  1. ❀✿==------------------------------==✿❀ ❀✿==--------------- ---------------==✿❀ Source It is said that beneath the light of a full and pale moon, the border between the realm of the fae and the mortal world is at its thinnest. During these twilight hours, a faint spore or seed might slip through a fae ring, the contact points of these realms, and out into the mortal world. These journeymen of the fae will seek to root, and grow, and thrive in this new world. Yet they stand alone and vulnerable, so they seek out a host to bond with. Descendants, bearers of superior souls, are the perfect hosts for this transformation. The plant, upon its full growth, shall reach out and draw in a soul which it finds most suitable with melodic calls that the descendant will find intensely difficult to reject. Should the descendant be brought before the otherworldly plant, they will be bid to rest and let their body be devoured. In this act, the plant will bind its soul to that of the descendant, before fundamentally remaking their new companion’s body from the very fibers of the plant’s own form. Leaves for hair, heartwood for bones, all will be changed until not even the divine recognizes the cursed as a child of the four. Redlines ❀✿==------------------------------==✿❀ The Fae Plant ❀✿==--------------- ---------------==✿❀ Source Within the Fae Realm, truly magical and wondrous plantlife is even more common than their mundane cousins in the material world. While ordinary amongst their own kind, in the mortal realm they are often outlandish spires of luminescence or abnormal size. To the epiphyte, the fae plant is like a beloved friend and favored child all at once. Even should an epiphyte experience the most traumatic of transformations and despise their own cursed existence, they will still find the plant utterly faultless in their eyes. For in truth, the plant warps body, mind, and soul alike, ensuring their bonded soul is as suited for the fae’s needs as possible. The needs of their plant, especially should it come into danger, will come before all else. To reject the needs of the fae plant is a feat of extreme willpower. Wounds upon the fae plant will also mirror, to a minor degree, upon the epiphyte after some time. For instance, should an axe be chopped into the side of an epiphyte's tree, a scrape or shallow cut might appear on the body of the epiphyte. Should the plant’s body die entirely, a sense of despair and horrific pain will soon overwhelm the epiphyte until they replant their kin. Fae plants are similar to but not exact replicas of their mundane counterparts. A fae oak might have pink leaves which glow softly in the night air, while a toadstool might grow to a tremendous size and bear multiple fruiting bodies. The number and variety of these traits is rather extensive, but a plant will always present at least one of the following: Abnormal Size: A fae plant might be significantly larger than its mundane counterpart, though never larger than an oak tree. For instance, a mere dandelion might possess a flower that blooms to the size of a large pumpkin. Mana Luminescence: All fae plants bear potent ‘fae energy’ which can sometimes radiate off of the plant from specific sections of the body. This color will sometimes, but not always, correlate with their epiphyte’s aura color. These lights can sometimes even branch off from the plant, floating about it like fireflies or similar. Variant Coloration: Colors which stray from those of their natural counterparts. For instance, a rose bush epiphyte might possess pearly white bark and flowers of a deep black. Demifae Menagerie: Occasionally, small critters might be caught or pass within the range of the fae plant’s roots, brought back in a similar manner to the epiphyte themselves. For instance, a moth around a fae flytrap might bear wings made of the plant’s maw. Irregular Growth: Fae plants will often be shaped in a noticeably different way from their counterparts in the mundane realm. A pine tree could curve into a crook or spiral for instance, or a fungi could possess multiple fruiting bodies. Kuila Formations: In rare circumstances, often manifesting in the fae plants of druids, formations of kuila crystal might begin to encrust the plant. A giant fae pumpkin might bristle with evergreen kuila crystal, for instance. Redlines ❀✿==------------------------------==✿❀ The Epiphyte ❀✿==--------------- ---------------==✿❀ Source Epiphytes exist essentially as a collection of plant material which bears a close resemblance to their original self. Despite this similar appearance, not one part of their body is of their old descendant self, all fundamentally remade out of the same material as their fae plant. Their existence is that of a demifae, not born as a fae but sharing many of the same properties and weaknesses of their eternal cousins. While the descendant a fae plant chooses seems random, the correlation between the plant and the traits of said descendant suggests the fae plant may purposefully lure souls which resonate with it the best to ensure a strong bond. Epiphytes come in three varieties. Dryophytes, those traditionally called dryads, are epiphytes bound to a fae tree of some variety. Bryophytes are epiphytes bound to a herbaceous, non-tree plant, while saprophytes are epiphytes bound to fungal organisms. These different kinds might possess minor differences depending on their type. A bryophyte bound to a fly trap might be purely carnivorous and require consistent light exposure, while a saprophyte can often eat even decomposing material and will grow sick when in the light for too long. In order to properly move, the plant material composing an epiphyte is softened to a degree that is at best equivalent to that of a descendant. This means the bark skin of a dryophyte will be no tougher than ordinary descendant skin. Epiphytes retain the same lifespan of their original descendant race as well, as well as retaining the curses from said race upon themselves. Epiphytes bear several strengths and weaknesses associated with their plant-based demifae nature: Strengths Natural: Being demifae composed of natural material, druidic blight healing will bear an effect upon them. Additionally, they can go within areas of extreme fae influence, such as a fae ring, as if they were a druid. Living plant matter set against their form will also be maintained, allowing an epiphyte to occasionally have such things growing against them. Environmental: Epiphytes inherit the environmental tolerance of their plant. For instance, the epiphyte of a cactus will find themselves much more suited to a dry and hot environment. This only applies to circumstantial environmental effects and nothing else. A tree resistant to fire will not make the epiphyte any more resistant to fire than the average descendant. Weaknesses Corruptive Magics: Epiphytes have a natural disdain for voidal magic and dark magics natural to all of their fae cousins. The casting of a dark or void spell within 10 meters of them will cause the epiphyte to grow somewhat nauseous. This nausea becomes too debilitating to focus within the range of a proper voidal influence, such as a voidstalker, voidal obelisk, or voidal tear. Greater sources of these, or spells which corrupt specifically, might blight the epiphyte akin to a tree lord. When blighted (which takes at most 2 weeks after exposure) the epiphyte will become a feral and violent husk of their former selves until cured by druidic means. Holy Magics: As beings with altered souls, holy magics such as paladinism will grant no succor to an epiphyte. No healing, bolstering, or beneficial effects can be bestowed on the epiphyte even as collateral. Azhl: The bane of all fae, azhl will afflict the epiphyte with a blight that fully corrupts them within 10 emotes of a wound upon flesh. Their body grows withered and rotten, the effects of azhl anemia fully setting in until cured by druidic or other means. Epiphytes so innately despise the metal that even seeing it will cause a great surge of hatred to well up towards the metal. Thanhium: Thanhic poisoning will, along with disabling all of the epiphyte's abilities, cause their connection with the fae plant to become disrupted, no longer able to tell where their plant is innately. This will send the epiphyte into a wild, panicked frenzy until they are able to confirm the safety of their plant. Fire: Being made of floral material, epiphytes are somewhat easier to burn than most descendants. Burns will increase by one degree from what they would yield normal. This applies to all forms of fire, both magical and mundane, including dragonsflame and malflame. Aurum: Due to their connection to a plane beyond the material, aurum will afflict a searing pain should it strike into their flesh. The pain is proportional to the size of the wound inflicted, with a pin prick being barely noticeable and a full slash being debilitating. General Epiphyte Redlines ❀✿==------------------------------==✿❀ The Cycle of Rebirth ❀✿ ✿❀ Source The natural world is a thing of constant cycles. Things grow only to recede and grow again, like the wax and wane of the pale moon. Being brought within nature’s grasp is no excuse to forgo participation in this cycle. The bodies of epiphytes are made from a material which is not designed to handle the strain of decades of movement, and so they must constantly be reborn again and again. In 10 to 50 year cycles, the epiphyte will experience a passage of seasons, their body growing more vibrant only to fade and shrivel away. A new body will be born from the fae plant, fully developed though often lost and confused. Memories slowly will return to them or, in rare cases, not at all. Epiphytes undergo this process in four loose “seasons:’ The Season of Youth, Spring: After their first transformation, or after each rebirth, epiphytes will find themselves like a youthful sprout, often with floral features which have not fully developed or bloomed. Sometimes epiphytes in this stage will experience a flux in personality due to the uncertainty of their changing life. Epiphytes of this stage appear youthful but never childlike, akin to elves. The Season of Vibrance, Summer: The ‘default’ state of most epiphytes, and often the longest season of their cycle. By this stage, the turmoil of transformation has usually passed, especially after future rebirths, allowing them to be a more accurate depiction of their true selves. The Season of Wisdom, Autumn: As their next rebirth approaches, epiphytes will begin to show graceful signs of ‘aging’ as their body wears down. Slight wrinkles where there were none, autumnal colors, slight fungal growths across the skin, and many other things are possible in this state. The Season of Dimming, Winter: The final stage which foretells the approach of a rebirth, epiphytes in their winter season will often display full browning, decay, or shedding of their foliage. Their bodies often become more and more withered and ragged the closer they get to their rebirth. Emotions will often flux during this stage, sometimes leading to foreboding despair but other times to relieved acceptance. Each rebirth can result in a shift in appearance, the form drifting more and more from that of the original descendant. Feet might become collections of roots, hair foliage might become more inflexible and inhuman, growths might sprout from their limbs, and in the cases of plants which have had animal corpses left in their roots animalistic features such as horns or cloven hooves might present themselves. These changes are progressive rather than happening instantly, growing more notable with each rebirth. The connection between souls will grow between each rebirth, growing too strong for even the aspects to sever by the sixth rebirth. At the six rebirth at the latest, the souls will be so entwined that the epiphytes will be pulled with the plant on their final death, fated to be reborn as a great fae plant and produce more seeds, continuing the eternal cycle. Redlines ❀✿==------------------------------==✿❀ Abilities ❀✿==--------------- ---------------==✿❀ Source Connection [Non Combative] [Passive] Innate to all epiphytes is the connection to the fae plant. Epiphytes are constantly aware of where their fae plant is, able to feel the sensations it experiences, and even able to empathically communicate with them should they be close enough. This communication is something deeper and more emotional than anything possible with the mortal tongue, or even druidic communion. Additionally, epiphytes may manifest their connection in the form of animated plant material of their fae plant. This can be something such as a bird made of swirling petals, a spider of fungal mycelium, or merely a very lively clump of leaves. These manifestations bear the personality of the fae plant, though it is not truly the plant in the flesh. Sowing [Combative] Epiphytes, being fundamentally kin to the plant which created them, can produce seeds of the mundane variety of their plant continuously. While this has no application in a combative situation on its own, these seeds can be used by druids for the growth spell in combat as any mundane seed could. Performing sowing in a combative situation requires at least [1] emote to perform, scattering seeds over a 1 meter by 1 meter section of ground. Out of combat, should a fae plant die or be in an area of extreme danger such as within the radius of a voidal tear, an epiphyte may produce a single fae seed with a great deal of pain and effort. Producing this seed will immediately cause the fae plant to shrivel and die, its soul transferring over when the new plant has been put into the earth. Budding [Combative] To all fae plants, the ability to mimic organic matter with their own floral material is an inherent quality, one that the epiphyte is themselves able to reproduce to a minor degree. In [2] emotes in combative situations, an epiphyte can cause a floral item to sprout from their body. This floral item is made of the same material as them but mimics the properties of the herb or plant from which it was copied. This herb may then be cut from their body and used, or left to remain on their body. Should an epiphyte understand perfectly how to process a herb, they may instead cause a salve or liquid to seep from a finger, possessing the properties of that processed herb. Uniquely, only the beneficial properties of herbs are copied this way. Regrowing [Non Combative] [Passive] Being floral beings, the way an epiphyte’s body regenerates is fundamentally different and more potent than a descendant. Out of combat, minor wounds such as scrapes and such will heal within at most a narrative hour without intervention. Moderate wounds, such as fractured bones, shallow wounds, second degree or lesser burns or similar will require a narrative day to heal, and only sometimes require medical attention. Major wounds, such as deep wounds, punctured organs of most kinds, broken bones, or third degree burns and similar, require medical action to be performed before then lest it become infected or the epiphyte bleed out in most cases, though they will fully heal after an ooc day. Extreme wounds, such as severed limbs, lost eyes, brain injuries, or similar will require an ooc week to fully recover, and will almost always require some form of immediate medical treatment. Quaking [Non Combative] Epiphytes, much like the slumbering kin of the weald, possess a minor ability to ‘awaken’ their body to produce various effects when not under strain. Be this moving their floral hair, producing and manipulating clouds of leaves or petals, changing coloration, causing parts of their body to glow or shimmer, project seeds at annoying individuals, or any other other harmless flavorful action which the epiphyte might produce, using their floral material and floral items they have consumed. Unlike quaking, budding cannot make permanent creations or alterations. All uses of quaking take at least [1] emote to perform. ❀✿==------------------------------==✿❀ (OOC) ❀✿==------------------------------==✿❀ ❀✿==------------------------------==✿❀ Source
