◤Key Terms◥
** These characters are in a world I created so here are some terms to help you understand my head...you can skim LOL :
** Feel free to use ctrl+ F to find the term you're looking for.
✖ Grake- Human bonded with an animal spirit, they gain small attributes the animal has, like slightly better sight or hostility etc. They are shunned by most Humans. It takes five years until they beomce a full-fledged Grake, and there's a myth that somewhere, there's something that can make them human again before those five years are up.
➦example: Lynia, who doesn't want to become a Grake.
✖ Red Grake:- Red Grakes are the oldest of grakes, up to 4 millenia or so old. They are considered very higher in Grakes Societies. Red Grakes are also the offspring of a human and Red Grake, but they do no have the ears. Red Grakes often have many Connets from the Pets they get.
➦example: Tituba, whose skin is red and covered in connets, some hidden others shown.
✖ Pet- The animal spirit that bonded to the Human (newly Grake). They both age for 4 years (where the pet goes from baby->adult) then they both stop aging, Pets cannot be too far from their Grakes or it disturbs their mental link. They can be identified by unusal markings/size. Grakes can have many Pets, as many as they can find.
➦example: Quev Who has yet to have a page...
✖ Red Pet- A human "Pet". Only select Red Grakes can have a Red Pet; The Red Pet finds the Grake, sometimes not at all. They go through the 4 year growth, but stop at a preteen's age, and can be as far from a Grake as they want. A Grake can only have one Red Pet in all their life time.
➦example: Serenitee who found Lynia after three years.
✖ Half-Grake- Offspring of a Red Pet and Human. They can't breed, and stop aging at a random age that they cannot control. They inherit animal features, but not so much the powers. They often have ears or tails. Like Grakes, not many Humans accept them.
➦example: Kekuntan, who has his tail and big ears.
✖ Connet - An item or marking Grakes get when they get a new Pet. On Red Grakes they often have something similar to their Grake's Connet on themselves.
➦example: Zenennalia's cheek.
✖ Mystic - Often thought of a magician. They can have powers over many things, time, elements, people, or things like luck. Mystics only appear in Humans, and generally live in their own villages. Some mystics don't even realize what they are their entire lifetimes.
➦example: Nadine who lives in a Mystic Town, or Milosh who didn't believe he was a Mystic.
✖N-Fash - With the Grakes coming along, their animal characteristics have changed their clothing, and showing more skin all over the world has become more acceptable. A big turning point in clothing was when Euigene was hired by the Royals, he brought his visions into the Castle Town and it spread like an epidemic. It has many brighter colors, more revealing in some cases, and an overall flashy look. N-Fash is a nickname given by the people for "New Fashion".
➦example: Tywys' outfit shows her stomach and is very colorful compared to Lynia's outfit.
✖ Clothing/Signs - The towns and cities created signs and designs on clothing to show their relations with grakes.
➦example: Serenitee's dress and shoes, with the double X's.
I'll make a chart with the meanings soon.
