Mayethian Wolf Forms!

Hylu Mayethian Female

Hylu Mayethian Male

Synring Mayethian Female

Synring Mayethian Male

The physical differences between a Hylu Mayethian and a Synring Mayethian include Synring having longer ears and shorter tails. As well as the fur on their tails being shorter and more fuzzy, while Hylu tail fur is long and fluffy. Synrings also have narrower muzzles and longer cheek fur.

The rear of Mayethians in wolf form are more like bear legs then traditional wolf legs, keeping the compressed paws they have in biped form. While the front legs are the typical legs of a quadruped.

The fur is dense and fluffy, to protect the skin from Mayethia’s harsh sunlight. 

The wolf forms resemble Earth wolves in a lot of ways, but are actually quite a bit smaller. Being roughly the size of a Boarder Collie. Hylu and Synrings have the same average size.

Locks and Keys

(A closed starter for @syncero-blog )

Aqua looks up at the night sky. Stars shimmer over head, but the last light of twilight still lingers on the edge of the horizon. The evening breeze is warm as she follows the path towards the training grounds. There she'll find a small pond to one side, dotted with water lilies, and likely her student sitting beside it. The student is often found at this spot when she's thinking, and she has a lot to think about tonight.

As the blue-haired keyblade master approaches the pond, she does indeed spot her young student. Sitting by the water with her back to her approaching master. The student is a female, around 23 years old, and of a species know as "Mayethian". This gives her the distinguishing characteristics of having the ears and tail of a wolf. On this girl specifically the ears are the same chocolate brown as her exceptionally long hair. Her tail is this color as well, but it also has a streak of silver running all the way down the top.

One of the girl’s ears soon tips back as the sound of the other's foot steps hit it, and she half-turns to look over her shoulder. The slightly startled look she had first worn, instantly changes to a more friendly expression when she realizes who it is.  

"Master Aqua."

"Hello, Maranwe." The master greets warmly, taking a seat in the grass next to her student. "Lovely evening."

"Yes it is.” Maranwe pauses, trying to think of why her teacher would be out at this hour. “Am I late for something...?" She wouldn’t be surprised if she was.

"No, I just thought I'd come and see how you're doing.” She takes a momentary pause before asking “Are you nervous?"

Maranwe takes a breath, as if to answer on instinct, but says nothing for a moment. "...Should I not be?"

There's a short pause as Aqua looks into the water, a soft current just barely disturbing the reflection of her student's uncertain face. "I wouldn't have recommended you if I didn't think you were ready."

Maranwe looks up at her master for a moment, unintentionally searching her heart with her Mayethian empathic sense to see if that's really how she felt. That takes only a couple of seconds and Maranwe returns her gaze to water's surface, and the stars reflected there. "I’m just- " She pauses, trying to choose her words with care. “I guess I’m.. still not sure I’m right for this...”

The Mayethian alphabet. The charts on the right are from antimoon.com, I blacked out the sounds that aren’t in the Mayethian language. The /ks/ sound is just a standard X sound, it not on the antimoon chart for some reason.

Culture Shock

((Closed starter for @syncero-blog )) Blurry. The world is blurry and wavering. The ground keeps shifting, teetering back and forth... “Or is that me?”

It was difficult to tell with the roar of rushing blood drowning out ever her own steps, clumsily scraping against the odd stone road she now stumbled down. 

The crash had not been pretty. An asteroid had unexpectedly struck her vessel just outside the system, lodging into the front and knocking out several key systems. Including navigation and engine control. Not to mention destroying the control panel she’d been sitting at, but the real injury came from the crash itself. The ship had slammed, nose first, into the little blue planet, crunching and caving in the already damaged cockpit. Her species is resilient, so nothing really broke, but she was left with a head injury that left her senses obscured. She’d forced her way out the ship and headed for the nearest point of light, a nearby city. But dizzy and blurry-eyed as she was out of the question, so she’d had to walk there.

Now those lights are now above her, above the roads to illuminate them on the dark, moonless night that had fallen. The odd, yellow tinted, false light bores into her blurry vision, making her headache pound more. She squeezes her eyes shut again the light and slips down a darker path between two structures, just to take a moment of rest. As she stands with her hand pressed to the bloodied gash on her forehead, trying to regain some of her senses, something breaks though the rush in her ears. A sound. A voice. She turns around to see a person, their face obscured by a deep shadow. The glint of something catches her attention at well, a small blade in the person’s right hand. They repeat what they’d said before, but her hearing still isn’t quite right. Is that thing trying to threaten her?

Little Star Wanderers

A single birth for Hylusians is rare. When a babe is born alone, everyone knows what it means. Except the babe, of course.

These pups aren't intentionally shunned or mistreated. But they catch on pretty quickly that something isn't right. They feel unsettled and out of place. And people treat them differently.

Parents can take different approaches. Some will try to shelter the lone pup till they think it's old enough to understand. Others will make it all clear right away and try to prepare their little one for the life ahead from the very start. Neither choice seems to be better than the other.

While no one is intentionally unkind of these pups, there is a problem within society that feeds into a Star Wanderer's natural loneliness. Because they know a Star Wanderer isn't going to stay, people inadvertently avoid getting too close to them.

Lone pups learn quickly that being alone means staying alone. They grow up feeling unwanted and othered. They often become defensive and untrusting. This makes it difficult to bond with others, even when they eventually do find a home.
