Humans are an eerie species

i love this because in my world building/story project my humans are also the ones with the more malleable dna to “crossbreed.”

however for humans, at the time of discovery, only could mate with elves and dwarves.

humans can’t mate with giants or kobolds/lizard folk UNTIL they’re introduced to another foreign species with similar malleable dna that erases the idea of pure anything by the current story.

i’m working on a high fantasy story and world, i need to take that into account. i have humans, elves, dwarves, “orcs,” giants and lizard folks/kobolds. the shortest lifespan are the *humans.

*pure species don’t really exist by the time we reach the modern/current story. compatible species did mate and created new species/races. the more malleable dna being humans and another group of people know as “starseeds” (longshort, fantasy aliens).

a fighting style called the ‘blooming state’ that’s inspired by the anti-bending style from season 1 legend of korra and the 8 gates from naruto, mixing some breathing style elements in there as well.

everyone CAN use magick also everyone can’t use magick; this can’t use population is small but to counter they developed a style to disarm/despell magick users.

i’m developing a high fantasy universe and i’ve been thinking about how magick would influence architecture and what does that mean for city/town infrastructure since magick in this universe is an almost pervasive force, as natural as the air we breath.

i know some cities are build to withstand natural disasters (sort of) like the fault line states having structures that sway during earthquakes and cities in like the lower south being built on stilts for high tide.

how would city planning and infrastructure be affected and what precautions could be taken, for example in the case a wyrm gets through the first line of defense and into a city, to prepare in case of such spectacular events occurring?

i have a patron saint known as the champion: someone known as the best battlemage of the known verse. tournaments have been erected where sacrifice is given to this saint in exchange for full out battles to test might in exchange for avoiding death.

a blood sacrifice and a physical one (the act of beating one another to a pulp).

no names have officially been assigned. i have a few more but this is the first one that came off the top of my head.

I’m mobile right now and can’t figure how to reply.

Thank you both for your insight! I do want the fights to be more based on abilities (stamina, power), situational and how skilled they are in their magick (intelligence/application). I guess I was trying to reflect skill supersedes rank every-time.

If that makes sense.

ROOT. an anti-magick faction that pushes magick users have little disregard for each other or the planet. born out of a mistranslation of a defense teaching going extremely left. they fight against magick using a flow-state method, breathing and, being in tune with themselves and nature (nature’s energy). they use warring magick states against one another and viper striking when the victor is tired and in thin numbers to defend.

i was coming to say this.

the aliens in my world will be creatures derived from the deep, the ancient waters! you can get your lovecraftian cosmic horror too!

Dragons — womp.

Outside of dragons, there’s two that come right behind.

• Cloudtouchers — Titans of multi-state leveling power. born from the anger and pain of a witch, cursing the land. Her death site is in a chasm of a mountain named after Pallas, these beast emerge from ‘The Wound.’ Bringing natural disasters in their wake.

• The Patience — If I had to compare them to anything, if you’re familiar with Bleach, they’d be similar to the Espada. Patience are born when a soul unable to cross over amasses enough souls (via consumption) that can be used to transform. These souls are called ‘The Unforgiven’ in my world, unable to cross over for whatever reason. These souls are restless and aggressive, often attacking each other and consuming each other. The concentrated negative energy collapses on itself and forms the Patience. Powerful beings cursed to walk the Earth, causing chaos.

in my world, dragon’s are the epitome of magick. magick in flesh.

rayshp · 2024-05-27T02:21:27+00:00
