siegeofthecrystalcitadel:In the world of Ithiir about one third (if not less) of the population are Elementals or Esse sapien. This post and the following few will detail the four subtypes of those elements; Fluid, Energy, Fauna and Mineral but first and foremost, how are they the same? For one thing, all elementals are sapient bi-peds and the second “human equivalent” on Ithiir. Their bodies naturally produce mirus, or naturally occurring magic which is highly toxic to non-esse life. This mirus carries the energy of the planet which translates to Ithiir becoming a small part of these people, aka: their element. Secondly, no matter what subtype all elemental people have the same structure and basic life cycle.As you might have noticed, elementals have flat chests. This is because they are not mammals, and therefore do not produce milk. ☆UPDATE: The “siphoning magic” thing is now no longer canon. Newborns can eat simple soft foods two days to a week after birth. By the way, yes that means all elementals are born with teeth.☆ By the way, yes that means all elementals are born with teeth. On that note, all elementals biologically androgynous possessing both male and female organs. The rules for how those work differ slightly depending on the type of magic they have so that will be covered in a later post. However the organs do not mature until puberty, so all elementals are technically neither until then. All elemental subtype’s magic can and do affect smaller aspects and organs in their body simply due to how their body consumes the energy, as a result all their magic do have a very distinctive difference. Think blood types, but more is affected!The next four posts will be detailing the individual elemental types! (I promise, we’ll get back to the taurs soon. Elementals are just a HUGE part of the world.) Updated some info so I’m reblogging again! -- source link
