The World of Telim

[esterainfo]

Thank you to everyone who has been patient with me as life and events got in the way of me working on this project. I'm hoping with the new group I'm going to be working with I'll be able to get this going and really give you a better understanding of this project and the world. -Eli

I’m going to beginning work on Estera again. Most of the work is going to happen off the blog so we can post cohesive and full ideas.

[dropdafiesch]

Due to getting a job and moving the plot and race posts have been a bit delayed. Also I would like to know if anyone is still interested?

[esterainfo]

Hiya! As a messenger, do you think Blaize will still be useful in your world?

Yes actually I'd be perfectly okay if anyone would like to adapt their theocracy project oc to the world of Estera just remember there would be happier backgrounds and no illegal human testing all that jazz

[esterainfo]

Also need to explain humans more might take out the cyborg option and go with magic enhancements I'm not sure. Needs to be discussed. -Eli

Vampires and Werewolves

(Hi sorry for the long absence shit got crazy with my personal life but we are back) Werewolves and vampires are not magical. As the victims of a mutated curse and disease they hold no magical powers and the disease that causes werewolves it only effects humans (sMe goes for vampirism). Werewolves can be born into a family of werewolves or they contract the condition through being bitten by a werewolf. While full moons will force a change werewolves can change at will. Vampires are the result of an old curse and once again only effects humans. Vampirism can only be contacted through contact with their blood as the contagion and curse are carried in their blood but a small drop will not infect you it needs to be a larger amount or prolonged exposure or coming in contact with the original curse which is rare and almost impossible. Both werewolves and vampires are physically stronger than a human and can lift up to three times their own body weight though doing so for extended periods of time will wear them out. There are many blood substitutes for vampires as well as store sold potions to prevent burning in sun. Both werewolves and vampires are treated like that second cousin you don’t really talk to and no one likes because of their condition and they often live in slums or in outskirts of cities on occasion they live in abandoned castles or uninhibited woodland areas.

Send us races you would like info on so we can figure out which race we should get info out on next.

Quick question, for demon characters, are there different options? (like how for humans, there's cyborg, ordinary human, and summoner?)

Jakz and I have discussed since most of the demons and monsters live in a more tribal like setting there would be on occasion shamanistic powers which would be obtained through devotion to their god but they would give up their natural born powers for it. Like the fae demons and monsters affect the area around them like causing plants to grow faster or healthier, bringing minor misfortune or fortune depending on if they are happy or sad that kind of thing. Sorry of I'm not explaining it well jakz is better at this than I am. -eli

[esterainfo]

Sorry for the delay some personal stuff came up but jakz and I will be back to work on this. Also if you wanna test run your ocs rp using the Estera rp tag. Love you all -eli

[esterainfo]

Question about fairies/fae. What are they like? I have a species of fairy that I made up a long time ago, and they might work in this world. What would be the best way to see if a character from this race would work?

Best thing I’d say is wait for jakz and I to post the race info for the race you have a question about and if you have any further questions ask us then. Please be patient with us as we try to get this organized. -eli

Demons in Telim

Demons in Telim are actually a very different type of creature from in other worlds. They are not denizens of another plane or an underworld, but rather it is a name given to the genetically diversified race the Demon Islands take their names from. Originally a large group of exiled fae banished before The Great Wars, these original founders came from many different types of fae. Over time they bred together, intermingled, and mixed with the races native to the isle to create a large and diverse new race. The appearances and magical abilities of these peoples are extremely diverse and run a wide range. They all cast magic instinctively, like most other magical creatures.

IT SHOULD BE NOTED: Demons and Devils are not the same things. Demons are the genetically interbred peoples of the Demon Islands, originally exiled Fae. Devils are creatures from the lower planes, incorporeal beings that cannot manifest on our plane without the aid of the summoner. Calling a Demon a Devil is considered quite rude, and many will take offense to this.

((So demons are kinda like Australians, huh? -Jakz))

Mixed Blood Magic

In Telim, magic is a wide, and extremely varied subject of scrutiny. Perhaps the most widely seen is the magical powers discovered among the children of mixed blood parents. In this case, mixed blood refers to the child of a human and a magical creature. In these cases, the magic of an individual can manifest in one of two ways: A wizard, or a psionic talent.

A wizard casts magic using spells they have learned through their travels, or from an institute of magical learning. Collected in a tome, scroll, book, or some other item they carry on their person, these spells require regular study so the wizard doesn't make a mistake when casting. These kind of castings are a series of memorized words, imbued with an effort of will to enact magic upon the world. Wizards are bound to an element when they come into their powers, and they are all but completely restricted to this element. While a few spells from the other elements may be learned, they are all of very low power, and very few in number.

A psionic talent is a mental ability that the magic user is born with. Only one will manifest in each psionic, and it is impossible for such a caster to have more than one ability. This is an instinctual ability controlled by a conscious effort of their mind. Powers in this vein include such abilities as telekinesis, pyrokinesis, astral projection, empathy, and others.
