Bloodlines

Bloodlines are the skybound settings equivalent of 'races'

Each character has a bloodline, this determines a number of physical traits. All player characters come from 'ren' bloodlines, as these are the characters that have the ability to use many forms of magic.

There are 12 bloodline roots to choose from:

Huren (All Born)

Huren are the most common bloodline root, they are the result of bloodlines mixing and as such have no particular weaknesses.

Alfiren (Alfir Born)

The oldest ren bloodline are the Alfiren, decendants of the first people, the alfir, alfiren came about form alfir that left their homelands or mixed with other alfir, they have the most powerful magic but their 'pure' magic comes at the cost of varied resistance, and limited heart marks.

Draren (Dragon Born)

Draren are born from efforts of the old dragon to prevent their kind from going extinct, they have small but powerful matriarchal societies and value self improvement and family to foster draren worthy of the power and lineage of the dragon.

Falren (All Born)

Falren are the remains of the Alfir bloodlines whose homelands did not join the endless sky, they settled in new regions with strong magic regions close to their affinity but were changed by it, unlike alfir they are strongly physical, rather than magical. They only ever have a mixed magic type heart mark matching their skin patterns.

Falren have two mindstones, one magic and one physical.

Deiren (Mist Born)

Deiren are an unfortunate bloodline, born when a child does not get enough magic for proper development, this can be from being caught in the mist while pregnant or other situations. They are easily possessed by demons and have a bad reputation.

Nueren (New Born)

The 'youngest' bloodline, the Nueren are Huren that have lived for multiple generations at locations with strong magic regions of a specific type. Their skin and hair manifests elemental properties, but their heart mark is always matching their type.

Voren (Hunter Born)

Voren are born from hunter beasts, but are quite prolific across the world, they get along in groups but can be a restless.

Dyren (Herd Born)

The second most common bloodline, the Dyren are widely loved and accepted into almost all communities, they are hard workers and highly compassionate. Born from the great beasts that nurtured and cared for their people, the Dyren are adored, respected.

Soren (Sky Born)

Soren, born from the great sky beasts are the only bloodline capable of flight, they love to travel the world and are often employed as messengers or couriers, but they also like to return to their place of birth periodically. They are quite light for their size, and usually wear glasses when not flying.

Myren (Sea Born)

Myren are derived from the water beasts, they are great swimmers but that does not limit them, they are strong and reliable, and have a proficienty for doing things alongisde others.

Reptiren (Scale Born)

Reptiren are a large, tough and sturdy bloodline descended from the great scaled beasts, they are not very social but are honest and have a rigid code of honor, they are great warriors and can be quite stoic, while people don't tend to have many reptiren friends, they do trust them. But the snakes abuse this trust.

Sectiren (Chitin Born)

Sectiren are a bloodline born from the great bugs, they can be found around the world in small numbers, due mostly to the odd way they interact with others. Sectiren do not display emotion as freely as other races in their faces or voices, and their movements suddenly vary between slow and fluid to quick and jerky. These features unsettle people however none can deny the skill and professionalism of Sectrien, even if they can never be sure what they are thinking, though it seems the Sectrien always know what others are thinking. . .
