❦ Sprites ❦

“The luminous souls of the wilds...”

❦ Origin ❦


Exactly how these small creatures came to be is still a mystery. Perhaps the Creator brought them to being or Cerridwen’s breath on the mortal realm. Whatever the case, these small wonders of the woods can be seen many a night far into the forest lighting the darkness like fireflies.
Sprites are known for their mischievous nature, some going as far as to call them ‘The Tricksters in Flight’. These creatures will almost never pass up an opportunity to torment the traveler in any way they can. However, that is only if one can find an area in which they live. They prefer calm, serene sections of the forest, preferably with no mortal interference on the landscape.
For those well versed in Sprites, it is said that they hold important jobs such as changing the seasons but no one has ever recorded seeing such an event. In fact, most have never seen these creatures do much at all and doubt they can. Sprites are known for their short attention spans. Imagine them as a child with wings who needs surprises to keep them interested.

❦ Appearance ❦


-Sprites stand about 5-7 inches with Elf-like features and translucent wings sprouting from their backs.
-Sprites are genderless, but do take on masculine and feminine appearances, oftentimes being referred as male or female, despite being asexual.
-Sprites clothe themselves in flower petals and any soft, pliable forest-growths they can find.
-Sprites speak an odd tongue that can be learned but is quite difficult for Descendant minds to understand.
-Sprites are minuscule Fae that are birthed from a flower known as the Acerfolia, which can only be grown in the most pristine and untouched expanses of the wilds. Much like a normal plant, the Sprite is the equivalent to the Acerfolia’s fruit, being it’s ultimate product after it is bloomed. Eventually, when the flower does complete blooming, and the Sprite is released, the Acerfolia will wither and die shortly afterward. Upon dying, a Sprite will be reborn from a new flower, containing within their mind the information required for survival.


❦ Color ❦
The color of the sprite determines almost exactly some of the mannerisms of the Sprite, similar to how a mage’s aura is defined by their own personality. There is no definite reason as to how, or why the Sprites are born as these particular colors however, it is simply a random factor.

 


❦ Green ❦

“Wisdom and immaturity in a stunning union.”

Sprites born with the color green are wiser and more intellectual than their kin- often more keen to learn something new. They can provide interesting outlooks upon a situation based on their observations, and are even known to have a larger attention span.

❦ Blue ❦

“Curious and kind.”

Sprites born with the color blue are considered the most likable of all. They are known to be the first to explore, and the first to make a new friend. Taking that in mind, they are much more adventurous than their kin, wanting to seek new places and new friends, which can often lead to trouble.

❦ Sky Blue ❦

“Deceit and deception in the wings of the sky.”

Sprites born with the color of the sky are known to be the most deceitful. They use their similar coloring to their blue kin to lure people to trust them, only to torment them and trick them for their own amusement.

❦ Grey ❦

“Laziness and ambition in the wings of the clouds.”

Sprites born with the color grey are very similar to their sky-colored kin, appearing to be much more sickly, or oftentimes gloomy, in a depressed manner. It is because of this, they are able to manipulate sympathetic people to do their bidding.

❦ Red ❦

“Rage.”

Sprites born of the color red are known to have a temper and fuse that is near as short as their own height. They are judgmental, rude, and apathetic, their level of dislike only being below Black and Yellow Sprites.

 

❦ Black ❦

dark_fairy_by_alexruizart-d9k8vd9.jpg

 

“Anathema embodied in the smallest of souls.”

 

The rarest of their kin, this Sprite possesses a heart as black as it’s very visage, wishing pain upon those whom it may face, with tendencies to wreak havoc and pandemonium as much as it can. They are to be wary of, as these little cretins possess naught a drop of compassion within them.

 

❦ Purple ❦

 

3540615687_1866cc1fdd.jpg

 

“The mediator of their kin.”

 

A Purple Sprite, alternatively violet, is the embodiment of balance, matched with the mindsets of both Red and Blue, they are believed to be wise and level-headed, more so than any of their kin.

 

❦ White ❦

 

silver-fairy-annie-by-cosmosue.jpg

 

“Those of innocent heart.”

 

Sprites of absent color are pure and kind, admittedly the most bright of their kin (Literally), they have oftentimes been mistaken for starlight in the darkest of nights. To those lost in the woods, these Sprites have been known to guide to safety, using the prominent luminescence of their body as a beacon.

 

❦ Yellow ❦

 

golden_fairy_by_telthona-d5tap7c.png

“Manipulative and Mean.”

 

The oddly yellow colored Sprite possesses an alien aura to it, they are daring and cruel, using emotional manipulation to instill fear unto their kin and use their reactions for their own amusement. They are the most mischievous and tricky of Sprites, and much like Black Sprites, are to be wary of.


❦ Acerfolia ❦
 

d5c7a70924a5e9053079d9849270bdc5.png

    The Acerfolia is a small flower with a large oval shaped bud and triangular leaves. It grows five inches from the ground, and is the birthplace of all Sprites. They can only be found in sections of warm forests near streams. After the span of about six weeks, the bud will flourish and a Sprite will be born from it. There is usually only one to two places in a realm where these flowers grow. When a sprite dies, another flower will sprout in one of these locations.
 

Though it is rare, reproduction between Sprites is not unheard of among those of their species… Sprites are capable of reproducing through hermaphroditic fertilization of spores. If successful, the product of such a ritual shall be a minuscule seed, the seed of a flower. The proper fertilization and creation of an Acerfolia seed is extremely rare however, only one out of every ten will actually be able to produce a Sprite. Normal flowers that are formed however, are still considered to be children by the Sprites who created them, and will be taken care of dearly. Should the fertilization be a full success, a magical seed shall be formed, that of the Acerfolia, and from here it is to the discretion of the parents where they bury it. However, it must be buried in a place where it would remain undisturbed, a place rich with life and soil saturated healthily by water, otherwise it will never live to bloom. From here, the seed will grow slowly, taking anywhere from eight months to a year to reach it’s bloom, and release with it, a new Sprite

❦ Advantages/Disadvantages ❦

+ May commune with nature easily.
+ Despite their mischievous and often dull appearances, they are extremely intelligent.
+ Sprites may fly, but no higher than that of an Olog (Three Blocks), as they would exert too much energy whilst attempting to fight back against gravity. Due to using too much energy they would need a surface to rest on before taking flight once again.

- They may not learn magic due to their natural origin.
- Sprites can not wield the weapons of the Descendants, as they are much too small.
- Due to their small bodies, and overall weakness, they are easy to take hold of and imprison.
-Not many of the Sprites exist, If one was to destroy the flower during the development or destroy the tree around the flower. Before the Sprite is born, the sprite will die.
- Injuring the wings of a sprite can be potentially fatal, as the sprites main blood vessels are located there. Theirs wings are of the same material as their body, of plant.
-Magic is super effective towards the sprites and can kill them quickly due to their connection to nature.
- They can learn the Common tongue but it would be difficult due to their poor attention spans.

- Sprite, when consumed are practically toxic, as after death they are reduced to a fine, gray ash. This metaphorical pixie dust will not grant any flight, but instead will lead to an extremely quick and painful death.



❦ Redlines ❦


- They may not be domesticated, as they are entirely sentient beings, not animals.
- Sprites can only thrive in areas filled with natural life, such as forests. Deserts and tainted areas are practically deadly.
- They are incapable of learning any form of magic, however they may communicate with Flora and Fauna. However, they are not connected to Druidism in any form.


 

❦ Questions and Answers ❦

Spoiler

 

Q: How do I become a sprite?

A: Contact the lore owner, which is currently me. (Zeeer0)

 

Q: Why are you making another thread about this after it’s been accepted?

A: This revamp was made, as to add, change and tweak some things on the lore, even though I made the first batch of Sprites in Athera, then issues happened. Lego reformed them then soon decided to hand down the lore to myself upon his leaving the server.

 

Q: How can Sprites understand common but not speak it?

A: This is related to the communion of nature, using plant and wildlife around them as a form of interpretation, as… Nature sees and hears everything.

do they have to be elf-like? can you cross-breed an uruk and sprite to get a green complexion and tusks/horns?

and yes, i did read the above text...

it says: "The Acerfolia" ... "is the birthplace of all Sprites" but it never said anything about the possibility half-Sprites or offsping? (unless my eyes skipped over it...)

I am afraid not, Master Orc. They can not interbreed as they do not reproduce whatsoever.

i don't think genderless equates to unable to breed.

in other fantasy-based things, creatures(perhaps aliens) are able to extract DNA from other species to create offspring

Until genetic cloning is implemented into lore, I will have to say that it means exactly what it does. By no means are Sprites able to reproduce sexually or otherwise. Their only source of origin is through the blossoming of an Acerfolia flower, in which they are the product.

Going to answer if simply, Sprites are not elf like, no source of other race DNA in them. Sprites are Sprites. Nothing like Dryads as they are female elf women. Sprites are like the Deer people subtract the antlers and deer part. If that helped? Just woke up

does this mean that the Acerfolia has fruit as well as Sprite? it says "equivalent to the Acerfolia's fruit," implying that it does have fruit.

so how was the first Sprite or Acerfolia made? i guess this is just like "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" is there a finite amount of them?

"Sprites can only thrive in areas filled with natural life, such as forests. Deserts and tainted areas are practically deadly."

if a Sprite dies in a desert/tainted area, would a Sprite still be reborn from a new flower? (i am assuming that the new flower's location would be at the same location that the Sprite dies at)

1. Correct, one sprite per flower.

2. There is origin of how the Sprite was made in Athera, the Sprite group decided its best to keep it a mystery and whoever was in the event line in Athera that saw the birthing of the sprites. Flower before Sprite. The flower/s would vary how much can be grown, it can be just one, or two even a patch. Plants are strange.

3. When a sprite dies, where its original flower was at. Think of like a cloning system of the future or a last saved. They would awake from their birthplace. Their birth flower does not die as they are born.

4. Elf-like features, is the best way to think of them of. But they do not have the elven ears, just small and slim like. 
Sorry if that doesn't fully help, still waking up before work.

does the fruit of an Acerfolia contain seeds that are used to make more Acerfolia?

 

if a Sprite's birth flower dies, then is the Sprite unable to be reborn?
