Orkid Species Info by Krio

Gonna get this down over here as well =v=

A bit about the Orkids species:

Orkids are a closed species

  • Popular as a Familiar-type, Orkids can be found both in the wild and as the domesticated companions of humans and other mythical creatures.
  • Wild Orkids make it their duty to take care of a variety of flowers and vegetation and they specialize in botany.
  • It is common to find Orkids who have the outer parts of their ears tattooed with elaborate designs of various meanings. In some cases (mainly concerning Orkid Familiars,) with runes of magic.
  • In the wild they sometimes use their large, slightly concave ears to carry around small amounts of water they've imbued with trace amounts of magic that keep whichever plant they water healthy and happy for weeks on end.
  • A clan/pack of Orkids is often referred to as a guild.
  • When Orkids are relaxed they will petal or leaf arrange; if no flower or plant is near they will switch to grooming the hair of whatever person/creature is available.
  • The fur around an Orkids neck is actually very dense in order to support the weight of their large ears. Without the fur an Orkid would not be able to support the weight of it's head on it's thin neck. -Females tend to have wider hips than males, but other than that there isn't much overt visible difference.
  • Orkids tend to live in fairly large familial packs in the wild and are an intelligent species all around.
  • They have a natural rivalry with most large birds and do not favor fire.
  • The average Orkid tail is of a medium length with a fleshy/furry stem and feathered underside. Tail length can range from very short to of moderate length.
  • They're an omnivorous species, though they tend to enjoy berries and sweet fruits the most.
  • Familiar Orkids can bond not only with one chosen person, but with an entire small family and since they are fairly long lived, tend to be passed down from one generation to the next.
  • The magic of an Orkid familiar is erratic at first and must be trained or focused or it will eventually disperse with age. Training can turn the magic towards a more domestic route (house keeping, garden work) or towards more advanced skills (alchemy,protection etc)
  • Trained Orkids can only truly master one field of magic, for example; an Orkid trained specifically in domestic magics will not be able to learn alchemy or one of the elemental magics and vice versa. You will not find an Orkid who can cast from both the Fire and Wind classes easily, nor will you find one that can do both alchemy and domestic type spells perfectly. Some Orkids are average in multiple magics, but masters of none, while others specialize in particular magics as masters but are novices or simply cannot use, many of the others.
  • Their ears are quite flexible and during the winter they like to wrap them around the tops of their head or body to help keep warm.
  • The flower headdresses they wear on occasion are purely cosmetic. They are self-crafted during a period of oncoming maturity and in general, the more extravagant the little headdress, the more esteem or regard an Orkid may get when meeting another of it's kind. The headdress, when crafted well, can serve to help in the relaxation of the flowers/plants an Orkid wishes to tend encouraging health and bountiful harvest.
  • Orkids range in height differs drastically and mainly depends on who is raising them. In the wild they tend to be no more than a few inches, but their magics can allow them to grow up to 5'5. If trained to constantly keep such a height from an early age they will eventually assume that height as their natural one.
  • The taller/bigger version of an Orkid is called it's mimic, since the magic used allows them to mimic human stature and height. An Orkid that trains to stay tall will eventually develop a permanent mimic (as stated above) and it will be harder for them to assume their once smaller form without the aid of magic.
  • They have the latent ability to understand the language of flora/fauna. This ability strengthens with use over time.
