The Atagari are a species of alien, monkey-like beings that live atop planet-sized creatures known as terravores, each of which carries vast, self-contained ecosystems on its back. Within protective dome cities, the Atagari have built advanced societies dedicated to preserving and safeguarding the dreams of humans.

The Vel’khora are a people formed from raw materials such as porcelain, stone, gems, glass, metal, and wood. They live within a rich and expressive culture shaped by art, beauty, and a history of violent revolutions. To this day, they remain under a monarchy, celebrating as if the world is always on the brink of ending.

One of the many things we have to consider when designing characters is how they walk. You have probably noticed that some people walk strangely, perhaps they raise their knees to their chest, or they stomp really hard (like me), perhaps they lead with their head or hips.

One of the many ways we distinguish characters is by the way they move their bodies in conversation. For example I am currently struggling to figure out this one character, he puts on a facade of confidence. I’m imagining he leads with his chest but that feels like ‘real’ confidence (which he does not have) so I have been trying to break down his movements further. The body really expresses the true underlying emotion of the person and he isn’t good at hiding it either.

The Foe are an ancient species of light based creatures with the unique ability to take the magic from one individual and give it to another. They are wise pacifists that live to be a thousand years old and are known to be clairvoyant and often give insights into the future. Although they can be little clowns at times giving vague or misleading answers for a few short laughs.

The Aldra are a species of humanoid shadow creatures that pride themselves on strength and brutal revolution. You have never met a group of people so in love with unions. The Aldra come in all shapes and sizes ranging from human-like to straight up blobs.

The Masami are a goopy group, made up of a liquid-like-skin that can change shape, stretch, and spread out like slime. They are notorious for their law loving nature and draw to learning. The Masami are known to be protectors of knowledge and ancient traditions, although they aren’t that good at it.
