Rising Legends: Playable Species
Playable Species
Each Species has its own culture, appearance, specialties, and features. These are the Species that commonly appear in civilized worlds. Most are descendants of those that are now referred to as monsters. Your Primary Species determines how you look, while any Secondary Species you gain grants you access to the Species cultural abilities. The Species are grouped into 5 types that define their origins, Natural, Fae, Animals, Magic, and Ancients.
Natural
The Nature-born descend from those who grew from the land itself during the third age, the age of learning. Their erratic, ambitious nature chafes the other Species, yet births the greatest advancements of art, science, and magic. Collectively, they make over sixty percent of the known world's population.
Fae
The Fae-born Species descend from those whose souls entered the material realm during the second age, the Age of Growth. The land imprinted upon those souls and the bodies that formed around them. The modern ancestors of these still possess strong ties to natural locations. Fae are notoriously reclusive, sticking to the wilderness or Elven cities. Even with these grand cities, Fae only make around twenty percent of the known world's population.
Animals
Animal-born species were created by Humans with powerful rituals during the First Crisis, the ancient war between the Humans and Dragons. Each unique variant consist of a humanoid body exhibiting the visage and strengths of a particular animal. The vast number of breeds form about ten percent of any population. Each Animalfused has an animal influencer and can be affected by effects that specify they work on animals.
Magic
Similar to the animalfused Species, these creatures were originally created by infusing elements into people. There are a variety of reasons they were first created. The creation of magic-born was pioneered by humans, who made the Water and Fire Materia after proving the capability of using animals. Once the art of Soulmancy reached other species, they used it to make their own versions. Dwarves made the Cog, Gnomes made Earth Materia and Shimmer, and Elves made Shades and Air Materia. Cog have the Construct type. These Species are rare, making up only about five percent of populations.
Ancients
Descendant from the first beings to roam the world. The ebb of time has caused the bloodlines to wane from the world-shattering predecessors, yet they retain much of what made their ancestors so grand. These extremely rare creatures sometimes dwell among the other species. Ancient-born are creatures of strong emotional conviction. Some pure-blooded ancients are so powerful, they are revered by some as gods, they draw much attention wherever they go, whether wanted or not. They make up only one percent of the population.
