Some self indulgent things I drew a while back with Välk and Vechimäär. Favorite lovebirds I've created. Stupid with love they are.

Concentrated on an island off the east coast of the Atisarala Passage

Not known to travel far

Used to be regular birds

Experimental mana infused into the water supply of the island

The birds and plants had a reaction to the magic

Plants showed signs first

Other animals did not survive the experiment

Diet mostly consists of nuts, berries, and seeds but can handle lean and white meat

If they eat red meat, it could make them sick

Sub-species that take after raptors/ birds who can consume red meat have a tolerance

Have the internal anatomy of a bird

Even in humanoid form

In humanoid form, they have an extra set of pectoral muscles to operate their wings

Very superficial

Make quick judgements of character

Are hard to befriend

Do not wander far from flocks when making relationships

Many species cannot mesh well with their nature

Devote nature

Can become devote to hobbies, religion, lifestyles, studies, etc.

Hyperfocus can be good or bad regardless

Can become a toxic self-righteous attitude if not given checks and balances

Show sexual dimorphism

Males: larger wingspan, longer limbs, vibrant colors, large nose, heights average out to 6 feet 3 inches (190 cm)

Females: smaller wingspan, shorter limbs, dull colors, round features, small nose, heights average out to 4 feet 10 inches (147 cm)

Both: hooked nose, detached earlobes, wings placed on shoulder blades

Have standards of beauty

Male: tall, vibrant, sharp features, lean

Female: small, curvy, plump

Oviparous

Can only lay 1 to 2 eggs at a time

Sub-species passed on from mother

Will look and have primary functions of the mother’s sup-species

Can exhibit characteristics of father’s sub-species, but will not be the same species

Have heightened senses and are very sensitive to mana

Makes them great mages or familiars

Some sub-species

Crow: shady and ominous

Raven: cold, calculating, and wise

Nightingale: frail and innocent

Cardinal: protective, energetic, and aggressive

Albatross: strong and thoughtful

Parrot: chatty and rash

Humanoid

Omnivorous and viviparous

Age extremely slow

Do not reach sexual maturity until 30 years of age

Live to be up to 1000 years old

Appear young and youthful most of their life until they reach about 700 years of age

Will look like children or close to it until they reach maturity

Very limited scale of coloration

Skin is either a ghostly white to dusty grey or mocha to copper tone

Not much in between or darker

Hair is always a shade or variant of purple

Indigo and magenta are rare, but the furthest variation of purple seen

Eye color ranges from daisy yellow to burnt orange

Very high magical prowess

Second only to djin in how much mana they possess

Causes them to involuntarily hover and float around

Must learn to walk and stay grounded

Very poor maneuvering skills when grounded mostly

Can only go about twice their height at a maximum

If they try to go higher, they flutter back down to within their limit

Heights range from 3feet (91 cm) to 5 feet (152 cm)

Prideful nature, yet still humble

As a community, tend to not interfere with other species unless it affects them directly

Regardless of if the encounter will be good or bad

Could have to do with their tendency to see into the future

Found in the western plains and deserts

A brief explanation on how magic works in Evig Dyr and Eternal Entities

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Magic is an innate ability a creature is born with

Either have it or you don’t

Usually discover it between the ages of 3-5 years for most species

There is no known species to have absolutely no magical capabilities

Ocianci and Vieliers are the ones to have the least amount

Each species varies to what type of magic they have a natural affinity for

Elves: high affinity for elemental magic; secondary affinity to planar rifts/shifting

Avinian: high affinity for mana sensing & absorbtion

Within species, affinity varies between races

Alkimia: high affinity for planar rifts/shifting & psychic magic

Deabru: high affinity for abir magic

Within species, affinity varies between races

Vielier: high affinity for nature magic

Ocianci: high affinity for aquatic magic

Djin: depends on the magic that created them; affinity to all magic

Fae: high affinity for morphology & mana manipulation

Human: high affinity to summoning magic

Monstroa: high affinity to uluros magic

Magic is separated into Ancient Mana and Modern Mana

Differences are mainly in how long residual mana lasts before being reabsorbed and what it costs to cast spells

Ancient Mana: magic used before the Monstroa extinction

Magic that uses Ancient Mana utilizes physical strength and well being

The mana residuals are thick and often physically palpable

Reason why a large amount of it can create djin

Makes it hard for it to be reabsorbed by the earth

Would make areas contaminated by large amounts of ancient magic

Made it either inhabitable to weaker mortals &/or popped out a djin

Species that could survive in magic pilluted areas: djin, monstroa, alkimia

Only instance seen where ancient mana didn’t make a place inhabitable was when it was paired with experimental modern mana on a remote island

Birth of avinians

Modern Mana: created during the Monstroa extinction and used and developed further afterwards

Magic that utilizes Modern Mana ulitlizes neurological activites

Primarily those that control emotions and imagination

Residuals are light and never feel heavier than a spec of dust

Easier to be absorbed and/or dissolved by the earth

Or people

Even if areas are containminated by large concentrations of modern mana, it will be habitable

Ancient Mana felt more like chemical burns when a person came into contact with residuals while Modern Mana can have no reactions

Unless in extremely high concentrations

Djin are the only creatures to solely use Ancient Mana still

Alkimians slowly adapted to utilizing Modern Mana more than Ancient Mana
