Welcome to Gaia! ::

Every creature that inhabits Fenrir Desert is influenced by a gift from the Dreamscape, imbued at birth and influencing the creature throughout life. The creature also develops markings indicative of its influence.



*Common Types*
Knowledge - Creatures influenced by knowledge are not usually very strong or fast, although some exceptions do occur, their strengths lie in their ability to think far ahead. These individuals are very wise, almost from birth, and are always keen to learn more, sometimes facing danger in order gain some new piece of knowledge. Markings = head, ears, neck.

Strength - Unlike the knowledgeable ones, those influenced by strength have intense physical advantages. They, like their speed cohorts, tend to rush into a situation without thinking about it, believing that their strength will solve any problem. But, their heart is always in the right place. Markings = arms, torso.

Speed - Also fast to rush in, those influenced by speed are impatient and very hyperactive, sometimes bordering on annoying. They can also be accused of wanting to work alone, trying to prove themselves worthy of something. Speed creatures are often un-knowing heroes. Markings = legs, feet.

Agility - Excellent at evading enemies and predators, those influenced by agility have lightning reflexes and an amazing acrobatic like handling of the environment. Unfortunately, their mind can be just as evasive, and they tend to hide their feelings behind bravado. Some agile-creatures are also cowards, using their ability to avoid confrontation. Markings = tail, spine.

~Rare Types~
Dream - These individuals share a rare connection with the Dreamscape. They are able to enter it freely, travel through it, learn from it, but that is the extent of their abilities. They cannot interact with it. Dream creatures are wistful and sometimes prefer their own company to a crowd, but do whatever is necessary to save friends and family. Markings = wings predominantly, plus other parts.

Nightmare - Like the dream creatures, nightmare creatures can freely interact with Dreamscape. But only those levels that deal with pain, cruelty and all manner of nasty emotions. These individuals are hard to trust because of their enjoyment of other's misery, but some rare beings do overcome the bad stereotype. Markings = wings predominantly, plus other parts.

^Special Types^
Dreamweaver - Exceptionally rare, a Dreamweaver may only be born once every 10 generations. They are usually affected by either dream or by nightmare, and unlike those types, dreamweavers can interact with the Dreamscape. They can manipulate it, affecting the physical world. Dreamweavers are sort of like the white whale in Moby d**k - very hard to find, very elusive and secretive. Markings = unknown, various.

Storyteller - A little more common than the dreamweaver, the storyteller is the keeper of legends and is instantly imbued with the Dreamscape's knowledge at birth. It is their duty to pass on the myths, the legends, and to also document new ones. Storytellers have chronicled every battle of good and evil that has ever occurred in the Dreamscape. They are very verbose and talk at length. Markings = head, arms, wings.

Not so much as familiars as they are helpful critters 3nodding All familiars cost 1k.



Cactus Ona- one of the few birds in Fenrir Desert, the Cactus Ona's diet consists almost entirely of cactus flesh and flowers, sometimes catching the odd insect now and then. It is said that Ona's have an almost sixth sense, particularly with weather and the prediction of sandstorms. It is for this reason that Ona's are kept as companions by Desert beings. They are roughly the size of a crow.

Fairy Hopper- a distant relative of the Rock-Hopper, these are much smaller, about the size of domesticated rat. They lack horns or hooves, but do possess fantastic large ears and keen eyesight. They are perfect as lookouts.

Sandwyrm- not actually related to the Sandshark, these are far more reptilian and quite anti-social with each other. However, they aren't overly intelligent and can be quite faithful to whomever feeds it. Because of the low-slung body and tiny limbs, they move like snakes through the sand, or sometimes like the Sidewinder snake on the sand's surface.



These are currently under development 3nodding Some items will be unique to each species.
