New Species: Synes by Airu

~~~ Just a few words about the species, for anyone interested in being a part of them for future auctions!

  • I am calling them Synes for now... but I dunno. Might change that. ANYWAY, they are basically spirits that roam the world causing certain environmental changes. They are usually mysterious and obscure to people.
  • They are physically genderless, but can exhibit masculine or feminine personalities or tendances. They can speak in any language, including ones unknown to inhabitants of the world they appear on.
  • Characteristics depend on individual Synes. Some can be chaotic, violent, and sadistic, while others can show mercy, love, and attachment to other beings.
  • Physically, so far the only known Synes are thin and elegant. Their skeletal properties typically show through their flesh as they age. It is unknown exactly how this physical trait behaves, but it's been observed in some occasions that the skeletal portions that show depend on the Syne's elemental activity. Perhaps the more they contribute to the status of the world they are on, the more they wither away. It could take years for those parts of their bodies to grow back, but in most cases it doesn't because it's a Syne's natural compulsion to effect the environment around them. Every Syne has runes on their ears that reflect what they represent. This is basically their name, even if they don't personally identify with a name. Most names Synes have are given to them by the locals.
  • Their interactions with beings around them varies. Some hate interacting with other creatures and constantly try to hide and avoid other sentient beings. Some, however, latch onto other beings. It might not be for the benefit of that being, or by that being's choice, but it isn't uncommon to see a Syne following someone around (even if you don't see them...). That being said, some Synes offer their powers to a "master" figure, depending on the relationship. It could be out of respect, fear, or even deception.

    And that's pretty much all I can think of to pin down about them, so far! They are a CLOSED SPECIES, so keep a lookout for more offers from me to get one of these things!

    hhhhhhh yesss I'm so happy you're going to be doing more of these since I wasn't able to bid on the last one. I will most definitely be keeping my eye out for more designs, these are so awesome

  • Link

    Ahhhh I have so many questions now that I have one :D Loving these guys so much, and I'm really excited to see how you're gonna flesh them out.

    • Link

      Feel free to ask anything you feel you need to know! I can do my best to answer them, and sometimes it helps me flesh them out more :)

        Well one question, are they undead? Or just like manifested Elemental spirits? Are they immortal? Trying not to overwhelm you with questions, cause I could just barf out a bookfull xD

        • Link

          It's okay!
          If the ultimate question is do they die, yeah they do. I believe once they use up all their powers, and wither away completely, they will pass on. Besides that, I don't think they can be killed. Besides being weakened to a point where they can't use their powers for a while and have to go into hiding, I wouldn't say that any regular person could kill them. And if they could, it wouldn't be easy.
          I see them as kinda, living between the realms of spiritual and physical and being able to hop back and forth between both as they are able to :O

          OH and I was gunna say, with your Syne, I imagine it's icy features would always look different. The horns and ear tips are basically just icicles, and don't have to be symmetrical, the frost on it's tail can be longer or shorter, the crystals on it's back can be different shapes as well.

    The description is interesting enough. I hope that time and opportunity allows for further development on this.
