Lovebugs: Docile, herbivorous. Harmless, as the adults don’t eat and the larva only eat decaying plant matter. After death, however, their decaying bodies eat through materials such as paint, fabric, and if given enough time, even metal. Considered pests to most, but only active as adults during warmer months of the year (April-May and again August-September) and only for short periods of time (at the most, ten days for adults, though it is usually four days). They cannot be safely eaten.

Moths: Docile, herbivorous, indirectly harmful. Beautiful creatures with unique patterns and colors, almost all moths have a luminescence to them as adults. This glow is caused by radiation and the dust on their wings can irradiate their surroundings. Some larvae and caterpillars can destroy crops and belongings by devouring them, but most moths do not eat more than nectar if they have mouth parts. Some species are raised in farms for food and silk depending on their size.

Stickbugs: Docile, herbivorous. Found in many shapes in sizes, depending on their environments. Many have evolved to blend in with their less-than-natural habitats and can be near impossible to spot among the rubble and remains of fallen buildings. Some species are kept as pets, others harvested for food and parts for crafting and housing.

Cicada/Locusts: (Plague-bringers) Aggressive, omnivorous. Genetically-engineered creatures gone haywire, the Plague-bringers dwell underground for decades until suitable conditions arise and trigger change in their behavior and growth. Once awoken, they form ravenous swarms that wipe out crops and settlements alike. Their unique calls can cause severe hearing loss at close range. Originally designed as sleeper cells for military use, the bombings left their development unchecked, and so they were able to reproduce and form large broods. Any lands where the brood dwells is often considered Plague Lands by those who know the history of the creatures. Can provide ample food for any settlement able to harvest the larval/pupal forms before they reach adulthood.

Bombardier Beetles: (Bomber Beetles) Aggressive, carnivorous. Typically found in forests and wooded areas. Generally hunt other insects and some smaller animals. Capable of maiming or even killing a human with their defense mechanism: a boiling, noxious chemical spray.

((‘Hulkynd’ is an Altmeri term that literally translates as ‘broken child’ and is given to High Elven children who are abandoned for perceived imperfections. Altmer greatly value their bloodlines and family reputation and so this cruelty is often believed to be a necessary evil, particularly amongst the middle and upper classes. These imperfections can include, but are in no way limited to, physically deformities, mixed heritage and illegitimacy.

Within Altmeri society there is a clear distinction between these outcast children and legitimate orphans. Hulkynd are viewed as second class citizens, even as children. To associate willingly with a known hulkynd would be social suicide for non-hulkynd. On the other hand, if a child loses their parent(s) and is orphaned as opposed to being abandoned, their social status does not change at all. Typically everything possible would be done to try and keep said child out of an orphanage and instead remain within their family or clan. If they do end up at an orphanage, they receive far better treatment and are often even raised separately from their hulkynd peers.

Because of the high number of hulkynd and low numbers of orphans in Altmeri orphanages, coupled with few adoptions, money is very limited. Any funding is prioritised for the orphaned children, whilst the hulkynd make do with whatever is leftover, if there even is anything. For that reason, their education ranges from poor to none at all. Many leave their orphanage with barely any literacy skills, limited knowledge of history and culture and few practical skills and so many turn to crime as an avenue to make money.

Teburo Ikarri are small jellyfish like spirits, from the Will o' wisp’s family which are attracted towards places or people who possess a strong spiritual energy. Why said creature presents this behavior, is large debated over for scholars who study the spiritual world, but the most accepted hypothesis is that they need said energy to be abble to survive on the material world.

Completely harmless, these ‘ jellyfish ghosts’ are also know as the “janitor of the spirits” for another of their odd behavior, be it for instinct or for 'will to help', these little spirits are largely know for clean and give maintenance on the place  in which they manifestate.

Another of the peculiarities observed on the Teburo Ikarri is the fact that these beings have a collective mind, which means that even lacking any audible means of communication they can work in cooperation with other individuals of they kind with out problems.

There are records that people who have extraordinary spiritual strength managed to bond these Will o’ wisps to their will, thus using them as sevants for day-to-day chores in their hauses, plantations, and to care for animals. 

Although they have no fighting ability, it is also know that the Teburo Ikarri can be used to protect places from intruders, since they ghost like nature make them almost imperceptible at any time of the day, and thanks to they telepatic nature of a  collective mind, they can easily alert other residents of the region about a possible attack or other kind of dangers, making them the perfect security sistem. Since when distressed these creatures emits a bright, colorful shimmering light. 

It is not known how and why creatures come to be, but some believe that these lesser spirits are either created or summoned by they greater counterparts, to exercise the exact tasks already mentioned above.

Their fur patterns and growth differ greatly and are entirely dependent on their environment. In order to survive, the Yordles of the Freljord have developed long, thick (and coarse) fur. Larger hands with larger claws, and sharper teeth. Due to the lack of edible vegetation in the Freljord, they were almost exclusively carnivorous. And thus adopted a hunter-raider culture, in order to survive.

Southern yordles have thinner fur, considered more fluffy. They differed from their kin in the north in lifestyle, more of hunter-gatherers than carnivores. They have thinner claws and smaller teeth. Their fur colors and patterns also tend to differ. 

During the history of Valoran, yordles have been largely divided.

During the reign of the Iron king, yordles were considered an oddity. Small, furry inhabitants among human nations. Many went on to form fairy tales about them, some considered them fae or magical-- others thought of them as pets or animals to eat.  And while they formed communities of their own, they never found true acceptance among humans.

That all changed during the fall of the iron king. He sought to unify all of Valoran under his command, ironically enough, he did get his wish. The people did come together in order to defeat him. And, after the Iron king had fallen, so did stability and control. Chaos was rampant, and, in time, the nations of Demacia and Noxus would rise to fill the void in power. And thus, order was born once more. 

But, as the humans moved on to form great cities and powers, and continued to fight amongst themselves, the yordles remained. That particular time period was called “The great unification”. No longer would yordles be subjected to the whim and change of humanity, as they went on to form their own nation-- far, far away from human culture. There, Yordle culture thrived and flourished. 

- Alstroemeria: the capital of the entire Florian continent, and where the cast lives. Is around the size of what Downtown Raleigh in NC is now, and has a square directly in the middle that is surrounded by buildings and small businesses.

- The Caravan: A bar owned and ran by Solaris. Has a stage with live music and several special mixed drinks on sale, as well as regular tap beers and bottled alcohol. On a normal night, only Solaris works behind the bar, but on busier nights, you may find Ann, Remi, or Louis behind the bar helping out.

- Aurora Veil Café: A combination coffee shop and library, with a home like vibe, chill music, two floors, and several baked danishes. Is owned and ran by Misha, with Beck a co-owner and baker of danishes.

- The Crescendo: A restaurant owned by Phoebe and Cadenza. Serves local cuisines from Flora - soul food like pho, ramen, etc. - as well as from Cadenza's dimension - Italian dishes, looking similar to a fancy restaurant on the inside. Phoebe and Cadenza spend most of their time inside of the restaurant.

- Intervals Medical Campus and Research Park: A medical hospital located near the Alstroemeria-Honeysuckle border in the east, it is the world leader in medicinal research, and provides the best care in all of Flora. The campus is several miles wide, with multiple buildings dedicated to different forms of research. The hospital is 15 stories tall, and Remi is found darting from building to building as she conducts studies and helps patients.

- Dusk Trinkets and Wares: A small general store inside of Alstroemeria, that sells various items for adventurers, as well as homemade plushies and basic groceries. Morello spends most of his time here, sewing plushies and stuffed animals, with many custom ordered for pediatric patients at Intervals Medical Campus.

Solaris had decided long before they made their ideal world that the pantheon of gods had to come to an end. Over the course of finding their world, Solaris combined the powers and souls of the gods into a single artifact, referred to as the Tesseract. They decided to create this artifact to prevent disasters as seen in the 3rd Gaea from happening again.

This artifact controls Time, Space, the oceans, the Earth, and all weather events. There is no Dialga, or Palkia. The only other gods are Xerneas and Yveltal, who exist in a different plane to guide the souls of the dead to their final resting location, whether it be in Heaven or Hell.

Worldcanon: Singularity and the rules

When Solaris froze the team after defeating LaPlante, the new God decided to freeze their souls at that exact moment. Solaris first coined this term, but they are referred to as singularities - a fixed point in time. But what does this mean, exactly?

Being a fixed point in time, that means that they don't age, and their bodies don't deteriorate due to age. They're essentially stuck at the age they were at when Solaris froze them.

This also means that the team has an advanced form of healing. When a member gets seriously injured, their body will revert back to the fixed point. This means that any wound will be healed, and the team is unable to die, even by a serious injury.

However, it isn't an instant process, and injuries take time to heal - at the same rate of time as every other being. This means that the team can still be taken out through fights, and requires rest to feel better.

While someone could defeat them in a fight, they are overall only slowing the team down a little, and delaying the inevitable of the team member coming back for them.

So for posterity, here are the rules regarding all of this:

1. A singularity cannot age, cannot grow older, and can heal wounds inflicted on them.

2. A singularity cannot die, even by fatal wounds.

3. If a singularity is injured, healing said injuries take the normal amount of time to heal (a broken leg takes 6-8 weeks, cuts take a few days, etc.).

4. A singularity can be defeated in battle in standard ways, such as knocking them out, causing an injury to make them bleed out, or by exhausting them.
