Fourth Subspecies Has Been Introduced - Tumblr Posts
ÆYLDZRITCHON SUBSPECIES
1. NEPHILIM: They’re the enormous, immensely strong offspring of angels and humans, and they can reach up to approximately 10’ 6” (320.04 cm). Human females who give birth to the Nephilim are often prematurely reincarnated into harpies or sirens. On the other hand, human males who sire a Nephilim child are often prematurely reincarnated into harpies or serpents. Both sexes have feathery patches that resemble the plumage of most birds and are usually on their back, chest, outer thighs, and crotch. Nephilim often inherited certain abilities from their angelic parents and are partially immortal as they’re prone to specific human weaknesses and being drained of their life energy. Most don’t possess true forms, but there are a few who do. The oldest generations of Nephilim were rapacious, cannibalistic, violent, and committed every kind of atrocity known to the ÆYLPHITUS. After the universal deluge that wiped out the second age of humanity, the Nephilim immediately turned their ways out of fear of extinction. Newer generations still have these animalistic, heinous instincts that the old ones possessed and abused for their own selfish desires. However, it isn’t as apparent and can only be triggered under certain circumstances.
2. CAMBION (plural noun: CAMBIONs): They’re the offspring of infernal beings and humans, and are closely related to the Nephilim. The infernal beings view them as a powerful gift and a perfected form of their kind, whilst angels see them as another corruptive pest to deal with. Human females who give birth to cambions often die during childbirth due to their demonic powers. They often appear to be humanoid with sickly pale or ashen skin, serpentine tongues, canine teeth, and clawed fingernails and toenails. Like Nephilim, they inherit certain abilities from their infernal parents and are prone to specific human weaknesses and having their life energy be drained. Unlike the Nephilim, most possess a true manifestation and it’s extremely rare if they don’t. They’re incredibly heavy and are born with an absence of noticeable breath and/or pulse until they turn seven years old. They also possess a hunger that cannot be easily satisfied and most have mischievous, vile tendencies. Due to their devilishly cunningness and angelic beauty, they’re able to persuade even the most strong-hearted to do their bidding.
3. CHANGELING (plural noun: CHANGELINGs): They’re either the offspring of a FAHELOZIND and human or two parents who belong to two different FAHELOZIND subspecies (e.g. the father is a dark elf and the mother is a manticore). The FAHELOZINDs who have a changeling child would replace stolen babies and even adults or give them to couples that want to or can’t have children. In regards to the second option, there are many reasons why they give them away to childless couples such as unrequited love, lack of appropriate resources, and sudden conflicts. If one parent is human, they inherit the abilities and certain physical traits of their FAHELOZIND parent and the specific natural weaknesses of the other. If their parents are FAHELOZINDs, they inherit certain abilities and physical characteristics from both of them. They often have ravenous appetites, display intelligence beyond human understanding, and uncanny insight.
4. DHAMPIR (plural noun: DHAMPIRs): They’re the offspring of vampires and humans who are often vampire hunters or the servants of high-ranking, noble vampires. The union between male vampires and female humans are more common, while female vampires mating with male humans is somewhat rare. They have the ability to see invisible vampires and practise various forms of magic that personally benefit them. They can create servants by afflicting lycanthropy on humans and using necromancy to bring back the dead. They possess the same abilities as their vampiric parent, but don’t have an insatiable quench for blood and aren’t weak to being staked in the heart. However, they can be burned by sunlight after a few hours and do need to occasionally drink blood in order to replenish their life energy. They lack a shadow and they often have untamed hair, a soft body, larger than normal teeth with two prominent fangs, pointed ears, clawed fingernails and toenails, and foggy or blind eyes.
5. HARPY (plural noun: HARPIES): They’re half-avian ÆYLDZRITCHONs that consisted of many members being originally human. They preside over sudden, sharp gusts of wind and are sometimes responsible for causing mysterious disappearances and food shortages. Most are agents of punishment who abducted sinners to bring to the underworld and they prefer to reside in the Circle of Barbarity. Female harpies have the heads and hanging breasts of women, which is often the only part of their original human self. Their faces are pale with hunger and they either have the avian bodies of birds of prey such as owls and certain scavengers such as vultures. These characteristics are also applied to male harpies, but they have the heads of men and no hanging breasts. Both females and males are larger than all known animals of the mortal plane and are half the height of an average human.
6. SIREN (plural noun: SIRENs): They’re all-female, humanoid ÆYLDZRITCHONs who have alluring voices and lived on islands that were surrounded by cliffs, rocks, and the sea. Similar to harpies, they’re large birds with the heads of women that reflect their past life, feathers, bare breasts, massive wings, and scaly feet. Unlike harpies, their plumage is waterproof, they possess the tails of fish, and an exposed, slightly round belly. They have the ability to shapeshift into a human in order to easily lure men to their untimely destruction. They usually target sailors and lure them to their deaths in dangerous waters with their irresistible, beguiling song. As a result of this, the sailors forget about home and leap into the sea. They try to bring the drowned men they have killed back to their habitats in order to feast upon their fresh corpses.
10. WENDIGO (plural noun: WENDIGOs): They’re fearsome, cannibalistic ÆYLDZRITCHONs who stalk and consume the flesh of humans. They’re capable of utilising their spiritual abilities to possess humans, forcing them to commit cannibalism. In order to possess humans, they have to physically bite them or enter into their dreams. Those who are more susceptible to being possessed by a wendigo are the greedy and gluttonous as well as people suffering from starvation. During spring, summer, and the first half of autumn, they appear to be human with a couple of distinct features. These distinct features are their sickly pale skin, their interconnectedness with carnivores, and misshapen teeth. They also reek of a horrible odour, one that is very reminiscent of rotting flesh. During the second half of autumn and all of winter, they appear to be emaciated with ashen skin and sunken, glowing eyes. They have two rows of yellowed, bone-crushing teeth and razor-sharp fingernails and toenails. They grow larger the more human flesh it consumes and their lips are either chewed or entirely missing as a result of their ravenous, insatiable hunger. They also have pointed ears and rough, matted reindeer hair on their backs. They preferably inhabit regions that have colder climates, especially areas that possess a lot of woodlands and lakes. All wendigos possess exceptional sharp eyesight, hearing, and sense of smell. They have phenomenal strength, agile speed, and stamina in order to stealthily stalk and overpower their victims. They can easily move through deep snow and across ice or open water without sinking. They’re nearly impossible to kill because it requires proper skill and knowledge on how to cut out their heart of ice, burn it in a fire, and destroy its spirit.
8. LYCANTHROPE or WEREWOLF (plural noun: LYCANTHROPEs or WEREWOLVES): They were originally humans who are afflicted with lycanthropy and are now forced to shape-shift into a wolf during a full moon or high noon. Humans can transform into lycanthropes either through being bitten or scratched by one. They can only change back into their human form during the day or night. Their human forms possess a swinging stride and have bristles under the tongue, curved fingernails and toenails, and fur can be seen within their wounds. They often serve as the loyal companions and fighters of vampires and/or dhampirs. They’re fairly indistinguishable from ordinary wolves save for having no tail, being larger, and retaining human eyes and a partially animalistic voice. Their aggressiveness and animalistic urges are intensified and are quite difficult to control. They possess invulnerability to conventional injury due to immediate, organic healing, superhuman speed and strength, and falling on their feet from most high places. The only weakness of lycanthropes are enchanted silver objects doused in poison.
9. ZOMBIE (plural noun: ZOMBIEs): They’re the revitalised corporal remains of deceased humans who have been brought back to life through necromancy. There are two types of zombies that are separated by their actions, intelligence, and appearances: pristine and decaying. Pristine zombies appear to be closer to humans and have their original intelligence intact. They’re capable of various actions, can react to their environment through senses and mental thought, possess a true consciousness, and all or most of their organs function properly. Decaying zombies are partially or mostly decayed with almost deteriorated brains. They’re capable of specific actions, can react to their environment through senses, and don’t possess a true consciousness. The heart, lungs, and a small part of the brain are the only functioning organs that a decaying zombie possesses. Both types rely on consuming human flesh and internal organs to replenish their life energy and slow down the process of decay. They’re both visual and auditory predators, identifying living creatures through sight and are attracted to loud noises.
