S’feena’s Children
These are the Aershaa that follow in S’feena’s footsteps, wishing to bring life and balance to the world and to preserve its beauty and cycle.
Air
• Feather-winged
• Lean build
• Thin Fur & Maned
The air Aershaa are the children of the wind. They are swift of foot and of mind, strong fliers, and are known for their skydances. They are the keepers of the air tournaments, involving dance performances, sky races, and flight strength. In personality, they are typically confident, focused and driven, but can be exceedingly playful in their everyday life. The omegas are commonly marked so for their lack of focus, and are typically daydreamers.
These Aershaa will bond to dreamers, artists, musicians, dancers…
Water
• Thin furred & Maneless
• Lean
• Webbed toes
• Strong-lunged, able to hold breath underwater
• Leather wings, shorter and constructed for swimming, not flying.
The water Aershaa are the children of the rivers and seas. They are somewhat slow on land, but tireless and fast in the water. Their wings are not made for flying, but can be used to glide good distances, commonly used to get from island to island in their home land, Listhrea. Where most Aershaa born of S’feena dedicate their rituals to her, the water Aershaa praise Listhrea through underwater lithdancing, usually done in pairs as they weave through each others patterns. This only applies to those born of the Listhrean area, however.
In personality, they are the most intelligent race of Aershaa, Their cunning and trickery are unmatched by many, and their emotions are as everchanging as the sea. Many water types have the poor habit of losing control of their emotions and leaping before looking. The omegas are those that act rashly and foolishly.
These Aershaa will bond to teachers, writers, hunters, fishermen…
Fire
•Thickly built
• Thick fur
• Leather-winged
The fire Aershaa are the children of the sun. Their fur is thick, but allows for protection from extreme heat. It’s reflective and repellent, protecting an otherwise hot-blooded species from overheating. These are the proudest of the Aershaa, and those that are strongest in their magicks amongst S’feena’s children. They are the keepers of the elemental tournaments, where elemental performances anywhere from tests of strength, to elemental creative creation are performed. They are known for their ability to cast fire into shapes and command them at their will, though only for so long.
In personality, they are proud, sometimes to the point of arrogance, but also fiercely loyal. Its said there is nothing that can break a fire pack, and thus is why they grow so large. Mixed packs will often find themselves with fire leaders – these Aershaa have a strong sense of direction and command. But greed can be a downfall of power – the selfish and greedy are thrown to the omega ranking of packs, and often won’t bind to a pack at all.
These Aershaa will bond to leaders of all kinds, fighters, hunters…
Light
• Transparent, light colored without blades
• Can be heard speaking, but never move their jaws.
• Said to be spirits sent by S’feena.
• Ageless, and never seen in a young form
The light Aershaa are direct descendants of S’feena. They serve as guides, guardians, and conscience-bearers to their bonded, but never join as a pack. These Aershaa are not truly material, but can materialize, or completely dematerialize and exist in an invisible spirit form as they connect with a bonded. Because of their immateriality, they do not fight. They’re able to overshadow the humanoid they’ve attached to (with permission, of course,) and lend them the stamina and speed an Aershaa carries. Light Aershaa do not feed on the flesh of animals, but instead on the energy of the world around them.
In personality, they are soft-hearted, kind, and optimistic. Many carry wisdom, but they are rarely literal about it. The light Aershaa are known for speaking in riddles, in tongues, or for going indirectly around advice they’re giving. They are teachers in a strange manner, but they never miss their mark, even if it takes a while.
These Aershaa will bond with anyone with a good heart.
