Gaianites: A Closed Species By LunaOfWater
7 years ago
LORE/BACK-STORY:
Gaianites are exactly what their name tells; protectors of nature.
A gaianite is born from the plant/theme/item they are made of,
usually in an area where there is a large populace of said item (i.e. flowers, trees, etc).
They are most often very tall, lean creatures that lurk amongst the plants,
keeping out any unwanted strangers who may cause harm to them.
They are quite agile and well suited for battle;
however they will choose peace over battle whenever is possible.
Many gaianites are very connected with nature and the ways of the world,
therefore they are often seers and have insight into the future.
This helps them often to protect their plants/flock from any danger that may come to them.
They are very regal creatures and must adhere to a very strict code of conduct given to them by the Royals (the roses).
The punishment for not following this code is to be destroyed/broken down and made into a new creature.
Gaianites personality, physical appearance,
and fashion often tends to be influenced by geographically where they stay/are from.
For instance, a gaianite made from a tropical flower will be more likely to wear bright colors and light clothing because of the heat.
Gaianites made in more populated areas will be more social.
**More info to come as I get more of the details sorted out!!
I will also be putting some work into a visual species guide to help explain their physical traits a bit better~**
