lot of trouble, but are also popular pets because theyre really cute (literally just puffballs)

chara-chara--- extremely fuffy (very round) cats with horns and “angelic wings” that are known for being little devils. They steal stuff, they bite people, a lot of people don’t like them very much. They are cute tho

sea ponies--- little ponies that can walk on water. Live near the sea.

kelpies--- evil horses that live in the sea. They pretend to be riderless and lost, and can make themselves look really valuable, so people will try and ride them, and then they rush into the nearest water and drown their victim and then eat them. Very sharp fangs. btw does anyone else remmber that ducktales (new one) episode where theyre playing golf and the kelpies are just there and failing really hard at getting them into the water? no? oh....... ok........

phoenixes--- birds made of fire that will turn to ash and then be reborn out of the ash as little phoenix chicks. This is an annual occurance.

banshees--- ghosts but the animal version =)

skinshifter--- snake that can change its skin to look like any other snake (thx apollo)

hehe it plantin time

boosterries--- boost magical energy when eaten for a short period of time, cooking them into something or making tea will make that period of time longer. Mostly used for healing, to preserve non-magical energy from being used to heal, or in high stress situations.

hinderries--- they hinder magical abilities and are extremely dangerous to consume. Used to make a poison.

red ivy--- like normal ivy except its red and burns to the touch, can be brewed into a tea that gives a fire resistant effect.

torchflower--- like an indian paintbrush flower, but the tip emits light.

shapefruit--- temporarily allows someone to take on a different form when eaten, but they need to know exactly what form they want to take on otherwise they may end up as something very inconveninet for a couple of hours. Effect can be strengthened when brewed into tea of cooked into something else. A lot of the corrupted carry around juice made with this fruit, and its also commonly used by thieves and murderers. It was created by Apollo, of course.

snek--- cute little red flowers that are really long, can be found under logs and rocks, and the ends resemble a snake’s head. When eaten, they gift the consumer the ability to move without making a sound or leaving a trace.

rainberry--- a rainbow-colored berry that can be made into a tea or juice (that looks like oil) that grants a sort of water breathing effect.

hedgehedge--- also known as hedge squared, its a hedge that grows miniature hedges that then fall off and plant new ones. Hedge mitosis.

tortower--- a flower thats shaped like a tortoise. .^.

eepyivy--- a plant that only blooms at night, can be brewed into a tea that makes the drinker sleepy. Used primarily to help people who have nightmares or insomnia sleep. It is extremely effective.

twisted trunk--- a tree that grows to separate trunks that twist around each other. Considered sacred by ogres and dwarves.

crystal roots--- like carrots but made entirely of minerals. Taste like dirt but are supposedly really healthy. Theyre really pretty. I think these are inspired by stardew valley but im not sure its been a minute...

cherub lillies--- white, delicate, give off a soft glow. They are used to make a special tea that prohets drink before going to sleep in order to (hopefully) get prophetic visions. Believed to be sacred by the humans, ghosts view them as poisonous hallucinogenics.

angel wings--- little yellow flowers with wing-shaped leaves. They are usually used as gifts when someone is asking another person out, and they tend to repeat the first confession of love that they heard. Like the echo flowers in UT, but specifically confessions of love and they only say it when triggered by magical energy. Normal humans are able to trigger them too, you just have to touch one of its petals gently.

deep mist blooms--- dark blue flowers with yellow spots, often compared to the night sky. They’re known to emit a sort of powdery substance that acts like smoke or fog, and while it's fine when one of these is alone, get enough of them together and you’ll be blind.

crab-shelled turtle flower--- just a flower, no fruit, used in salads.

turtle-shelled crab flower--- has berries that taste like really bitter black coffee and have so much caffeine that if you were to eat one you would die from caffeine poisoning.

more on dragons

pygmy fireball--- tiny (for dragons, about the size of a medium sized dog), hunt in packs, known for stealing things and being really annoying, the only dragons who like riddles. Fire breathers. were created for the sole purpose of annoying catrina.

fireblazer--- the stereotypical dragon. Big, fire breathing. Scale color varies.

steamer--- the smallest (not including the pygmies) of the dragons, usually black in color, sort of frog looking. Likes hot springs. Can spew water that at most can get to hot tub temperatures, and at least can get to cold enough to freeze a person on impact.

void walker--- Medium sized (for a dragon), scale color shifts with the day to match the sky. When flying, invisible except for shadow. Referred to as the chameleon by some. Nocturnal. Spend a lot of time in the air, oberving the goings on of Phofroain from afar and reporting back to the other dragons. Gossips. Cannot breathe fire or anything, just has a lot of gas. In the way a human would.

stareater--- rumored to be birthed from the heavens themselves, these dragons resemble the night sky, and usually have either a moon or sun on their foreheads, depending on whether they hatched nearer to dawn or dusk. (morning, evening) they can control the light around them, and pull it all together to form a sort of white-hot laser. Some have been said to have touched the sky

thunderwing--- Large, usually grey/white (but sometimes not), and resembling an owl, these dragons are the second largest, next to the fireblazers. They have a mix of feathers and scales, and are known for being incredibly sensitive to sound. They can manipulate weather and prefer to fly in the cover of clouds.

misc facts

Hierarchy —immortals/gods -> dragons -> elves, dwarves, ghosts, fauns -> ogres, brownies, fairies, pixies, humans -> globlins, wraiths, satyrs. Inside of Canton: immortals/gods -> dragons, humans -> satyrs, wraiths, globlins -> everyone else. Different in canton bc its run by humans and they have different priorities and are also more accepting of the corrupted bc a lot of humans and human leaders are corrupted.

which gods created what:

apollo created globlins, pygmy fireballs, shapefruit, Kelpies, Phoenixes, Chara-chara, and gremlins.

finn created the fauns, ghosts, banshees, brownies, angel wings, crystal roots, tortower, hedgehegde, sneks, and steamer

bea created the crab shelled turle flower, turtle-shelled crab flower, deep mist blooms, twisted trunk, unicorns, and thunderwing

slerina created the elves, boosterries, fairies, ogres, byubline, hinderries, torchflower, Tu-shaara, stareater, and also she introduced caffeinated beverages (coffee) to phofroain. (she stole it from earth, but they wouldve figured it out eventually anyways...)

lorelei created the pegasi, void walker, pixies, icthyopians, rainberries, dwarves, and eepyivy.

catrina created the hackput, fireblazer, sea ponies, cherub lillies, red ivy, and sparks.

Catrina made less things because she was never really creative or that interested in that. Also, Apollo made the kelpies to annoy her. Finn and Bea were the most enthusiastic about creating things to fill their world.

Googly eyes were “invented” by alistran. (some were secretly brought over from earth by apollo, and he wanted more to be made and thought everyone in pho should have some and that they should be made so alistran came up with a way to make them that would work with the materials most people had handy and then started spreading them around and telling people how to make them)

At the beginning, when Phofroain was young, all the magical peoples and the humans lived together in present day Canton, though not exactly. They were more spiderwebbed out, with several branches reaching out into the swamps, jungle, northern territories, dreywood, and even close to where the desert is. They built beautiful cities and castles, and worked togetether to learn how best to not just survive but also thrive in their world. Unfortunately, there began to be some divide between the priests of the gods and the worshippers of the daebies, this was the first sign of trouble. Catrina, bored with the peaceful goings on of the mortals, saw an oppurtunity to sow discord. She sent a messenger in the form of a fireblazer to the capital city of what at the time was known as Midlands. The message she sent stated that if the daebies worshipping scum were not taken care of, the gods would become less friendly with the mortals. It was around this time that what is known as “the prohpechy of the destroyer” was came into being, and when Apollo spawned.
