3 8 & 11 for the ask game? hope ur doing okay :)

GOOD LIRD I DIDNT SEE THIS TILL NOW . SORRY :3

i’m putting the summary response first so you know what im talking abt, so this world has 6 types of genetic magic and 5 skill levels for each, there’s the typical air water fire earth, then there’s light, and then there’s a type that can use the first most basic skill level for the other 5. <- those guys are oppressed and genocided, also sort of the light ppl but to a lesser extent. it mainly takes place on an underwater island, that was sunken by magic users during a civil war ABOUT the oppression, unfortunately it was blamed on the oppressed and they were all killed unless they escaped the island.

so the main character of the actual story lives 2 some centuries after that war, the magic racism is still alive and well and it’s getting kinda worse for the light ppl. but holy shit she finds out that she’s half light person!?!??!11?!?11!?? (bc of how the genetics works light is the only magic that someone can have alongside another, she has fire + light) so she tries to hide it from everybody while learning abt her new magic and she realizes she’s been propagandized her whole life. and then there’s conveniently someone from the genocided magic group and he’s from the surface, and she escapes w him back to the surface and (this is where it gets hazyish) joins the rebellion . and also meets her mom who she thought was dead or something. yeag 👍🏽

ANYWAYS motifs. i have no clue how well i’ll execute them but our main girl is not a fan of living underwater so the water is gonna represent death and discomfort and a lack of belonging and such, while the sun (and all other above ground things) are gonna be life and joy and natural beauty. the island is also called sunora and the land it’s off the coast of is monalia, something something sun and moon. and main girls name is solana bc i’m sooo subtle. but it’s gonna be so fun writing her experiencing all that stuff for the first time :3

so the worldbuilding. glaringly obviously atla inspired, also the lost city of atlantis i guess. i promise i’m cooking guys. but also i saw a tumblr post a while ago i can’t find it anymore but it said if you need words for your fiction just take words that describe it and mismatch them. i do NOT remember how i got what i got but it kinda fits the vibes so i’d say it worked. the names of the magic are bowamagia (water, blue) doremagia (earth, green) wiramagia (air, gray) filamagia (fire, red) chromagia (light, gold) and poleamagia (all, purple) also the colors associated w that magic are the color of the users eyes. so solana has heterochromia. bc i am smart and big brained

Unfortunately, you're too cool for me to use this ask box for the purpose labelled on the tin, so please take these questions about your, Sunora (I hope I spelled that right) plot.

What is color magic? What does it do? Why is it stigmatized?

What's the etymology of the names for each type of magic, I've never heard those called that and I'm curious!

How exactly does fire magic work underwater?

How do they enforce the outlawing of those with all magic? Is it a eugenics thing of just killing kids/teens/whatever-age-they're-found-out who seem to have it or is it through some other method that would prevent them from using it?

Do all people have magic in one of the forms or is it a trait that only some people have?

How does Solana's fire magic seem to "weaken"? Is it harder to do or is it just straight up putting up less power, like a battery that's about to die?

thank you so much for this ask 🫶🏽‼️‼️ i hope this explains it well enough (putting it under cut cuz it’s kinda long lol)

color magic is known as chromagia in this world, basically what it does is manipulate light and colors. the reason it’s stigmatized is bc of hate groups formed of ppl w elemental magic (fire water air earth yknow) who are known as elemental supremacists, they believe non elemental magic (like chromagia) is inferior and dangerous. the other non elemental magic, poleamagia, is seen as the worst bc it has one ability from each elemental magic and chromagia, which is why it’s “dangerous” (it’s not more powerful, just more versatile, but that still scares these ppl)

honestly the only one that has any real life meaning is chromagia, chrome meaning color, the others are from taking a bunch of words related to the concept, mashing the initials together and tinkering w it until it sounded acceptable, then slapping -magia on the end (which just means magic). i got that tip from a tumblr post that i can’t find anymore lol

they’re in this sort of bunker thing! think hunger games district 13. they’re essentially underground except there’s water if you go outside. it doesn’t interfere w any of the powers cuz they’re just inside all the time

at the beginning they just executed all the poleamages who survived the war, which caused the island Sunora to sink underwater in the first place. it’s widely believed that poleamage activists were behind the sinking, so the government used that to justify their genocide, and since magic is genetic, there weren’t any after (so it sort of is eugenics yeah). they couldn’t do anything abt the poleamages who escaped before it sank. as of right now there are zero poleamages on Sunora, but if there was somehow one alive the government would just kill them, if they couldn’t do that they’d probably have them under constant surveillance

yes, everyone has magic. the type you get is genetic, and you have it from birth but it’s weak, you train it and become more powerful as you grow up, like a muscle. elemental magic is evenly dominant so a mixed kid among those will be one or the other, not both. chromagia is a little more dominant than them, a mixed kid will have the elemental magic at first and then gain chromagia powers while their elemental magic slightly weakens around puberty (this is what’s happening to Solana). poleamagia is the most dominant, any mixed kid will only have poleamagia

Solana starts losing the ability to do more advanced filamagia! each magic system has 5 of these sort of levels of different feats they can perform w their magic that get more advanced as they go along. she just reached level 4, but begins losing her ability as her chromagia comes in and takes more dominance. it kinda puts a permanent buffer on her filamagia, so that she can never progress past like level 2 in fire powers, but she’ll be able to reach level 5 in chromagia someday

i hope i got everything thanks again soooo much i hope i didnt yap your ears off <3

what would ur ocs clothing styles be. i think delfini would be like sporty spice but thats just me

delfini would fucking LOVE sporty spice she loves tracksuit and preppy dress in general

mateo would be emo i’m talking 2000s hot topic emo goth scene emo layered bangs emo

gale would be literally this. monster energy drinker

thea would dress like she’s from the outsiders, maya would wear whatever’s in her closet which basically means that she has a billion graphic tees for stuff she’s never seen

solanas a fucking mess she wears whatever makes her eyes happy. which ends up making everybody else’s very unhappy. her ass is combining fairy grunge with 80s neon and preppy y2k. girl nobody wants to see that

ms avani likes floral dresses, the other geezers don’t know what a style is lmfao
